Rescan HBAs.
Get settings in VMX config file. (MAC Address, vmxnet, etc..)
Check if Snapshots exist for vmguest
I'd like to be able to remove uneccessary serial\parallel\usb ports and correct the SCSI Controller otherwise we have to do it manually in a DR situation)
I'd had the same idea (http://halr9000.com/article/464#comment-6470) but have not looked at /how/ yet. I bet LucD has, he seems to get pretty deep into the SDK. ![]()

Checking for snapshots can be done by the Get-Snapshot cmdlet.
Thanks,
I guess I could use that since it just doesn't return any output if none exists.
In addition to the others listed , I noticed another real nice need.
If I need to change settings of vmguests in a Resource Pool from NORMAL to LOW or HIGH or set a CUSTOM share level it would be good to code that instead of going into each one at a time
I haven't messed with it yet, but you should be able to do this with New-ResourcePool to create the reservations. Then you would use Move-VM to place your VMs into that pool. Maybe VMware or someone else can verify this.

How about "New-SerialPort" "Remove-SerialPort", ditto Parallel port, ditto USB Controller (particularly the remove!) ?
Also "Set-SCSIController" to change the type between BusLogic and LSI
(I'm using a powershell script using the VI toolkit and P2VTOOL.exe to hot clone production servers to a DR Cluster. I'd like to be able to remove uneccessary serial\parallel\usb ports and correct the SCSI Controller otherwise we have to do it manually in a DR situation)
Thanks

That is only helpful when creating new Resource pools. If I have an existing resource pool and many guests are set to CUSTOM or another share level that i would like to change on that individual guest then that is a one guest at a time change via the VI client and it sure would be good to do multiple at a time or better yet automate it here from VI Toolkit.
The other guys making points on changing devices is kinda what I meant by changing the VMX config file settings , where any change can be automated via Tookit, sure would be great.
thanks
Guys, I just realized this is bad forum etiquette and I've only been enabling it. ![]()
Please open a new thread for each individual request/problem/discussion, that way others can find it later, and people following "all new posts" will see your post, instead of it being hidden behind this generic thread title.
Now, I myself made a similar thread titled "", but the ANSWERS are not discussed in that thread.
(If I were a moderator here, I might close this thread.)
Just saying...
thanks

Hi guys, i don't idea if i'm in the right place.
Like Subject said. I place a request here for us to add a function.
Function is like :
priority.grabbed = "host_controlled" priority.ungrabbed = "host_controlled"
Is very frustrating all time i grab / ungrab to / from a virtual machine go to taskmanager on the host OS to set vmware-vmx.exe priority to high or whatever higher than normal.
If i set priority to high and ungrab from vmware, priority process goes lower to normal.
Pleaseeeee add this "host_controlled" option to priority.grabbed & priority.ungrabbed settings
These are VMware Workstation undocumented VMX settings afaik.
I suggest opening a new thread in the Workstation community.
