Script to change PSP fails on ESXi5

[stjeanl1]

Hi,

I used to use this script to change the PSP on our productions LUNs presented to ESXi 4.1 hosts but it no longer works on ESXi5.  I was able to find the command to run on a single host while connect via ssh but I have 10+ LUNs to change on at least 20 or more hosts.  I'd like to script it.

I have limited experience with scripting so any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Connect-VISERVER -Server hpc05b14

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -Server hpc05b14
$esxcli.storage.nmp.device.set($null,"naa.60060e80058dca0000008dca00002110", "VMW_PSP_RR")

I receive the following error;

Is serve hpc05b14 a vCenter or an ESXi server ?

If it is an ESXi host can you try with the VMHost parameter instead of the Server parameter ?

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost hpc05b14

It's an ESXi host.  Using the -VMHost parameter worked for this LUN but I tried another LUN to make sure my script really worked but now I get the following error;

The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

Merci

Thanks Luc!

Never mind my last post, I made a mistake when I copied the LUN id.
