Hi All,
I have created a Script to take snapshot of a VM and then VMtools and last VM Hardware upgrade.
The problem i am seeing here is its updating the VH Hardware Version but it kicks start before taking the snapshot and before updating the tools. It throws the error mentioned in the output section below for snapshot and also in VMtools update. I could see snapshot is taken but not sure about Vmtools.
Initially script was getting completed but now its getting stuck. attached is the screenshot as well.
Script :-
Function Make-Snapshot($vm)
{
$snapshot =New-Snapshot -VM $vm -Name "BeforeUpgradingVMtoolsHW" -Description "Snapshot taken before Tools and Hardware was updated" -Confirm
}
Function Delete-Snap()
{
Get-VM |Get-Snapshot -Name "BeforeUpgradeVMware" |Remove-Snapshot -Confirm
# $snapshot = Get-Snapshot -Name "BeforeUpgradeVMware" -VM $vm
# Remove-Snapshot -Snapshot $snapshot -Confirm:$false
}
Function VMHWUpgrade($vm)
{
Write-Host "$VM Shutting down" -ForegroundColor Red
$PowerOffVM = Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $VM -Confirm
do
{
Start-Sleep -s 1 | out-null
$i += 1
}
until($vm.PowerState -eq "Poweredoff")
Write-Host "Starting upgrade hardware level on $vm."
Set-VM -VM $VM -Version v10 -Confirm
Start-VM -VM $VM
Write-Host $vm "is up to date" -ForegroundColor Green
}
Function VMToolsUpgrade ($vm)
{
Make-Snapshot $vm
write-host "Updating VMware tools for VM $VM"
get-vm $vm | Update-Tools -noreboot | write-host "VMware Tools Update Completed Successfully." -ForegroundColor Green
}
$VC = read-host "Please enter vCenter Name"
connect-viserver $VC
$VMlist = Get-content C:\temp\Script\HW-VMList.txt
foreach ($vm in $vmlist)
{
Write-Host "Test $vm"
VMToolsUpgrade $vm
VMHWUpgrade $vm
#Delete-Snap $vm
}
