The following script doesn't seem to be setting a static IP from the csv file. Any ideas as to what I should check?
# Define the naming convention for the virtual machines.
$vmNameTemplate = "Test123-{0:D3}"
# Save the cluster in which the virtual machines should be created into a variable.
$cluster = Get-Cluster test-cluster
# Save the template on which the virtual machines should be based into a variable.
$template = Get-Template test123
# Save the static IP addresses from the stored CSV file into a variable.
$staticIpList = Import-CSV C:\StaticIPs.csv
# Create the vitrual machines.
$vmList = @()
for ($i = 1; $i –le 2; $i++) {
$vmName = $vmNameTemplate –f $i
$vmList += New-VM –Name $vmName –ResourcePool $cluster –Template $template
}
# Create the customization specification.
$linuxSpec = New-OSCustomizationSpec –Name test-custom –Domain test.com –DnsServer "192.168.10.1" –NamingScheme VM –OSType Linux
# Clone the customization specification to a nonpersistent type.
$specClone = New-OSCustomizationSpec –Spec $linuxSpec –Type NonPersistent
# Apply the customization specification to each virtual machine.
for ($i = 0; $i –lt $vmList.Count; $i++) {
# Acquire a new static IP from the list
$ip = $staticIpList[$i].IP
# The specification has a default NIC mapping – retrieve it and update it with the static IP
$nicMapping = Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping –OSCustomizationSpec $specClone
$nicMapping | Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping –IpMode UseStaticIP –IpAddress $ip –SubnetMask "255.255.255.0" –DefaultGateway "192.168.10.1"
# Apply the customization
Set-VM –VM $vmList[$i] –OSCustomizationSpec $specClone –Confirm:$false
}
Write-Host ""
Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false
