Hi team,

How to update multiple hosts patching using below code. 

connect-viserver vc1,vc2,vc3

$basechk=Get-Baseline -Name "Baselinename"
foreach ($ho in Get-VMHost (Get-Content hostlist.txt)){
foreach($ho1 in get-vmhost $ho){
Remediate-Inventory -Entity $ho1 -Baseline $basechk -ClusterDisableHighAvailability:$true -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -RunAsync}}

And what is the issue with that code?

[sivagndl]

Thanks Lucd for reply.. 

no error. it slilently exit from the script.. 

No action perfomed.

Due to the RunAsync switch, it is normal that it silently exits.

But you should see the Tasks running, with Get-Task or in the Web GUI

[sivagndl]

No Lucd,, Not running any task.. i have cheacked it. 

[LucD]

Leave out the RunAsync switch and see if any errors are returned.

i tryed like below , its working as expected. 

impored csv file with Host name and vcenter

foreach ($ho in import-csv hostlist.csv) {
foreach($ho1 in get-vmhost -name $ho.name ) {
Remediate-Inventory -Entity $ho1.name -Baseline (Get-Baseline -Name "ADP-6.7-Dell-dec2022" -server $ho.vcenter) -ClusterDisableHighAvailability:$true -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -RunAsync
}
}

So you have Baselines with the same name in multiple vCenters?

[sivagndl]

Yes. Same baseline need to update all vcenters. 

Any better improve script.  ?

No, not really
