In include my script, based on what suggested by LucD while answering to my prevuous post Creating scheduled tasks
#
# Based on da http://www.lucd.info/2009/10/18/scheduled-tasks-methodaction/
#
Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
Connect-VIServer <IP Address> -User <username>
$csvName = "E:\Test.csv"
$tgtDatastore = <target datastore name>
$emailAddr = <my e-mail address>
$startTime = [Datetime]"10/21/2016 20:00" # late in the future, just to see if the script works
$startInterval = 5
$si = get-view ServiceInstance
$scheduledTaskManager = Get-View $si.Content.ScheduledTaskManager
$offset = 0
Import-Csv $csvName | % {
$a = $_.VMname
$a
$vm = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Name"=$_.VMname}
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ScheduledTaskSpec
$spec.Name = "svMotion " + $_.VMname
$spec.Description = "Migrate " + $_.VMname + " to " + $tgtDatastore
$spec.Enabled = $true
$spec.Notification = $emailAddr
$spec.Scheduler = New-Object VMware.Vim.OnceTaskScheduler
$spec.Scheduler.runat = $startTime.AddMinutes($offset)
$offset += $startInterval
$spec.Action = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodAction
$spec.Action.Name = "RelocateVM_Task"
$arg1 = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodActionArgument
$arg1.Value = New-Object
$arg1.Value.datastore = (Get-Datastore $tgtDatastore | Get-View).MoRef
$arg1.Value.pool = $vm.ResourcePool
$arg1.Value.host = $vm.Runtime.Host
$arg1.Value.host
$spec.Action.Argument += $arg1
$arg2 = New-Object VMware.Vim.MethodActionArgument
$arg2.Value = [VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineMovePriority]"defaultPriority"
$spec.Action.Argument += $arg2
$scheduledTaskManager.CreateScheduledTask($vm.MoRef, $spec)
}
The scheduled task creation is fine, but the task is based on changing both host and datastore.
How can I change the settings?
