Who wants converter cmdlets and why?

[admin]

What do you want to do with converter cmdlets?

Large-scale P2V?

Automated backup?

Disaster recovery?

Other?

Thanks,

I'd like it for large-scale P2V's, but also so I can make my own Powershell forms so I can do something like hide datastores that do not or will not have enough free space remaining after the conversion.

I'm going to be snarky and say because Microsoft has P2V cmdlets for Hyper-V.

And I like the DR idea as well.

I sure would like Converter cmdlets, principally for backups and DR (see Automating Converter Enterprise jobs with PS).

But are you going to make all possible options available as cmdlet parameters ?

Or will you keep the XML files that are currently used by the Converter ?

Would make the PS solution "portable"

FWIW, keeping with the Microsoft comparison, their P2V cmdlet is a beast. I am kinda favoring the idea of having an external file somehow. Maybe a conversion script and splatting would be a PowerShell way of doing it.

Here are some that would be nice:

• Automated P2V's

• Resetting VM IP addresses once they are over

• Check status of P2Vs

• DR

• V2V for growing disks (partitions) etc

Thanks

Yes Please!

cmdlets for Large-Scale P2V would be fantastic. I'm in the middle of a pretty fair sized P2V project now and would love cmdlets to make my work easier.

DR would be a plus as well once that responsibility starts falling to me.

I came to the community looking for a DR solution and thought I'd resurrect this post.

Is this ever going to be a possibility?

Thanks!
