Hi,
I have quite specific requirements regarding host upgrade, so I’m writing a script which is roughly doing:
Upgrade ESXi
if (finished) {Start Firmware upgrade }
I need to know when ESXi upgrade is finished in order to start firmware upgrade. If reboot is needed whole operation might take ~20 -30 min
Wait-task wasn’t helpful because it time our after some time. So I wrote my own version of Wait-Task, but sometimes it “get stuck” when server is rebooted.
I can see in vCenter that server is back online, but when I check task status it’s still “Running” with 26%, when I press Enter on console with my script, task state is refreshed and it change to 100%, then script continue.
Do you have any idea how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated
Function WaitTask( $TaskID, [int]$Interval=5 ){
$Task = Get-task -id $TaskID
if($Task){
do{
$Task = Get-Task -Id $TaskID
$TaskName = $Task.Name
$TaskProgres = $Task.PercentComplete
$TaskState=$Task.State
$Text = "Task: $TaskName, State: $TaskState, Progress: $TaskProgres"
write-host -f blue $Text
Write-Log -Str $Text -Log $LogFile
sleep $Interval
}
until( ($TaskState -eq "Success") -or ($TaskState -eq "Error") )
return $TaskState
}else{
Write-host "TaskID is null"
}
}
$MyTask = Remediate-Inventory -Entity $EsxHost -Baseline $BaseLine -ClusterDisableHighAvailability:$true -Confirm:$false -RunAsync
$TaskState = WaitTask -TaskID $MyTask.ID -Interval 15
This is how the task status lok before I press the enter.
