need to modify a script for all hosts in vcenter

[IB_IT]

Hi all,

I have the following script that works when connecting directly to an esxi host...need to modify this so I can attach to the vcenter so I can only run it once as opposed to on each host.

Basically I am trying to add a single IP address to one of the rulesets on all the hosts.

(Get-VMHost $esxhost )

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esxhost

$esxcli.network.firewall.ruleset.allowedip.add("10.10.10.10", "vSphereClient")

This is probably simple, but when I try a FOREACH statement it just doesn't work.  Not very proficient with powercli

Any help would be appreciated!

Try like this

Get-VMHost | %{

    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $_

    $esxcli.network.firewall.ruleset.allowedip.add("10.10.10.10", "vSphereClient")

}

To run the script on all of the hosts, you can use the following command:

(Get-VMHost | Get-EsxCli).network.firewall.ruleset.allowedip.add("10.10.10.10", "vSphereClient")
