I checked the vpxd log but should not find anything strange. Meanwhile i tried to mold the script (by increasing the shutdown time), but it worked in the first attempt but failed in the second attempt. I have a script to authenticate multiple vCenter at a time to find the VM present in the csv file. Any help to make the script work as expected.
$computerName = Import-Csv E:\VMToolsandvHardware\ExportList.csv
foreach ($server in $computerName)
{
Get-vm $($server.Name) | Shutdown-VMGuest -Confirm:$false
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "shutingdown $($server.Name) and going to sleep mode for 60 sec" #shuting down
start-sleep -seconds 60
$vmObj = Get-VM -Name $($server.Name)
# 1. Query ESXi host information the VM hosted
$esxiHostVer = (Get-vm $($server.Name) | get-vmhost).Version
# 2. Get the ESXi host version (6.5.0 or 6.7.0 or 7.0.1) and store it in variable and pass it to switch ($variable)
switch ($esxiHostVer)
{
6.5.0 {$vmHWVersion = "vmx-13"}
6.7.0 {$vmHWVersion = "vmx-15"}
7.0.1 {$vmHWVersion = "vmx-18"}
}
$vmObj.ExtensionData.UpgradeVM($vmHWVersion)
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Hardware version upgraded for $($server.Name) to $($vmHWVersion) "
start-sleep -seconds 5
Get-vm $($server.Name) | Start-VM
}
