[jvm2016]

HI Luc,

i am thinking to add vcenter high availability in folowing way but i did not find direct command to do that .can you please suggest some siple code to do this .

#vcenter HA configuration

write-host "checking vcenter High availabity solution"

$vcha=get-view failoverclusterconfigurator

$state=$vcha.getVchaConfig().state

if($state -eq "notconfigured")

{

write-host "configuring vcha cluster"

$activeip=Read-Host "provide active ip"

$activeip_mask=Read-Host "provide active ip mask"

$passivip=Read-Host "provide passive ip mask"

$passivip_mask=Read-Host "provide passive ip mask"

$witnessip=Read-Host "provide witness ip"

$witnessip_mask=Read-Host "provide witness ip net mask"

}

The vCenters are not installed/visible under the vCenter you have access to in the lab afaik.

will check on other lsbs .thnaks

[jvm2016]

since its not self manged vcha cluster can not be configured here and other labs where vcenter is not self manged.

[LucD]

If there is no HoL for VCHA I suspect you will have to try/test this in a lab of your own.

[jvm2016]

i will try that .however i find powercli and powershell very addictive .

[LucD]

It is (and I should know) :smileygrin:

[jvm2016]

just thought of asking your view if a vmware environment is implemented with following in one script .will it not carry lot of value to it.

1.update powercli

2.install posh-ssh

3.create ftp server

4.vcsa native back up

5.create content lib

6.vcha high avalability

[LucD]

Not really.
The only thing I would do, instead of using 1 script, create multiple scripts.
One for each functionality. Perhaps even consider a module.

And then use a main script that calls all these functions.

The big advantages would be (at least for me)

• reusability
• easier maintenance
• 1 function = 1 task

[jvm2016]

yes that can be easliy converted to .psm1 file consisting individual functions .but these features will be of great help if implemented .
