Thanks LucD. Try and catch works well in this case. I still have another problem with error redirection and will continue to discuss here. Please be patient as I am new to redirection. Assuming $InvalidCluster is invalid. Get-Cluster $InvalidCluster 2>&1 | Tee-Object -FilePath .\error.log -Append #This works fine and write error to screen and file However, This doesnt work and I am confused. Get-Cluster $InvalidCluster | Remove-Cluster -confirm:$false 2>&1 | Tee-Object -FilePath .\error.log -Append #Write only to screen , not to file Do I need Try-Catch? Its confusing why the latter is not working.

I am unable to capture error to logfile of get-view unmount luns command. Usual way to redirecting using 2>&1 | tee -append $logfile or out-file wont work. Here is an example: $StorageSys = Get-View $VMHost.Extensiondata.ConfigManager.StorageSystem $storagesys.UnmountVmfsVolume($invaliduuid) 2>&1 | Tee-Object -Append $logFile $storagesys.UnmountVmfsVolume($invaliduuid) | outfile -append $logfile #### Prefer Tee method as i need screen output too any workaround?

I am looking for way to get associated deploy-rule based on cluster. I have no luck finding that on Get-cluster with all related info and extensiondata. The closet one i got is from (get-deployrule).itemlist.name but the position of name depends on list of items configured in deployrule. any other way to do it?

Hi, Set-VMHost -VMHost $vmhost -State "Maintenance" Above command doesnt move powered off vms , although its default behaviour in vSphere UI while placing Maintenance Mode (ticked checked box using UI). Is there any parameter that we can set in set-vmhost command to achieve this? regards, Max

Hi there, Currently we have assigned user groups from vCenter layer (top most) and propagated down to child objects. I wanna control a particular group ( lets say, Group-A) to deny access to a cluster. What if I assign Group-A to have "No Access" role and apply it on the cluster level that i wanna control, Will "No Access" take affect or previously applied role from vCenter layer? What is the best way to achieve this? The requirement is to deny access to a cluster and the rest stays the same. Thanks, Max

Hi All, with update of HA behaviour in 6.5, I have to update Admission Control setting in my environment. I need to uncheck "Override failover capacity...". I am looking for PowerCLI command to do it as I have a number of clusters to be updated. The only closet place I can find is under (Get-Cluster test01).ExtensionData.Configuration.dasconfig.admissioncontrolpolicy Is there anyway to do this via PowerCLI? Thanks!

Hi All, I understand there are 3 options to select when putting host into MM using Webclient . Like many others, I still use C# client for daily tasks. What option does it choose when putting host into MM using C# client? Is it default option "Ensure accessibility"? Many Thanks! Max

Dear All, I am still new to PowerCLI. My goal is to find death luns path in all the hosts. I can use this command Get-VMHost | Get-ScsiLun | Get-scsilunpath | Where {$_.state -eq “Dead”}. This will give me nice the output like this. But No VMhost name. Name SanID State Preferred ------- ------- ------ ---------- vmhba.xxx xx.xx.xx Dead True How can I have another column that includes hostname? Thank you! Max
