been working on this for a few... err... long time. searched all over an i just can't find what i need, not complete anyway.
I have several hundred VMs that we did a svmotion from one datastore to another. about 20% of them did what is called linked-cloning and left the old datastore listed. Its not critical we fix this but we need to for future reasons and we know the easiest fix is to just create a snapshot which for whatever reason kicks the VM into realizing the old datastore isn't active.
I'm trying to write a script that would check a cluster for VMs with 2 datastores listed matching XXX1 and XXX2
here is what i have:
$vms = Get-Cluster "drscluster01" |Get-VM |Get-Datastore |where {$_.Name -match "XXX1" }|where {$_.Name -match "XXX2"}
Foreach ($Vm in $Vms) {
Write-Host "test"
}
obviously write-host "test" just tells me its found, i plan on putting in create-snapshot for it once i know it works. More importantly is I can't get them to match 1 name let alone 2.
Any help would be appreciated
