Looking for vCD PowerCLI script to update VM CoresPerSocket value.

[vinothkumarn]

Hello,

I am looking for a vCD PowerCLI script to update VM CoresPerSocket value.

I am using below but it is not working.

Connect-CIServer -Server vCD_IP -user User -password Password

$CIVM = Get-CIVM "VM_Name" -Org "ORG_Name"

$CIVM.ExtensionData.Section[0].Item[6].VirtualQuantity.Value = 2

$CIVM.ExtensionData.Section[0].UpdateServerData()

I can achieve this with vCloud REST API but i need vCD PowerCLI script.

Kindly help.

Per: set vCloud Director vApp VM memory and hardware with PowerCLI I can see we can only edit RASD but,

Is this possible ?

This is what I am using...

# Set Cores Per Socket

  $CIVM.ExtensionData.Section[0].Item[6].Any[0].'#text' = $coreval

  $CIVM.ExtensionData.Section[0].UpdateServerData()

Hi paulrg

not sure what you mean?!

I get an error while trying to change "Number of sockets" in vCloud via PowerCLI

vCloud Director version 10.3.3.19610595

PowerCLI version 12.7
