starting ntp on esxi_powercli

[jvm2016]

hi Luc,

can you check if this is the corrrect way of starting ntp service

$clu=read-host "provide cluster name"

$cluster=Get-Cluster -Name $clu

$vmhosts=get-vmhost -Location $cluster

foreach($vmhost in $vmhosts)

{

$ntpd=Get-VMHostService -VMHost $vmhost|?{$_.Key -eq 'ntpd'}

$ntpd.Running

if($ntpd.Running -eq 'false')

{

$ntpd|Start-VMHostService -WhatIf

}

}

Yes, that will work, but I would be tempted to do it in more 'PowerShell' kind of way.

$clu = read-host "provide cluster name"

Get-Cluster -Name $clu |

   Get-VMHost |

   Get-VMHostService |

   where {$_.Key -eq 'ntpd' -and -not $_.Running} |

   Start-VMHostService -Confirm:$false -WhatIf
