Re: Running a PowerCLI script against multiple vCenters at the same time

AmolPatil — Mon, 06 Mar 2017 16:14:42 GMT

So finally how you did this simultaneously to connect all the VC.

I also trying to do the same but no luck.

I want to get Multiple VM's information from multiple VCs, but currently I am pushing this using Foreach loop to get inside VC's details.

I want to run my script parallelly on all mentioned VCs.

LucD assist me to use Job but didn't understand so looking for some example to get this done.

Your help appreciated.

Multiple VMs Inventory using multitasking process ?

AmolPatil — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 05:53:48 GMT

Hello,

I was trying for long to make a script to fetch multiple VMs information from VC(s).

I got success to build a script with desired format and properties BUT this will go one my one ForEach ($vm in$Vms)

Now I am looking for code which will run as a job OR parallel process to fetch the 1000+ VMs information simultaneously to save the time and speedup the process.

Any Hint?

How to know if ESX/ESXi host is in cluster or standalone ?

AmolPatil — Wed, 20 Jul 2016 13:38:44 GMT

Hello Experts,

Is there a way to know if ESX/ESXi host is in any cluster or standalone ?

I can pull the hosts information from multiple VC but now i want to know if that particular host is part of cluster or standalone?

It should show standalone if so or else it should give cluster name if it is part of cluster.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Friend,

Find the attached script to Get DataStore Usage Report on email.

This will give you HTML format report on your email and with RED mark if any datastore is running with less then 20% of free space.

Contents of path

DataStoreUsageReport.ps1 - Main script file which need to execute from path.

email_id.txt – Creat .txt file at script location and add recipients email ID in this file.

vc_list.txt – Creat .txt file at script location and add correct VC name from which have to collect datastore details.

\Report - Where output will be save.

Script Description: This script will connect to multiple VCs > colleact Datastore Usage Report > Save OutPut as HTML format > Send email.

Output will show in RED if any datasotre's Free Space % is less then 20

Note - Change SMTP server as per your setup.

For example - I need to check one host - when its gone in maintenance mode and by whom.
