"Anything you can do in console" : Just want to amend and note that the vsphere web console allows for viewing the guest machine's console, as well as performance metrics (i.e. graphs) which cannot be displayed in text/cli
You misunderstand - I can start a console, etc from PowerCLI (or REST). Take a look at this script which does this, as well as producing screen snapshots, (and shows performance metrics although not graphically as I am not trying to replicate the web console in its entirety, just implement the key bits for testers, QA, devs, etc) github.com/guyrleech/VMware/blob/master/VMware%20GUI.ps1
Thanks for this Video. Can we schedule and take snapshot using powerCLI (In console we have an option to schedule snapshot on each vm level) Thank you.
Hey, Nice video . Can you plz help me out, Do you have any sample script to create and delete the snapshot. Ex I have 15 snapshot but I want to create new one and delete the oldest one 15 number snapshot only so I can mentain retention period.
Thank you. Take a look at this script which contains code for creating and deleting snapshots but make sure you delete the right ones! github.com/guyrleech/VMware/blob/master/VMware%20GUI.ps1
If you take a look at my VMware GUI script, it has the ability to change the RAM allocated to a VM, which needs to be done when the VM is stopped if dynamic add isn't enabled. Also code in there to shutdown & start a VM (for snapshot purposes) github.com/guyrleech/VMware/blob/master/VMware%20GUI.ps1
this video best but my conscience is i have vcenter on my premises but i work manually how to multiple clones with vsphere virtual machine with assign IP address and host-name
You want fixed IP addresses rather than DHCP? I have a cloning script for non-vCenter although don't use linked clones with 7.0 - github.com/guyrleech/VMware/blob/master/ESXi%20cloner.ps1
Hey Guy. Thanks for sharing your precious knowledge with us. I really appreciate. I will check vcenter gui script asap. Cheers!
Hello can i the poweshell script to get the status of the vm...We just wanted agent unreachable machine count with vm name

This might be a long shot but how about a ps script to increase cpu/ram on vms with hot add disabled?
