Edit settings for several VMs

[sylstyle]

Hi,

I am searching for a script capable of changing a specific setting for several VM, do you know if someone has already developed something like that? I posted into the PowerCLI forum but if it's possible in another language, i am interested :smileyhappy:

Thanks,

Syl

Hi Syl,

you can use PowerCLI to change a specific setting on multiple VM's. For example to change the number of virtual CPU's from one to two on all VM's in cluster MyCluster you can do something like:

Get-Cluster MyCluster | Get-VM | Where-Object {$_.NumCPU -eq 1} | Set-VM -NumCPU 2

Which setting do you want to change?

Regards, Robert

Thanks you for your quick reply, in fact I would like to not select all the VM of a cluster... maybe this command is working with a ressource pool?

I would like to change:

-Number of vCPU

-Memory

CPU and RAM affinity in the Ressources tab:

-Advanced CPU

-Advanced Memory

Regards, Syl

I found the way to change vCPU and memory to a ressource pool and it works perfectly thanks :smileyhappy:

Now I just miss the CPU/memory affiinity setting...

Have a look at the Set-VMResourceConfiguration cmdlet for the CPU affinity.
