upgrade vm hardware and tools with one script

[vmk2014]

Hi,

I am looking  for script to upgrading multiple VMs  vmware tools and Hardware version upgrade in one script after running the below script.

Get-VM | Select Name,@{N='ToolStatus';E={$_.ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsStatus}} |

export-csv C:\Tools-Report.csv -UseCulture -NoTypeInformation

Any help on this will be appreciated.

Thanks

You could do something like this

Import-Csv C:\Tools-Report.csv -UseCulture |

where{$_.ToolStatus -ne [VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineToolsStatus]::toolsOk} | %{

    $vm = Get-VM $_.Name

    Update-Tools -VM $vm -NoReboot

    $poweredOn = $false

    if($vm.PowerState -ne 'PoweredOff'){

        $poweredOn = $true

        Stop-VM -VM $vm -Confirm:$false

    }

    Set-VM -VM $vm -Version ([VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.VM.VMVersion]::v10) -Confirm:$false

    if($poweredOn){

        Start-VM -VM $vm -Confirm:$false

    }

}

Thanks LuCD.

For Hardware version I need to take downtime approval.How about if i  need to upgrade vmware tools  only  without re-boot based on the script i mentioned earlier ?

Thanks

Then you just leave the Set-VM and following lines (but not the closing curly braces)

LucD,

     Just to confirm ?

Import-Csv C:\Tools-Report.csv -UseCulture |

where{$_.ToolStatus -ne [VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineToolsStatus]::toolsOk} | %{

    $vm = Get-VM $_.Name

    Update-Tools -VM $vm -NoReboot

    $poweredOn = $false

    if($vm.PowerState -ne 'PoweredOff'){

        $poweredOn = $true

        Stop-VM -VM $vm -Confirm:$false

    }

thanks

In fact this should be enough

Import-Csv C:\Tools-Report.csv -UseCulture |

where{$_.ToolStatus -ne [VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineToolsStatus]::toolsOk} | %{

    $vm = Get-VM $_.Name

    Update-Tools -VM $vm -NoReboot

}
