A little birdie told me this today. Well, actually his name is Dmitry. Anyhow, I never thought that I would see the day. I know people have been managing VMware infrastructure with some custom PowerShell scripts. But, to think that there may soon be glorious cmdlets from which I can unleash the hounds of PowerShell automation upon VMware based datacenters. Well, I’m shocked. This is a very development.
So, I employed the use of Google err Microsoft Live and dug up some information:
- The concept of managing VMware infrastructure was introduced at the last VMware world.
- Slides from that presentation are located here: https://blogs.vmware.com/vipowershell/files/VMworld2007_IO30.pdf
- Needless to say, the blog this is listed on is the blog for the PowerShell team at VMware.
Sadly, other than the slides from VMware, the announcement, and the several postings on the blog there is no other info or anything that I can download and play with. Darn… Needless to say, this RSS is locked and loaded.
Favorite one-liner from the presentation:Get-VM -Server $vcs| where {$_.State -eq“PoweredOn”} | New-Snapshot -name “Daily Snapshot”-memory
That reminds me, a little out of context, but I should post a PS script that I wrote to take snapshots of guests running on a MS Virtual Server.
