PowerCLI to schedule VM Hardware update?


Anyone know of a script that I can run to install vmx-09 on my servers at a scheduled time?

I have a number of servers that need to be upgraded and most can only be shut down after hours. Since I need to get these done preferably before I come in in the morning, I'd like to schedule them around 7am.


Solution

  • This script apparently uses the UpgradeVM_Task method to target hardware v7. I haven't tried it.

    In case you're using the Windows Task Scheduler, here are two ways to schedule a PowerCLI task.

    Update Manager sounds like another thing to check out.
