The following script uses a self-signed certificate to sign all of the scripts stored in the VMM Library. Before you run the script, you need to create a self-signed certificate.
|
|
The following script adds two Windows Server-based hosts in a trusted Active Directory Domain to System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). You can add more than two hosts by including additional host computer names in the $VMHosts variable.
|
|
In System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) 2008 R2, you can start maintenance mode for a Windows-based host anytime you need to perform maintenance tasks (such as applying updates or replacing a physical component) on the host.
|
|
The script uses the Update-VMMManagedComputer cmdlet to asynchronously update the agent software so that all the managed computers can be updated simultaneously. The script filters out types of hosts that you will need to manually update, such as perimeter network hosts.
|
|
The following example converts a virtual machine that is deployed on an ESX Server host to a Hyper-V virtual machine on a VMM host. To copy the entire script, see ConvertESXVMUsingV2VfromHost.ps1.
|
|
The following example converts a VMware Server-based virtual machine that is stored in the library to a Hyper-V virtual machine on a VMM host. To copy the entire script, see ConvertESXVMUsingV2VfromLibrary.ps1.
|
|
Use the Set-VM VMM cmdlet with the InstallVirtualizationGuestServices parameter to install virtualization guest services on the virtual machines that are managed by the VMM server.
|
|
The following script gets the host ratings for all of the hosts in a host group. performs a direct validation of the specified virtual machine against each host in the host group that had an original host rating greater than zero and returns the host ratings for each host.
|
|
The following script connects the virtual network adapter to a virtual network, changes the MAC address from static to dynamic, and enables virtual LAN (VLAN) identification for the network adapter.
|
|
You can use the following script to create multiple virtual machines when you do not have an existing template.
|
|
The following script creates a specified number of virtual machines from a template and then deploys them on the highest-rated hosts in a host group.
|
|
The following script creates a virtual machine in the library from a blank virtual hard disk. Then, the script deploys the virtual machine on the best-rated host in the host group. Finally, the script stops the virtual machine and stores it in the library.
|
|
The following script gets the computer name and IP address for each virtual machine that is managed by VMM and is in DNS.
|
|
The following script checks all the virtual machines that are managed by the System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) server to determine whether virtual guest services are installed.
|
|
To quickly create virtual machines from a template, you can use the UseLocalVirtualHardDisks parameter of the New-VM cmdlet.
|
|
You can use this script to create a virtual machine from a template that contains an embedded answer file and Integration Components.
|
|
You can use rapid provisioning to recover a virtual machine after a Hyper-V host fails and cannot be recovered.
|
|
You can use parameters with the Set-VM cmdlet to match the CPU settings for a virtual machine to the actual processor hardware on a host during placement or migration.
|
|
The following script adds a host cluster and creates an HAVM. Then the script migrates the HAVM to the highest rated host, stops the HAVM to increase its memory, and then restarts the HAVM. The HAVM is then deleted, and the host cluster is removed from VMM.
|
|
The following script adds a host cluster to System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
|
|
Uses quick migration to move all running virtual machines off a host in a cluster, and then removes the host from service. The script then returns the host to service and performs the same tasks on the other hosts in the cluster.
|
|
The following script is the complete script for adding a VMware ESX Server host and changing its status from OK (Limited) to OK.
|
|
The following script adds a VMware VirtualCenter Server to System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) in secure mode.
|
|
Adds a VMware VirtualCenter Server to VMM in secure mode and changes the status of the ESX Server hosts from OK (Limited) to OK.
