This is a simple way of adding memory to a powered-on vm, which has the Memory hot plug option enabled. It reads the server names from a file (deploy.csv) and updates the memory to what is specified in the script.
- First the deploy.csv file
name vmserver01 vmserver02
- Actual script, MemoryMB needs to be updated
#Connect to vcenter server
connect-viserver vcenter.domain.local
#Import vm name and ip from file
Import-Csv deploy.csv |
foreach { $strNewVMName = $_.name write-host "Server ----- $strNewVMName" #MemoryMB needs to change Set-VM -VM $strNewVMName -MemoryMB 6144 Sleep 2 Get-VM -name $strNewVMName | Select Name, MemoryGB $Report += $strNewVMName
}
write-host "Sleeping ..."
Sleep 10
#Send out an email with the names
$emailFrom = "<from email id>"
$emailTo = "<to email id>"
$subject = "List of servers with upgraded memory"
$smtpServer ="<smtp server name>"
$smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
$smtp.Send($emailFrom, $emailTo, $subject
, $Report)
