From vSphere DRS Rules to AHV Affinity Policies: What Changes After Migration
vSphere DRS rules stay behind when VMs move to AHV. This post maps each rule type to Prism Central VM-host affinity, VM-VM anti-affinity, and VM startup policies, shows where AHV has no equivalent, and includes a PowerCLI export to rebuild from.

Catch ESXi config drift with Test-VMHostProfileCompliance in PowerCLI. It compares live host state against the profile via HostProfileManager and returns per-host results with detail. https://www.valtersit.com/vault/esxi-host-profile-compliance-drift-detection-with-powercli-26f943/

Pretty fucking much.
Funny thing is, when I helped deploy vSphere and get PowerCLI scripting set for a bunch of background shit, I got a nice meal, I later found out she made over double what I did.

I mean I felt a bit jealous but it is what it is, she has never asked for a job for me there lol

Едно време търсих решение за специфичен рядък проблем с vmware esxi. След дълъг рисърч открих решение през powercli. Днес ми се наложи да използвам това решение и се оказа, че не работи за този хост поради изтекъл сертификат. AI ми даде работеща алтернатива през ssh за миг 🫶

Not many folks realize that ESXCLI can also be invoked remotely using the vSphere APIs (as well as through PowerCLI)

Great to see you can now install latest the #VCF91 version by just using pip across any platform (Windows, Linux & macOS) 👏

Kinda sad to see. I still have loads of PowerCLI stickers and remember how excited and passionate people were about PowerCLI. I think it played a big role in the career of loads of folks.

I'm not sure what the state of vmware ansible modules are compared to powercli.

Actual lol.

I can’t get them to finish my PowerCLI code.

Setting up OAuth for VCenter but still need to use VMWware PowerCLI.

A little PowerShell and now what would have taken 3-5 minutes of clicking many dozens of buttons to trust certificates is now less than 10 seconds in the terminal. 😌
