Re: [vcheck] vCheck for multiple vCenter servers

sometimes I get so into a problem that I forget some basic troubleshooting steps! I replaced the new plugin content with a simple script and it worked. Thanks again Luc!

The new plugin contains a function that I loaded in the ISE profile that I normally use every day but it's not used by the scripts that run scheduled, so I created the $profile.ps1 and added the  function there...and it worked!

and no... I don't use the 00 plugin to call the vcenter servers actually I set the 00 plugin NOT to call anything..

$Title = "Connection settings for vCenter"

$Author = "Alan Renouf"

$PluginVersion = 1.20

$Header = "Connection Settings"

$Comments = "Connection Plugin for connecting to vSphere"

$Display = "None"

$PluginCategory = "vSphere"

# Start of Settings

# Please Specify the address (and optional port) of the vCenter server to connect to [servername(:port)]

#$Server = ""

# End of Settings

I instead created a global-variables-VCx.ps1 file for each vcenter server and edited it like this:

# Set the following to true to enable the setup wizard for first time run

$SetupWizard = $False

$Server = "VC1"

$diskformat = "thin"

$OverAllocation = 100

then the vcheck.ps1 invoke the right plugin-VC1.xml file which calls that global-variables-VC1.ps1

<vCheck>

  <globalVariables>global-variables-VC1.ps1</globalVariables>

  <plugins path="Plugins">

    <plugin>00 Connection Plugin for vCenter.ps1</plugin>

    <plugin>03 Datastore Information.ps1</plugin>

    <plugin>07 Hosts Overcommit State.ps1</plugin>

then anytime I need a report on the fly I run the scheduled task manually. Do you foresee any problems with my approach?
