I’ve stumbled on a great demo created by someone from China, it’s about controlling virtual distributed switches with PowerCLI. I’m trying to contact this (137145shi) guy because he didn’t post a download link or a homepage URL. The only thing I can see in the video is that he’s copying some VDSAutomation.dll files.
We? developed a PowerShell snap-in to manage vSphere vDS , which could help VI admins a lot. This vedio is a demo about vDS management cmdlets implemented in PowerCLI. There are some preliminary vDS cmdlets showed in this demo and they are listed as follows.
1.Get-VDS
2.Get-DVPortgroup
3.New-VDS
4.New-DVPortgroup
5.Add-VDSHost
6.Remove-VDSHost
7.Set-VDS
8.Set-DVPortgroup
9.Remove-VDS
10.Remove-DVPortgroup
update : Here is the supervisor's official response:
"Sorry this tool is still a bit unbaked as of now, hence no download information. In the mean while, you may attend the upcoming VMworld 2009 TA3521 session, where a number of 3rd party and/or open source Virtual Switch/Networking related management and troubleshooting tools are going to be demonstrated and discussed for the first time."
