.SYNOPSIS
Changes the VM resource allocation
.DESCRIPTION
This script will change the resource allocation of a given VM in VMWare. By default, the allocation is increased one 'SharesLevel' for CPU, HDD, Memory or all three.
If the SharesLevel for a resource is 'Custom' this will not be changed. ALL hard disks will be set to a new SharesLevel based on the current level of the FIRST disk. Example, script is set to Increase level for All resources:
CPU SharesLevel 'Normal' ---> CPU ShareLevel 'High'
Memory SharesLevel 'Custom' ---> Memory SharesLevel 'Custom'
FIRST HDD SharesLevel 'Low', SECOND HDD SharesLevel 'Normal' ---> ALL HDD SharesLevel 'Normal'
.PARAMETER strHypervisorPlatform
The hypervisor platform, will be passed from ControlUp Console
.PARAMETER strVCenter
The name of the vcenter server that will be connected to to run the PowerCLI commands
.PARAMETER strVMName
The name of the virtual machine the action is to be performed on/for.
.PARAMETER strAction
The desired action to be performed. Increase, Decrease or Report
.PARAMETER strResourceType
The resource to be changed, CPU, Memory, HDD or All
.EXAMPLE
Example is not relevant as this script will be called through ControlUp Console
.NOTES
VMware PowerCLI Core needs to be installed on the machine running the script.
Loading VMWare PowerCLI will result in a 'Join our CEIP' message. In order to disable these in the future run the following commands on the target system:
Set-PowerCLIConfiguration -Scope User -ParticipateInCEIP $false (or $true, if that's your kind of thing)
