start "vpxa" on esxi hosts _powercli

HI LUC.D,

could you please check the following script.  this is to get all hosts in vcenters which are not responding and then start vpxa service by direcly login to esxi boxes.

1:blue part will get info of esxi hosts which are not responding in all vcenters and disconnect from vcenters.

2:orange will connect to esxi host and restart vpxa agent .

3:can i pass info stored in $esxi_notres(hosts which are not responding) to function connect-esxi?

4:alsowhat is the key for hostd service in get-vmhostservice output.

$vc=@("tcclabc002vctt01.servers.chrysler.com","shccertvcs01.shdc.chrysler.com")

Connect-VIServer -Server $vc -user "administrator@vsphere.local" -password ""

$esxi_notres=get-vmhost|Where-Object{$_.connectionstate -eq "notresponding"}

$esxi_main=get-vmhost|Where-Object{$_.connectionstate -eq "maintenance"}

$esxi_notres.name

disconnect-viserver -server "*" -force -confirm:$false

$global:defaultviserver

function connect-esxi

{

[cmdletbinding()]

param(

[parameter(mandatory=$true)]

[string[]]$esxihost

)

connect-viserver -server $esxihost -username "root" -password ""

get-vmhost $esxihost|Get-VMHostService|where-object{$_.key -eq "vpxa"}|start-VMHostService

}

Thanks for your suport.
