VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reference: Automating vSphere Administration

If you have hit the wall using cmdlets in your scripts this is the book to transport you to the next level! I had a sticking point in a script I had written for a mass configuration change and five minutes after I got the Kindle version I had what I needed. Not only did I find out what to do to fix my script I learned the actual REASONS it wasn't working as written. This book is a must have for someone who finds themselves suddenly going from quick and dirty "admin" scripts to being requested to script a solution that will save the organization lots of time and ensure consistency.If you are where I was I suggest you read the following parts/chapters/topics first:=Part VI Chapter 25 Running Scripts: Has lots of information that other books assumed the reader knew. Like logging and proper commenting formats. It includes the MUST READ Script Tips and Hints.=Part V Chapter 18 the SDK - Take your time and use a lab session to walk thru this and the light bulb just comes on! This is boot camp for the vSphere web client API and whatever your level was when you start this chapter you will be at minimum twice the scripter when you complete it IF you take the time to fully walk thru it. I can't impress that enough.=Part V Chapter 23 - Power Actions shows you how to incorporate your scripts into the actual web client!=Part 5 Chapter 24 - Source control. You are in a new league after reading chapter 18 so you should really get organized.The other topics are great advise on other projects my organization has coming up and after my recent success I want to be ready when called upon.

Great book, learning Power CLI eliminates the left click, right click UI action in VSphere.

Excellent reference for automating your vSphere infrastructure.

This is the missing documentation for PowerCLI.

The ultimate PowerCLI reference!

The second edition of *the* definitive PowerCLI reference book. Just when you thought they couldn't add any more content, the second edition adds another couple of chapters and hundreds of pages of content. Written by the masters of Powershell and PowerCLI, you have no doubt come across each of their names whilst googling the answer to some obscure question with PowerCLI, or vSphere in general.The book itself covers a wide range of topics for all stages of PowerCLI knowledge. That said, the book assumes a base level of Powershell knowledge. This should be a fair assumption- afterall Powershell has been out the best part of a decade- but I personally quite often run into administrators that have limited or no knowledge of Powershell. Chapter 25 and the Appendix cover the basics of how to execute scripts and some Powershell function for these inexperienced users, however this may be missed if progressing through the book from the beginning.Other than that; if you only buy one PowerCLI book, make it this one.

I don't think you can find any book or website(s) getting even close to the PowerCLI knowledge that is covered in this book. Anybody working with VMware vSphere should be ready to jump into a PowerShell session, load the PowerCLI snapin and automate any repeatable job. It's already so important to simplify the daily administration and create quick and useful reports within minutes.Luc and the other authors, deliver a masterpiece to let you get easy into the simple PowerCLI cmdlets or if you're already experienced, dive deep into the vSphere SDK.No doubt - a must have.

Very good book.I would recommend.Regards Phil Carr
