One of the benefits of computers is that they're supposed to make repetative tasks easier, or automated. Still, in many tasks in our industry, we're still supposed to click over and over in a GUI to do the same tasks, without error. Besides causing the "Post Office Syndrom" (which causes one to "go postal"), this is no way for intelligent human beings to spend their lives. Any chance I get to automate something that needs to be done over and over, I take it. With that in mind, this script improved my life, and I hope it'll improve your life too.
I mentioned this in a previous post, so here it is, the PowerCLI vSphere 5 multiple vm build script. It easily creates multiple VM's with shared storage utilizing a combination of best practices from Oracle, SAP and VMware. I am by no means a PowerCLI guru...if you have improvements for this...let me know. Here are a few I would like to see in the long term:
1. I have a friend that's planning to add the XLS functionality in PowerCLI to this...so that the dba team can give him an Excel spreadsheet with a list of database parameters that this script can read in and replace the parameters in a loop...creating many vm's, one after the other, automated.
2. The number of nodes should be a parameter that feeds the logic in a loop...so if you have a 2 node or 8 node RAC db, the same script can be used.
3. The final section that eager-zeroes the storage works...but for large databases it takes an extremely long time. An alternative method would be to create the vmdk's thin, and then move them to the same datastore as eager zeroed,
similar to what's discussed here. My theory is that this might use VAAI, which could hugely improve the eager zeroing process by offloading it to the SAN.
Also, be aware there is a VSphere client bug that incorrectly reports the backing of the vmdk's and thick lazy zeroed when they're actually thick eager zeroed. If you run the "eager zero" part of the script and it seems to complete in a few seconds, it means you're trying to eager zero something that's already eager zeroed (regardless of what the client reports), which almost amounts to a no-op.
Many sections of this have been patch worked from talented people in the PowerCLI community but I can't tell who the original authors were...I think because different snippets have been added on by different people. Still, I'd really like to give them credit and thank them for making this possible. Technical communities that work together restore my faith in the good of mankind. :)
When I run this, I connect via terminal services to vCenter on vSphere 5, then paste it into PowerCLI on that machine...but there are lots of ways to skin that cat... Hmm...I know my blog gets translated to different languages...I wonder how colloquialisms like that are interpreted in Hindi, Chinese, Peta etc? :)
