Clone-List #PowerCLI Function

If you’ve been managing a virtual environment for any period of time you’ve probably received this email:

Josh,

Next week we plan to do an upgrade for XXX application and would like a clone of the following servers to kick off the upgrade window.

  • bigapp-db
  • bigapp-web01
  • bigapp-web02
  • bigapp-web03
  • bigapp-file01
  • bigapp-…01
  • bigapp-…09

KThanksBye

I recently got this request for a large application group and decided to write a PowerCLI function that could take that list and make clones dynamically.  This function works for both live and cold clones.

Check out my doc on the VMware community forum and to download the script.

Thanks.  May the -force be with you!
