Hi,
with PowerCli it is simply possible to generate an direct Link to accessing a VM’s Console without clicking through the whole vSphere Tree.
The anatomy of the URL is
https://%vCenterFQDN%:9443/vsphere-client/vmrc/vmrc.jsp?vm=urn:vmomi:VirtualMachine:%MoRef%:%vCenterUUID%
function fGenerateWebfrontendURL([string]$sVM,[string]$sVCenter)
{
$oVM=Get-VM $sVM -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
$oVCenter=Get-VIServer $sVCenter -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
if($oVM -and $oVCenter)
{
$sURL="https://"+$sVCenterHost+":9443/vsphere-client/vmrc/vmrc.jsp?vm=urn:vmomi:VirtualMachine:"+($oNewVM.ExtensionData.MoRef.Value)+":"+$oVCenter.InstanceUuid.ToUpper()
return $sURL
}
return $null
}
PS D:\> fGenerateWebfrontendURL myVM myVcenter
