UMN-VMWareRA

Powershell wrappers for interacting with VMWare 6.5+ Rest API

Functions

Get-VMWareRAVMMac This function is used to grab the mac address of a single connected nic. Look at 'GET /vcenter/vm/{vm}/hardware/ethernet' to get more information about all nics associated with a vm

New-VMWareRAVM diskSizeGB will take an array of Integers to build multiple disks. You can still use secondDiskSizeGB and it will work as expected
