CLI - Change # of vcpus and topology of all VMs on a host

[Rick Culler]

Is there a way to change the vcpus and topology of a bunch of VMs on a host through the command line?

 

I've got a few hosts with upwards of 100 VMs each, and I need to change the # of vcpus and the topology of each VM, and I'd rather not have to click through one at a time, or specify the UUID for each VM manually.

 

Is this something that would need to be scripted to maybe dump each UUID into an array? or is there a way built in to change these specs for all guests, or even specify a range of guests?

 

Thanks,

Rick

You'd nee to script it. There are not any wildcard or similar features in a single xe command. A basic bash, perl or python script can handle that pretty easily.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping there would be something built in to do this, but had a feeling I might need to go down this road.

Yup, sorry! It's less than a dozen lines of code, though, at least!
