Extend VM disk on Citrix Hypervisor using powershell

[Kid Kooijmans1709160840]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to extend to extend a disk of a VM using the Hypervisor 8.2 powershell SDK. I can't seem to find a way.

 

I have set up a connection and read the VM I want to edit the disk of.

 

$VMs = get-xenvm  | where {$_.name_label.StartsWith("VMName")}

foreach($VM in $VMs){

    $VBDrefs = $VM.VBDs
     
    foreach($VBDref in $VBDrefs){
        $VBD = Get-XenVBD -Ref $VBDref
        $VDI = Get-XenVDI -Ref $VBD.VDI
        
        if($VDI.name_label -eq $VM.name_label + " 0"){ 
           
           $VirtualSize = ($GB * 120)
           $VirtualSize

           Set-XenVDI -VDI $VDI .... --> there is no option to set the new size of the disk here
 
           
        }

    }

}

Invoke-XenVDI -Uuid <guid>  -XenAction Resize -Size 80GB

Nice, that did the trick.

I ran "Get-Help -Category Cmdlet -Name Invoke-XenVDI -Examples" but wasn't able to find the "-size 80GB" parameter.

 

Thanks!

Get-Help does not work very well for the CH powershell module because the cmdlets use heavily dynamic parameters. We're planning to work around this issue soon.
