Ok, so I have been working on scripting from the vMA. I am pretty familiar with what you can and cannot do with it, but this is my first attempt at scripting a complete configuration. One thing I am having an issue with seems like a simple concept, but is stalling. For example, 2 hosts are already added to the vMA. When I try something simple like:
#!/bin/bash
vifptarget -s esx1
esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic1 vSwitch0
vifptarget -s esx2
esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic1 vSwitch0
What happens is that I still get asked for username and password. If I have already vifpassed to esx1 then the command runs (even though i get weird response about not being to find vifptarget), twice on esx1 I might add.
Is there something I don't know that is required when scripting with vifpass? I thought it sounded simple to script with the changing of several hosts.
