VMware vSphere Health Check Report v1.0

Lamw has updated his Perl based Health Check Report script (now compatible with vSphere 4.0). This script generates a health check report similar to that of vmwareHealthCheckScript but for the new vSphere release of VMware ESX(i) 4.x and VMware vCenter 4.x and it's managed entities.

Requirements:

ESX - VLAN compare / checker script for PowerShell

First and foremost: all credit goes to Hugo Peeters over at http://www.peetersonline.nl. I just took his script and modified what was useful from a VLAN perspective. The code below will create a HTML page with VLAN inconsistencies. This can be a useful script in a large environment to compare all VLANs/portgroups presented on a per cluster basis. I know we use it ;)

Copy/paste this in PowerGUI script editor and run! Make sure c:\temp exists

BTW: in vSphere we will have host profiles and distributed vSwitches to tackle the “not presented everywhere” problem ;)
