Hello,
I need to move away a whole vCD Provider VDC and its OrgVDC's from Fast Provisioning to Full VMs. So I changed all OrgVDC's and tried to consolidate all Linked Clones with my PowerCLI Script:
# Consolidate VMs
$vms = Get-OrgVdc | Get-CIVM | where {$_.ExtensionData.VCloudExtension.any.VirtualDisksMaxChainLength -ge 1} | Get-CIView
$vms_Success = @()
$vms_Failed = @()
Foreach ($vm in $vms) { Write-Output "Processing VM: $($VM.name)" try { $task = $vm.Consolidate_Task() Start-Sleep 1 while ((Get-Task -Id $task.Id).State -ne "Success" ) { Write-Output "$($vm.name) - Percent: $((Get-Task -Id $task.Id).PercentComplete) / State: $((Get-Task -Id $task.Id).State)" Start-Sleep 1 } $vms_Success += $vm } catch { Write-Output " $($vm.name) Failed!" $vms_Failed += $vm }
}
But consolidation via vCD API is ony possible for VMs in State 8 (POWERED_OFF ) and 3 (SUSPENDED). Most of the VMs are in State 4 (POWERED_ON), there is no consolidation possible...
Any workaround or recommendation how to handle that situation?
