Simple little code snippet that you might find handy to use in vCenter Orchestrator. Â I am working on a workflow that needs to clone a VM and the name should increment by 1 for example, we want to clone appweb1 (but we already have appweb2, 3, 4) so we want the new VM to be appweb5.
Inside a new Scriptable task create an output parameter called newvmname and make it’s source itself. Â Then use this bit ‘o code:
|
1 2 3 4 |
var vms = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm").getAllVMsMatchingRegexp("appweb[0-9]"); for (var i=0; i System.debug("Counting VMs:" + i); } var newvmname = "appweb" + i; |
