Need a script to create a shell VM as per RV tools report list of servers

Hi Everyone,

I need to a create a dummy VM without OS but I would need to create this dummy VM referring to another VM in another vcenter. All this effort is just not to see .copy extension which gets added when we use RP4VM appliance to protect a VM from one vcenter to another vcenter.

So if I create a shell VM matching same specs which I want to replicate from one venter to another it would avoid adding .copy extension during cutover from RP4VM appliance.

Hi @manjuba,

While I don't have a script to provide per se, it should be pretty straightforward to accomplish by using the PowerCLI command New-VM which can get the values from Get-VM against the prod VM. Now, if you want to take it a step further, you can automate RPVM's protection by using the use case examples I've developed here:

https://developer.dell.com/apis/5878/versions/5.3.2/docs/Tasks/Use-cases/3.ProtectVM.md

And/or my GH repo which has some protection scripts:

Hope that helps,
