When I need to add several temp disk into a vm, I had to click many times. So I decided to use PowerCLI to save my time.

 

After I add a vm into the inventory, I run the codes below.

 

============================================================================================

Add-PSSnapin "Vmware.VimAutomation.Core"

$running = Get-Datastore -Server $vi -Name running
$snapshot = Get-Datastore -Server $vi -Name snapshot

New-HardDisk -vm $vm -Persistence IndependentPersistent -CapacityKB 5000000 -StorageFormat Thin -Datastore $running
New-HardDisk -vm $vm -Persistence IndependentPersistent -CapacityKB 5000000 -StorageFormat Thin -Datastore $snapshot
New-HardDisk -vm $vm -Persistence IndependentPersistent -CapacityKB 5000000 -StorageFormat Thin -Datastore $running
New-HardDisk -vm $vm -Persistence IndependentPersistent -CapacityKB 5000000 -StorageFormat Thin -Datastore $snapshot
New-HardDisk -vm $vm -Persistence IndependentPersistent -CapacityKB 5000000 -StorageFormat Thin -Datastore $running
New-HardDisk -vm $vm -Persistence IndependentPersistent -CapacityKB 5000000 -StorageFormat Thin -Datastore $snapshot
New-HardDisk -vm $vm -Persistence IndependentPersistent -CapacityKB 5000000 -StorageFormat Thin -Datastore $running
New-HardDisk -vm $vm -Persistence IndependentPersistent -CapacityKB 5000000 -StorageFormat Thin -Datastore $snapshot

After i run the script, I run the codes next. ( Install PSCX first.)
