Export all VM's config (vCPU, RAM, Disk, VLAN/Switch)

Question

Hi all.

Is it not possible to run a export of all configured VM's?

I'm thinking of how to ensure a backup scenario.
So that an run stat of all VM's could be exported everyday.

This export shall be used to recreate all VM's config at a new hyper-v server.

Answer 1

Hi All

Thank you for some inputs.

We did manage it by building a bit more to this script:

Our needs was about - VM name, vCPU, Ram + min./max., VLAN, VHD disk, settings.

• That finished our needs for this round.

I think we will build it a bit bigger, but it is function for us.

Answer 2
