Powershell - How to detect bad state VMs in a Hyper-V cluster?
[notranslate]
integration components are a good indicator of the health of a VM as it can tell us OS and services are properly started. it does not replace OS/application but can give you a quick clue about the health state of your VMs. Here I used the heartbeat IC to verify VM state from a Hyper-V perspective further we created a daily report which is sent to our team with a summary for each cluster like. as the report is been generated based on HTML we can also add some formatting to highlight failed VMs a.e. in red
# #Creator: ramacan #Last Modified: 06/11/14 # # - Quick & Dirty detection of VMs heartbeat state # - can run from any machine which has failovercluster powershell commandlet installed # - check only for VMs with state running (bug with saved state VMs) #V1.0 - better output view
