Hi All
I am using powercli cloneVM_Task for deploying vms and i have all my nut-bolts ready. I had seen many things around but couldn't find any thing to update custom annotation.
i know we can set Notes via "VirtualMachineConfigSpec" -> "annotation"..
but my goal is to set custom attributes which are created globally for each object in vCenter.
it is slow if i use "setCustomValue" after VM creation; even if i use "get-view with filter or -Id" instead of 'get-vm'..
I want to club this up in single task.
-----
i want to ask one more thing, why VM Cloning slows down when number of VMs in vCenter grows more thn 1000.
i deployed a new vCnter to compare these result - when i cloned a vm in new vCenter. it was taking 7sec to 13 sec to complete the cloning but in our old vcenter the task is completed in minutes while a vCenter with around 4500 VMs its taking ages to finish. The hardware (server, storage and network) we are using is same everywhere.
