Editing VM Configurations with ControlUp

A user asked about using ControlUp to edit virtual machine (VM) configuration items such as NICs and CPUs. The use case would be to optimize VM configuration and report if cores were assigned from multiple sockets, and also repair them. While there isn’t a ControlUp specific script for this, there are pre-existing scripts available, and the user suggested a ‘set CPUs = 1’ parameter should be taken. Goal is to have CPUs match the number of cores, so sockets is 1.

Anyone know if, or has used, ControlUp to edit VM configuration items such as NICs and CPU Cores\Socket? We’d like to report on and correct this so its 1 socket:

do we have a script action for this @member @member?

Use case = optimise VM configuration to report if cores are assigned from multiple sockets? (and repair)

I don’t recall such a script. It would have to be hypervisor-specific.

I’ve got non-CU PowerCLI scripts that do this already so easy enough to do, so need to know what parameters you want it to take and/or "problems" to spot/rectify. I envisage at least 1 parameter which would be something like "action" where the default would be "report". Could even take simple strings "set cpus = 1"

Looking to have CPUs match the number of cores so sockets=1
