So, today I give you a script which permit you to update or configure any linux/vmware redhat/unix server with simple vbscript file. First, you need at least plink.exe and pscp.exe from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ (Alternative Download). Put these files in the same directory than you will put update_esx.vbs file.
But why this script is magic? Because plink and pscp could do it for you really easily, no ? In fact, problem with plink.exe is when you need to automatize your process. Each time you will try to log on a new server, plink will ask you to create ssh host keys. (for security)
With this script you do no need to create plink ssh host keys before running script on your servers. This script do it for you.
Now, you need to create servers.txt file containing all servers you need to update or configure. (1 line = 1 server). For example:
esxserver001
esxserver002
You need also a .sh file which will be executed on esx - linux server (don't forget to use a unix text file with only line feed, and not Windows text file with line feed and carriage return ASCII characters. So do not use notepad to modify files. Use Textpad or other tools that recognize file encoding. )
Below an example to send to your esx. This file ls.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Configure ESX Server
ls
Last thing: root password should be the same on each esx - linux server (else modify my vbscript using a second column in servers.txt like server;rootpassword)
You must also permit root user to log on your esx.
How to use it: run in you windows command line something like
cscript //nologo update_esx.vbs servers.txt file_to_execute.sh your_esx_root_password
If you need to write log, redirect standard output to a file like this:
cscript //nologo update_esx.vbs servers.txt file_to_execute.sh your_esx_root_password > mylog.txt
And now the last but not least, the main tool, update_esx.vbs
