I’m trying to script the detection of freespace of dedicated virtual desktops in our VMware View environment. Based on the freespace percentage returned, I’m hoping to resize the disk in vSphere via PowerCLI cmdlets, then within the guest OS itself.
However, the Set-HardDisk cmdlet requires a static value in capacity parameter. I’m trying to use my 7th grade math skills here to simply grow the disk by 5% (I’m not sure if that’s what I’ll end up using yet), but the math doesn’t return correctly.
For example, CONTOSOVDIIMJK1 should resolve to a optimal size of a bigger number, not smaller
Any ideas?
