1. Install vSphere PowerCLI on your local machine.
1. Connect to your vCenter server using the Connect-VIServer command in PowerCLI.
1. Use the Get-VM command to retrieve a list of virtual machines in your environment.
1. Use the New-HardDisk command to add a new hard disk to a virtual machine.
1. Use the Set-VM command to modify properties of a virtual machine, such as changing the amount of memory or CPU cores.
1. Use the Start-VM command to power on a virtual machine.
1. Use the Stop-VM command to power off a virtual machine.
1. Use the Remove-VM command to delete a virtual machine.
1. Use the Export-VM command to export a virtual machine to a file.
1. Create custom scripts to automate repetitive tasks, such as creating new virtual machines or performing routine maintenance.
By using PowerCLI, you can automate many tasks in vCenter, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
