The WordPress plugin I use (courtesy of Alex Bond) had a Powershell plugin but no PowerCLI. Time to create! I&#8217;m by no means the first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the last few weeks we&#8217;ve been struggling with our vSphere5 upgrade. What I assumed would be a simple VUM orchestrated upgrade turned into a major pain, but I guess that&#8217;s why they say &#8216;never assume&#8217;! Summary: there&#8217;s a bug in the upgrade process whereby NFS mounts are lost during the upgrade from vSphere4 to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE FEB 2012 &#8211; After some further testing I&#8217;ve concluded that this is a bigger pain than I previously thought. The v5 cmdlets aren&#8217;t backwards compatible and the v4 cmdlets aren&#8217;t forward compatible. This means that while you&#8217;re running a mixed environment with VMs on v4/v5 VMtools a single script can&#8217;t run against them all. [...]]]></description>
