Upload Media to vCloud with PowerCLI

It’s a double post Friday! This one won’t be quite as long.

Have a bunch of ISOs you need to upload to your vCloud Director Catalog? This is the script for you! Once in a while I get a crazy “can you do this” from my friend and Bluelock product development dude, Ben Miller. The detailed reasons why are still very top secret, but I can at least share the code to upload media and add it to the catalog!!!

Enjoy!

$isoFolder = "C:\MyISOs"
$vdcName = "MyVDC"
$catalogName = "MyCatalog"

# create / delete a cloud media object
Get-ChildItem $isoFolder | %{

$media.name = $_.name
$media.ImageType = 'iso'
$media.size = $_.length

$media.Files.file[0].type = 'iso'
$media.Files.file[0].name = $_.name

$vdc = Get-OrgVdc $vdcName
$vdc.ExtensionData.CreateMedia($media)
