HyperV on localhost

Hello

This isn't my area of expertise, so perhaps one of my colleagues can chime in if there's a better solution.

But, I believe you can access the connection itself via the $RDM.Connection property.

So, you could try assigning `$RDM.Connection.Host` to the IP address of the server, then call `$RDM.Save()`.

Let me know if that helps.

Kind regards,

Hi Richard,

Definitly, I will have to play with Powershell script in 'Before Open' event.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Richard,

I tried the following :

$vmName = "LUMM_ACC"
$vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
$ipAddress = ($vm | Get-VMNetworkAdapter).IPAddresses -join ", "
$firstIpAddress = $ipAddress.Split(',')[0]
$RDM.Connection.Host = $firstIpAddress
$RDM.Save()

I placed in the Before Open event, it works fine once, but when I rebbot, it does notreplace Host addresse anymore...



any idea?

Regards,
Olivier

I tryed also reading this forum :

$RDM.Connection.URL = $firstIpAddress

with no success, it seems it does not update the host IP.
The powershell scrip is execution as if I included a type mistake, I have an error message...

Regards,

Hello

I tried your script exactly as written (using the `Host` property) and it worked perfectly for me.

The result you see is as though the variable $firstIpAddress is an empty string.

When you tried after rebooting, are you sure the machine was booted with an IP address assigned?

Thanks and kind regards,

Hello Richard,

Yes I am sure when the host is rebooting, the VM starts automatically and change its IP address.
When I ran the following code directly in PowerShell

$vmName = "LUMM_ACC"
$vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
$ipAddress = ($vm | Get-VMNetworkAdapter).IPAddresses -join ", "
$firstIpAddress = $ipAddress.Split(',')[0]
$ipAddress

I do not have an empty string in $firstIpAddress, but it seams indead it is blank when I am running the code in the 'Before Open' event, or at least the assignation :

$RDM.Connection.Host = $firstIpAddress

is expecting some " ' ".

Anyway, I solved my issue another way using Devolutions Powershell API and script

$vmName = "LUMM_ACC"
$vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
$ipAddress = ($vm | Get-VMNetworkAdapter).IPAddresses -join ", "
$firstIpAddress =  $ipAddress.Split(',')[0]

$sessions = Get-RDMSession

foreach ($session in $sessions) 

{

	if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($session.Host))

	{

 continue

	}

	$session.MetaInformation.IP = $firstIpAddress
	$session.Host = $firstIpAddress

	Write-Host "Name: $($session.Name) - Host: $($session.Host) - IP Address: $($session.MetaInformation.IP)"

	Set-RDMSession $session

}

Write-Host 'Done!'

Update-RDMUI

I just need now to schedule that script at host startup or RDM startup, and voila!

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,
Oliivier

Hello

I'm not sure why it wasn't working for you, but since you found a good solution I won't follow up with that further.

Please, let us know if you have further questions or feedback!

Kind regards,
