This code will pull the list of vlans on your vDS trunk, pull the vlans of each port group on the vDS, then compare the two to find any misconfigurations.
This can help identify if any vDS Trunk is missing vlans (for vDS healthcheck to work right.)
OR
Help find vDS objects that have a vlan configured on the trunk but no port group to use it.
— Ultimately.. this is a Health Check for the vDS Health Check.

So you want to Pin a VM to a host huh?
Maybe for some network mirror or span port entertainment?

Here is how you do it pcli style:

#set your vars:

$thecluster = “pcli-cluster1”
$thevmhost = “esx1.pcli.me”
$thevm = “vm1”
$VMGroupName = “MyVMGroupName”
$HostGroupName = “MyHostGroupName”
$rulename = “MyAffinityRuleName”

#paste the code:

#VMGroup
$cluster = Get-Cluster $thecluster | Get-View
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
$group = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec
$group.operation = “add”
$group.Info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterVmGroup
$group.Info.Name = $VMGroupName
Get-VM -Name $theVM | %{$group.Info.VM += $_.Extensiondata.MoRef}
$spec.GroupSpec += $group
$cluster.ReconfigureComputeResource_Task($spec,$true)
#HostGroup
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
$group = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec
$group.operation = “add”
$group.Info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterHostGroup
$group.Info.Name = $HostGroupName
Get-VMHost -Name $TheVMHost | %{$group.Info.Host += $_.Extensiondata.MoRef}
$spec.GroupSpec += $group
$cluster.ReconfigureComputeResource_Task($spec,$true)
#Make the Rule
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
$rule = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterRuleSpec
$rule.operation = “add”
$rule.info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterVmHostRuleInfo
$rule.info.enabled = $true
$rule.info.name = $RuleName
$rule.info.mandatory = $true
$rule.info.vmGroupName = $VMGroupName
$rule.info.affineHostGroupName = $HostGroupName
$spec.RulesSpec += $rule
$cluster.ReconfigureComputeResource_Task($spec,$true)

I’m sure someone can reduce the code but I left it broken out here to provide the section view.
IE : If you only want to create a Host group, take the middle part of the script.
