[ovs-dev] [PATCH] WMI Script that updates Hyper-V friendly port names

[Eitan Eliahu]

Hi Alin,
Can you please add a short description of how you see this script is used in the sequence of actions to add or delete a port to the switch?
I assume that the script will set the friendly name of a port even if the port is not connected (yet), is it correct?
Thank you,
Eitan

Hello Nithin,

Yes it works if a VM has multiple network adapters. Invocation is different though. Example for a VM with 2 network adapters:

$vnic = Get-VMNetworkAdapter test_2_1
$vnic[0]
Connect-VMNetworkAdapter -VMNetworkAdapter $vnic[0] -SwitchName external $vnic[0] | Set-VMNetworkAdapterOVSPort -OVSPortName ovs-port-1

Connect-VMNetworkAdapter -VMNetworkAdapter $vnic[1] -SwitchName external $vnic[1] | Set-VMNetworkAdapterOVSPort -OVSPortName ovs-port-2 $vnic[1]

Regards,
Alin.

hi Alin,
Will this code work if the VM has multiple adapters? It is OK if it does not, but I was just curious about it.

I'll give this a shot tomorrow.

thanks,
Nithin
