Thank you everyone for your warm participation in our MEP2012 event. It was great to see the breakout sessions were filled with people. Due to keynote overrun, we went through things rather quickly.

As promised, I am posting all PowerShell Scripts during my session here. Do change the scripts parameters that is specific to your environment

To enable Resource Metering for all VMs within a host:

Get-VM -ComputerName <hostname> | Enable-VMResourceMetering

To enable Resource Metering for a specific VM:

Enable-VMResourceMetering –VMName <VMName>

To get resource utilization on all VMs within a Host

Get-VM -ComputerName <hostname> | Measure-VM

To get resource utilization on specific VM

Measure-VM –VMName <VMName>

To set bandwidth on each VM

Set-VMNetworkAdapter -VMName <VMName> -MaximumBandwidth 5000

During the Demo, I also showed a script to get VM cost. Here is the script

# Get-VMCost Script Function

function Calculate-VMCost($VMName)
{

    $BaseCost = 50

    $MemoryCostPerGB = 20
    $ProcessorCostPerGHz = 30
    $IncomingNetworkCostPerGB = 10
    $OutgoingNetworkCostPerGB = 30

    $ChargebackData = Measure-VM $VMName

 Get-VM $VMName | Reset-VMResourceMetering

 $VMCost = $BaseCost
 $VMCost += $ChargebackData.AverageMemoryUsage * $MemoryCostPerGB / 1024
 $VMCost += $ChargebackData.AverageProcessorUsage * $ProcessorCostPerGHz / 1024

 $IncomingExternalTraffic = $data.NetworkMeteredTrafficReport | ? { ($_.Direction -eq “Inbound” ) -and  ($_.RemoteAddress -eq “*.*”)}
 $OutgoingExternalTraffic = $data.NetworkMeteredTrafficReport | ? { ($_.Direction -eq “Outbound” ) -and  ($_.RemoteAddress -eq “*.*”)}

 $VMCost += $IncomingExternalTraffic.TotalTraffic * $IncomingNetworkCostPerGB / 1024
 $VMCost += $OutgoingExternalTraffic.TotalTraffic * $OutgoingNetworkCostPerGB / 1024

 $VMCost
}

# Calculate VM Cost

Calculate-VMCost <VMName>
