Install VMtools without reboot

Today we are going to upgrade VMtools for virtual machine without reboot.

at the beginning we will do it for one machine and after that we will make a simple loop to upgrade VMtools of bulk of virtual machines

PS C:\> Get-VM VMname

Name                     PowerState     Num CPUs  MemoryGB

----                             ----------      --------           --------

VMname                  PoweredOn   2                   4.000

PS C:\> Get-VM VMname   |  Update-Tools -NoReboot

and now we will do upgrade for VMtools for bulk of VMs

PS C:\> Get-Folder FolderName | Get-VM | Update-Tools -NoReboot

Upgrade Terraform Provider

I am trying now to upgrade the Terraform provider which I am using for my NSX-T

First you have to put the new provider version in your main.tf file 

terraform {

  required_providers {

    nsxt = {

    source  = "vmware/nsxt"

      version = "3.2.5"

    }

  }

}

Second is to execute the below command

 .\terraform init -upgrade

once you execute the above command you will find output like the below output. That means that you upgraded your Terraform provider successfully
