I am testing to make a powershell script to create a VM.
I want the user to enter the size of disk with read-host command, and then the script creates the disk with the variable.
but i have got an issue.
I do not have this problem with the size of ram.
I have tried many solutions but it does not work.
I do not know if it is a bug or if my knowledge of powershell is too bad.
thanks for help.
here is my beginner script
`#dossier de travail
fichiers iso debian
fichier preseed original
script preseed creator
Write-Output "Vérification de la présence du module vmxtoolkit"
if (get-module -Name vmxtoolkit) {
Write-Output "module existe"}
else {Write-Output "module n'existe pas"
install-module vmxtoolkit -confirm :$false -force
Set-executionpolicy -executionpolicy Remotesigned -Scope Currentuser
import-module vmxtoolkit -force
}
$cpu=Read-Host "nombre de cpu désiré ?"
[int]$mem=Read-Host "quantité de mémoire désirée en Go ?"
[int]$mem=$mem*1024
$disk = Read-Host "Taille du disque en Go ?"
$vmname = Read-Host "nom de la VM ?"
$diskname=$vmname + ".vmdk"
