Thread does not create multiple VMs (session issue)

问题

Data is taken from *.CSV file. Script should create in my test case 2 VM on the same vcenter but in different thread. Need guidance how to solve this.

Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core | Out-Null 

#import VM settings
$VMs = Import-CSV '...\Data.csv' -UseCulture

#array for connections
$server = @()
#threads
$Throttle = 2

# Create session state
$sessionState = [System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState]::CreateDefault()

# Create runspace pool consisting of runspaces
$RunspacePool = [RunspaceFactory]::CreateRunspacePool(1, $Throttle, $sessionState, $Host)
$RunspacePool.Open()

#array for jobs
$Jobs = @()
$global:DefaultVIServer

    Param ($VM, $ses)

{
    $count  = $count + 1

    Write-Host  $VM.vs_xstream__vc_host

    Write-Host "Current connections:"
    $Global:DefaultVIServers.count

    $ses = Connect-VIServer $VM.vs_xstream__vc_host  -User $VM.vs_xstream__vc_admin -Password $VM.vs_xstream__vc_password -wa 0

    $Job = [powershell]::create()
    $Job.RunspacePool = $RunspacePool
    $Job.AddScript($ScriptBlocky).AddParameter("VM", $VM).AddParameter("ses", $ses)

    Write-Host "Adding job to jobs list"
    $Jobs += New-Object PSObject -Property @{
        RunNum = $count
        Job = $Job
        Result = $Job.BeginInvoke()
        }

     #Disconnect-VIServer $VM.vs_xstream__vc_host -Confirm:$false -Force

..............

As result shows because virtual38 was first in line it has session information and can perform actions.

maybe i am wrong about this I think session isssue is preventing to create second VM (virtual39 )

Update/notice: I realized that when threads $Throttle = 1 then both VM is created, when I set $Throttle = 2 or more then only one of them (first one) is created.

Any suggestions?

Believe me or not but I found what was wrong. Script is working, but when connecting to new session or existing one (or even different vCenter, when is need to create VM in more then one vCenter environment) DefaultVIServers variable is modified and session drops.

Solution: * Create all connection to vCenter's before all other actions so connection would be stable. for example:

# Iterate and connect to all vCenters so connections to them will be stable and read only
ForEach($VM in $VMs)
{
   If ($VM.Use -eq 1) 
   {   
      If($server.Contains($VM.vs_xstream__vc_host) -eq $FALSE)
      {   
        $server += $VM.vs_xstream__vc_host
        $AllSessions += Connect-VIServer $VM.vs_xstream__vc_host -User $VM.vs_xstream__vc_admin -Password $VM.vs_xstream__vc_password -NotDefault
        Write-Host "Connected to:  " $VM.vs_xstream__vc_host
      }
   }
}

After all work is done i simply disconnect from all sessions

# Disconnect all created sessions
ForEach($item in $server)
{
   Write-Host ("Disconnecting from {0}...." -f ($item))
   Disconnect-VIServer $item  -Confirm:$false
}

Now script works perfectly and creates VM in different or the same vCenter. if anyone will experience any problems with it let me know.
