automating creation of vmkernel portgroups with powercli and csv

This is just a continuation of my previous post. this is again a work in progress. keep a watch on my github page for the most updated version of it. If vTool (github.com/mrambig/vmware) isnt enough for you and your hosts are in series then is what you need to create vmkernel portgroups. Go to github.com/vmware/mrambig for more
