A stop of mass in script order

I was asked to describe a method to paralyze all servers (physical and virtual) in our datacenter as fast so that possible, but in a particular order.  In regards to the MV I have stop a lot over the weekend with a script that runs get - vm '< my server name >' | stop-vmguest-confirm: $false against a list of servers 10.  But that was the extent of my PowerCLI script to date.  And never change these virtual machines in this list.

Can someone point me in the right direction on the commissioning of the following maybe

Nightly run a script that will meet the list of all virtual machines in my environment (to capture all newly created or recently deleted VMs) and put all the virtual machines in a CSV file or something in an order based on test in the section notes so that for example all the application of test and development servers are grouped to be arrested front of databases of test/dev servers.

Then have a script just wait, the runtime will begin to close all virtual machines in the most recent CSV in the right order.

The reason for this, if you are interested is that 2 weeks ago we had a power failure so we have no generator.  Our UPS allows the data center to operate for about 30 minutes.  Of course, because these things can never happen at night, at the time that someone was here to start closing things they had only minutes to disable the physical key and virutal machine and they obviously ran out of time.  So now we are looking for a logon and perform a 1 click solution to start stop everything.

We will be having a blackout week next to replace some electrical equipment and would like to have the script ready right here.

Anyone who is willing to give me a hand or point me in the right direction?

Thank you

Hello

Nothing really wrong with the approach, but why bother with CSV if you can do hot?

I guess you something in the notes which indicate that it is (testDB, prodDB, testApp).  You can also do this if you have a Server naming convention that indicates what it is.

    Thank you.

    This sort of thing with a site based on the database is relatively simple, but do not expect to be able to do it from one day to the next. You have a relatively long learning to come.

    Dreamweaver supports three technologies server side: ASP, ColdFusion and PHP. Forget the ASP Microsoft stopped he development 10 years ago. Although it is still widely used, it will eventually die, in front of you with the problem of switching to other server-side technology. ColdFusion and PHP are both powerful, but PHP is by far the most widely used. Note: I'm biased because I write books on Dreamweaver and PHP (for more details, see http://foundationphp.com/dwcs4/).

    To develop with CF, or PHP, you will need to create a development environment. There are instructions for both languages in the Adobe Developer Connection:

    There is also a tutorial on creating your first website focused on the database at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html. In theory, you should be able to follow the tutorial using ColdFusion or PHP, but all of the code in the examples is only PHP.

    Once you have gained experience working with technology on server side of your choice, you might want to watch Cartweaver, a commercial extension that generates carts in Dreamweaver. There are also free shopping cart solutions. OSCommerce is one that many people recommend. It only runs on PHP.

  • Stop Dreamweaver loading of scripts/CSS files included in a page

    Dreamweaver CC 20141 (Mac OS X 10.10, Yosemite) has a big BUG... is not possible build with this large complex/websites.

    If I have a site with a large number of css files (or scripts), Dreamweaver takes too long to load/save a page that included (the wheel turns indefinitely).

    Is it possible to prevent the loading of scripts and CSS files included in a page, while I'm working on it (even temporarily) Dreamweaver?

    I know that without this function (loading external files), Dreamweaver is absolutely useless, but at the moment I found yet another tool of the IDE and I need to work with the speed.

  • Why the printer stop printing when you click Cancel?

    This may belong in the Technet forum, but this is a question that concerns me since the days of Windows 95.

    Sometimes striking impression make you you screwed up in a certain way and to cancel the print job. Enter the printer, right click on the document and hit Cancel usually takes some time, during which the printer keeps printing and waste of ink & paper.
    Why is this? Why doesn't it stop immediately? Why do several PAGES for it to stop? Come to think of it, I can't think of a time casual since I left high school (which uses Mac and Apple printers) when I have not tried to stop a print job to a printer that was not Hewlett-Packard (an HP printer from ""), so I'm not sure if it is exclusive to HP or not. Work used to stop printing almost immediately after order - Macintosh printing, or at least they did with printers ImageWriter and LaswerWriter Mac OS 6.0.8 - 9.1.
    This is not the case with Windows 95 - Windows 7.

    I used to assume it had something to do with the buffer memory of the printer, but a recent incident involving someone accidentally unplugging the computer when the printer was on changed this long assumption based on my experience when I bought a buffer for my printer ImageWriter II return to 1989 or 1990. Printing stopped almost immediately after the computer that it was connected to the lost power (he tried to disconnect a faulty device so that it could be shipped to the manufacturer and pulled the wrong plug).

    This phenomenon embarrassing occurs on several different computers, printers and configurations. School computer laboratories on the areas of small business workgroups to systems of the House with the directly connected printer.

    Hi, SlickRCBD,

    The memory has a lot to do with why this does not block when cancelled.  There may be an older doc who is was filed here.  Unplug the printer from the computer periodically.  Leave that he unplugged for several minutes (5 max), then reconnect.  Remove the cables that connect to the back of the printer for the same amount of time.  This clears the memory.

    Open elevated command prompt

    Go to your windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ folder

    Sometimes the files are hungup.  The above gets rid of them.

  • Analog output using waveform Timing stops in brief

    This is a pretty abstract to describe problem, so I'll try my best.

    I give myself two entrances, a low and a high. Here are the tensions. I create a signal which will be the ramp from low to high and from high to low, forming a pyramid. The signal that I create is perfect. The dt signal.001 because I'm out there at 1000 Hz in an analog channel. I left it to an analog of the ExpressVI using "Waveform Timing" (the little box with a timer on this issue when the information of sampling). The problem is when I change the number of samples with this signal. It seems if I increase the examples of this signal (dt-keeping and frequency of output, thus increasing the LENGTH of the signal), the Express Vi that emits the singal stops and does not address the rest of the signal.

    I can't rip off code to post here because it is not my property. I hope someone has an experience with this and can explain how an Express VI would cease treatment of an intermediate signal of the signal.

    Thank you

    I have corrected this problem.

    If you are using an express VI, the FIRST time you call this VI, all timing information you pass, the VI will be remembered forever and he will never change. I had to replace by the low level screw and stop/clear the task in order to erase this memory.

  • Update of mass to SQLPlus requested change via GPO? or another way?

    Hi people,

    I am asked to do so by the engineer Oracle, but what he doesn't know or remember is that we have 98 self-governments of Primavera P6 installed, that connect to an Oracle 11 G database.

    How is it possible to do it in 98 office via a kind of mass delpoyment script or GPO or any?


    "Hi Arc,

    Yes, it is because the password is to expire due to a configuration of the database. You will be able to connect in P6 administrator if you change the privuser password, but you must update the alias in each computer where the windows p6 client is installed and update password of the privuser with the database configuration application (administer the private database connections option).

    You can refer to the following note of KM for a possible solution to the other question:
    Error: "name of Bad public user or password. "Database Server Error: ORA-28001: the password has expired" connection to basic project management (Doc ID 1377730. )

    If you use pubuser for customer P6 connection then you will not have to do it on all machines. You can try this
    1. set the pubuser password at the level of the database to the same as the previous
    2. change the privuser password using the utility mentioned by Oracle support. It is saved in the database table if you do not have to change this on the individual computer

    Even if you use privuser customer p6, then also you must return to zero at the level of the database and only once using the utility.

    Let me know if it works.
