• PowerCLI script to list cluster name, comments, and host in the Cluster name

  Greetings,

  I need script to the cluster name, comments list Powercli and ESXi Hostnames in the Cluster, and then export to a csv file

  Thank you

  I suppose you want the name of the cluster, host name and comments for all your virtual machines. This information, you can export it to a file .csv as follows:

  Get-VM |
  Select-Object -Property @{N="VM";E={$_.Name}},
  VMHost,
  @{N="Cluster";E={$_.VMHost.Parent.Name}},
  @{N="Guest";E={$_.Guest.OSFullName}} |
  Export-Csv -Path VMInfo.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

• How to identify the name of the cluster to run the createresourcepool script?

  I want to manage the resource in ESX 4.1 Pool.

  And fortunately, I found a script from here, written by William Lam in 28/11/09.

  Lam, Hello, how are you?

  I want to test your code, but I don't know how to use it.

  I mean, I have a machine ESX, alone, with host name datastore1.vlab.iu.hio.no, that should not be called a cluster.

  But if I want to run your script, I should offer you a cluster name. So, what is the name of the cluster here?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you're referring to the createResourcePool.pl script, the documentation provides an example on how to use the vSphere SDK for Perl script.

  ./createResourcepool.pl--serveur reflex.primp - industries.com - username primp - cluster "R & D" - resourcepool rp6

  You will need to provide the name of the vCenter cluster where you want to create the pool of resources, in the example I created a pool of resources called "rp6" to the title of the group 'R & D'.

  If you are just to handle a crowd of ESX (i) autonomous which looks like you are, then you will need some modification of the script to allow you to create a pool of resources directly on the host ESX (i). Attached is a quick tweak to the script existing and all what you need to do is to connect directly to your host and specify the name of the list of resources you want to create. It assumes that there is no existing resource pool and this will be attached to the main world 'resourcePool' which is there by default, but you don't see it.

  Here's the syntax:

  . /RP.pl - Server himalaya.primp - industries.com - username root resourcepool - myRP

  I'm not sure that I understood what you want, but if it is the validation of the parameters in a function, you can do the following 100%.

  (1) to define the type of the parameter

  
  param ([string]$param1, [int]$param2)
  ...
  

  PS will give an error message when the type of the parameters passed is not correct.

  (2) check that the parameter is not empty

  
  param([string]$param1=$(Throw "Parameter missing: -Param1 string"),
            [int]$param2=$(Throw "Parameter missing: -Param2 int"))
  ....
  

  (3) If you need more specific tests on your settings, you must include you this logic in your script.

  Note that the Param statement in PowerShell v2 has been revised and is now a number of additional options.

• Can be combined in the same script Get - VM and Get - view?

  Hello

  I am trying to find a way to combine these two Get - VM and Get - view in the same script.

  Get-Cluster Management | Get - VM | Select Name,@{Name="HardwareVersion; Expression = {$_.} ExtensionData.Config.Version}}

  Script # 2

  Get-Cluster Management | Get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - don't "PoweredOff"} | % {get-view $_.id} | Select Name, @{Name = "ToolsVersion"; {Expression = {$_.config.tools.toolsVersion}}, @{Name = "ToolStatus"; Expression = {$_.} Guest.ToolsVersionStatus}}

  I've always had problems try this out and now, I need to combine them into a single script in figure.

  If you can help me or point me in the right direction would be great.

  Thank you

  Curiosity got the best of me so I came with this. You had more correct, but you need to make a custom object so that the properties you are looking for can all be used simultaneously.

  It does not use the pipeline and uses a foreach loop.

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

  $vms = get-Cluster Management | Get - VM? {$_.powerstate - don't "PoweredOff"}

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $VMID = get-View ($vm.id)

  New-object psobject-property @ {}

  VM = $vm

  HardwareVersion = $vm. ExtensionData.Config.Version

  ToolsVersion = $VMID.config.tools.toolsVersion

  ToolsStatus = $VMID. Guest.ToolsVersionStatus

  } | Select the virtual machine, ToolsVersion, HardwareVersion, ToolsStatus

  }

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

  Or use this option if you like the pipeline with Foreach-Object approach.

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

  Get-Cluster Management | Get - VM? {$_.powerstate - don't "PoweredOff"} | % {

  $VMID = get-View ($_.id)

  New-object psobject-property @ {}

  VM = $_

  HardwareVersion = $_. ExtensionData.Config.Version

  ToolsVersion = $VMID.config.tools.toolsVersion

  ToolsStatus = $VMID. Guest.ToolsVersionStatus

  } | Select the virtual machine, ToolsVersion, HardwareVersion, ToolsStatus

  }

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

  Both methods are correct that I can see. I tried both and both work well. You can easily piple only out to Export-Csv at the end of the select line. I hope this helps.

• Change the PowerCLI Script to use the DRS and DRS storage

  Hello

  I have a PowerCLI script that specifies a host and a data store to create a new virtual machine, which has served us well. Now we have activated the DRS and DRS storage and I wonder what to change in order to take advantage of these features. Are there commands to specify a cluster and the cluster data store and let the DRS to decide the initial investment for a new virtual machine? At the moment we put all hosts and the warehouses of data as variables and use them in the line below.

  Thank you.

  $newVM = New-VM-name $NewVMname - VM $TemplateName Datastore - $datastore - VMHost $vHost - confirm: $false - location $myName

  You set a Datastorecluster?

  If Yes, then you can replace the value of parameter data with the datastorecluster object store.

  Replacing a VMHost with a cluster is not taken in charge I'm afraid.

  But you can use something like this

  New-VM-name TestVM Datastore - DSC - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster-name mycluster |) Get - Resourcepool - name of resources)

  This will automatically select the VMHost.

  The virtual machine appears in the root of the cluster.

  DSC is the name of a datastorecluster in the cluster mycluster

• VM list name and the cluster that it flows in a CSV file

  Hello

  I want to have a created CSV file that will conaitn 2 fields: vm_name, vm_custer

  Which means, I want to list the name of the virtual machine and the cluster is running in a CSV file.

  Here is the code I wrote:

  #! / usr/bin/perl - w
  use strict;
  Use Data::Dumper;
  use VMware::VIRuntime;
  My % opts = (data center = > {})
  Type = > "s =",
  help = > 'enter the name of the data center. "
  required = > 1,
  });
  OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);
  OPTS::parse();
  OPTS::Validate();
  Util::connect;
  "open (my $FH, ' > ', 'final.csv') or die" cannot opne final.csv: $! » ;
  print $FH 'VM_Cluster, VM_Name, \n ";
  my $dc = Opts::get_option ("data center");
  My $dc_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = > 'Data center',)
  filter = > {name = > $dc});
  My $clu_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > "ComputeResource")
  begin_entity = > $dc_view);
  my $cluster foreach (@$clu_views)
  {
  My $clu_name = $cluster-> name;
  my $hosts = $cluster-> host;
  foreach (@$hosts)
  {
  My $host_hash_ref = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_);
  My $vm_view = $host_hash_ref-> virtual machine;
  foreach (@$vm_view)
  {
  My $vm_hash_ref = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_);
  My $vm_name = $vm_hash_ref-> name;
  $FH print $clu_name. ", ".  $vm_name. », «. "\n" unless $clu_name = ~ m/0bld0 /; "
  }
  }
  }
  Close ($FH);
  Util::disconnect;

  Now, I get the CSV file created as I wanted to, but the question is, there are 3500 + VMs in vCenter and this script side took 50 minutes to complete. It is therefore a huge performance impact. Also, I don't like the concept of 3 layers netsted foreach loops.

  Therefore, there is an effective way to get this information?

  Thank you.

  Your welcome.  It could be made faster, but the complexity of the additional code is probably not worth if the runtime you have now is enough.  No doubt, you can add additional data to your report without too slow.

  You can also find the script works faster or slower depending on what is happening in your virtual center system.

  Thanks for the update on the success!

• Migration of VMs to other hosts in the cluster

  Hello

  I am looking for a simple script to move virtual machines on a host and move them to various other hosts in the same cluster

  I found this

  $sourcehostname = (get-VMHost 'esx01') .name

  $clusterhosts = get-Cluster "Group 1" | Get-VMHost |
  Where-Object {$_ .name-notlike '$sourcehostname'}

  $vms = get-VMHost $sourcehostname | Get - VM

  I understand gets all the virtual machines on the host and prepares to be moved inside other hosts in the specified Cluster

  I just need a hand with the Move-VM part, I need to move more than one virtual computer at once, I don't know if I need runassync inside

  Yes, vMotion VMs at the same time, you will have beed to use the parameter of the Move-VM cmdlet RunAsync.

  Note that there is a limit on the number of parallel vMotions imposed by the characteristics of your vSphere environment.

  But it's nothing to worry about in a script, vSphere will make the queue and activate for you.

  You could do something like that

  $clusterName = 'Cluster1' $srcEsxName = 'esx01' Get-VMHost -Name $srcEsxName | Get-VM | %{
    $tgtesx = Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName | Get-VMHost |    where {$_.Name -ne $srcEsxName} | Get-Random  Move-VM -VM $_ -Destination $tgtesx -RunAsync}
  

  The script runs through all the VMs on the node 'esx01.

  He selects at random one of the remaining ESXi hosts in the cluster, then vMotions the virtual machines in asynchronous mode to their new ESXi host.

  BTW if you have active DRS in that group with Automatated mode, you could just place ESXi node "esx01" in maintenance.

  DRS will migrate then all virtual machines on that node to other nodes.

  Get-VMHost -Name $srcEsxName | Set-VMHost -State Maintenance -Evacuate
