• Get use of the resources of all virtual machines in a cluster

  Hello

  I have developed a measure of capacity management report that collects all the use of the resources of the virtual machines in a datacenter. The function that collects it looks like this:

  def hostMemoryConsumed =]

  def memoryConsumed = 0.0f

  def memoryGranted = 0.0f

  VMs. each() {}

  VM->

  try {}

  memoryConsumed += vm.host.memory.consumed.current.average / 1024.0f<----- how="" to="" do="" this="" to="" get="" from="">

  memoryGranted += vm.host.memory.capacity.current.average / 1024.0f

  }

  {} catch (NullPointerException e)

  }

  VMS is a function of type parameter VMS VMW

  The works above for virtual machines in the data center, but I need it to be after cluster. I can find a cluster of virtual machines, but I'm having trouble with referring to specific values for example consumed memory and capacity.

  If I change the type parameter: VMW Cluster how the metric reference would look like (see the try {})?

  I don't think that a query will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  If you want to do for a cluster, you can just get the list of virtual machines in a cluster of first and passing in your script.  If you have a function for a VMWCluster you can add a parameter for "vmwCluster" that is underneath and it should give you a table (topologyObjects) that has all the virtual machines in the cluster.

  QS = server.get ("QueryService") / / query Service

  tquery = qs.createStatement("!) (' VMWVirtualMachine where esxServer.parent.name = "+" ' "+ vmwCluster +" "" ") .setQueryTopologyObjects (true);

  topologyObjects = qs.executeStatement (tquery) .getTopologyObjects)

• Is no vmdk file, but the script says, all virtual machines backed up Ok!

  Hello everyone;

  Please excuse any lack of details because this is the first time that I write. I've scoured internet for days now trying to find no matter how much detail that could help me solve the problem. I'm new in the world of script ESXi and ghettoVCB.

  My intention is to run several tasks on a schedule. Each type of backup (quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily and multiple) runs at a specific time. The planning section works very well.

  I'm hoping to solve this urgent backup, I should be able to solve reboot.

  Here is the command I use:

  /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB.sh w /tmp/ghettoVCB-work.multiple f/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmlist-Multiple g/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmconfig-DataSet1-multiple-l /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB_logs/ghettoVCB.Multiple_Backup.log

  vmconfig-DataSet1-multiple contains:

  # Multiple backups - rotation County 6

  #

  VM_BACKUP_VOLUME = / vmfs/volumes/Vault2-DataSet1/URANUS/Multiple

  DISK_BACKUP_FORMAT = thin

  VM_BACKUP_ROTATION_COUNT = 6

  POWER_VM_DOWN_BEFORE_BACKUP = 0

  ENABLE_HARD_POWER_OFF = 0

  ITER_TO_WAIT_SHUTDOWN = 4

  POWER_DOWN_TIMEOUT = 5

  SNAPSHOT_TIMEOUT = 15

  ENABLE_COMPRESSION = 0

  VM_SNAPSHOT_MEMORY = 0

  VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE = 0

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP =

  Vmlist-multiple contains 1 server is listed:

  # List all virtual machines that are backed up several times a day

  HEAT

  The log indicates that the backup was successful - but it has not been the case. Backup size should be approximately 8 GB. However, when you look at the output folder, only the following files are here:

  
  

  HEAT.vmx

  STATUS.ok

  Question is now - where are the vmdk files that should be present?

  Output (-d debug) can be found here: http://pastebin.com/hMGphTL3

  So, here is what I observed:

  When you run the script, the snapshot only takes a few seconds to create and delete then. I'm seeing happens on the list of the tasks of vSphere Rencent (screenshot attached).

  If I create a snapshot manually - it will take much more time to create and delete a snapshot. The difference here is 6 minutes, and 4 seconds using the script create a snapshot manually.

  So my presumption is that he is not actually create the snapshot, although vSphere said it is being created. So why is it the case?

  Help, please.

  ADDENDUM:

  If I run the following:

  ./ghettoVCB.sh m HEAT

  The backup is successful.

  Your said he clearly did not config file to back up all files hard.

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP =

  I expect to see something like this if you want all the hard files

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP = "all".

• The list of all virtual machines with more than 2 virtual disks

  Hello.

  I want to list all virtual machines in a data center vCenter, who got more than 2 virtual disks. Here's the workflow, I am working on that:

  1 get the view of data center

  2. get the Cluster Data Center view like the 'begine_entity '.

  3. for each view cluster overview the VirtualMachine bit cluster seen as 'begin_entity '.

  4. for each VM view, this information: VirtualMachine-> config-> hardware-> device of

  Above information is a table.

  I need help in order to extract information from this table disk, then run an if condition where the VM who got more than 2 discs should print.

  Could help you. I wrote the script to the point 4. just need advice for the posterior.

  Thank you.

  You can try one of the following values-

  1 If ($vm-> {'summary.config.numVirtualDisks'} > 2) {...}

  2 $diskCnt = grep {$_-> isa ('VirtualDisk')} @{$vm-> {'config.hardware.device'}};

  The above assumes that you've got your $vm with a filter property as follows:

  $vms = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine'), the properties-online ['summary.config.numVirtualDisks', 'name', 'config.hardware.device'];

  my $vm foreach (@{$vms}) {}

  ...

  }

• Average throughput of the network to a virtual machine with PowerCLI

  I would get average network throughput for a virtual machine with PowerCLI including all e-cards, the virtual machine has for the last week (not including NFS or storage of traffic-related).

  How best should add this report:

  Get - vm myvm | Select name, numcpu

  Thank you!

  Try like this

  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="Avg Network Throughput MBPs";E={    [math]::Round((Get-Stat -Entity $_ -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) -Stat "net.throughput.usage.average" |    where {$_.Instance -eq ""} |    Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average)/1KB,2)}}
  

  The script takes the aggregate value for all NICs for (the one where the Instance is an empty string).

  Then we take the average and converts the Kbps, Mbps.

• How can access us the Client on a virtual machine on the host ESXi VI?

  Good afternoon, we are evaluating a virtualization solution, our company is small and we want only 3 servers to virtualize, and we want to use one of the virtual machines on the ESXi host, using the Client of VI, so we can use the keyboard and the screen of this server to access virtual machines. Our idea is to use this virtual machine as a workstation.

  Is this possible? or we use VMware server?

  Kind regards

  Cristian Fernández

  It is really not possible. Since the physical ESXi console, you will see only the menus and COS screens.

• The list of all virtual machines to a host group in Virtual Machine port group

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I would like to create a powershell script to list all my virtual machines to a host, but a group of Machine virtual PortGroup... It is possible...? I see only found Internet see the VirtualPortGroup of the host...

  Thanks in advance & looks

  All your VMS have a mapping single portgroup or it not with multiple NICs on different port groups?

  If they are all the same, then the following should work:

  Get-VM | Select Host, Name, @{N="PortGroup";E={$_.NetworkAdapters[0].NetworkName}} | Sort PortGroup, Name, Host

• The list of all virtual machines in a Datacenter

  Hello

  I have several data centers in the vCetner and I want to list virtual machines in a perticular Datacenter. Here is the script I wrote. Apologies, I am an amateur and my script is a mess;

  There is a somewhat easier way that browsing the inventory tree.

• The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

  OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

  I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

  After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

  Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

  Nothing else was changed.

  I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.

  Error again.

  I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.

  Error again.

  I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d.   117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.

  You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.

  Try reinstalling VMware Server.

  End of the error message.

  I found several posts other people have this problem but

• How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

  Problem:  After I do a backup one using ghettoVCB on a local VMFS volume, I have a virtual machine that I can start something happened to that running.  However, sometimes I just need a file from the OS level, which means that I would need to start to get them, but then I have an IP address conflict.  I can't imagine a way to have the NICs turned off and still be able to move the file.  If I change the IP addresses, the software that I need to create the file that I need to transfer no longer works because, although there no need of constant connectivity to the seller, it is locked to the public IP address.

  Material:  I have two 4 ESXi hosts to work, each with local VMFS volumes.  They share a private vlan common and a vlan common public.  They each ssh, ftp, wput, wget, and rsync available.  I have a Windows 2003 Server VM which also hosts a NFS and the VI client and other VMWare tools.  It also has private and public interfaces as do virtual machines that would be to make and receive the OS files.

  Question:  How can I transfer a file from the operating system to a backup of the production running VM virtual machine?

  Thank you!

  Yes Mr President, make sure you set the network on this virtual machine to be connected to the 'Internal' vswitch, you set up before turning the power on to the virtual machine.

• Performance of the queries of multiple virtual machines in a single call

  Hi all

  I'm a little rusty on what I used to do that, but that was almost a year ago...

  I'm trying to retrieve the performance data for several virtual machines.

  For now, I have this in serial mode, i.e. running QueryPerf on each virtual machine.

  The problem is that I have about 800 of them connected to one of my VC. Needless to say, this take a LOT of time to review all of the VM.

  Y at - it sort of method that will allow me to provide a picture of VM and application (performance counters) on all virtual machines, I guess that this will be faster than going and one by one.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  QueryPerf method accepts an array of data object PerfQuerySpec. Here, each PerfQuerySpec object points to a managed entity for which the statistics are to recover.

  So in your scenario, before calling queryPerf, you can create PerfQuerySpec for each virtual machine, assign to each of them in PerfQuerySpec table. You can then pass this [of PerfQuerySpec] the call of queryPerf to retrieve statistics for all virtual machines.

  Hope that the information above solves your query.

• vSwitch ESXi 5.1 workaround to virtual machines (direct access to the network)

  Hello world!

  I have a server running properly the 5.1 ESXi hypervisor and got inside the physical grid active router with DHCP. How can I configure the vSwitch on ESXi 5.1 work not managed on the network, without VLAN and have direct access to the network?

  Just to clarify, I would like to first of all virtual machines VMware Workstation works - if it is possible to run several virtual machines and define all NICS (Network Interface Card) as connected by a bridge, that is to say. Each VM gets the specific configurations of IP to the external router.

  Since now, thank you very much for the help!

  Best regards

  With ESXi the vSwitches work comparable to Bridged networking, so there is really nothing special to do.
