• Adding a node to an existing cluster

  Hello

  Our project is using Livecycle ES2.5 Patch1 on top of Weblogic.

  Due to some conflicts of locking, to add several servers (such as an urgent solution) cause, we can solve the problem if not soon.

  Then add the new node to a cluster of existing (Weblogic) is a pure Weblogic operations or we do something else on the side of Livecycle?

  Thank you very much!

• How to add the virtual copy to an existing collection

  Hello

  I use LR 5.7.x in Win7 environment.

  I have an existing collection within a collection set. I would like to add a virtual copy of an image to this collection. Is there a way to do this in one step?

  If I select the image and press B, he puts a - not a virtual copy - copy into the target. The only way I see to do this is to first make the virtual copy, copy it to the target collection and finally remove the copy virtual from the original location.

  Best regards

  Scott

  Hi scott_o,

  To add a virtual copy to a collection, you must create a virtual copy. When it is created, set the collection (to which you want to import pictures or virtual copies to) as target collection.

  Once this is done, you must select the image or the virtual copy, then press B to add to the target collection.

  Note: Add collection does not all copies of the image file.

  In addition, if you remove the virtual copy in the catalog, it will be removed from the collection as well.

  Let me know if it helps.

• Add a virtual disk to an existing virtual machine.

  Hello

  Anyone know what would be the best way to create an action to add a new virtual disk (hard) to an existing virtual computer? I have found no existing action/workflow, and I do not know where to start.

  Thank you

  Hey Mikael,.

  There is a "workflow" for this!

  Library / vCenter / Virtual Machine Management / management of devices / add a disk.

  This workflow, you can add a VMDK to a virtual machine.

• Script to add the virtual computer to the inventory of different data warehouses

  I need a script that will go through all available databases and add the virtual machine inside of them in inventory.

  
  

  I know how to do this with:

  New-VM - VMFilePath ' [DATASTORE] vmfolder/vmname.vmx "-VMHost (Get-Cluster"NOMCLUSTER"|) Get-VMHost | Get - Random) - place (Get-folder folder_name) - RunAsync

  But we have hundreds of data stores and thousands of virtual machines. I suck at writing scripts in a loop, but it looks like that's what I need. I tried using wildcards for the VMFilePath - but it does not work. Must be another way.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Oh, I fixed it. I had a host that was plundered with partial connectivity to storage. The script was repeatedly tries to connect to this host jacked up.

  I managed to work around the problem by changing "Get-VMHost | Select - first 1 "to" Get-VMHost | Get-Random.

  Works fine now... as do all things Luke and Lam

• Sort of put the virtual device node / drive SCSI ID?

  Is it possible to define, through PowerCLI, the virtual device node / SCSI disk ID of a VM hard drive to the specific address?  We need to pin a high specific controllers virtual machine disks and disk IDs to ensure the consistency of multiple deployments.  Bring on the specific controller was easy, but I was not able to find a way to set the ID of the disk.

  Thank you!

  Hello, stromcooper-

  You can use the method ReconfigVM() to a VirtualMachine object to change this.  It is the property UnitNumber to the VirtualDisk and you create some context objects to make the change, such as:

  ## the VM on which to change a disk's SCSI ID$strVMToUpdate = "someVM"## get the VM$vmToUpdate = Get-VM $strVMToUpdate## get the hard disk to change; assumes it is called "Hard disk 2" here$hdskToChange = Get-HardDisk -VM $vmToUpdate -Name "Hard disk 2"
  
  ## create a new VirtualMachineConfigSpec, with which to make the change to the VM's disk$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec## create a new VirtualDeviceConfigSpec$spec.deviceChange = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec$spec.deviceChange[0].operation = "edit"## populate the "device" property with the existing info from the hard disk to change$spec.deviceChange[0].device = $hdskToChange.ExtensionData## then, change the second part of the SCSI ID (the UnitNumber)$spec.deviceChange[0].device.unitNumber = 8## reconfig the VM with the updated ConfigSpec (VM must be powered off)$vmToUpdate.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)
  

  The line where it is implemented. .unitNumber to '8' is where you would put your ID desired.  This piece of code maintains the VirtualDisk on the same SCSI controller on which it is already located.  Note: the virtual computer must be turned off for the task to reconfigure.

  How does do for you?

• Unable to add the virtual machine to inventory

  Hi assane, is vmware-cmd same available on ESXi 5.0 and later versions?

  To the OP:

  If you use 5.0 or later ESXi, vmware-cmd will not work. Alternatively, you can use:

  Vim - cmd solo/registervm /vmfs/volumes/datastore_name/VM_directory/VM_name.vmx

  That said, it could be several reasons of failure regarding the registration of the VM. Can put you up a screenshot of the error / symptom you see when it breaks down?

• Blocking task - add a virtual machine to VAPP

  Which block task will begin when I add a virtual machine to a Palsy of a catlog. The "add, move or delete virtual machines of VAPP" seems to send a job blocking, but the xml of the blocking task does not include the vcloud:vm, only the vcloud:vapp

  I want to send a notification when the new VM is complete provisioning and include details on the new virtual machine.

  If you duplicated one of the workflow approval of all notifications, try to paste the following in the Get scaffolding Scriptable this workflow task... He will certainly need a cleaning according to your needs. It is a part of my test code for extraction of information of this type of operation...

  var vcdHost = vApp.getHost();

  if (userDeployedVmQuota == 0) userDeployedVmQuota = "Unlimited";
  var userStoredVmQuota = user.storedVmQuota;
  if (userStoredVmQuota == 0) userStoredVmQuota = "Unlimited";
  var userRole = vcdHost.getEntityByReference(VclEntityType.ROLE, user.role).name;
  
  System.sleep(5000);
  
  if (blockingTask != null) {
      var task = vcdHost.getEntityByReference(VclEntityType.TASK, blockingTask.getTask());
      task.updateInternalState();

      // This workflow requires a single input - a string containing the XML to be processed.
      // It generates the following outputs:
      // operationType - this is a string that is either "create" "delete" or "move"
      // the other output is a Array/Properties object with the following possible properties:
