Adding script list NFS exports on all servers VMWare VI?

Does anyone have an easy solution?  Is it possible to add an NFS export to a host rather than add to each host manually that the storage list, or am I condemned to do individually?  Thanks in advance for your comments!

Doom? You're never condemn, all that you can do repetitively means there is always a way to automate, maybe not enough, but there is usually a way

Anywho, enough of that. You have a few options depending on where you want to automate or kickoff of this process. If you're talking about Windows you can use VI Perl Toolkit/RCLI for Windows or same Powershell (for Powershell it is a forum and I'm sure you can get your answer it)

If you're looking to start this off saying each host ESX 3.5, you can use esxcfg-Sin or vmware-vim-cmd to automate this process:

esxcfg-nas: you can simply run the command and you will get a list of options. You can wrap this in a quick shell script and SSH to each host to mount your NFS data warehouses.

vmware-vim-cmd:

vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/datastore/nas_create [DISPLAY_NAME] [NFS_SERVER_IP] [MOUNT_PATH] [MODE(readwrite=1/readonly=0)]

(e.g.)
vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/datastore/nas_create MY_NFS_DATASTORE 172.30.0.254 /nfs/mount/point 1

If you are looking to do this remotely, you can watch an appliance for VMware called VIMA management

You can use the VI Perl Toolkit or the RCLI, which provides utilities distance similar to that of the standard controls found on the Console of the ESX Service in the form of (vicfg -esxcfg -)

You have a lot to choose from and that you want to run it and what environment you feel comfortable, here are your options.

Good luck

    $report += $info

    }

    Thank you.

    You can use the attributes RemoteHost and RemotePath of the data store to get the path in any format you want.

    e.g. $info. NFSPath = "$($_.)". RemoteHost) :/ $($_.) RemotePath).

  • the export of all segments of a sequence in the form of different files in one click

    Hello!

    I need to export all segments of a sequence in the form of different files in one click.

    Here's what I want to accomplish more in detail:

    I have a sequence with a single video file in it. First, the sequence is cut to pieces by a Publisher. Then, each piece is a manually assigned name. We can assume that no transition or any kind of effects are applied to the segments.

    And I want to run a script (or plug-in) and all segments of the export as separate files in the directory specified with the given names.

    I checked the forum and found that something similar has already been discussed, but the solution went to private messages:

    -export based on entry/exit points in the timeline using scripts

    Could someone provide some references or the steps to solve the problem?

    Or if we can share a code example or sample, it would be really cool!

    More precisely:

    Do I have to use scripts or SDK to accomplish the task?

    How to retrieve all the segments of a sequence with in and out frames?

    I can make them in order?

    Can I specify a preset to use for rendering?

  • Collect errors on NFS export

    Greetings AE community,

    I've been running into errors while trying to run project collects when my source media is mounted NFS export. There is no such thing as errors of AE on the collection, saying that a movie file (which seems to be random). If I navigate to the directory, the movie file is there. If I run the collection once again, I'll receive another error... sometimes claiming a different movie file cannot be found. Video files are generally 1080HD ProRes files 422HQ. I'm running the last CC and past Mavericks on a Mac Pro in 2013.

    I think it has something to do with the file system and how AE interacts with OSX and OSX discount NFS Monte. Has anyone experience similar advice or possible?

    Thank you

    -Steve

    I think remember me a few people with questions about the Mavericks with file collection. Until they released the update that fixes some problems of version 13 (in a month or two), it wouldn't hurt to file a bug report: Adobe - feature request/Bug Report Form I hope your problem is one that has been set.

    In one of the other threads on this forum where the problems of file collection are produced (AE CC: will collect no longer files), someone said that their problems only occurred if the mouse is moved during the process of collection of files. They said

    So, we had this question in our studio and one of our designers understood why this is happening. I tested it several times, and it seems to be the issue.

    When you collect your files, DO NOT MOVE THE MOUSE. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it works every time. Just press enter on the keyboard, and not far away. All should be well.

    So, try also.

  • How adding script. VMX to store data (NFS) to the virtual Center

    Hi guys,.

    I hope that someone much better understand the scripting languages I know a simple way to do this?

    Basically, here's the scenario...

    We use data warehouses NFS running on Netapp file servers to accommodate all our virtual machines. Normally this works very well, but we had a few incidents recently with the spin that force us to move to our synchronous backups. Basically how it works is that each data store, say for example Datastore1 works normally on Filer1. This data store is regularly "synchronous" on Filer2. This snapmirror is a copy of the data store readonly. If we have a problem with Filer1, it is possible to reconfigure Filer2 to make writable snapmirror backup, effectively allowing us to see the virtual machine.

    Currently, in this case, in order to get the back of the virtual machine, to remove all the vm to Virtual Center inventory, then add the synchronous data store to all guests in Virtual Center, then browse the data store and manually add back all the vm individually by the usual right-click right/add to the inventory on each virtual machine.

    As I say we have recently had a problem and had to call it for the storages of 10 data housing almost 250 vm was therefore, as you can imagine quite a slow intensive task and work!

    What I tried to work, that's how I could this power CLI script? I saw LuCD excellent research Add .vmx script and looks a lot like what I would like to but can't work out how to change it for my purposes.

    What id' ideally like to go would be a script that I can specify an instance of Virtual Center, store data and Cluster as variables (say vcname$ = "ukvir0001", cluster$ = $ 'Datacentre1' and dsname = "datastore1") and then the script read the data store and add no matter what .vmx, it finds in the specified Cluster.

    I read with interest the new feature in PowerCLI4 data store provider and which resembles something that can provide an easy way to do it I can't work out how!

    Any help would be much appreciated as I have the daunting task of having to move back almost 250 vm to Filer1 now that give it has been fixed and do not have the luxury of a maintenance window several hours to do it manually!

    Thank you very much

    Sean.

    After a few PMs between Sean and myself, we arrived with a working version.

    Note that this latest version of the script has been tested in a vSphere against an ESXi v4 server environment.

  • APEX export import ALL

    Dear gurus and teachers,
    those looking to the topic can say oh, "it's very easy. BUTTT! ,

    I exported workspace, applications, images etc. using export of the apex.

    Then imported on another computer by using import apex.

    Application starts and displays error table or view does not exist. Because Exim does nothing for the tables.

    How to export and import tables not only (is the question) BUTTTT everything in my database I need for my Application. Not all things has what database. But what my Application needs. Tables, functions, triggers, sequences etc.

    I don't think it will be ok if I copy the schema. Because Apex has its own schema that keeps configes on applications.

    Any idea?

    I use Oracle 11.1 and Apex 4.1
