advice of script for a beginner please

I am a beginner, trying to enter VMware (winding maze lost in corridors...)

With vSphere Client I can manually create virtual machines on our 5 ESXi host, producing an OVA of our product for distribution file.
I am obliged to describe the process.

Can I set up and configure virtual machines using only the ESXi console?

VCLI (free download) allows Windows to create virtual machines on an ESXi host?

Outline of what needs of script:

  • create a VM (this is the only bit that I was able to do it, using the console for ESXi)
  • install CentOS Linux using anaconda with kickstart script
  • Configure the virtual machine and the export

Advice, tips or pointers to get this done will be very appreciated!

Thank you very much

Alan

A few answers to your questions

1. you will need to get an ISO of the CD of CentOS and store it somewhere on a data store.

Once this is done, you can use the cmdlet Set-CDDrive with the IsoPath parameter.

2. use the cmdlet New-VM , something like that.

You get the default value of the bu NIC, just specify what portgroup to connect to

$vm = New - VM - name MyVM - ID centosGuest - NumCpu 1 - MemoryMB (1 GB / 1 MB)-DiskMb (60 GB / 1 MB)-NetworkName MyPG

3 see forces a VM to access BIOS screen on the next reboot

4. use the Start-VM cmdlet

Start-VM - $vm VM - confirm: $false

5 once again with the cmdlet Set-CDDrive , but the use of the HostDevice parameter

6 see specify bootable for a virtual machine devices

7. do not apply. You change the boot order before starting the virtual machine

8. who could perhaps be done with the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and the bash ScriptType parameter. But I have not tested with CentOS.

9. it's a little tricky. The external vSphere unclear when a program inside a guest what OS is finished. There are ways to send some kind of semaphores, see, for example, waiting for the customization of the OS to complete

10. There are a lot of the cmdlet Set-availabe, i.e. Whole-VM, Set-NetworkAdapter...

As a guideine, you should always try to translate your literally to scripts for automation of manual procedures. Sometimes, you should first rethink your account automation procedure.

    Hi all

    looking for advice to update for my 2 year old want 700-230ea descktop

    thought in the following way

    Replace the boot wth drive a fast SSD

    Doubling of the Ram of 16 MB to 32 MB

    Add a better graphics card.

    Just struggling to find compatibel points, so everyone has any idea, what type of memory should I watch so that its compatibility with the existing 2, 8 meg sticks

    SSDS seem to be a source of confusion that mine field that I should look for use as boot drive.

    Graphics card will be limited to what the power supply can turn off, someone knows what it supports current graphics cards go.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    @Paul80, welcome to the forum.

    Here's memory and SSD who are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  You have to open the case and check of installed memory brand.  Then contact the Crucial Tech Support to see if their memory will be compatible.  The main problem with the addition of memory, it's buy the memory that is compatible with existing modules.

    The best way to install the SSD, it's letting the existing connected HARD disk as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the cloning software that you will use on the HARD drive.  Open and select the SSD as target disk.  Once the SSD is cloned, disconnect the HARD drive and start.  The start of shoul for the SSD system.

    As for a video, here is a card that has very good reviews.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  It should work well with your power supply unit (PSU).

  • Script for the mandatory boxes

    Recently I've been editing a PDF file with checkboxes for the steps in a process. Basically, these just will be used when going through the process to check off each step individual as long as the user goes along. There was a high requirement to prevent the checkboxes of the audit until the previous one has been checked. So box 2 cannot be controlled until the box 1 have been verified, and 3 cannot be controlled until 2 is checked etc.

    Does anyone could offer some advice on a script for this? My knowledge of scripting languages is quite limited, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

    Thanks for all the help.

    I finally managed to find a piece of code that shows the next box hidden but also hide the check box, so that from before is not checked. Here's the code I used just in case anyone is interested.

    var nHide = event.target.isBoxChecked (0)? display.visable:display.hidden;

    this.getField("Check_Box2").display = nHide;

    Once again thanks for the help.

  • Can you suggest a host for a beginner using dreamweaver?

    Hello!  I am a total web construction beginner so please be nice :-)  I built most of my site using dreamweaver, but I have problems to get in touch with technical support to my chosen host (lunar pages).  Supposedly they offer 24/7 support, but it took me about 10 hours to talk to someone after three calls waiting for 30 minutes each, but also to present a ticket online.  Before going further I think cancellation of my payment by credit card with them and from new with a new domain on a new host to avoid dealing with DNS transfer.  Anyone has a suggestion for a good host for a beginner by downloading a dreamweaver site?  I'm looking for a host who will have an easy learning curve (because I'm new), uses cpanel, has a quick and quality technical support and supports PHP and MySQL.  I want a legitimate company with no BS.  Of course, price is a factor, but I'm willing to pay more if the quality of the company is worthy of it.   I work on a mac, if it's at all important.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated as it was difficult for me to assess through searches random review hosting companies.

  • Need a script for vlanid

    Hello

    Can you please help me for a powercli script that retrieves the VLANID of all distributed virtual port groups? I need only virtual port group name and vlan id in the output format.

    I'm afraid of Robert solution will not work for the vlanid and pvlans ranges.

    Try this

    Get-VirtualPortGroup -Distributed | Select Name,

  • How should be written the script for the use of the maximum memory of the guest operating system ever?

    How should be written the script for the use of the maximum memory of the guest operating system ever?

    Please teach the name of the object and the type and order, etc.

    You should be able to do it with the cmdlet Get-Stat .

    Something like that

    Get-Stat -Entity (Get-VM $vmName) -Stat mem.usage.maximum -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) | Measure-Object -Property value -Maximum | Select Maximum
    

    This will return the maximum percentage in the last 7 days for the guests, whose name is stored in the variable $vmName.

  • Where can I download the scripts for sample IX, SH patterns for 11g

    Hello

    I installed the server Oracle 11 g without sampling schemes. In the standard schema of the sample set, we had an example of information Exachange schema (queue) and a Historyschema of sale. However I don't get the sample scripts for these two schemas in my repertoire of the demo.

    Can you please let me know where I can get access to the scripts?

    I have a requirement for an OLTP data store that can receive a high volume of data from an external system (Expecting max of 6 GB of data). I decided to create a separate schema, with dedicated storage spaces, it's a good idea to have a data file with a maxsize put 6 GB or to have a set of 3 from 1000 m managed locally and a maximum size of 2 GB each. There is not many necessary index, but I need to set up a queue and on the queue as well. If I create this schema that make them I need to revisit my groups redolog or temp table size as well to keep my performance of existing database intact?

    Are there guidelines to follow for a scheme where you expect a large amount of standard data, multiple queues?

    idea of rjama to use datapump should be easy.

    Another way to do would be to use DBMS_METADATA to extract the DDL in SQL * MORE and reel the results to a file.
