All virtual machines fail to be recovered on a store of data due to a VM invalid
I see this error for each VM configured on this particular volume when I run a test:
Error - machines virtual "MBRDBPRDRestore1120" who are not protected by this protection group use 'VM_1ALB_T1_VOL1' data warehouses located in this protection group.
This virtual machine is a copy of a virtual machine that is in the protection group, but it has been restored to a different volume with a different name.
When I browse the data store I'm not find all files that look like they are associated with restored vm.
Any ideas?
check out the swap file...

vCenter shows all virtual machines and the host is disconnected
Hello
I have a two nodes in the cluster ESXi6 U2 (recently updated to 5.5) running on hp dl380p gen8. For some reason all the virtual machines are running on host A (HA and DRS are enabled). vCenter shows all virtual machines and host A is disconnected. Cannot connect to A host using vSphere client or web client. Cannot vMotion the VMs. Impossible to activate SSH. Connection DCUI works very well. Cannot perform any action VM
All virtual machines are in place are running at this point. I don't want to restart the virtual machines. Can you help me please?
Thank you
AJ
Frozen screen DCUI came back to life. The active SSH access, killed the running process. The host of running backs.
See you soon,.

Hi gurrus and LucD
I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.
The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.
Concerning
Nauman
Try like this
$report = @)
{foreach ($cluster Get-cluster)
foreach ($rp in Get-ResourcePool-location $cluster) {}
foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location the $rp |)) Where {Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $_______ | where {$_.}} Type - eq "e1000"}})) {}

Close all virtual machines on ESXi
Hello
I'm new in the administration of vSphere. I would like to raise our ESXi servers due to updates, but I've read that you shut down all virtual machines that are on it. You have something better to do then close VMs one? I expect a powershell script, but I have found none so far.
Thank you
Kralijir, you can do it from the console GUI.
In the left pane, select the ESX host.
In the right pane, click the tab "virtual machines". Now, you can select block all virtual machines here and simply right-clicking them stop all, or make other changes in bulk.
Some changes via selection bulk require all virtual machines to be in the same State; Turned off the power, power, etc.
If it works for you, please mark this answer as the 'response '.

ESXi 4.1 upgrade to ESXi 5.5 while all virtual machines and data warehouses
We have two servers ESXi 4.1.0 348481 (Essentials) and we need to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 for support of Windows Server R2 2012. We intend to use the interactive upgrade. We want to ensure that the virtual machine is preserved. More precisely VMFarm001 where ESXi is installed in the same data store as VMServer1. VMServer1 is our largest server and cannot be migrated to another data store easily because we are not allowed for vMotion.
The following layout
VMFarm001
Dell PowerEdge R710
Data store:
Storage1 - 1.36 TB
VMServer1 - MS Server 2003
Install ESXi
Storage2 - 1.82 TB
VMServer2 - MS Server 2008 R2
VMServer3 - MS Server 2008 R2
VMFarm002
HP ProLiant ML350 G5
Data store:
Storage1 - 95GB
Install ESXi
ISOs
Storage2 - 1.82 TB
VMServer4 - MS Server 2008 R2
VMServer5 - MS Server 2008 R2
I have a feeling I'm worried for nothing given that option during the ESXi upgrade and keep the VMFS datastore.
Thank you
Yes, that's correct.
I recently finished the upgrade of lots of stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1 (with local storage only) to 5.1 and all were successful. The same process applies to 5.5, so you shouldn't have a problem with preservation of VMFS data warehouses (and all virtual machines).

All virtual machines to an ESXi Server ping
Hi all
For a project of mine, I need to create a script that asks for the ESXi server host name,
and after that start ping all virtual machines that are on the ESXi server.
I tried to do without success up to now.
Help will be appreciated.
Thank you!
What follows is based on the fact that the VMware tools are installed.
If they are not installed, you could adapt the script to try and ping displayname VM.
$esxName = "MyEsx".
Get-VMHost-name $esxName | Get - VM | %{
$hostnamePresent = $_. Guest.HostName - don't $null
{if ($hostnamePresent)}
$pingable = test-Connection - ComputerName $_. Guest.HostName - count 1 - calm
}
else {}
$pingable = $false
}
Select - InputObject $_ - the property name.
@{N = "This Hostname"; E = {$hostnamePresent}},
@{N = "responding"; E = {$pingable}}
}

Gwetting a list of all virtual machines and used space
I apologize for my very basic question.I need to make a file (better if an Excel file) with a list of all virtual machines in a simple 5.x vSphere infrastructure including 2 VMare ESXi 5.x servers and the disk space used (allocated, used) of each virtual computer.
The easiest way seems to list the virtual machines from the vSphere client and export the list as a .xls file.
It seems simple, but when I look at the file I see a lot of missing VMs or a large number of missing values for several virtual machines (just the Runts).
Is this a problem with my vSphere client?
I tried to create a PowerCli script using the "Get - VM|" Select-object Name"command, but my limited skills will let me extract the value of the used space.»
Can someone please provide a sample of PowerCli I can just copy and use?
Is there another way to get the information I need?
Concerning
Marius
.
Not knowing that if you have configured a cluster or just stand-alone hosts, here is one simple line...
Get-VMHost-name
| get - vm | select name, usedspaceGB From there, you can make formatting, get total usage etc.

Access to the network in all virtual machines lost after that put 8.1 to level.
Today, I upgraded my host computer to Windows 64-bit Pro 8.1. I did the upgrade through the Windows store. There are no errors or problems during the upgrade.
However: The host machine equipped with a Qualcomm E2200 network adapter, and it runs the 'Killer' Network Manager software called at startup. After the 8.1 update, when the machine did its last restart, Qualcomm Network Manager opened with a message that the LSP has not mapped correctly. I clicked 'YES' to remap it. Probably a stupid move on my part.
Thereafter, I lost all network connectivity in all my virtual machines. I have virtual machines for Windows 8, Windows 8.1 RTM (not the preview) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. ALL of them have lost the network.
The host computer has no network problem and works well after the upgrade.
Any ideas or suggestions to reset network connections in virtual machines?
All virtual machines are set to use NAT.
Oh I have to say also that the host computer is running VMware Workstation 10 and everything was fine and dandy, has never had problems at all until this upgrade/LSP remap thing. I have install VMware Tools in the VM of Windows 8.1, with no effect at all.
Thank you.
-J
Two things, I'll try:
1. go in the virtual network editor and restore settings. The culprit is probably the VMNet to NAT configuration.
2. If this does not work, it seems that the virtual card for NAT does not somehow. The simplest workaround is to uninstall and reinstall the workstation.

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.logvmconfig-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}) {}
...
}

Setting Options such as Hotplug for all virtual machines
Hello!
I have about 5 esxi hosts 5 and about 50 virtual machines
Unfortunately I forgot to select some options like activate the plug-in memory and cpu hot
I have 2 questions
1 can I do this without turning off the machine
2. How do I make a few options like this (or for example another option as vmtools update during the feeding cycle) for all virtual machines in my environment
It's too much time to go to all virtual machines and turn them off and turn on these options
Thank you very much
These features must be enabled before the virtual machine is running. So, you will need to turn them off and then use something like powercli to enable the features and turn them back on.
Here is an example on how to do it with powercli: http://ict-freak.nl/2009/10/05/powercli-enabledisable-the-vm-hot-add-features/
