Apply a profile to host several guests to csv

I'm really close on this one I think.  The content of my hostprofile.csv is:

'NAME, STATE, STATUS, % CPU, % MEMORY, THE LAST TIME LEAVES STANDBY, ALARM ACTIONS, AUTODEPLOY. "MACHINEIDENTITY, CREATED BY A, FUNCTION, DL, OWNER/APPLICANT NOTIFICATION '.

"esxdc2s01. "DOMAIN.local, Maintenance Mode, normal, 0%, 2%, never allowed," he said.

"esxdc2s02. "DOMAIN.local, Maintenance Mode, normal, 0%, 2%, never allowed," he said.

"esxdc2s03. "DOMAIN.local, Maintenance alert Mode, 0%, 2%, never allowed," he said.

And my code is:

$HostList = import-Csv Hostprofiles.csv

SE connect-VIServer-Server VIRTUALCENTER. DOMAIN.local-"qa\a-dubutcher" of the user-password MYPASSWORD

# Apply the profile of the host to all virtual machines in $HostList
{foreach ($Host in $HostList)
Apply-VMHostProfile-$($Host.NAME) of the entity-profile YKFProfile-confirm: $false
}

And my error message is:

Impossible to replace host variable because it is read-only or constant.
The C:\Users\dubutcher\Dropbox\VMware\Scripts\Blackberry_Applyprofile.ps1:6 tank
: 8
+ foreach < < < < {($Host in $HostList)
+ CategoryInfo: WriteError: (host: String) [], SessionStateUnauth
orizedAccessException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: VariableNotWritable

Any suggestions?

The variable "$Host" is reserved system so that you cannot overwrite it.

Your update code:

$HostList = import-Csv Hostprofiles.csv

SE connect-VIServer-Server VIRTUALCENTER. DOMAIN.local-"qa\a-dubutcher" of the user-password MYPASSWORD

# Apply the profile of the host to all virtual machines in $HostList
{foreach ($VMHost to $HostList)
Apply-VMHostProfile-$($VMHost.NAME) of the entity-profile YKFProfile-confirm: $false
}

  • (RE) Apply profiles to host with PowerCLI

    Hi guys.

    I have two clusters in VCenter each with its own host profile.  Recently, I made a change in profiles and wanted reapply them for my guests.  When I do it manually, it goes without a hitch.  Profiles of already implemented at the cluster level.  When I used PowerCLI, it works beautifully on a cluster and VMOTION ROMPT the other! I tried two different methods.

    Method 1 should simply use the profile already registered for each host on the server.

    SE connect-VIServer vcentername

    Get-VMHost | {ForEach-Object

    Game-VMHost - VMHost $_-maintenance of State

    Apply-VMHostProfile-entity $_ - confirm: $false

    Game-VMHost - VMHost $_-connected state

    Test-VMHostProfileCompliance - VMHost $_

    }

    When it bombed the Group 2, I thought he might try to apply the same profile at a time, so I tried this. Note that the profile names matching the names of cluster for self-documenting.

    SE connect-VIServer vcentername

    Get-VMHost-location cluster1. {ForEach-Object

    Game-VMHost - VMHost $_-maintenance of State

    VMHostProfile-apply-profile cluster1-entity $_ - confirm: $false

    Game-VMHost - VMHost $_-connected state

    Test-VMHostProfileCompliance - VMHost $_

    }

    Get-VMHost-location cluster2 | {ForEach-Object

    Game-VMHost - VMHost $_-maintenance of State

    VMHostProfile-apply-profile cluster2-entity $_ - confirm: $false

    Game-VMHost - VMHost $_-connected state

    Test-VMHostProfileCompliance - VMHost $_

    }

    Both have the same result. CLUSTER1 works like a charm.  Cluster2 bombs as a nuke!

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Derek

    So, what is the error you get when you apply the profile of the host to the Cluster 2? Or no error PowerCLI but vMotion fails once the profile is applied? I'm breaking vMotion terms, what do you do to fix?

    In terms of PowerCLI, there is not much to break, then it may be a problem with the profile files or answer potentially.

  • Error in profile after host controls can be updated.

    I recently applied ESXi550-201505002 (may be updated) all of my host and now my profile checks host will not work. I have attached to creating a new profile of the host and also update my profile existing and still no joy. The error I get is "chess against host profile: unexpected error, compliance: no object Type isn't iterables.  I Googled it many different ways and I tried a bunch of different solution attempts. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Thank you in advance.


    OK, problem solved. I thought that I would update just in case someone encounters this situation in the future.

    Our ESXi host for security reasons must be on their own segment without access to any other domain joined machines... except vCenter of course and they do not have direct access to the domain controllers or DNS (we have a file local host on each host computer referencing the other ESXi host). In our host profile DNS is not configured, but apparently something with this most recent update did not like that and that it is 'unknown' when you try to run a compliance check. I could always apply a profile of the host, not simply check that she was entirely consistent thereafter.  So basically, I edited the host profile to include not "DNS Configuration", located in configuration Networking--> NetStack Instance--> default TcpipStack--> DNS configuration. Once I did all the checks came back normal and showed consistent.

    Take care.

  • Title of the OBIEE report based on several guests

    Hi gurus,

    We have a requirement of obiee where we give the title based on the Prompt values selected several guests

    We have guests for the region, subregion, Country, market

    If the user just selects the Europe area and click on apply, then title should have values of the region as a "reseller for Europe."
    If the user selects the region and subregion Europe and Central, then title should be "dealer for Central.
    If the service selects the region, subregion and country as Central Europe and America "title should have 'Reseller for America'...

    Like this
    Is it possible to achieve this in OBIEE

    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Lakshmi.

    Hey Lakshmi,

    By title, if you mean the title of your report you can use the approach below:

    -use a narrative mode to hold the title of the report.
    -Add another report column and add a statement box that would hold the prompt value that has been selected. To do this, first create variables of presentation for all columns in the command prompt. For example assume for the region, the SugRegion, the country and the market you create 4 variable presentation, namely - varRegion, varSubRegion, varCountry and varMarket.
    -Now, the case statement in the fx column would be

    case
    "When ' @{varMarket} {defaultValue}' <>'defaultValue' then ' @{varMarket}"
    "When ' @{varCountry} {defaultValue}' <>'defaultValue' then ' @{varCountry}"
    "When ' @{varSubRegion} {defaultValue}' <>'defaultValue' then ' @{varSubRegion}"
    "When ' @{varRegion} {defaultValue}' <>'defaultValue' then ' @{varRegion}"
    else 'No value Selected' end

    -Then, hide this column and reference in the narrative view and make lines to display as 1. Assuming that this column is in first position, in narrative mode, you can mention it as:

    Dealer for the @1

    I would like to know if that's what you're looking for.

    Thank you

  • Can I use an antivirus on each of my hosts and guests at the same time when running a virtual environment on my PC?

    I have Windows 7 running on my main computer at present and that you have a virtual environment installed as an operating system on this computer very.

    I would like to know if I am able to run an internet security on my pc (Windows 7) host program and other internet security on my guest in my virtual environment operating system (pc windows 8)... at the same time.

    I ask this question because... I installed my OS of windows 8 in a virtual environment running inside my Windows 7 OS in order to familiarize yourself with the features of windows 8 and to test the compliance of windows 8 with various hardware components I use... to satisfy my curiosity before I migrate eventually completely to windows 8.

    Part of my tests would involve various software including Internet security applications.

    So the question is... I was able to save my virtual environment with an Internet security program, while having an Internet security program running in the host computer?

    PS my environments hosts and guests are not put networked with the exception of the common external drives and dvd burners. The plan being that the Internet security on my host computer program will have my analysis excluded virtual environment.

    Yes

    The systems are completely separated from each other, will not affect the different AntiVirus on another product.

    If you decide to test another Internet security program don't forget to completely remove the old version on the virtual machine

  • Lightroom does not apply lens profile automatically

    Hello

    I use Lightroom CC based on MacOS.

    Unfortunately, Lightroom does not apply the profile of my SIGMA 150-600 mm F5-6. 3 DG OS HSM p014 in development mode, but shows the lens correctly in library mode. All other lenses (CANON) are applied automatically, so it seems that I have a configuration problem. Lightroom shows that the profile cannot be detected automatically and cannot be applied. In the list of lenses, I can choose the target and that the profile is applied.

    Support said that this target is not supported. I can see the attached list of the answer all lenses supported by lightroom. And guess what, the lens is in this list. Detective Conan.

    So the support team has done a worse job, and did not check the list. I described that I can choose manually, but the response above was the answer.

    Any ideas how a.) the coup support team for doing their job and b.) help me with my problem.

    Thank you

  • Cannot drag-and - drop between host and guest

    12 workstation

    Host = 10 Pro x 64 Windows

    Comments = 10 Pro x 64 Windows

    Everything is entirely up to date, etc. on a Z87 PC chipset.

    I can copy and paste. I can drag-and - drop comments to the host.

    I can't drag-and - drop between host and guest! lol I just get that bar circle icon.

    I'm totally stumped! I tried a myriad of common things...uninstalled/reinstalled VMWARE, then Tools, then even tried to create new guests. I do not have eccentric tweaks or customizations. It is a desktop PC that I use for a laboratory test and my business. I have no other problems in addition to this. Yet, on my other system, essentially a nearly identical configuration, I don't have this problem.

    Any suggestions?

    SOLUTION FOUND!

    The problem boils down to a matter of RUN AS ADMIN. On the HOST problem, it has been set to RUN as administrator. I've not done this! He has just installed that way automatically. Once I stopped that and it ran normally, all was well again. Read below for more details.

    I have two virtual HOST machine configurations almost identical - we'll we'll call HOST 1 and HOST 2. HOST 2 works perfectly without a problem. Drag and drop, to navigate to drives mapped to access NAS stored VMs, etc...

    I began to compare what was similar vs. different between the two. On HOST 1 (problem child even as I could slide properly - drop on), I noticed that I could not navigate to my NAS location where some virtual machines are stored. In the left navigation panel, the mapped drives would appear as drive letters with question marks next to them as you can see in the image below.

    I deleted the mapped drives then mapped them still fresh, did an other CLEAN uninstall VMWARE WS PRO 12. I combed the registry, records and checked for devices hidden in Device Manager. Clean as a whistle! I reinstalled 12 Workstation and returned the problem! I could yet drag-and - drop properly or navigate to mapped drives. Then I noticed the HOST 2 that he was not being RUN as administrator. Really? So, I removed this parameter and TA DA! Everything started to work properly. I don't know if it's a bug, or knowledge common to others but for me it was new. I don't know why, by default, when installing 1 HOST went down VMWARE to run as administrator, but it was.

    Bottom line - do not run VMWARE as an administrator.

  • Difficulty ping between the hosts and guests

    Hello

    I want to establish network connectivity between my host OS (XPsp3) and my guests (CentOS5.5 and Windows 7).

    So far, I can ping between guests, but not between host and guest, or comments to the host.  When I try, I get a message "destination host unreachable".

    When I configured my virtual machines in a first time, I put them to 'Host-Only' and I need to keep it like that for the purpose of what I do with them - which is the problem?

    Ipconfig and ifconfig outs of machines attached.

  • unique IP address does not work properly. with win7 host and guest.

    Hello

    I can use internet equally as good on my host and guest WIN7 using a bridge connection.

    I use a bridge connection.

    My main goal with win7 as a virtual machine is to use the same application online with a different IP address... This is where it falls apart. When I do 'whatsmyip"on the virtual machine and the host. It appears to be the same.

    ipconfig in CMD shows 192.168.1.x1 on the host and 192.168.1.x2 on the comments. but make an ip check online shows that

    96.365.1xx.x on two of them.

    I only got an E-card... but maybe there's a way to fool the router by giving me two single dynamic IP address...

    Thank you for your time!

    Attached is a mental map of the way I'd like it works. (The two runnig Windows 7)

    On the IP addresses should not be the same as those listed below

    The problem here is not in VMware Workstation or your host, its your NAT:ed internet connection.

    Your internet provider very probably only you give an IP to get out, if you want more you have to communicate with them.

  • Host and guest of the machines on different physical networks

    Hello everyone.  I would wise advice from the forum, about a particular environment, I am trying to set up.

    I have VMware Server 2 installed on my XP laptop, which is connected to a DSL modem via a NIC edge portable said has also a PCMCIA NETWORK card installed in it.

    I would like to take a virtual XP workstation and connect to a modem cable via the PCMCIA NIC for test connection hosts and guests safe through the public internet.  For this exercise, I need two machines to be completely separate and therefore have no way to reach or in interaction with each other anyway, except through the extended link.

    What follows is a list of what I've done so far.  I would like to know if there is anything I missed.  Perhaps more measures must be taken that I'm not aware of.

    Thanks in advance for your collective time.

    (1) disabled all services associated with the PCMCIA NIC on the host computer, including TCP/IP, except the VMware Bridge Protocol.

    2) welded by the mentioned back PCMCIA NIC to VMnet2 via VMware Virtual Network Editor.

    (3) excluded the NETWORK PCMCIA card automatic connection via the virtual network Editor.

    (4) set up the virtual ethernet device of the instance XP comments use the custom VMnet2 network.

    (5) set the property 'NetworkAddress' of the network connection in the case of XP from comments to the MAC address of the PCMCIA NIC by step seven of the next mission - http://communities.vmware.com/message/378576;jsessionid=034FC6E865C0DB28AD269D7445F2AD0D

    PS - How could these measures differ for a guest computer to Linux (openSUSE 11), especially step 5 in my list above?

    Welcome to the forums!

    IMHO, I think you have done all that was required. I don't know why your step 5 is necessary or if it will be same cause problem. "Bridged" means that the customer acts as its own instance on the network, which includes a discreet addresses MAC and IP, from my point of view. Affecting the MAC guest host MAC is not necessary for the connection of standard bridge, so why if it is necessary here? In addition, you can set any MAC address that you like for a VMware guest. There are restrictions, once again setting the host MAC address in the guest can cause problems.

    You can find the VMware documentation on how to do it here: Page 240, http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf

    There is also something on definition of MAC addresses: Page 234
