Automate the many tasks of vMotion

Hello members,

I have a migration job include a lot of virtual machines to new hardware. To reduce downtime, we created a new cluster shared vDS under vCenter even and now will perform vmotion (sometimes without shared storage) to new groups/hosts. It all comes down to three steps, no doubt repetitive tasks below and I'm not sure if powercli is the answer or look out for tool or something.

1. change the host (with shared storage) for several virtual machines, preferably a list/excel.

2. change the port group for all the virtual machines.

3 vMotion (without shared storage) to another cluster and another host.

If possible, I'd like to combine the three steps above. There is a limitation on the number of vMotions without shared by host (2) storage, so I have to consider that as well.

looking forward for your suggestions and let me know for further details.

Thank you

This is a quite decent script.

Try with these small adjustments

# CSV entry has this format

#

# Name, jumphost, targetportgroup, targethost targetDatastore

# WinTemplate, host2.lab.local, Servers, host1.lab.local, iSCSI2

#

#Connect to vcenter server

$vcenter = "192.168.199.5".

to connect-viserver $vcenter - https protocol

#Import list of virtual machines

$vms = import-Csv "C:\list.csv".

{foreach ($vm to $vms)

$vmObj is get-VM-name $vm. Name

$jumphost = get-VMHost-name $vm.jumphost - Server $vcenter

$target_pg = get-VirtualPortGroup-name $vm.targetportgroup

$targethost = get-VMHost-name $vm.targethost

$targetDS = get-Datastore-name $vm.targetDatastore

  • How to automate the process of loading data using load file & Task Scheduler

    Hello

    I do the automated processes to load the data into Hyperion Planning application using the file data_Load.bat & Scheduler of tasks.

    I created Data_Load.bat file, but the rest of the process, I cannot complete.

    Could help you me, how to automate the process of loading data using the file Data_load.bat & task Scheduler or what are the rest of the file is require it to achieve.

    Thank you

    In response to your question using the maxl for loading scripts?

    If Yes, I've seen and deliver in the batch (ex: load_data.bat) that is you do not have the path of the maxl script complete with a batch when passing through the event the task scheduler will work, but the log file and / or error will not be created. Which means lots claims it linked task scheduler, although he did not do what you need to.

    If you use maxl use this as the batch

    "essmsh C:\data\DataLoad.mxl" or you can also use the full path for the maxl or work elsewhere. The only reason why I think that the maxl can then not work is if you do not have the updated batch updated to call on all LANE changes maxl or if you need to update your environment variables to correct the command essmsh to work in a command prompt.

  • The error task of Planner 0x8007052E in Vista Home Premium

    I'm trying to use the Task Scheduler to run a program at startup of the system using an account 'service '.  I have configure the task, providing the correct user account and password to use, and then restart the computer.  I then check the Task Scheduler and see that the task cannot start with the following reason:

    Task Scheduler could not start the task of '\TestFolder\Test' for the user 'Computer\ServiceAccount '. Additional data: error value: 2147943726.

    The user and the password are properly defined.  The computer just do not use them properly when the task starts.  I have all the updates installed, including Vista SP2.  I searched the Internet and found many complaints about the same issue, but no resolution.  Is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    When you initially define a scheduled task, it will run without problem, if the scheduled task user is logged in or not. But after restart or restart Windows the task will only run if the user of the scheduled task is currently connected to Windows.

    For more information, see this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931711

    The only way to ensure your task is running is to always log on to Windows by using the scheduled task user and use the option "Change user" rather than "disconnect" If you have multiple users on your PC.

    You can configure Vista to automatically connect a user to Windows startup. For configuration Vista automatically log a user, try the following steps.
    1. click on start then type netplwiz in the search box and press ENTER.
    2. the 'User accounts' dialog box is displayed.
    3. Select the user running your scheduled tasks, and then deselect the option "users must enter a user name and password... ' and click on 'OK '.
    4. you will be asked to enter the password for the selected user:
    Enter the password and click on 'OK '. Now Vista will automatically connect the user selected at startup of Windows.
    5. If you want to prevent this user from disconnecting and that can cause the same error, you must take the "lock" rather than the option "Log Off." Similarly, if you want to log on under a different name, then take the option "change user".

    NOTE: This is normal and does not affect Vista Business or Ultimate.

    I hope this helps.

  • Automate the backup of Config

    I'm looking to install a way to backup the configuration of my C370.  Currently, I know how to do it manually via the GUI.  Is it possible to automate this process and it backs up through the CLI?  I was searching through the CLI yesterday, but I couldn't find what would save the config on the command.  I guess if I could find the command that I could set up a job through our Kiwi CatTools to do.  I would like to know if anyone knows how to do this, or if you have found another way to do this effectively.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Hi Mike,.

    There are actually two ways to do this.

    You can save the configuration of the CLI by using the saveconfig command. You can load a configuration file using the loadconfig command. I would like to run these commands first, just so that you can see the process. Basically, you can script something around these commands that could do the job.

    We also have a section of Nice knowledge base that covers this topic as well. The approach is a little differnet but the results are the same.

    How can I schedule or automate the backup of the file of configuration XML from my device?  Where he lives?  How to do a scheduled backup of the configuration of a Windows system file?

    Environment:

    -ESA with AsyncOS 6.x or later.
    -A designated host for the introduction and the storage of backups.

    NOTES:

    Familiarity with the BONES of script and forecasts of the tasks is necessary to understand and implement these tasks safely.  Please understand that many of these concepts are beyond the scope of the IronPort customer support and these sample scripts are certainly not taken in charge.  Although these steps have been successfully tested, this article is mainly for purposes of demonstration and illustration.

    The configuration file dynamically generated during the use of the recording or email of the CLI or GUI configuration tools.  To have an effective backup, it is best to "unmask" passwords, which allows you to place a ground form of passwords for local administrative accounts in the device configuration file.  For this reason, we can not simply copy a flat file "running Setup" of the device.  This method allows us to access the device first, issue a command to dynamically build the current configuration, and either save or mail a copy of this file somewhere remotely, without any intervention from the user.  Once this is done, we can then repeat or schedule this task to occur on a regular basis.

    Quickly and automatically save the configuration with the passwords exposed files:

    (1) generate a SSH key pair to use.  Verify that you can access your device via SSH without having to enter a password.  Details on this operation is provided in article #283.

    (2) create script to connect to the device, save the config and copy (or by mail).  Two simple examples written in BASH:

    Example #1: Saving the configuration to a specific host
    #! / bin/bash
    # This saves the config and then he copies locally via SCP in a directory called backup/config-ironport
    HOSTNAME = test.com
    USER name = admin
    FILENAME = "ssh $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME "saveconfig Yes"|" grep xml | cut f 3 - d "" ' "
    SCP $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME:./configuration/$FILENAME./ironport/config-backups /.

    Example #2: Emailing an email address configuration
    #! / bin/bash
    # This sends the config to MAILDEST
    HOSTNAME = MX.test.com
    USER name = admin
    [email protected] / * /.
    SSH $USERNAME@$HOSTNAME 'mailconfig $MAILDEST Yes.

    NOTE: this similar logic can be applied in any scripting language OS such as VB scripts or batch for Windows.  These scripts are intended as examples only rudimentary.

    (3) use cron or or scheduling tool to start work on a regular basis.  Services like cron or Task Scheduler in Windows are easy tools that can be used to automate simple jobs like that.  For example, the * NIX CRON configuration file follows this format:

    minute (0-59), hour (0-23, 0 = midnight), day (1-31), month (1-12), day of the week (0-6, 0 = Sunday), command

    So a good example to run this script every day at 02:00 would look like:
    00 02 * /location/your_script.sh

    Otherwise, here is another method to automate a backup of the configuration.

    How to do a scheduled backup of the configuration of a Windows system file?

    With the following procedure, you can save the configuration on a regular basis of a Windows system file.

    1 install the emulator of terminal 'PuTTY' under C:\

    2. create a text file with the following line and name it "send_config.txt" and place it under C:\ (Change of [email protected] / * / to the email address you want the configuration file must be sent to)

    mailconfig [email protected] / * /.
    3. create a text file with the following lines and name it "send_config_batch.bat" and place it under C:\
    (Change the "hostname" for the host name can be resolved or IP address of your device and the "password" to your real password for the admin account).

    C:\putty.exe-SSH hostname-l - pw admin and password C:\send_config.txt m
    output

    4. Add "send_config_batch.bat" to the scheduled task window.

    The Configuration file will be sent to the address specified in the "send_config.txt".

    I hope this helps!

  • How to change data objects and update the corresponding task and task forms?

    Hi all

    I modified this thread because I found that I had many questions to ask.

    1.
    I'm quite new to OBPM and would like to know how to change data - for clarity objects add a new attribute "Dependents of the Client" "Customer care" - and therefore update the task that uses the 'customer information' what makes via data binding - I get an error message here - or via the data about the data Task-The chosen tab it does not appear to be linked to my approach in some sort.

    2.
    Will be the task form that I generated earlier in < 1 > update automatically? Is it possible to update manually if the task has been clearly customized?

    3.
    What are the objects of project data? They do not store values in my process. They are for the arguments only - like reusable process?

    Thanks in advance,

    Kind regards

    Yanis

    Hi Yanius,

    (1) assume that you start from scratch. First, you declare your data object structure. To do this, you must go to the BPM project Naviagtor, right-click on 'Catalogue of trades' and create a new Module. Then you can right click on the module you created and select the new object of trade. Add all the attributes you need. It is the same to declare a class in Java. Second, you must declare a variable of the type process you have created: select the process, go to the Structure display (if you don't go and activate it in menu view Jdev-> Structure). Right click on the Process data object and create your variable. It's like setting a variable in Java. In short, answering your question, make the path opposite: find in your process of type "Customer Details", then go to your catalog Business, right click and change the definition to add what you need.

    (2) the human task will not update automatically (annoying). If you change the object itself, so you don't need to change your mappings because actually there the same object you are through the task as in / out argument. There are two things here: the human task and form associated with it (where probably change you the subject i.e. customer details). Go to the form (.jspx) - click on the tab links (by default, you are in the Design). In the links page, there is a link on top: "Page Définition File" (something like proj/pageDef/...xml). Open the XML file and go to the source. There you can add manually now all the attributes you need and that were not available before (i.e. dependent Client). It's a little complicated, but at least you don't have to recreate it. particularly useful if you have already implemented and subsequently form, you need to add more things (business is very good to say otherwise, "I would like to see something else in the form" ;)

    (3) project data objects are visible by all processes that you have in the project rather than the object of process data that are visible only to the method where you set the variable to. This means that you declare an object of data of the project once and then it will be available to all processes. Keep in mind that each process has a copy of it. In other words, it is not like a global variable that everyone sees. If edit you in a single process, other processes will not see the new value.

    I hope that I have answered your questions.
    See you soon,.

  • Automate the copy of several cells of different lines based on a non-single cell

    Hello

    I would like to automate the process for copy information in the columns of 'product', 'ref' and 'quantity' to another table in the sheet 'order' based on the text in the column "nr." I know it can be done with the help of the filter and the copy paste, but I would like to know if this can be automated, because there are many more tables in my actual document. The numbers ranging from 16/01/00 to a minimum of 16/200 then make an index for each column seems an unlikely solution?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    HI Kim,

    I see screenshots of two seemingly identical pictures. Its position, I could infer that 16/01/00 is the name of this table.

    I don't see a column named "nr."

    Please repost, with images of the two tables.

  • I disabled csturstil because the kernel task ate my treatment. Should I worry about my lack of SIP?

    All sudden yesterday my computer has significantly slowed down. After checking the activity monitor, it appeared that the core tasks consumed a huge amount of processing power. A few hours of research and I was able to stop the task of kernel by disabling the csturstil. My computer is running fast, once again, but after some research more than I am worried that I have disabled the SIP and therefore my self more vulnerable to malware.

    Two things to note. From my research, I gathered that these will be useful. Any idea would be appreciated, thanks.

    My extensions - many fixes called for this step)

    4. starting at the root of the drive (not home folder): - resources System Library - Extensions - IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext (content alt-click/view) - Plugins - ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext - display content--- find the name in step 3 and move it to a folder that you can find again if needed.

    (3. reboot and you're done (other than activation of SIP).) -I'm not a IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext - should I worry?

    FOR THE RECORD 1.

    FOR THE RECORD 2.

    False advice who followed you were irresponsible, bad and dangerous. You must re - activate the SIP and then reinstall OS X. If you still have problems after that, ask for other instructions.

  • How did each service assigned to one of the many instances of svchost on startup?

    You use Process Explorer frequently, and I noticed that when the pointer is placed on one of the many svchost processes, there are at least twelve bodies. Procexp displays a tip listing the services it supports, the number of items listed for each instance is different between these instances of active significaltly. Manager tasks indicates that the statistics for the active instances vary widely between these instances. I tried to answer this part of the question myself, but I have not find any instanceswithonoy service except fot some where the [Stop] button is not active.

    The registry entry for each service can contain a value that specifies the group to which it belongs. The groups are listed in the registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceGroupOrder.

    The Service Control Manager maintains a database of services and services start-up control.

    You can change the group to which belongs a service or specify that it runs in its own service host using the sc config command. Forcing service is running in an isolated host can be useful in debugging a problem.
