• VMware View 4.5 - number of virtual machines deployment through Virtual Center

  Hello

  After an update to VMware View 4.5 Solution, thanks to an automatic pool sliding the virtual Center creates now six machines at the same time.

  Before this update the VC never fired on two machines at the same time...

  It of Nice to have this indictment, but is it possible for me to configure the number of virtual machines created on same time?

  Thanks for your help

  Kind regards

  If you go into servers and change the login information from vCenter there is an Advanced tab.  Click this tab and you can set the maximum amount of concurrent provisioning operations you want.

• Automatically get a list of installed in virtual machines

  Hello

  After selecting the root "Host and Clusters" VMware Infrastructure client, I opened "Virtual Machines" tag and I got the list of all machines. Then by clicking on the right button of the mouse, I open the pop-up menu and have an option "export list... ', so I can export to text file. Of course, I have to do it manually. Is it possible to automate this behavior? I mean I want to get this list of servers every day, let's say at 13:00. It should be automatically created for example in the text file to an esx server or sent me that email. Is it possible to VMWare Infrastructure Client or esx server?

  You can install it on your desktop. But you need Microsoft Powershell to work with it.

• Export a virtual machine like a. OVF

  I want to create a script that will automatically export a VM in vSphere 4 to one. File of the FVO.  I searched through the commads and I see an order for the export TIME, but because the virtual machines are practically not devices I don't know if I can use this command.  I tried to use "help * ovf *", but showing a command to import an OVF.

  I also checked set-VM, thinking that you can convert a virtual machine to a paralytic, similair to how you can use "-ToTemplate" to change a computer to a virtual model, but I don't see anything there.  If someone has solved this before, please help me.

  In fact, it is not difficult to move a virtual machine inside a paralytic. Here's how:

  Get-VM vm_name | Move-VM -Destination vapp_name
  

  After that, you can export the VApp. I hope this helps...

• Automate export PDF in a specific folder without dialog box

  Hi, this post is a continuation of another post, but this forum is no longer relevant.

  Basically, I asked if I could automate the export of my InDesign file to two settings PDF different (one for printing, one for the Web)

  I got it to work, but a step, I can't avoid is having to do facing a dialog box asking where to save the file.

  In an ideal world, I want TO just finished working on my InDesign file, run a script that could automate export to multiple PDF files using my custom settings of the Print and the Web and automatically put the PDF files in a folder (that I put in the script itself - not in a dialog box)

  Here's the script I modifed:

  // BS"D 
  // All rights reserved (c) 2015 by Id-Extras.com 
  // Free to use and modify but do not delete this copyright attribution. 
  // This script will export 2 pdfs of the current document 
  // Choose the PDF presets by altering their names below 
  // The second PDF gets a suffix added to its name. 
  // Modify the line below beginning name2 = to change the suffix. 
  // For more InDesign scripts: www.Id-Extras.com 
  d = app.activeDocument; 
  // Here you can choose the PDF preset 
  preset1 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Hubcast Ready-Press Quality"); 
  preset2 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Web-Ready (JPEG High 200dpi - No Color Conversion)"); 
  if (!(preset1.isValid && preset2.isValid)){ 
   alert("One of the presets does not exist. Please check spelling carefully."); 
   exit(); 
  } 
  if (d.saved){ 
   thePath = String(d.fullName).replace(/\..+$/, "") + ".pdf"; 
   thePath = String(new File(thePath).saveDlg()); 
  } 
  else{ 
   thePath = String((new File).saveDlg()); 
  } 
  thePath = thePath.replace(/\.pdf$/, ""); 
  name1 = thePath+"_PRINT.pdf"; 
  // Here you can set the suffix at the end of the name 
  name2 = thePath+"_WEB.pdf"; 
  d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(name1), false, preset1); 
  d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(name2), false, preset2);
  

  My document structure is as follows below, so, basically, I want to modify the script so that the final PDF ('_PRINT' and "_Applications Web") automatically export to the "Final" folder, I always held to a higher level of the folder that contains the InDesign file.

  

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I hope that this code can respond to your request ;-)

  d = app.activeDocument;
  preset1 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Hubcast Ready-Press Quality");
  preset2 = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("Web-Ready (JPEG High 200dpi - No Color Conversion)");
  if (!(preset1.isValid && preset2.isValid)){
      alert("One of the presets does not exist. Please check spelling carefully.");
      exit();
  } 
  
  mDocName = d.name.substr (0, d.name.lastIndexOf('.'));
  mSourcePath = d.fullName.parent.toString();
  mRootPath =mSourcePath.substr (0, mSourcePath.lastIndexOf('/'));
  mTargetPath=mRootPath.concat('/final/');
  
  mNamePrint = mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,'_PRINT.pdf');
  mNameWeb= mTargetPath.concat(mDocName,'_WEB.pdf');
  
  if (!d.saved){
      d.save;
  }    
  
  d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNamePrint), false, preset1);
  d.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, new File(mNameWeb), false, preset2);
  

• Export the virtual network settings

  I would like to request a feature to be able to export 'Virtual Network Settings' from my computer.

  Whenever I have install or re-install VMWare Workstation on a computer, I have to reconfigure my virtual network settings manually to match the configuration of static IP address I set up on my guest VMs.

  However, if I was able to just export the virtual network settings (and then import these settings into a new installation), I would be able to save time of configuration on each of my computers/workstations and thus avoid manual effort either myself or to inform my colleagues on how to configure their virtual network settings to take in charge the VMS the comments.

  Thank you.

  Run the command with cmd - a started with "run as Administrator"?
  Did you change directory in the installation directory WS first?
  The command runs without any messages.
  The output should be a 8 k file - just tested again on Win7 - 64 running WS 10.0.2

• Failed to export the virtual machine. Help please is urgent!

  Hello guys! I need your help.

  I tried to export a virtual machine in the .ova file but I got this error.

  

  So to start export didn t and it showed only in the taskbar without effect 'in progress'. Does anyone know how can I solved this problem?

  I would appreciate your help.

  It looks like an ISO image is configured for the virtual CD drive of the virtual machine. I suggest that you set the CD for 'Client' and check that 'Connected' is NOT checked.

• Virtual Center for a given host list

  OK, I'm sure that miss me something easy here so I'll throw out and see if someone can help.

  I'm trying to do a report on my hosts that lists the number of processor sockets, carrots VMS, cluster parent and Center Virtual parent.

  For the life of me I can't figure out how to find the virtual Center.

  I connect to multiple virtual centers like this connect-VIServer-Server Denver.myorg.com, Chicago.myorg.com, Savannah.myorg.com

  Greetings-

  I see.  Looks like that the property on the VMHostImpl object (returned by Get-VMHost) was not always there.  I was checking against an environment that has the API vSphere 5.1.  I saw, as you have said, that these other properties were not present during the test against an API v5.0 environment.

  So, Yes, as you said - the '. '. Client.ServiceUrl"property of the View object for the host has a string that can be used to infer the vCenter server name.  And, you can still access this property of the VMHostImpl object via the. ExtensionData property.  Something like:

  Get-VMHost | select Name,    @{n="vCenter"; e={($_.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl -replace "http[s]?://", "").Split("/")[0]}}
  

  What do I do?

• How to export a virtual computer to a bootable.iso

  Hi all

  I have VMware ESXi 5 installed with a running virtual machine.

  What I would like to ask you is if it is possible to export the virtual machine as

  a bootable .iso in order to be able to install it later on a dedicated server with the same settings of the virtual machine.

  Is this possible? How can I do?

  Thank you very much.

  Kind regards

  You will need to something like Norton Ghost or a similar tool.

• List virtual machines and their DNS server settings

  I try to list virtual machines and their primary and secondary DNS server addresses.  Are the cmdlets in vmware that can do this, or would I need to use the invoke-script command.  I have the list of virtual machines and I want to list them all with their DNS server addresses.

  I tried to use the wmi objects such as:

  Win32_networkadapterconfiguration get-wmiobject - computername "servername |

  Select name, DNSServerSearchOrder

  It would give me the specific server name and addresses of dns.

  But I need the list of servernames which I would like to list some and their

  DNSserversearchorder settings (DNS settings)

  I tried to put the servernames list in a text file using

  Get - vm | Export-csv C:\computername.txt - notype

  Then I used the get-content command and the pipe in the get-wmiobject

  command like below:

  $servers = get-Content c:\computername.txt

  ForEach ($server in $servers)

  {get-wmiobject Win32_networkadapterconfiguration - computername $server

  | where {$_.} IPEnabled-fits 'True'} | Select-object

  name, DNSServerSearchOrder

  But when I run this command fails with errors such as a pipe empty

  element is not allowed.  I don't know if the above script has all synatx

  error or what is the best way to get a list of servers and their dns server

  Parameters.

  I know the wmiobject maybe out of this range in these newsgroups but there at - it a script in powershell, vmware or windows powershell to get a list of servername (which are mostly VMS) and their DNS server settings.

  Try the following script to get the DNS search order:

  Get-Content c:\computername.txt | `
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-WMIObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Computername $_ | `
      Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -match "True"} | `
      Select-Object -property DNSHostName,DNSServerSearchOrder
  }

• Use of Virtual Center with SRM

  I plan to our implementation of the SRM and understand I need 1 Center Virtual Server in each site. At this moment I have a unique virtual center server that manages both sites.

  Am I right in thinking that I need to have only the hosts in a site connected to the virtual center server in the same site and the same thing on the other side?

  Right now I am able to stop a virtual machine in a site and make a cold migration from one data center to another.  My understanding is that I'll lose this feature by going to a multiple configuration of virtual center. Is this correct?

  Thank you!

  Yes, it's okay...

  A VC on the protected Site. A VC on the recovering Site.

  As an ESX host may not be a member of two VCs, at the same time - you will be able cold - migrates both...

  Exported to the OVF format and import using OVF are perhaps - an alternative...

• vFoglight 6.5 & multiple instances of Virtual Center

  Hi all

  Can someone help me to get rid of a version of Virtual Center vFoglight 6.5?  We have two entries there are several virtual machines, data warehouses, etc...  We recently had to re - build vCenter and I think that's when it started.

  Thank you.

  I think this is covered by this solution, just be careful because you can not revive a deleted object.

  Note that in the most recent versions of Foglight, data management is under management server | Servers | Data instead of Foglight management | Servers | Data management.
