Backup feature of virtual machine for the virtual machines that are part of a paralytic

In the powerclibook I found the backup-vm very useful function (Chapter 10)

I do not post the direct link to the function because I don't know if this is allowed.

You will find the function if you follow http://www.powerclibook.com/

I wonder if this could be changed to backup vms several that are part of a paralytic.

Thanks for help.

Hi Andreas, no problem mentioning the link since we already published as well in our PowerCLI book: download Scripts, functions and Modules post.

Regarding your question, you can try something like this

Get-VM-location (Get-VAPP-name MyvApp). %{

Backup-VM - VM $_ - Datastore (Get-data store MyDS

)

  • The list of all the Resource Pools that are part of a group of ESXi

    Hello

    I'm trying to get a piece of code work that will list all the resource pools that are present in a cluster of ESXi.

    • I know I can find what list of resources of a virtual machine resides in.  I don't want that.

    // Find a matching resource pool on an ESXi hosts
      var esxiCluster = esxiHost.parent;
      var esxiClusterResourcePools = esxiCluster.resourcePool_ResourcePool;
    
    
      System.log("what is the ESXi cluster: " + esxiCluster.name);
      System.log("vimtype: " + esxiCluster.vimType);
      System.log("what pools exists: " + esxiClusterResourcePools);
    

    So I know that the vimType will come back with what I expect (ClusterComputeResource).  The question I have is the object "resourcePool" is reference to the root resource list (in my case, it is 'resources').

    What I want is all DRS resource pools are configured.  I need something like "resourcePool_ResourcePool.children".

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Check if this code example that works in your case:

    var esxiCluster = esxiHost.parent;
    var esxiClusterResourcePools = esxiCluster.resourcePool_ResourcePool;
    var pools = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.resourcePool").getAllChildResourcePool(esxiClusterResourcePools);
    
    // dump names of child pools
    for each (var pool in pools) {
      System.log(pool.name);
    }

  • Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

    Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

    # #SCRIPT_START

    $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

    $Import = import-csv $file

    $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

    $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

    $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

    $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

    Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

    Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

    # #SCRIPT_END

    You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

    An example of this cmdley

    New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

    In your case, you could do

    Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

    But beware of negative numbers.

  • How can I recover my pc for the first time that I bought?

    Hello
    How can I recover my pc for the first time that I bought? because my pc is so slow... I have a compaq laptop cq61... and I want to set up the first time... How can I?  I don't have a recovery disk because when I bought it dosnt have a recovery in it disc. Please help me. Thank you

    Hello

    I'm happy to help you

    Glancing at the screen shot you posted, your looks of partition fine recovery (recovery (D).

    Save your files on an external hard drive or flash drive (depending on how many you have).

    Once that is done, disconnect all connected to your PC, but the AC adapter.

    Start the PC and the HP welcome screen, press the F11 key to start the Recovery dialog box and follow the prompts.

    It should take 15 to 30 minutes and your PC needs to be restored to its factory settings.

    Then just reinstall all programs and files that does not come with the PC.

    You will need the files or the installation of program diskettes. You cannot back up installed programs and reinstall them using a backup.

  • Smart phone BlackBerry Smartphones does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Blackberry App World

    Hello

    I just all new BB Curve 8900 on Vodafone. Its the first BB I've owned and I seem to have a bit of trouble. When I try to download the App World, I get the following error message:

    "Device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Blackberry App World"

    How can this be?

    OK then... interesting for Vodafone to push support far... Well, by I guess.

    So I guess that I change their instructions... rather than to remove an installed version of the AppWorld in the way they suggest, I suggest go to:

    Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Applications

    See if BB AppWorld is listed as installed. If so, highlight (but do not click) it and then press the BBKey and select Delete. If she wasn't there, then continue on these steps.

    Then do a batt pull reboot:

    With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.

    Then re - activate your THS:

    Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table > BBKey > sign up now

    Then re - send all the service books:

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02830&SLIC...

    Then do another reboot batt-pop.

    Then, get a new link for AppWorld from here:

    http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp#tab_tab_download

    And re - download and install it.

    I hope it's going to go right. If not, then it could still be useful a call to Vodafone...

    See you soon!

    There are two non-obvious ways to find photos that are not in any regular collection of (non-puce):

    1. to add all these photos in the quick Collection:

    1. In the catalog Panel, right click on the Collection quick and make clear quick Collection.
    2. In the catalog Panel, select all photographs.
    3. Photo > stacking > expand all stacks.
    4. In the Collections Panel, select all collections by clicking on the first collection and then shift-click on the last one. If you don't want to include smart collections, then Ctrl/Cmd-click on them in order to exclude them.
    5. Edition > select all.
    6. In the catalog Panel, select all photographs.
    7. Edition > reverse selection.
    8. Photo > add to quick Collection.

    2 create a smart collection with the following criteria:

  • Script to replace the small caps that are typed in capital letters with capital letters (A = > a, B = > b, etc...)

    I am looking for a way to replace the small caps that are typed in capital letters by their normal equivalents.

    I have a text that contains many names that should all be set in small capitals.

    In fact, they are, but because the letters are used for the first letters that they don't fit.

    In short: I would like to be able to look for A, B, c... (in small capitals) and replace them with (a, b, c...) in small capitals only once.

    (compare two tables?-> is this possible in indesign scripting)
