Batch file for migration and closing the virtual computer

Hello, currently my company uses visualization of network monitoring software that allows us to react when certain thresholds are exceeded. We seek to define a threshold for when our UPS reaches a certain point (i.e. a point where the battery is discharged) and we would like to run a script or batch file that stops certain s VM, migrate some s VM for a single host and stop some ESX hosts. We want to create as much time as possible for our virtual machines essential.  I came across this tool and wonder if someone has done something similar? I'm not very familiar with batch files, and I'm fighting to run second and third commands. My current batch file looks like this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe - PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" - NoExit-command ' Connect-VIServer VIServer-user 'exampleusername'-'examplepassword' password ' I can't run additional commands after connection. As I said I'm not very good with batch files and I am new with this program.   If someone could point me in the right direction of the execution of the additional commands from a batch file after you have connected the script above, I would appreciate it a lot.
I also would be interested in other ideas, if others have done similar things for the same purpose.
Thank you very much!

Instead of real orders of PS during the invocation of PowerShell, you might call a. Ps1 script that contains all of the instructions of PS.

To call the script from a command file, you can do something like this

C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" c:\your_script.ps1

  • Is there a setting for auto-start on the virtual machines on the blackout?

    I was wondering if there is an auto on when the server has no juice because of a power failure. I do not mean the actual physical vm server, but the VM themselves on the physical server. Power outages happen always when I get to a computer for vpn in the VCenter.

    Thank you

    Gary

    Yes, it is possible

    -In the vSphere client, select the ESX/ESXi host,

    -Go to the configuration tab.

    -Select in the software section, the option to start/stop the virtual machine.

    -Click on properties on the right of the screen.

    -Activate the option "allow virtual machines to start and stop automatically with the system."

    -Select the virtual machine and move the virtual computer in the correct startup group.

    I have attached a few screenshots.

    Best wishes / Saludos

  • Script to rename the virtual computer by name DNS listed in VC

    I am very new to powershell, and I tried to understand this by using pieces of code I found, but nothing helped.

    I'm looking for a script to take the given DNS host name for a virtual machine listed in VCenter and rename the virtual computer.

    For example.

    Host01VM01 (as shown in Vcenter) - the DNS name of the "something.xyz.com".   VM and rename it "something.xyz.com" in Vcenter.

    To run the script only for a group called "Mycluster" you can do:

    Get-Cluster "My Cluster" | Get-VM | `
    Where-Object { $_.Guest.HostName } | `
    ForEach-Object { Set-VM -VM $_ -Name $_.Guest.HostName -Confirm:$false }
    

    This script will only work for VMS that have installed VMware tools and probably only for VM which are turned on.

  • Moving the virtual computer configuration file and work on the clone of the model

    Using the VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator to move disks from different NFS data warehouses when cloning a model looks very good work.  However, the Virtual Machine configuration file and the location of work remain on their original NFS data storage, not moving with the root of the drive.

    If this move not all together, or am I missing a step here?

    Thank you

    Scott

    Specifying the "data store" in VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator specifies the location of the VM virtual disks only. To move the virtual machine, it might also be necessary to specify "datastore" property of "VirtualMachineRelocateSpec. If this is not specified, the current data store is used to store the files of the virtual computer.

  • Reload the Configuration of the virtual computer after changing the VMX file

    Hello

    If I make changes to a file on a virtual machine's .vmx in vCenter 5.5 is automatically valid configuration for the engine power vm off? I made some changes earlier and it seemed to be the case, but one of the steps that I see in some of the documents is to reload the configuration of the vm, so it can be used appropriately. So this happens automatically or not?

  • Move-vm can migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

    When I try to move-vm has propelled off VM to a destination of DRS cluster, he says that he cannot migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster.   I can explicitly name the destination of the host and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using the DRS and forces me to script on the destination hosts.

    I do something wrong or I would be able to migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

    Thank you

    -MattG

    Hello, MattG-

    I get the same behavior as you when you try to move a VM PoweredOff to a DRS cluster, specifying the cluster as the value for the parameter - Destination to Move-VM (using PowerCLI v5.1 Rel 2 v5.5 Rel 1).  Not quite what I expected.

    To work around the problem, and without having to appoint a particular host as destination, you could use some Get-Random, do something like:

    Move-VM myVM0 -Destination (Get-Cluster myDestDRSCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.State -eq "Connected"} | Get-Random) -RunAsync
    

    Who should receive the machine said cluster and on a host that is in the connected state.  A subsequent operation to the market (whenever do you eventually) should then see DRS power on the virtual machine on a suitable host in the cluster.

    Maybe the dev team can comment if this behavior is the expected or desired.

    Anyway, how does do for you?

  • After the Virtual Machine is hot migrated lose the reference to the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)

    Hello

    In my VB.Net application, I retrieve the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine) through scripting Powershell VI.

    If the Virtual Machine is migrated to another host (hotmigrate) I receive an event (VMware.Vim.VmMigratedEvent), which also holds the moref of the Virtual Machine. I tried to use the updateview method to refresh the virtual computer object but failed with an error message stating that the object could not be found, or never existed.

    I also tried to recover the virtual computer object again, throug the method Client.GetView and the moref returned by the event, but the same error message.

    How can I get my hands on the virtual computer object or update after migration to another host takes place. I have to get it back again? It would be great if I could do it somhow with information from moref I hold the event!

    Any help is appreciated!

    Concerning

    Sorry, but I can only show you how to do this in PowerShell.

    I use the purpose of the task to get to the prompt MoRef.

    Here's how:

    $vmName = 
    $tgtHost = 
    $tgtPool = 
    
    $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
    $poolMoRef = (Get-ResourcePool $tgtPool | Get-View).MoRef
    $esxMoRef = (Get-VMHost $tgtHost | Get-View).MoRef
    
    $task= Get-View ($vm.MigrateVM_Task($poolMoRef, $esxMoRef, "lowPriority", "poweredOn"))
    
    while($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queuing"){
      $task.UpdateViewData()
    }
    
    $vmImpl = Get-VIObjectByVIView -MORef $task.Info.Entity
    

    I don't know how you get at the VmMigratedEvent event, but the MoRef in there is pointing to the correct prompt.

    In the following script, I extracted all the events related to the task of vMigrate immediately after the vMigrate task finished

    function Print-VmName{
         param($event)
    
         $MoRef = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
         $MoRef.Type = $event.vm.vm.type
         $MoRef.Value = $event.vm.vm.Value
         $vm = Get-View $MoRef
         Write-Host $vm.Name
    }
    
    $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).addminutes(-15)
    $events | % {
         $event = $_
         $eventType = $_.GetType().Name
         switch ($eventType){
              "VmMigratedEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "VmEmigratingEvent"{
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "VmBeingHotMigratedEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
              "TaskEvent" {
                   $eventType
                   Print-VmName $event
              }
