Best way to remove a part of the description of the virtual machine?

Hello

With much help from Lucd, I created a script to add the version of the tools in the description.  It works fine, but the problem is that once he has run and added the version if it is run again, it simply adds the version once again.  I want to run this script on a schedule, once a night so little time I'll have a full description of the version of the tools

I have an if - execution of another OK but I want to do is remove the text of version pre-existing tools and then add the new.  See where I've 'done' on the fi.  It is where I want to get magic that willdo what I have to do.  I can not just blow all of the description because people have a habit of describing their servers it

$vm = get - machine virtual VMNAME

$description = $vm. Description

$date = get-date-format d

$version = ($vm |) Get - View).config.tools.toolsVersion

If ($description - match 'Tools worm') {virtual Set-machine - VM $vm - Description ("Already done" + "" + $description)-confirm: $false}

Else {virtual Set-machine - VM $vm - Description ("Tools $date $version worm." + "" + $description)-confirm: $false}

Any suggestions?

This is the date format. With my locale, I 31/03/2009 and you have 31/03/2009.

So, if you use the regular expression

'^Tools ver at (\d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}) (\d+)\. (.*)'

This should work for you use the date format.

  • What is the best way to remove a hum in the context of multiple clips

    I have about 40 short excerpts with the same buzz in the background. What is the best way to get rid of it? I know how to make a video, but I can do everything at the same time? When the workflow is the best time to do this? Should I use an adjustment layer?

    Thank you!

    I always do everything removing Hum as the first operation. As Bob says it depends on snoring, but if it's typical induced current then the DeHummer tool is the best to use. Once you have found the right settings you can save as a favorite and the use of batch processing to remove all clips at once.

  • Many "channels ATA" listed under "eject the material safely on the virtual machine.

    Hello world:

    Just create a new VM WIndows 7 Pro (clean install) as a guest in 10 Workstation running on a host windows system 7 Pro. When copying a large number of files over the network to a drive on data for the virtual machine, I noticed the noise of tale tell us to what looked like a point USB port being ejected and then reconnected. When I checked the icon 'Remove hardware safely' on the virtual machine there is a huge list indicating "Eject ATA channel 0" through channel 29? There don't seem to be valid items associated with these elements. There are also various other items that seem to be standard items for the virtual machine. I don't have it under other VM, although most of those that have been created in earlier versions of VMware Workstation and then upgraded to Workstation 10. Is this normal? Or something is running wild on this virtual machine?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Best regards, Dave Melnyk

    Hi Dave,.

    It is "normal" that the majority of our virtual PCI/PCIe and SATA devices are hot pluggable.  Another explanation (and workarounds, if you find it distracting) are in this thread: 10 Workstation: Windows 'Remove' Gone Wild

    We had a few questions about this lately, and we have had discussions on the question of whether we could eventually add a checkbox to control if these devices are default hot pluggable.

    In the meantime, feel free to ignore them or use the workarounds in the first thread I linked above.

    See you soon,.

  • How to check if the virtual machine is managed by vCloud Director

    Hello

    I need to find a way to check in Orchestrator so the virtual machine is managed by Director vCloud.

    I can't verify this with PowerCLI command below:

    (get - vm Vm_name *). ExtensionData.Config.ManagedBy.ExtensionKey

    Untitled.png

    .. .but my goal is to check in the orchestrator workflow.

    Help, please.

    You can get the same information from the VC:VirtualMachine object in vCO.

    Create a workflow or action with a named input of type vm VC:VirtualMachine and the snippet of code below would get the information you are looking for.

    var extensionKey = vm.config.managedBy.extensionKey;

    Not really--and this is not really surprising that this does not work in all cases. in fact, it is quite surprising that it works at all, in many ways. Obviously, the worst of the peaks of the break less information will be missing, and when the break comes to the point where the distortion is audible, then lot of data reconstruction is not just there for the software to make assumptions about - no cure so that it is possible.

    Only one pic is not too difficult to reconstruct - you have the slope of the wave of hand and on the other, and all you have to do is find where are the points of y-intercept of the two tracks, and who will be actually rebuild - probably quite precisely. But at the time wherever your clipped signal effectively contains two or more peaks, especially if they are part of a long harmonic, then reconstruction can actually do the distortion that you will inevitably get worse. This is because the software only attempts to reconstruct the waveform of the tracks on part and on the other of the clip, (information) as well as harmonic any expected have been there becomes altered, virtually useful - where increased distortion.

  • Best way to remove the LUN of ESXi 4.1?

    I know that KB 1015084 talks unpresenting a LUN that contains a store of an ESX/ESXi 4.x host data without deleting the contents of the data store.

    What is the proper procedure to remove LUNS if:

    (a) I moved ALL virtual machines off the LUN to the other storage (DAS, NFS)?

    (b) the SAN will have his replaced controllers (2012i G1 upgrade controllers of P2000 G3 MSA)?

    Thank you, Tom

    If you have empty LUNS that you no longer use, simply remove them from your inventory. Once they have been removed from inventory, have your team of storage not present and remove zoning.  From there rescan your storage adapters to make sure you can't see the LUNS in question

    Hello

    If you want to remove all the lines, then nothing can TRUNCATE TABLE for performance.  You cannot RESTORE a DML, as TRUNCATE TABLE operation, that's why it's so fast: he doesn't have to remember what has been deleted.  TRUNCATE TABLE will leave privileges, constraints, triggers, and intact the table storage parameters.

    How many lines will remain in the table? Maybe create a new table using ETG and exchange the original after the operation table would be more efficient (if the table is not in permanent access).

    If you talk about string manipulation, you can use the Split() method, such as:

    scooby
    

    It doubles up on the character (a period) and then accesses the first element of the resulting matrix.  Is - for what you are looking for?

    The easiest way is to copy a virtual machine and it associated the file and when you move it over a data store different and you just update the descriptor entries + VMDK file VMX, one thing people forget to do is also updating uuid.location that refers to the data UUID store. When you try to turn on the virtual machine, you will always have a question asking if you want to

    (1) cancel

    (2) I_moved it

    (3) I_copied it

    Now to replicate this and always get it without copying files is quite simple and takes< 1min.="" create="" a="" dummy="" vm,="" call="" it="" whatever="" and="" you="" don't="" even="" need="" to="" allocate="" much="" space,="" 1gb="" thin="" will="" do.="" you'll="" then="" want="" to="" unregister="" the="" vm,="" right="" click="" and="" remove="" from="" inventory,="" don't="" delete.="" now,="" you'll="" need="" console="" access="" to="" the="" vm's="" .vmx="" file,="" use="" either="" the="" classic="" esx="" service="" console="" or="" unsupported="" busybox="" console.="" if="" you="" have="" access="" to="" neither,="" then="" you="" can="" use="" the="" datastore="" browser="" to="" download="" the="" .vmx="" and="" make="" your="" changes="" and="">

    I'll assume you have console access, go to the data store where the configuration of the virtual machine is stored. Edit the file and look for the entry "uuid.location" and simply change the first two numbers to do anything, say 11 and then save the file. Now return to the store of data browser and re - register your virtual machine, your VM should now appear once again and then try to turn on the virtual computer. If everything was done correctly, you will get a question arises for the virtual machine and it will not until he said.

    You can probably even write a shell script that will copy a backup .vmx file and re-save to automate this process as you write your script/program.

  • Best way to back up the virtual machine

    What better way to back up a virtual machine with snapshots?

    I have copied the VM directory to a backup folder, but then had problems to restore.  Just right?

    Not sure if it was because of the way the backup that I did.

    Sorry my English!

    It is recommended to create the snapshot with the VM or disable?

    Snapshots can be created with the virtual machine or not. With the virtual machine running, it may take more time to create the snapshot, and you won't 'lose' disk space, due to the State of memory that will be instantaneous.

    When possible, I recommend you take the snapshot with the virtual machine power off.
