Can not find templates of virtual machine by using the command 'Get Template '.

Hi all

My apologies if this question was asked before, but not could not find any information about this.

For some reason when I use the command Get-model PowerCLI I get no results even though I have models on the data store. Using a command such as Get - VM works as expected, but for some reason that the command Get-model just can't find anything. There is something pressing that I may have missed in my virtual environment configuration?

The environment consists of a data center with a 5.1 ESXi host and several virtual machines residing on it. I also have a virtual appliance of vCenter to manage the host.

Thank you

Matt

Hi Matt,

When you run Connect-VIServer, you connect to the server ESXi and vCenter?

I just tested the two:

  • SE connect-VIServer-ESXi Server

    • Get-model didn't recover all data
  • SE connect-VIServer-Server vCenter
    • Get model retrieved data

Maybe that's the case?

Hope this helps,

Steven.

    Hello George,.

    order on the nested virtual machines, you must set monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"

  • I can't find instructions on setting up or using the keyboard Microsoft Wireless Comfort 1. 0a.

    I can't find instructions on setting up or using the keyboard Microsoft Wireless Comfort 1. 0a.  I GOOGLED it but the only reference I find tells me to go to the download page on the Microsoft Web site for this product.  I went to this site and the only thing it is limited warranty info and Product Guide.  I downloaded the Product Guide, but it only covers the basic information like it do not immerse in water, do not take part and the various regulations of the FCC about the product.  There is no info in this guide on how to configure or use the keyboard AT ALL.  Guidance on how to use this product is probably somewhere?

    The dongle is not plug it into the keyboard, it plugs into the USB port on the computer.  Wireless keyboards is not related to them - think of that.  :-)

    If you are missing parts to the keyboard, I would just buy a new one.  You can buy wired keyboards for as little as $4 these days, wireless are a little more expensive of course.  Personally, I find the wireless keyboards to be a pain because the batteries always come out in one in-opportune times.  YMMV

    Good luck.

  • How can I connect to a virtual machine that uses a NAT map from outside via RDP

    Hi, I'm under workstation 7.11. I have a windows xp virtual machines all use adapter NAT of VMware Workstation for connectivity. I am only able to connect to the VMs with RDP client via the host. If I try to anywhere else, I am unable to connect.

    You can use linked by a bridge instead of NAT?  If this isn't the case, you need to enable Port Forwarding on the VMnet in the virtual network Editor.  FWIW, if you do not enable Port Forwarding I recommend setting up on a VMnet custom as VMnet2 example and assign the NIC of the virtual machine.  This keep the default VMnet8 for an unaltered NAT network.

    Default port for RDP is TCP 3389

    My code already gets a handle to the virtual computer object (using the code snippet below) I can get the hostname.  Is there anyway to determine which cluster this host resides on, for example, is there a property of the virtual computer object that can be used to get this info?

  • Can not find templates of pages in the file 5.6.2

    I recorded a Pages file as a new model, using the dialog Add to the list of templates . In the Pages, the new model appears in the model picker as 'Model Tech Blog'. Now I want to copy to another Mac. But where the actual file? I tried to use SpotLight to search the model name, but the projector could not find. I then looked at several places on my Mac where other people seem to think it should be...

    I looked here:

    / Users/Mike/library/containers /- but there is no file called com.apple.iWorks.pages

    And here:

    / Users/Mike/Library/Application Support - but there is no folder called iWork

    And here:

    /Applications/pages.app/Contents/resources--qui lists 807 items, but none of my models

    And here:

    /Applications/pages.app/Contents/SharedSupport/templates--qui lists the 114 elements, but none of my models

    Of the above, you can see that it is not in one of the usual places. So where's my guarded model file?

    Models of 5 user Pages are stored in:

    ~/Library/containers/com. Apple.iWork.pages (right click, view the contents of the package) data/Library/Application Support / User Templates.

  • It can not find my model of laptop HP on the HP Forum or the site?

    My daughter gave me his old laptop when she upgraded to a new.

    I can't find it on the list of HP laptops to update the drivers and so on. It's a HP Pavilion dv6-2144TX, it works under windows 7 and is 32 bits.

    I typed in the model, product number and serial No., but the closest of my model is dv6-1244TX. I have checked and rechecked, put me on the glasses for reading and triple checked. The label under the laptop is also new that and clearly legible.

    The only difference is the 12 and 21 on model number. Error? Misspelling?

    Any help would be appreciated, it has left me speechless?

    One for the road, don't think that I will never get this roundabout *.

    Is this the HP Pavilion dv6-2144tx Entertainment Notebook computer you are referring to?

  • Create the virtual machine by using the file PowerCLI and csv

    I know there is a lot of info out there on this and I think I have a working script prety good.  Much was borrowed from this thread, http://communities.vmware.com/thread/315193 many thanks to LucD.

    My code is as follows:

    # Deploy virtual machines from CSV file
    # Much borrowed from http://communities.VMware.com/thread/315193?start=15 & tstart = 0


    # CSV import file
    Import-Csv "C:\guests.csv" - UseCulture | %{

    -Datastore $_. Data store - OSCustomizationSpec $_. Customization"
    -Confirm: $false - RunAsync
    ## .......
    }

    He's going to cross and clone the virtual machine, and looks like he's running of the OSCustomizaitonSpec then it bombards.  It cleans bad VM.  Recent tasks shows "failed virtual machine clone that a specified parapeter was not correct." hostname ".

    The problem is that I don't mean to set a hostname with the OSCustomixationSpec, I try only to IP address info.

    I'm runningn PowerCLI 5.0.1 build 581491

    My ESXi host is 5.0.0 build 914586

    My vCenter Server is Ver 5.0.0 build 623373

    I opened a new thread, because the age of the old thread.  Not sure if this is the best way to do things.

    A very simple and intuitive brake system :-)

    You can be more selective about the current jobs. For example, you can check if the name of the job shows that they are actually cloning jobs.

  • Failed to retrieve more than 100 virtual machines by using the method PropertyCollector and WaitForUpdatesEx

    With vSphere SDK for .NET. Sorry, could not find a forum .NET for vSphere SDK, but the Java forum should be close enough.

    I have problems of retrieval of a list of virtual machines from a Pool of resources. More precisely, if there are more than 100 mV (104 in my case) in the folder or the Pool of resources returned UpdateSet can have 100 items in there.

    The offending code is the following:

    UpdateSet uSet = pc. WaitForUpdatesEx (string. Empty, new WaitOptions() {MaxWaitSeconds = 0});
    Console.Writeline (uSet.FilterSet [0].) ObjectSet.Count); will always contain no more than 100 items

    It seems to be a difficult cut off the coast of 100 items.
    WaitOptions of WaitForUpdatesEx contains a property of MaxObjectUpdates of literature

    "The maximum number of entries in ObjectUpdate which must be returned in a single result of WaitForUpdatesEx. See truncated

    An undefined value indicates that there is no maximum. In this case political PropertyCollector can still limit the number of objects that appear in a UpdateSet. »

    But what is the policy of 'PropertyCollector' that it is? I've been trawling the web and will find absolutely no mention of this in all others in the documentation.

    I also tried to put right in a a MaxObjectUpdates = 150 just to see what would happen. Yet once only 100 items returned.

    For reference, here's a more complete article of the code:

    EntityViewBase folderMngObj = GetVsphereVmFolderManagedObjectRefId (vClient, vSpherefolderName);

    If (folderMngObj! = null)
         {
    ManagedObjectReference svcRef = new ManagedObjectReference() {Type = 'ServiceInstance', Value = 'ServiceInstance'};
    SrvInst ServiceInstance = new ServiceInstance (vClient, svcRef);

    ServiceContent sContent = srvInst.RetrieveServiceContent ();
    ViewManager viewManager = new ViewManager (vClient, sContent.ViewManager);
    PropertyCollector pc = new PropertyCollector (vClient, sContent.PropertyCollector);

    ManagedObjectReference cvMngObjRef = viewManager.CreateContainerView (folderMngObj.MoRef, new String() {"VirtualMachine"}, false);
    ContainerView cv = new ContainerView (vClient, cvMngObjRef);
    PropertySpecList list < PropertySpec > = gcnew List < PropertySpec > ();

    foreach (string propertyPath in vmPropertyPaths)
              {
    PropertySpec propSpec = new PropertySpec();
    propSpec.PathSet = new String() {propertyPath ;} }
    propSpec.Type = 'VirtualMachine';
    propertySpecList.Add (propSpec);
              }

    PropertySpec [] propertySpecs = propertySpecList.ToArray ();
    PropertyFilterSpec pfs = new PropertyFilterSpec();
              pfs. ObjectSet = new ObjectSpec [] {CreateObjSpec (cv)};
              pfs. PropSet = propertySpecs;

    / / Create a property with partialUpdate is true
    PropertyFilter pf = new PropertyFilter (vClient, pc. CreateFilter (pfs, true));

    / / Wait that initial udpate with the version string empty
    UpdateSet uSet = pc. WaitForUpdatesEx (string. Vacuum, new WaitOptions() {MaxWaitSeconds = 0})

    / / Here uSet.FilterSet [0]. ObjectSet will always contain not more than 100 items

    viewTable = OutputDataset (uSet);
              pf. DestroyPropertyFilter();
    }

    Any help would be appreciated.

    What is the value of the indicator "truncated" in the returned UpdateSet?

    http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/VC-SDK/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vmodl.query.PropertyCollector.UpdateSet.html#truncated

    If set to true, you must call waitForUpdatesEx (with the version of the UpdateSet) back to get the rest updates.

  • What are the limits of size of virtual machine to use the mode of transport NBD in VADP?

    We have some problem to run backup VADP with EMC² Networker 7.6.2 with a virtual machine which, in total, amounts to about 2.3 TB of data.
    The configuration is the following:

    VM (file server) running on Windows 2008 R2

    The backup server (physical) is running Networker 7.6.2 and is also host to proxy for backups VADP.

    VMware vSphere, ESXi 4.1 Update 1

    When we make a snapshot of the file server ESX, no problem.
    When we try a support VADP through Networker, it fails with the following error:

    Someone told me that the business day following a certain limits on the size of the virtual machine.
    He said when he sized VM is equal to 1 TB or more, we should NOT use NBD.

    Anyone explain to me or provide me with evidence?

    Yes, I think it's the best option, visitors don't like the 'limits' much, then maybe look into the SAN transport mode
