Change the name of 'pending of interaction' vcenter Web Client

Our VM application process has a simple custom web form that triggers a query XML in our environment of VCO, where he sits and waits admins to configure the computer virtual based on requirements.  While he is there, the text is a very non-utile ' ProvisionVM: Site check ' which is workflowName:Step.  He also later stops to an intermediate step which cannot be rolled in the first presentation.

My question is if it is a good way to define the name displayed in the web client to vCenter to something dynamic in the settings.  What I really want to do, is to do like workflowName:RequestedName:Step, or something on that order.  Basically, I would like to be able to say, on this first page, what has been the past in the name of the virtual machine.  If I click in a few pages, I see that there is in it, but that is a bit complicated and then I may have to browse all other tracks to see the tracks on hold.

Currently, there is no way. But I agree that having a bit more dynamism in the presentation could be useful in some cases to use, so we can consider it for future versions.

  • Need to change the name from vCenter through code

    Hi all

    I can't understand this, I hope that this is a real simple thing to do. I need to change the name of the vCenter, like what's in the screenshots below, but using the powershell code

    http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/8596/vcenternamechange.JPG

    can someone show me how it's done?

    See you soon!

    Depending on whether you have vCenter, Update Manager, and licenses executed on the same host server, it is not a simple operation.

    See for example KB1006843.

    To emulate the rename also can be done by vSphere Client is simple.

    You must be connected to the vCenter.

    $optMgr = Get-View (Get-View ServiceInstance).Content.Setting
    $optVal = New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue
    $optVal.Key = "VirtualCenter.InstanceName"
    $optVal.Value = 
    $optMgr.UpdateOptions($optVal)

  • How to change the name of a volume iSCSI target?

    How the name of a volume iSCSI target can be changed?  I created a volume with a typo in a letter.   The volume production data on it now so I can not just it delete and recreate the problem.   It's not a big deal, but it doesn't look good either.

    It's on a PS6100.   When I go into the properties of the Volume in the advance tab I can see the iSCSI name, but cannot change it.  All I change is the public alias.  But it does no good that the name appears in the vCenter with the misspelled name.

    So how can I change the iSCSI name?

    Or am I stuck creating a new volume and telling them to migrate their data for spelling can be fixed?

    See you soon

    Part of the iSCSI specification is that target names must be unique.  Therefore, once created, you cannot change the name of the volume.

    Kind regards

  • Change the name of files and folders in data warehouses

    Is it safe while a virtual machine is running to change the name of the VMDK files and folders in a data store?

    I discovered that a VMS VMDK files have a different name for the virtual machine itself, then someone changed the name of the virtual machine after you have created the records

    I had to do it a few times, will try to document the process that I follow.  If you have many warehouses of data, then make a note of what data store, the machine is in.  The next step is to unregister the virtual machine from vCenter / ESXi

    Then, you need to enable SSH on your ESXi host

    Use Putty or something similar for you connect to the ESXi host

    Run the following commands (in italics)

    cd vmfs/volumes / that is, if the data store that contains the virtual computer is named datastore1 then you would run cd/vmfs/volumes/datastore1

    Then run ls to verify that the virtual machine file is here

    Rename the folder by using mv

    Change to the folder with cd

    Rename the nvram, vmsd, vmx and running again is to say the mv

    MV oldname.nvram newname.nvram

    MV oldname.vmsd newname.vmsd

    MV oldname.vmx newname.vmx

    MV 1234.hlog - oldname newname - 1234.hlog

    Rename the vmdk with vmkfstools EI oldname.vmdk newname.vmdk

    Edit the vmx with vi newname.vmx

    Replace references to oldname to newname in this file

    Register the virtual machine with the ESXi server and it should be OK

    ---------------

    The cmdlet Get - Log do not create the destination folder if it does not exist, so you will need to test for this condition.

    AFAIK, you don't need to connect to each ESXi individually when you are connected to the vCenter.

    Since the discharge of generated log file name is rather cryptic, I rename the file normally and add a timestamp.

    You could do something like that

    $clusterName = "mycluster.

    $FilePath = 'S:\Get-Logs\Logs\$($clusterName) ".

    If (!) ((Test-Path-path $FilePath)))

    {

    Novelty - ItemType Directory - Path $FilePath

    }

    $varHost = get-Cluster-name $cluserName | Get-VMHost

    {foreach ($ESX to $varHost)

    $destPath = "$($FilePath)-$($ESX.). Name.Split('.') [0])"

    If (!) ((Test-Path-path $destPath)))

    {

    Novelty - ItemType Directory - Path $destPath

    }

    $logName = get - Log - VMHost $ESX - Bundle - DestinationPath $destPath

    If ($LogName)

    {

    Rename-Item - Path $logName - NewName "$($destPath)-$($ESX.). Name.Split('.') [0])-$((Get-Date).) ToString('yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm')).

    }

  • Change the name of a data store?

    Hello

    Is it possible to change the display name of a data store NFS I have 8 nodes in a cluster connected to?  This is for aesthetic reasons only - consistency of the naming convention.  Just curious, if I renamed the store of data for data store in vSphere VCenter, did change the display name for each host?  Or I have to change the display name to each host using the "hosts and Clusters".  Just curious to know if I can do that, while virtual machines are run with no negative effect... or should I stop literally all of the virtual machines to do this.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can change the name of data warehouses (NFS, iSCSI, FC etc.) at any time and without any negative effects.

  • Change the name of the client VM with PowerShell

    Hello

    I'm in a bit of trouble with a script PowerCLI so maybe some of you can help me because I just watched using PowerCLI. I work for a software company witch it assign tests, and I need to configure virtual machines in our data center. I managed to create a script for virtual machine cloning, but I need someone else to change the name of the guest OS (XP, 2008, 7) with the name of the virtual machine that appears in vCenter. I found a command "-OSCustomizationSpec", but it does not work for me ( http://communities.vmware.com/message/1562254 ).

    Thanks in advance

    Greetings, @adispy-

    Background, in case you didn't know: to use the parameter - OSCustomizationSpec to New-VM or Set-VM, you must have an OSCustomizationSpec (OSC) of some sort.  A couple of ways that you can create a CSOS: in vCenter via either the client vSphere (Home-> Manager Customization specifications), or in PowerShell via New-OSCustomizationSpec.  This cmdlet also lets you create a non-persistent OSC that exists only in your PowerShell session.

    Once you have a valid OSC, you can apply it to the new VM to deploy time (using New - VM either clone an existing virtual machine or to deploy from a model), or after the new virtual machine is deployed using Set-VM.

  • Change the name of the file of "Import.xls" selection in Applescript

    Hi, I'm a tiger, but I try to change the name of a file in a folder (which can be any name that is) a name known.  In the end, just trying to import a file known to filemaker and need the name to be a known name.  That's what I have so far, but I have simply not success.  This goes to the folder 2 window and selects the first file... no problem, but, I can't seem to change the name of 'import.xls '.  Only excel files will be present in this folder, so I'm not worried about it.

    The other thing I would do is if there is no file in this folder to jump above everything and do nothing.

    Thanks for your help!

    Tell application "Finder".

    activate

    the value target of Finder window 2 to folder "Orders_to_Enter" of folder "Documents" of the file 'MINIJOHN'from folder 'Users' of startup disk

    Select the first file of the window of Finder 2

    Try

    the value the name of the selection of "IMPORT.xls".

    end try

    end say

    Hello

    No need to manipulate the selection. You can just write something like this:

    set d to (path to documents folder as string) & "Orders_to_Enter:" as alias
    tell application "Finder"
        --open item d -- optional
        tell (item d's file 1 whose name extension = "xls")

  • How can I change the name of the ion HD my Time Capsule airport

    My time capsule airport has changed its name to data and now I can't use it. What can I do?

    Not sure why you can't use 'Data' as the name of the disk hard Time Capsule, since it is the default value.

    But, if you want to change the name of 'Data' to something else...

    Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

    Click on the image of the time Capsule

    Click on edit in the window that appears

    Click the disks at the top of the next window

    Next to Partitions, you will see "Data".

    Click directly on the name of 'Data' and the box will change to allow you to edit the name, just as you can change the name of any other player

    In the example below, I changed the name of the drive 'safeguards '.

    Click Update at the bottom right of the window to save the changes you have made
