Check if host are connected to Virtual Center, not a cmdlet command, but from a file

Sometimes, I have to work on a list of hosts that are part of Virtual Center. But are are not organized in glomeruli or records or any cmdlet that I can call.

So sometimes I run scripts based on the list generated by the user below is an example of the code how I work against the list of hosts.

$list = Get-Content "C:\Program Files\PowerGUI\goodhost1.txt".

ForEach ($server in $list) {($luns = Get-ScsiLun -Server $vcs -VmHost $server)}

Sometimes these Listehotes can come from a database. The database sometimes misspells the hostname. So before working on the host I ping them and generate a list of capable host computer ping and not able ping.  Those who were not able to ping usually strike fault in the host name, and I would easily fix those and put them in a master host list.

So in essence, my script runs when I have a master host list. But when the host is not connected in Virtual Center my script breaks. So, I have to go change my master host list and get him out of the host that the script has run on including that which has not been connected and re-run the script. Kind of pain.

So what I'm looking for is a code example or idea on how to check if the list of my host against virtual center to see if its already connected.

When you work with the cmdlets I use something like this

Get-vmhost | where {$_.} State - eq 'Connected'}

I could do something similar? With my own list.

Thank you

Oh sure!

Get-VMHost | Where {((Get-Content "D:\scripts\hostsfile.txt") -contains $_.Name) -and ($_.State -eq "Connected")}

  • Cannot perform any action on an ESX connected to Virtual Center Server

    Hi all

    I have an ESX Server which shows connected to my Virtual Center. I can access the virtual machines that are on the ESX of Virtual Center Server. However, none of the commands are available for the ESX Server when selected or by using a right-click on the mouse when the server is selected. All that shows is the summary of the report and the performance report all others are gray.

    I stop all VMs and you restart the ESX Server. Always displays the same State. Can someone provide suggestions about where to look to fix this problem.

    Thank you

    I would check your permissions - you are not these permissions at the host level.

  • IVI go check if routes are connected

    Trying to connect a route connected already will generate an error.

    What is the best way to check if a group of route is connected before you try to establish a connection?

    I m using IVI and Switch Executive to connect/disconnect the route groups.

    Try to build a switch sequence something like that.

    Get the name of the group as an argument road. First, check if the routing group is connected (avoiding an error). If not, connect the Group itinerary, otherwise do nothing.

    Using the 'Get information' operation and entering the "route"(not groupe) in the channel 1 and channel 2 and checking the status seems to work ".

    But it seems to work by using road names (not the itinerary for group names).

    And I can't find how to resolve route of group names to links using IVI switch stage. (can make using Labview. but you can't combine LV IVI and IVI switch)

    PER DAY

    You are looking for routes multiconnect. This is a setting that you can configure in the NI Switch Executive (NISE) for routes individually.

    Enabling this setting allows a road linking several times without generating the error that you have mentioned.

    However, a way of opening must be as often that you closed before. It is the task of the calling application to keep track on how many times you have closed or you just repreat by opening the road until you get an error of NISE.

    I think that already there is the feature request NISE stores the number of closures by route and add functions to query this information. Unfortunately, I have found it in less than a minute so maybe you want to spend more time to find. If you can't find, please do not hesitate to post (in the idea exchange forums!).

    Since a few hours ago, I click on the download links are not processed as expected:

    -downloads TO start even if files are downloaded SILENTLY in the folder Temp (C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\Temp) as a .part files (and stay there when the download is complete)

  • Considerations of Design for the U1 Virtual Center 6.0

    any guy insight

    Thank you

    Hi Ibrahim.

    My first suggestion to you is to follow the recommendations of Cisco, associated with latency problems.

    hostname (config) #-group attributes policy
    hostname (config-Group-Policy) #webvpn
    hostname (config-group-webvpn) select #svc dtls
    hostname (config-group-webvpn) #svc df-bit-ignore enable
    hostname (config-group-webvpn) #svc routing-filtering-ignore enable
    hostname (config-group-webvpn) mtu #svc 1200
    hostname (config-group-webvpn) #svc compression no

    (a more recent version, you can use the command "anyconnect" instead of "svc")

    If after this the problem persists please let me know when is the right time to reproduce the problem and collect the balls, debugs and catches. I also need the current configuration of the SAA (see technology in a txt file)

    Kind regards

    Thanks a lot for the update of this old question
    After reading the link, I think I should ignore this error and accept him as ORA-01402

    The information that you have asked me to check me do not have an understanding of the different error types.

    Coskan,

    I didn't know this is an old thread that somehow got updated by someone else.

    Regarding your question: you're right that the output of the script is not really that useful.

    I have just run on 10.2.0.4 and in general, it seems that the output of USER_UPDATABLE_COLUMNS is incorrect regarding the views of join using the WITH CHECK OPTION.

    For example although the location_id from the TEST_V_2 column appears as non-editable (probably because of the rule that "the columns used in the join expression" cannot be modified in a join view when you use the WITH CHECK OPTION) I can run successfully your insert if statement I choose a location_id less than 2000.

    It seems that summed up the difference if you join more than two tables, you'll always get the error "ORA-01733" when you try to insert in the join with the enabled OPTION CHECK view. For example to add a third table TEST_V_2 which does not change the original view, but simply joined meaning for example COUNTRIES to LOCATIONS, will show the same behavior to throw an ORA-01733, however it works fine when the omission of the WITH CHECK OPTION.

    So overall, I tend to say it is really a limitation of the implementation and it is not actually an ORA-01402 but looks like Oracle is simply trying to tell you: Amendment No. INSERT in this possible view. Updates however seem to work, at least I can find some examples of work.

    There seems to be other restrictions of implementation with the WITH CHECK OPTION in place even when the only membership as two tables, for example when trying to join the COUNTRIES and PLACES but by selecting only in PLACES and by using a filter on the COUNTRY_ID predicate fails with ORA-01733 when this predicate is applied to the COUNTRY. COUNTRY_ID but it works if this predicate is applied to PLACES. COUNTRY_ID.

    I could imagine that Oracle has quietly added some of these restrictions with each patch set due to the angle of the case/adverse reactions encountered. I saw this for other features, too.

    Kind regards

  • Connect hosts vSphere 4.1 again Virtual Center 5.0?

    We have Virtual Center 4.1 and all our hosts vSphere 4.1.

    I want to install a new VC 5.0 with dvSwitch 4.1.

    Then I whant to disconnect our hosts vSphere 4.1 4.1 VC, and reconnect them to our VC 5.0.

    I have not created any dvSwitch on the new VC 5.0.

    When I reconnect hosts vSphere 4.1 to the new VC 5.0, are the old dvSwitches then created 4.1 on the new VC 5.0, so I did not need to create them, before I have to reconnect?

    When you create the vDS on the new vCenter you will need to create it as a 4.1 vDS your host still being 4.1.

    You must disconnect and remove your host of your old VC (and former vDS) and then an add-in host on the new Victoria Cross.  After you have added the host of the new Victoria Cross you need to connect them to the new vDS.

    Best thing maybe create standard switches on hosts and migrate all your VMS and vmks to that.  Unplug and remove from current VC.  Add the host to the new CR.  Set and migration of networks to vDS.  This will reduce also any potential stop (against briefly during the network of back migration service VDS standard).

    Hope that makes sense.
