• Grabbing the VM via PowerCLI ipaddress

  Hi all

  I'm familiar with in order to see the IP addresses for a virtual machine running the following:

  # Take all the virtual machines through this point of view

  $a = get - view - viewtype virtualmachine

  # Assume the 1st VM has multiple IP addresses

  . $a guest.ipaddress [0]

  Who would kick out me the array of IP addresses for the given virtual computer.

  The problem that I face now is when I do this same thing, pulled back data are a UNIQUE IPaddress for each virtual computer. I can't understand what has changed. I have confirmed using the cmdlet Get - VM will pull the IPaddress info, as I am used to. initially, I chose the path of VIEW since I am faced with a large number of virtual machines and the view was much faster than the Get - VM cmdlet. If anyone has any suggestions or questions please let me know. Thanks for reading!

  -Josiah

  I'm going to be stationary in the channel IRC Freenode #powercli for the next day or so until is put to bed in some measure of closure ^. ^

  PS - I noticed something is the property of _.guest.net.ipaddress $ is not retained (not sure if this is the choice of the right word) when taking the opinion of the GET and exporting via CLIXml (export-clixml); in export .xml this _.guest.net.ipaddress $ does not exist from what I see. My original thought was just to grab all the data of the VM-display another environment and then export via CliXML, back to home port and chopping away. Looks like I'll need to manipulate a little more on the other end-environment before return to the home port. See you soon.

  Try this:

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine. Select @{N = "IP"; E = {[string]: join (",", $_.)} Comments. net. IPAddress)}}

  Also from my side, I don't see an IP address in the comments. IPAddress, but in guest.net.IPAddress they are all listed

• How to calculate the CPU via Powercli contention in vsphere 5.5?

  Hi all!

  I installed Vmware Vrealize trial version of my framework.

  Vrealize metric show of restraint CPU, I want to calculate using Powercli.

  Do you know how? What measures of Vsphere included competing Vrealize CPU?

  Thanks in advance!

  I found it!

  It's metric cpu.latency.average in Vsphere 5.5

  You can check this setting in your cluster via this PowerShell script:

  $clusterName = "cluster_name.

  $stat = "cpu.latency.average".

  $esx = get-Cluster-name $Cluster | Get-VMHost

  $CPU_contention = (get-stats - $esx - $stat - Realtime Stat entity - MaxSamples 1 |) Measure-object-propriete value - average). Average

• How to calculate the IOPS datastore / s and latency via Powercli?

  Hi all!

  I want to calculate the IOPS / s (RO/RW) and the latency of the data via Powercli store, but I cant' find this metric in Vcenter (in the data store tab) and see no metric for data via the cmdlet Get-Stat store.

  How can we measure IOPS / s and latency of data store?  For example I know veeam monitor this information - http://cdn.swcdn.net/creative/v16.8/images/screenshots/products/VM/Lg/EN/VMan60-Orion-Datastore-Top_Lg_960x540.jpg

  I know, I can get this VM or vmhost metric, but I need information on the data store.

  How to measure for IOPS / s and latency of data properly store?

  Thanks in advance!

  These measures are collected on ESXi nodes, entity would need to have the ESXi nodes where these data warehouses are connected.

  You can use the Instance property to filter.

  Under the PerformanceManager , you see all the measures for each indicator it indicates under which entity this metric is collected.

  

  And Yes, the cmdlet Get-inventory returns no data warehouses.

  There is a little, aggregated metric for data warehouses, I'll have to find an alternative for those.

  Nice catch!

  You may have gotten a solution now...

  In any case, I found this function (Get-VMHostWSManInstance) which works fine:

  http://blogs.VMware.com/vipowershell/2009/03/monitoring-ESX-hardware-with-PowerShell.html

  The most difficult part is to identify the CIM class containing the BMC MAC/IP address (in my case I need just an IP address). After digging in this doc:

  http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/CIM-SDK/smash/U3/GA/apirefdoc/OMC_IPMIIPProtocolEndpoint.html

  I had the chance to locate: OMC_IPMIIPProtocolEndpoint

  The Get-VMHostWSManInstance call:

  Get-VMHostWSManInstance - VMHost (get-vmhost 'vmhost1') - OMC_IPMIIPProtocolEndpoint - ignoreCertFailures of the class | Select IPv4Address, MACAddress

  will give the address IP/MAC of BMC.

  BTW, I'm using PowerCLI 5.0.1 on Windows 7, is the host ESX 4.x

  In a previous thread (authorization re - data charges Essbase without erasing existing data it has been suggested that it is possible to provide information to the user via the 'information' window. I guess that this refers to the information bar window that appears when performing different tasks in web client FDM?
  
  If so, how you get there? The Administrator's guide is only seems to point to Administration | Web settings, where you can customize the behavior of the information bar. But is it possible to load the message and set the type of message (info, warning, error) from a script of the event?

  Yes, you can fill a script of the event. There is an accelerator of General utility to "Display the information bar Message".

• How to add a NIC E1000E Server 2012 VM via PowerCLI?

  Hello

  I am trying to understand how a NIC E1000E added to a Windows Server VM 2012 and wildly without success. None of the current documentation for PowerCLI 5.1 references even its existence.  When I use the NetworkAdapter Get it returns the NICs E1000E as 'unknown '.  I tried to add a NETWORK card with a - Type of 'Unknown' and he simply added a network card. "VMXNET' regular

• Save the CDP to HTML for Mulitple VMHosts via PowerCLI

  Hello

  I tried some of the existing scripts found here to collect information network switch port CDP natachasery on ESXi hosts.  These scripts assume that a host is queried or they connect to a server vCenter Server to collect a VMHost list.  When I try to connect to multiple ESXi hosts, that I will meet this error:

  The method call failed because [System.Object []] contains a method named "QueryNetworkHint".

  Can a PowerCLI script perform the next task?

  I wish that the script first to connect to multiple ESXi hosts that are not managed in vCenter.  The default Mode of the Get-PowerCLIConfiguration server has Multiple value so that "Get-VMHost" returns a list of the VMHosts.

  The script would then collect information from each bear on each host and export the results to the format of HTML table as shown in the example attached .htm.  I hope help with the section which gathers information for multiple ESXi hosts.

• BlackBerry 10 Z10 is connected to the car via a Bluetooth Handsfree link do not provide information on the song after that put 10.2.1 update.

  I use a Z10 for about 6 months and I connect the phone to my car (a Honda Civic 2012) via the link to the Bluetooth hands-free kit to receive phone calls and play songs that are stored on the SD card in my phone. When I play a song, the song title, artist and album information are displayed on the LCD screen of my car. However, after the update to 10.2.1 this morning, information about the song does not seem be sent to the car. Any song that I play, the car screen says 'none' for the title, album and artist. I can still "scroll" even though my songs from stereo console of the car using the buttons back and forth, but alas, no song information is displayed. I restarted my phone several times, remove the Bluetooth connections on my phone and the car and then reconnected, but no dice. I must admit that I am really annoyed on this subject. It's pretty basic things. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  I can tell you that on my Civic 2013, this problem does not exist. Other current issues from time to another avec.1925, but not the problem you are reporting. Thus, I would suggest you clear your pairing Civic, reload your BONES of BB10, then try again.

  Good luck!

• How to calculate the CPU Ready on Cluster DRS via Powercli?

  Hi all!

  I have a DRS Vsphere cluster. I want to know what is the value of the loan of CPU I have in my group.

  For example, I get 20% of powercli value, it is normal for the cluster, but if I have 100% or more, I have a problem.

  How to achieve via Powercli? And how to calculate the percentage values correctly?

  I know, I can get all values of CPU Ready of VMs cluster, but IT is not the same thing, I need overall value of CPU Ready.

  Thanks in advance!

  As far as I know you can get the cpu.ready.summation for ESXi nodes or VMs.

  For a cluster, you will need to get the value of each node in the cluster ESXi and then take the average.

  The metric cpu.radey.summation is expressed in milliseconds.

  To get a percentage, you need to calculate the percentage of loan period during the interval during which it was measured.

  Something like this (this will give the loan current %)

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $stat = "cpu.ready.summation".

  $esx = get-Cluster-name $clusterName | Get-VMHost

  $stats = get-Stat-entity $esx - Stat $stat - Realtime - MaxSamples 1 - forum «»

  $readyAvg = $stats | Measure-object-property - average value. Select - ExpandProperty average

  $readyPerc = $readyAvg / ($stats [0].) IntervalSecs * 1000)

  Write-Output "Cluster $($clusterName) - CPU % loan $(' {0:p}'-f $readyPerc).
