• Remove-hard drive, cant pass a string to it, is there another way?

  I was thinking of using Get-hard drive and then channelling it to Remove-hard drive, but I don't know how to get only the text VMDK * wink *. The below script used to work a few months ago, I'm not sure what has changed, no upgrade were made.

  The code in question:

  $DisksToRemove = (get - VM VM1, VM2, VM3 |) Get - Harddisk)

  foreach ($disk in $DisksToRemove)

  {

  if($Disk.) Filename-comme "* wink *")

  {

  Remove-hard drive - HDD $disk. Filename-confirm: $false

  Write-Host "Removed:"-to the first 'green' plan ".

  Write-Host $disk. File name

  }

  }

  In addition, you could add this to your existing code and it should work

  $DisksToRemove = (get - VM VM1, VM2, VM3 |) Get - Harddisk)

  foreach ($disk in $DisksToRemove)

  {

  if($Disk.) Filename-comme "* wink *")

  {

  $disk: Remove-hard drive - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "Removed:"-to the first 'green' plan ".

  Write-Host $disk. File name

  }

• Remove hard disk while the VM is on

  I have a requirement for the removal of a hard disk of a VM to script while it is running. I can do this OK the client virtual infrastructure, but if I try and get the PowerCLI I get an error that the operation cannot be performed while the virtual machine is on. Any ideas on how to work around this problem? Here are the commands I'm using:

  $hd = get-disk hard - vm myvmname | where {$_.} Name - eq 'hard drive'}

  Remove-hard drive - disk hard $hd - confirm: $false

  I am running 4.0U1 PowerCLI and the latest version of vSphere, ESXi and vCenter.

  Thank you

  James

  You can remove hard drives a guest under tension when the disks are connected to a SCSI controller.

  For IDE hard drives that won't work.

  And you are right, that the cmdlet Remove-hard drive does not seem to be taken into account.

  It will remove only the hard drives when the host is turned off.

  But you can use the SDK ReconfigVM_Task method.

  $vmName = "MyVM"
  $hdName = "Hard disk 3"
  
  $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
  $tgtdev = $vm.Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq $hdName}
  $dev = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec
  $dev.operation = "remove"
  $dev.device = $tgtdev
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $spec.DeviceChange += $dev
  $vm.ReconfigVM($spec)

• can I reinstall vista, removed hard drive?

  I bought a laptop computer with a hard drive deleted, if I get a new hard then re - install vista if they product key sticker is on the bottom of the laptop?

  Hello

  Licenses, Activation and hardware drivers problems do not work how the other poster tells you

  If this hard drive was put in another computer, it would not work for 2 reasonns.

  1, it will NOT be activated until the preinstaled license OEM, a computer brand, DELL, HP, etc, is related to the original machine it was installed on

  2. it would not in all the probability of starting as this removed hard disk motherboard drivers required in order for it to work on your laptop, not another machine

  many people take a hard drive out so that they can keep them on private data they sell laptop

  also with regard to what the other poster told you about the recovery partition:

  It won't work that on YOUR laptop, NOT another machine, the hard disk may be implemented

  Here's how to reinstall Vista on your laptop:

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc and use your product key

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• If I have not access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system?

  Original title: TPG Server petition.

  I wanted to know if I di not actually have access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit? Instead of having a computer with a complete installation of windows mine came with versions of WinPE OEM, NT and MCE. The GPT partition server that I can see is protected. Partial operating systems seem to be installed on network disk Volumes. I think that what I have to do down the disk hard real all delete and start again but I'm having a problem to see what is all about the drive through programs and remove what I find. He also seems to have a certain type of script hidden BIOS more wrinkles to retail and canceling all decisions on versions of the oem .cfg files. She configures and installs the server instead of windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit server software. The installation gives the highest administrative authority to the network administrators who I don't know and have never met and to manage my personal laptop. It creates a serious problem when I want to use my computer for one purpose and that some people I don't know and have never met want me to use my computer for something else.

• Why do not the remove-hard drive remove a disc with a new SCSI controller?

  Hi PowerCLI gurus,

  I try to use PowerCLI to automate the solution for article configuration of disks to use VMware Paravirtual (PVSCSI) SCSI adapters (1010398).

  Remove-hard drive sometimes gives me a misleading error when I use it to remove a hard drive with a new SCSI controller.

  The FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  Can anyone here explain the error?

  My version of vCenter server is 5.1.0.

  My PowerCLI version is 2.0.

  Here's what I've done to reproduce the error.

  First of all, I connect to vCenter and stop the virtual machine.

  $TestVM = 'TESTVM '.

  $TestServer = ' vcenter - test.local ".

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $TestServer

  Stop-VM - $TestVM VM - confirm: $false

  I add a new hard drive and store it in a variable so I can refer to it for the next steps.

  New hard drive '.

  -VM $TestVM '

  -Persistent persistence"

  -Flat DiskType '

  CapacityKB - 1024'

  StorageFormat - thin '

  -OutVariable TempDisk

  I make a note of its name.

  $TempDisk.Name

  Because my VM already has 2 discs, the output is "hard drive 3.

  Then I add a new SCSI controller on the hard drive.

  New SCSI controller.

  Hard drive - $TempDisk '

  -Type ParaVirtual '

  NoSharing - BusSharingMode

  Now, I try to remove the hard drive from the variable to remove the disc.

  Remove-hard drive - hard drive $TempDisk - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  It fails with an error that says "Hard drive 3" has already been removed.

  Remove HDD: 12/02/2014-18:51:33 remove-hard drive the FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  On line: 1 char: 1

  + Delete-hard drive - hard drive $TempDisk - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  + CategoryInfo: ObjectNotFound: (3:FlatHardDiskImpl drive) [Remove-hard drive], VimException

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_VirtualDeviceServiceImpl_TryValidateDeviceExists_DeviceDoesNotExist, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.RemoveHardDisk

  But I see that there are still "hard drive 3"!

  Get-disk hard - VM $TestVM - name 'hard drive 3.

  CapacityGB persistence Filename

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

  0.001 persist... B-DATA-01] TESTVM/TESTVM_9.vmdk

  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

  I don't think that the cmdlet uses actually the UID, but more likely a MoRef to the vSphere object that represents the hard disk.

  Remember that under the covers most of the PowerCLI cmdlets do calls to the vSphere API.

  Change the Uid, property value indicates that the hard drive connected to the new controller is a new and different purpose.

  And this explains why the hard drive remove does not work with the original hard disk object, it no longer exists.

• Script to remove hard drives as HDD1 of VM and Add again.

• Remove-hard drive - confirm the $false woes

  Hello

  I can get it works fine without the - confirm $false, but he invites me to a dialogue of the type "are you sure y/n"; as I need to run it in a script I have to disable the confirmation.  Please can someone help me with what Miss me?

• Cancel an increase in data store on removable hard drive

  Hello, I was just wondering, but I was messing around trying to find the way on an empty stomach for manually copying the VM to a RDX removable hard drive and decided to try to increase the size of the data with the RDX hard disk store.  I was wondering if there is a way to cancel this increase in size of the data store.  When I remove the RDX drive, it gives me an error saying no data store has been created but still work in the VM.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Welcome to the community,

  I understand thi correctly. You have added the RDX as a measure for the data store local drive!

  There is no way to remove a measure. You will need to evacuate the data store (i.e. save virtual machines), remove the extended data store and create a new.

• Partition 32G BootCamp, Virtual Disk - flat hard 125G file!

  Hello

  I recently installed VMWare Fusion on my laptop OS X I have created a BootCamp partition and installed XP. I created a partition of 32 GB for XP. I noticed my OS X partition to fill quite quickly. I used "from" to find the culprit and it's a 125 G file created by VMWare Fusion! Is this normal? This seems excessive. The file is located:

  / Users/tammy/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp of Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot partition.vmwarevm/Virtual disk - flat hard

  Is it possible to get a little less of my OS X Fusion disk space use?

  Thank you.

  Tammy

  Well, I had to do a little research and what I found out, is that you can not directly mount a virtual secondary drive while he lies in the Boot Camp Virtual Machine partition and I've tested this with both one unformatted and formatting virtual hard drive and got the exact error and message in the absence of additional information in the log file then here is what you can do.

  You can modify the Boot Camp partition.vmx change ide0:1.present = "FALSE" ide0:1.present = "TRUE" then boot partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine and see if the disc is visible in Windows Explorer and if it is not then it has not been formatted and contains nothing, in which case you can remove it from the virtual machine and leave within the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine package or...

  Move the file Disk.vmdk virtual and Virtual Disk - flat hard to the desktop, press ctrl + click on the Virtual Disk.vmdk, and then select open with > VMDKMounter and see what message you get if any.  If it does rise and you get an error message appropriate then it can be deleted safely

  Understand that even if I know it's a pain in the thigh but I need something technically absolute that is within reasonable limits, before I will advise someone to delete a virtual hard disk and I hope you understand the reasoning and wisdom behind this!

  I forgot to mention that if you choose to modify the Boot Camp partition.vmx this must be done with closed merger.

• I can't install the second disk sata hard

  I have a problem when install the second disk sata hard
  I bought a new one 500 GB and I installed windows xp sp3
  and it works well I plugged in SATA 0 port
  When I want to install a second sata hard disk 320 on sata 1
  and it has an important data, windows will reboot, and do
  blue screen sometimes 'NTFS.sys"or"SCSIPORT.sys.
  and it is written "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
  If someone help me what should I do or there is no FIX for this problem.

  in the BIOS I have regcognized both hard drivers:
  IDE pri master 500 GB
  PRI IDE slave 320
  Second master IDE-
  Second slave IDE-
  PORT SATA - 0
  SATA 1 - PORT

  I plugged the IDE 2 cd-rom

  ----------
  Specification of the device:
  Windows xp sp3
  card mother gigabyte 848P
  Intel ICH5
  Intel 8I848p775-g
  Celeron D Socket 775

  You said that the hard drives are sata but your bios recognizes them as IDE depending on your position. You might have to set your bios to operate in sata mode or enable AHCI of have recognized them as sata. Regarding the error you get, look in the system BIOS to boot from hard disk command menu. This is different from the command menu of usual starting where you choose each time you start a cd ROM or hard drive ect... The parameter that I refer to determine which hard drive of your computer starts on the first. Change to the primary master 500 GB disk > save your settings and restart your computer. Even if one is defined as main and the other slave is not serious. Some bios have the ability to choose what hard drive to boot from. In other words, it is adjustable to start first on the slave drive.

• How to install my game on my removable hard drive.

  I need to know if I can install my game on my removable hard drive and if so, how? Thank you

  Hi shananagan,

  Yes, it is possible to install a program on an external hard drive.

  Most of the program\game installation wizard allows you to choose a destination drive to install on; You can choose your external hard drive for the installation files reside.

  If the game setup button does not give you a choice, in this case you cannot install it on the external hard drive.

  Normally, Small\flash games can be installed on the external hard drive.

  Note: When you install a program on the external hard drive, it made an entry in the registry of the operating system, the installed program may or may not work when the external hard drive is disconnected and re connected.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
