• 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")}

• Move one virtual Center Server to another host

  I currently have a small standalone ESX server running some virtual machines in a remote office. It is connected to its own Virtual Center Server. This virtual Center Server has apparently been abandoned and is no longer in service. I wanted to add the stand-alone host on our server main virtual Center, but did not know if something had to be done before hand (move files lciensing, etc.) to simply add the host directly in the datacenter through VIC.

  Thank you

  If you have available licenses in your current environment, you can simply add the host to the.  When attempting to add a host, you will receive a message saying: it is run by another instance of vCenter you want to add it, just say Yes.

  If you get to the other instance of vCenter to disconnect the host, then your VM can drop.

  But if you have your main site to the remote connectivity, you should have problems addding it if licenses are available.

• Beyond the performance data not available to a host through Virtual Center

  
  Hello

  I have an ESXi host that relates to the ' No Data Available ' under his paw through Virtual Center performance. Fine appears real-time performance data, but the latest data are not appear and give the error as "No Data Available".

  Within the cluster of 4 hosts, alone is to have the point above. Others are appearing fine performance data.

  In another cluster host ESXi too connected to the same vCenter, I see one of the host is to have a similar question.

  I checked:

  • All work Rollup SQL is run successfully the default schedule.
  • Restarted vpxa service connection to the host directly using the vsphere client.

  I followed the KB article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2007388 . as suggested in the article when I run the Sub SQL query I see there is no data within who. 

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_statx

  name	lines	reserved	data	index_size	unused
  VPX_HIST_STAT1	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	NULL VALUE	0 KB	0 KB

  The output is similar (no data) if I run these queries:

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat2

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat3

  exec sp_spaceused vpx_hist_stat4

  Current configuration:

  ESXi 5.1.0 799733

  vCenter Server 5.1.0 Build 1123961

  Please help solve this.

  I actually planned for the downtime of the host and restarted it.

  Although loading performance data now.

  Thank you!

• Virtual Center for a given host list

  OK, I'm sure that miss me something easy here so I'll throw out and see if someone can help.

  I'm trying to do a report on my hosts that lists the number of processor sockets, carrots VMS, cluster parent and Center Virtual parent.

  For the life of me I can't figure out how to find the virtual Center.

  I connect to multiple virtual centers like this connect-VIServer-Server Denver.myorg.com, Chicago.myorg.com, Savannah.myorg.com

  Greetings-

  I see.  Looks like that the property on the VMHostImpl object (returned by Get-VMHost) was not always there.  I was checking against an environment that has the API vSphere 5.1.  I saw, as you have said, that these other properties were not present during the test against an API v5.0 environment.

  So, Yes, as you said - the '. '. Client.ServiceUrl"property of the View object for the host has a string that can be used to infer the vCenter server name.  And, you can still access this property of the VMHostImpl object via the. ExtensionData property.  Something like:

  Get-VMHost | select Name,    @{n="vCenter"; e={($_.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl -replace "http[s]?://", "").Split("/")[0]}}
  

  What do I do?

  Hi Mallik7, please try the following steps, you must succeed to solve the problem.

  To connect a client to vCenter directly to the ESX host error-free work.

  Files/etc/vmware/config the ESX host contain the lines:

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

  authd.soapServer = 'TRUE '.

  prefvmx.consolidateDeleteNFSLocks = "TRUE" authd.proxy.vpxa - nfc = "vmware - vpxa:vpxa - nfc.

  Authd.proxy.vpxa - nfcssl = ' vmware - vpxa:vpxa - nfcssl.

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

  This problem occurs when a carriage return is missing from/etc/vmware/config. To resolve this issue, go to edit/etc/vmware/config:

• 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

  Robert

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

• Connection problems on Netflix in Media Center: "there was a problem of signing. Make sure your internet connection is working and try again. »

  Original title: Netflix in windows media center, connection problems

  I saw disorder connect to Netflix on windows media center. I am running windows vista x 64. When I select the icon of the login screen appears, but when I try to connect it comes up with the error message "there was a problem of signing. Make sure your internet connection is working and try again. "my internet connection is fine and I can connect to http://www.Netflix.com/, so this problem should make windows media center, but I can't understand it. I have updated windows and windows media center and I'm still having this problem. Thanks in advance for any advice.

  The most likely explanation is NetFlix changed something in their routine of authentication (i.e. SOAP structure or just a URL string, whatever) and who broke the Vista NetFlix WMC client. It did not affect the web interface of NetFlix because operated a NetFlix service, they were obviously aware of the change pending and adjusted their web client to use the new method.

  Customer WMC NetFlix in Windows 7 (which is a new product), was probably already coded to use the new method. The client in Vista has continued to work with the old method, until NetFlix finally stop this method. Microsoft, slow to react and to assign developers to fix the Vista NetFlix WMC client missed the deadline and Vista users have been in the dark for a while.

  That's pretty standard for web services that cross corporate barriers. Particularly involving slow mega-body like Microsoft. A company change a routine and the other has to play catch-up. Communication is often difficult between the divisions within a company, between companies, it is often non-existent.

  The level of prissy whining in this thread was good for a laugh however. Those threatening to cancel NetFlix: rolleyes: your access was still working on their Web site. You were not without service, just, without the convenience of WMC. People grumble at Microsoft... anyone know if Microsoft was still knowledgeable of * when * NetFlix was going to turn off the old authentication? If they were told the night before (or any) "Hey let's turn off the old authentication routine" what kind of response do you expect? How long is it since the problem began, 28 days? It's actually a pretty fast for an element relatively low priority. Or it could just be that NetFlix reactivated their old methods of authentication as a temporary solution to this problem (they share a part in creation) until Microsoft can respond formally with an update.

  Now if Microsoft was duly informed advanced evolution of the service, still dragged feet (quite possible) I don't give them no slack. But at the end of the day, it is always a matter of low priority. It's fixed now, be happy until the next time that Netflix change their authentication routine.

• One migrated from my virtual machine to another host VSphere and it does not start

  I have a virtual machine that I've initially converted to Hyper-V to host VSphere. After I did it would start very well, but I got up two errors when starting.

  "An IDE controller is found but the VM does not support the option" and

  "A plate supporting the option not found."

  When I looked at the hard drive in the settings it looks like it is not supported. Is it because I badly converted to Hyper-V to VSphere using VMWare Converter?

  But now, I configure VCenter Server and tested a migration of these machines to another host and using the VSphere Client. It does not start now. I get an error message that says.

  "Device 'drive hard 1' uses a controller that is not supported." This is a general limitation of the compatibility of the virtual machine with the selected host ESXi version. »

  Remember that it is the same VSphere host it is running on initially. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  If it works now - is that correct? n ' forget not to award points useful and/or correct

  I removed these entries;

  ide0:0. FileName = 'PIC-JVM-v0001 - 000001.vmdk ".

  Although there is a high probability that the other six you have to do will be similar to this, they will have to be assessed individually and modified accordingly.

• Problems with virtual center/vsphere client

  Hello

  We use Vsphere client 4.0.0 build 208111 with Virtual Center Server version and same build.

  I have 2 problems:

  1. I have a virtual machine with only one disc that is shown on 2 different data stores. If I look through the models and virtual computers, I see only 1 vm. If I look through the data warehouse screen, I see it in the store data-002 and 003-store data. If I go to the settings of the virtual machine on the datastore-002 and check the disk, I see the path in the store of data-003.

  How can I fix?

  2. I turned on a windows 2003 vm. I couldn't close it via customer vpshere because the status of VM Tools showed not running. When I logged in the system, he showed OK and then I could close by the customer.

  Do I always login for virtual machine tools to perform?

  Thank you

  Haim defending

  This virtual machine has a CD / ISO mounted?  What happens if you click edit setting on the virtual machine, that says the file of the disk?

  Also, go to the service console and watching a .vmx file, it should say something like

  scsi0:1.fileName = "servername.vmdk"
  

  Then look at the hard, it should point to something like

   VMFS "servername-flat.vmdk"
  

• Error al licenciar esx 3.5, virtual center of the host y

  Hola

  I have 2 esx 3.5 servidores y Virtual Centre of the United Nations.

  In each of esx, Guerra el .lic (single host) he is ok, appears as licenciado (es standard esx).

  Instalo UN virtual center y al instalar doy el fichero .lic Québec he generated in the web of vmware (centralized).

  VOY a cada esx y pongo ip del Centre virtual donde pone 'use license server', me dice algo asi como no hay to licenses validad if the doy tr o no, the digo if, pero no licenciado appears.

  He desinstaldo y vuelto a instalar el servidor of licenses, releido el archivo .lic... no hay manera.

  También al of ido he virtual center a "administration", he marcado "change host...". ', Center Management Server virtual y ahi, pero nada. If Quebec me appears ahi al dar al oton "administration", then b has the 'licenses' las features pestana y en 'virtual center foundation manager' in 'cost' pone server 1, remaining pone cero, y pone total 1.

  El host appears como desconectado al anadirlo al virtual Center try not there as none is can por las licenses.

  Saludos

  If el otro no you already licenciar lo're porque el vCenter no tiene fired para asignarle. Of how many CPUs are you fired? How many has released there? How many you is? ESTOS datos los puedes ver en el servidor of licenses y con the utility of licenses.

  We must PD.
