Connect to multiple instances of a script vCenter?

How can I connect to multiple instances of a script vCenter without going through separate-entry sequences of credentials or credentials on disk storage?

I need to browse through a table of the vCenters and run scripts against each of them. They are not related, but the same credentials must be valid on all instances.

It would be great if there was also a way of parallelization of this job such as each returned only thread STDOUT is it speeding up the script.

All suggestions are welcome, I can see some tips using PowerShell, but I need to do it in Perl.

Thank you

Stephen

You get close, you are missing just a few required modules. Here is the final excerpt that will work for you:

use strict;
use warnings;
use VMware::VILib;
use VMware::VIRuntime;

{eval
My $vim = Vim::login (service_url-online $url, user_name => $username, password-online $password).
My $vms = $vim-> find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine');
{foreach(@$VMS)}
Print $_-> name. "\n";
}
};
Si ($@) {}
Print $@. "\n";
}

Make sure you put things highlighted in bold, it's what you have in your Perl script. I checked on the VMAs, but I'm sure it'll work on Windows as well.

You're right, the documentation can be better... If one of the reason, VMware has created all these routines support auxiliary, is to abstract the complication of the API. They also assumed that you'd be connectingn to a single host or vCenter simultaneously. All that falls on these basic configs, it will take your own code/etc. and where watching is that the first part of the challenge

Good luck

  • Connection of multiple instances of ColdFusion 10 to a single server Apache 2.2

    It is replicated from site "Server failure" StackOverflow. The CF community is under represented, so I post here also.  Sorry for "cross-post".

    It's on Windows 7 Home Premium edition.

    I had two instances of ColdFusion 10 (update 2): "cfusion" (the default) and "scratch."

    I had a single instance of Apache 2.2 running.

    In Apache, I've set up two virtual servers, each of which must be served by another instance of ColdFusion.

    Each CF instance serves files through an internal web server to Tomcat. Apache serves as vanilla HTML files too. If instances of CF and two virtual servers separately work OK.

    I can get wsconfig.exe to connect either of the CF instances to the Apache Server and serve files via Apache and this instance CF.

    However I don't find a way to connect the second instance of CF at Apache, so that two instances of CF are connected, each serving one of the virtual servers. WSConfig doesn't seem to understand the concept of "multiple instances of CF", and the changes it brings to the httpd.conf (via mod_jk.conf) does not seem to be implemented so as to take account of multiple instances of CF, speaking to a single instance of Apache, or several virtual servers. I will admit not being fairly confident with mod_jk (or even really httpd.conf) operation to be able to guess if I can change things to make it work.

    If I try to add the second instance of CF using WSConfig, I received a message "the web server is already configured for ColdFusion. Whatever it is... not the instance of ColdFusion - what I want to connect to. If I remove the connector in any instance is already connected, I can connect and then a no problems. Not that this helps, but it demonstrates that the CF can connect to Apache.

    All of this used to be relatively straight line fwd under older versions of CF and JRun :-(

    The docs just I found are on the page "Connect multiple Apache virtual servers on a web server to a single ColdFusion Server" (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Admin/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbf364104-7fd 5 html), but that precisely only addresses a single instance of CF. There is no equivalent page for several instances of CF.

    I hope a little I can move some of the config of mod_jk in my virtual host entries in httpd - vhosts.conf (that's how it used to work for JRun), but I have no idea what to put where.

    I think I covered all the necessary info here? If not, sing and I'll add more. Thank you.

    Anyone?  See you soon.

  • Apex application connect to multiple instances

    My company is in evaluation mode. We currently have a forms and reports 10g application (using Oracle Application Server 10 g) hat allows access to several databases that have the same repeated patterns in each, i.e. production, test, etc. Schemas have the same database objects, be they in production, test, or to another instance.

    If we migrate the application at the APEX, we have repeated in every instance application or can you have in one and are based on tnsnames.ora database file to allow the application to access the data in this other forum? Or is there another way to keep the application at the APEX, in one case and still allow users to connect to other databases?

    Thank you for your help.

    Stacey

    Stacey,

    When you install Apex in a db instance it creates two schemas. apex_030200 & flows_files.
    The apex_030200 scheme is at the heart of the apex, it contains the files needed to make the generator of the app, sql workshop and all the rest that allows you to build an application. It contains also all applications built within the apex so by the developer.
    Flows_files contains all the files you downloaded a developer could download and use.

    From you create them a workspace to develop your applications in. You then associate this workspace with one or more schemas on this instance. (It can create the schema or you can use an existing one) It's your user data
    Here's the info on the who is a workspace:
    Workspace: (from page 26 user's Guide documentation) http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e11838.pdf
    Oracle Application Express allows a single database of very many users host.
    Users work in a dedicated workspace called a workspace. A workspace is a virtual
    private database that allows several users to work in the same Oracle
    Installation of the application Express while keeping their objects, data, and applications
    private. This flexible architecture allows a single database instance handle
    thousands of applications.

    My suggest would be like what others have said:
    (1) install apex on each instance that you want to use
    (2) develop your applications on a single instance and then export/import the app to other instances just as you would with any other software development system.

    (3) in the HTTP server as HTTP requests to the db channels, you can edit the file dads.conf to your applications and use something like:

    Within each of them, you point to db by a connection string.
    By doing this method here would use you that AN http server to accommodate the many different environments in a number of instances, maybe it's what you tried to get your message across, maybe not.

    Hope this helps,

  • Firefox does not work for multiple instances of the SAME user account on Windows Multipoint Server 2011

    We have a PC HP of MulitSeat MS6200

    The first student to run Firefox can work with it without a problem.
    However, when another student try to start firefox they get the following message:
    Firefox is already running but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

    Cannot start Firefox using a profile that is already used by someone else.
    Each Firefox instance needs its own profile or you will get this error message.

  • running multiple instances of VBAI does not work

    Hello everyone,

    We are 4 common examples of VBAI at the same time. Recently, he had to copy it (because production is doubly).

    With our first system, we have no problems when you try to run multiple instances of VBAI. This time, however, it does not.

    Our system:

    • 4 cams: Allied Manta 201

    • camera is triggered (rising edge) separately, but almost simultaneously.

    • Four port NIC (with the right driver :-))

    • 4 ports and our on-noard port are bridged.

    • computer: intel I5 (4 cores)

    • License to run Vision Builder 2012.

    • Programmed with Vision Builder HAVE 2012.

    • Interface programmed in c# (receives images of the relevant info 4 programs and displays on the screen).

    Action taken:

    • Test with our program that opens 4 instances of VBAI. Result: 1 single instance opens.

    • Removed our bridge a connected our cams on a switch. Result: 1 single instance opens.

    • Open VBAI 4 VBAI-programs directly (but separately). Result: Each program opens and is fully working.

    • Open 2 programs at the same time (with VBAI). Result: Fist opens and is equipped with the work. At the opening of the second program, that we get error messages saying that it is not possible to connect with our camera.

    • The test above was created with:

      1. The cam connected to our network card 4 ports.

      2. The cam connected through a switch.

    • I have also written 4 simple programs (just enter a period followed by image)

    • With these programs, I tried the above test (VBAI 2 hours and run both programs at the same time). Same problem: 1programs starts, the error messages when opening a second program.

    I have the impression that it's a network problem, but what bothers me is that, when the bridge, I don't see a difference with our another computer that works on our original assemblyline. When you work on a referral that our parameters are the same as on a computer that does not have a network card 4 ports. The computer (and liked)) allows us to run multiple instances.

    Any thoughts?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I don't really see.

    If you need more information about something, let me know.

    With sincere friendships.

  • Multiple Instances of the Application to access the same DAQ hardware

    I have a relatively simple application that reads from a device of data acquisition (OR-9205 connected to NI WLS-9163) wireless.  I would like to run multiple instances of the executable, but I get the error-201105 (resource reserved) as soon as the DAQmx task starts on the second instance.  Each instance tries to acquire different channels of the same DAQ hardware.  Is this a problem with the data acquisition device, or DAQmx in general?  Thank you.

    -Joe

    Hey Joe,

    Unfortunately, you can only one type of access channel with each program.  For example, you might HAVE a program access and another use AO, but you can't have two programs different AI the same access card.  It is common among all of the DAQ hardware to NEITHER.

  • How to force multiple instances of a process or program to run under XP?

    Sometimes, several instances of a program can execute without the user does something special, for example, you can open several instances of the Adobe Reader software if you click on the names of different files (but if you click directly on the .exe in Program Files XP opens just one instance).

    I am trying to run multiple instances of the Kindle for PC program, so I can display 2 different books or pages at a time. I guess that there is a way to do this by manually creating a shortcut or directly from the running of the KindleForPC.exe command line and play with command line parameters... someone knows it how?
    Thank you

    It really depends on how the application was written.  You can try to run as a different user and see if it works.  Right click on the shortcut of programs and select 'Run As.... "and use another user that the currently connected.  The user must have the appropriate privileges to run the program, for example a limited user may not be allowed to run the program or access any of its files or registry keys.

  • If you open multiple instances of vWorkspace fails.

    I'm pretty new to vWorkspace pls if being informative and sweet in your answers until I got up to speed, thanks.

    I have a vWorkspace environment where users can not open multiple instances of any application from their destination vWorkspace page. Let me give you an example:

    JulianTest of the user connects to vWorkspace and sees to the vWorkspace landing page which has two icons 'Production' & 'Test '. The user clicks on "Production" but also wants to open an instance of 'Test', but when he click on 'Test' it gets the error:

    Remote Desktop cannot connect to the remote computer to one of the following reasons:

    ....

    ....

    ....

    If the user does the same thing except opens first ' Test' and then try to open 'Production' then, it gets the same error. Somehow, vWorkspace does not allow more than one RDP session for any user. I tested the computer of the user remote DESKTOP connections and I can open any number of RDP sessions to different terminal servers (there are about 10 servers terminal Server in the farm!) is not something RDP.

    Can anyone suggest how can I fix?

  • Multiple instances of the Microsoft bluetooth stack

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem in the use of two adapters Bluetooth Microsoft Bluetooth stack. Or the other adapter works fine until the other adapter is not connected. When other adapter is connected, it does not starts shown in Device Manager. Reason, displayed is that device can not start (error code 10).
    I think it's because of the connection of Audio service resource conflicts that might be solved if multiple instances of Microsoft Bluetooth Stack may be executed or some configuration settings. I'm fighting for a long time, but I still have not found any method of work.
    Bluetooth adapter: Atheros 3011.

    A single active Bluetooth radio is supported both in Microsoft Bluetooth Stack. It should be possible to establish a connection to a few destinations at the same time using a radio. No battery on Windows supports more than one radio.

  • Multiple Instances of Timesten

    Hello

    I created two instances of time then with steps below.

    1. create User1 for instances inst1 and inst2

    2. grant create session, admin, create any table, CACHE_MANAGER to User1 for both instances.

    3. in both cases, call the ttCacheUidPwdSet ('user1', 'user1').

    4. call ttcachestart; in both cases.

    5. call ttGridCreate ('TT_INST1GRID'); for inst1

    5. call ttGridNameSet ('TT_INST1GRID'); for both instances.

    6 create the dynamic group of global cache AWT which is exactly the same as the table db oracle connected for two instances.

    7. Enter the ttrepstart for both instances.

    8. CALL the ttGridAttach (1, 'ttdb1_node', 'host', 5001); for inst1

    9. CALL ttGridAttach (1, 'ttdb1_node', 'host', 5002); to inst2

    When I insert lines 10 K INST1 table I can query the table even when I connect to INST1.  But when I ask INST2 I can't find records in INST2.  But oracle propagated with 10K table lines.

    Why INST2 does not display the file that has been inserted through INST1.  Is there nothing fundamentally failed in terms of configuration.

    Please notify.

    Thank you.

    It should be an expected behavior.

    According to the Document in Cache line grid:

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E21901_01/TimesTen.1122/e21634/define.htm#TTCAC261

    A grid of cache TimesTen is designed to prevent the update simultaneous through groups of cache AWT in multiple TimesTen databases by providing a way for users of Oracle databases to horizontally is changing on groups of global cache on several systems with the consistency of the data read/write on TimesTen databases.

    In a grid of cache, only one copy of a cache instance is allowed to be present in all of the network at any time in time. Each instance of cache in a global cache group is owned by the members of the grid where he is currently.

    You can get a map of the complete distribution of data via a global query execution by referring to the
