Copy the files from ESXi vmware.log
All,
Need a bit of help here. We were asked to keep the vmware*.log files in the folder of each VM. Using the viToolkitExtensions, I can get the files in each directory, but I can't get copied off in my server Windows so that they can be saved. It has been suggested that I use TkeDatastoreFile copy, but I ran into a wall, make it work. Here's what I have so far, once connected to the VC.
$x = get-VM VMNAME | Get - views | % {$_.config.files.vmpathname}
$y = $x Extract-TkeDatastorePathElements
$z = get-datastore $y.datastore | Get-tkedatastorefile | where {$_ .path - like "vmwareJournal"}
I can now browse each journal found in the folder, but I can't get copy-tkeDatastoreFile work to copy each file to a destination on the Server Windows where the script will run, for example D:\Data\logs. Any ideas on how I finish that?
Gary
Here's a transcript of a session that has worked for me. I added - noSize - noType and - noModification to Get TkeDatastoreFile because it speeds up things a bit.

I move the file from my old PC which took place with Vista on a new computer running with Win 10 where I have Windows Live Mail is installed. When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties". After studying this issue on the forums, a proposed solution was to reformat the drive in NTFS format, I did. This does not solve the problem. Any suggestions? Would it be OK in this case to ignore the message and copy the file without its properties?
Well data files/user of vista should work. Yes a NTFS format is good, go to run, or cmd, type:
diskmgmt.msc in msc, R.click on the material, delete the partition, create one, format. Use the default settings,
Once thru, L.click the disk, go to actions, all, select 'enable '.

Copy the file from the desktop to the filesystem (not datastore) hosts?
Hey all,.
I need to download a custom file system authentication on /etc/pam.d/system-auth on 16 hosts. I did a copy master file and stored on a local workstation.
I expected to come up with a PowerCLI script to help with this.
I found the Copy-Datastoreitem CMDlet to copy the files to the data store. But technically, /etc/pam.d is the local file system of ESXi, not the host data store.
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this with PowerCLI (or same ESX CLI also)?
Thank you

Copy the file from one drive to the keyword one another &; missing tags
Hello
I use LR 2.7. I want to copy a file from one disk to another disk with the same file name. I thought that you could drag the file, but it is not copy the file into the other drive, can you explain what I need to do?
Also, I tried to import the file to another drive, but it does not copy the keyword tags. Is there a way to do this?
Thank you
Barb
There is absolutely no problem with a lot of files. I think that most people are this way.
To merge a catalog in another, open a catalog and then-> import from catalog and Lightroom point files to your catalog on the other.

I have Windows XP. I have a flash drive with many files that I have on my second hard drive. I just it copies the files that I have on the hard drive and I don't want to have to sit and answer 'yes' or 'no' question about the replacement of files each time that it recognizes a file duplicate. How do I do that?
When you see this double prompt or not, are there not a checkbox that says something like "Always do this for all files" or something in that sense?You can manually copy the files. Here is the CTRL key while you click the files you want and then just drag them to the location on the HARD drive. -
copy the files from the Mac to ESXi
Hello world
I have Fusion 7 Pro installed on Macbook pro machine. After you convert a pre-existing VM format OVA (export OVF tool), I wanted to transfer to ESXi (Esxi installed on Mac Pro) data store but don't know how to do this?
I can connect to my ESXi host using the Fusion (connect to server), but I'm unable to browse data stores. I tried to drag and drop, but that doesn't seem to work either. Am I missing any setting that will allow the drag and drop option? Is there another way to copy my Fusion VMs to ESXi host?
Thank you
As far as I know, Fusion 7 Pro does support load / download of the VM to ESXi directly.
You basically have to connect to the server esxi first. Then on the desired VM Fusion existing (from the VM library) right-click and select Tlchg.

Linux RT - copy the file from the disk on USB
Hi migration my code to a target of VxWorks to one target Linux RT (9068), I'm having problems to run a piece of code that copies files from the cRIO on a USB drive!
This code works perfectly under my VxWorks (and same Pharlaps target). See attached VI.
Some files (100k.txt, 1M.txt,...) are present in the my drive 9068 tmp folder. And I want to transfer them to my USB Flash DRIVE (U).
The two folder exist when the code is running (checked with my WebDAV client).
When running, the copy function returns 'error 8': authorization error.
So I tried to check what was my permission on the folder U: 511. I tried to change the permission to 700: error 8!
I then checked 'who am I'-online lvuser. I then connected to my webpage cRIO-online user permissions => I added my lvuser 'FSRead' and 'FSWrite' rights. The reboot of the target. -Online copy of files always returns error 8!
However, it seems that I can create and write to a file in the folder U... I can read the files in the folder U... but not copy? !! ??
What is going on? Can someone tell me how to copy files from my cRIO on my USB drive? Why is it difficult to do the basic things?
Hi Paolo,.
As described in my second post, file tmp is not the problem.
I wrote to / c or even in/home/lvuser... Has not changed anything.
It seems to me that the cam of problem of the fact that a lvuser (default user executing code lv) can not fundamentally 'touch' files created or modified by an administrator...
In the first link you posted, at the end of the document, it is written:
"Access the file and folder permissions are not applied on targets in real time OR the operating systems VxWorks or PharLap. Objectives NI Linux in real time, on the other hand, use and apply the standard Linux style file and folder access permissions. »
As I am not very familiar with the Linux environment, I might be nice to have more details about access permissions style of this linux standard.

Files that cannot be copied are in bad clusters.
Try running chkdsk x:/b
The /B switch will cause the disk check to reassess the bad clusters and try to fix them again.
Let us know the results.

Copy the files from the thinapp stream
