Create a tree of directories VMS in vCenter (with file check)

Hello

I continued with this workflow to create a directory of folder VM on vCenter.  I'm having a problem with the function, on the:

var found = subfolders.indexOf(folderName);
        if (found == -1) {
            System.log("Building folder " + folderName);
            var newFolder = parentFolderObj.createFolder(folderName);
            System.log("Built directory: " + folderName);
            return newFolder;
            }
        else {
            return;
            }
        }

If the folder does not exist, the script runs as expected and creates the directory correctly.  When the folder does not exist, I want to ignore and move on to the next value.  The error message I get is:

[18:16:18.782 2013-07-03] [I] subfolder name: Prod
[18:16:18.784 2013-07-03] [I] subfolder name: UAT

  • Questions about creating a list of directories.

    I am aware that it is possible to create a list of directories and how to add items to the list in Windows Explorer.

    One of the points that I would like to add is the type of Compression that is displayed in the details pane of the properties listing of image files.  So far I could not find a way to do it and apparently no printed programs and list directory available (the least the ones I tried) will be either.

    Any suggestions as to how this can be done will be appreciated.

    Your $vmview variable contains an array of objects VirtualMachine, not a single object VirtualMachine.

    And the ReconfigVM method is called on a VirtualMachine object, not on a table.

    What you can do

    $spec = new-object vmware.vim.virtualmachineconfigspec $spec.Tools = new-object vmware.vim.toolsconfiginfo $spec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = 'upgradeAtPowerCycle'
get-vm | % {
    $_.Extensiondata.ReconfigVM($spec)
}

    The appeal for each VM of separately in a foreach loop.

    The VirtualMachine object is available through the Extensiondata property. So, you can call the ReconfigVM method on this property.

  • Create a tree of a single object View table

    Hi all

    I use Jdeveloper 11 g PS2

    Can someone tell me how to create a table of tree of a single VO?

    Looks like Frank Nimphius has posted an article on this entitled 'how-to create a picture of the tree to a single object View and how to get access backstage for the data lines' but all links to it repoint towards http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/overview/index.html. I couldn't find it on Connotea, nor was it explained in the book the Oracle Fusion developer's Guide.

    I have no problem, creating a tree with two table, but it is redundant in my case, because the tree is based on a car that references the table. My association of entity is already created that binds the parent_id column column id. And I have a link to view based on the association of the entity. I also create a view for my VO that filters the parent (parent_id = null) records and criteria applied to the instance of VO in the data model. I also have a detail THAT VO from my view link.

    I drag the object instance view my page of the data control panel and select create table tree. In the Edit Connection dialog tree, I press the icon ' green more "to create the level rule tree to the child nodes, and then select the accessor to display the child records and he applies it my rule of high level (normally with two your I get a rule of the child based on the accessor). When I run the page it seems to work a certain number of records but I get duplicate at the end lines and page crashes.

    I'm sure it's something simple, I am on here. Any help will be appreciated.

  • What permissions are required to download a VM from vCenter with 11 workstation

    Greetings,

    Currently, I'm using VMware Workstation 11 to connect to vCenter server. I do not administer VMware infrastructure but need to download VMs in vCenter Server on my local computer by using the workstation. However, when I try to do that, I get the error message "vim.fault.NoPermission." I have permission "Virtual virtual machine download Machine.Provisioning.Allow", but this doesn't seem to be enough. What are the additional permissions do I need to achieve this.

    Also as a separate issue. What permissions are needed to download a VM on vCenter. We do not need this feature initially, but it would be nice to know if we want to implement in the future.

    I appreciate all help you provide.

    So after enough effort, I solved my problem. One of the things I noticed is that whenever I tried to do a download from the workstation, I noticed a newspaper get created called OVFTool.log. That's what tipped me off to this particular process using the OVFTool to run and complete the operation. This data, I started researching the permissions needed to perform operations using the OVFTool. I came across this article from VMware:

    Near the top of this document, he asserts that the privilege required to export a model from the FVO is vApp.Export. I thought "Hey it's worth it." So this was the authorization that has worked. We also paired up back all other permissions and determined that this is the only permission to download a virtual machine of vCenter.

  • Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager)

    Since the update Windows 10, my CS5 Photoshop created jpg are no longer visible in Windows Explorer (File Manager).  I have reset Photoshop like application default for jpg files, rebooted.  Nothing has changed.  The ideas people?

    Hi R_Kelly,

    Hidden folder/file settings was the first place, I checked and kept checking each new reboot.

    I have copied below my temporary solution I posted in another forum thread.

    See point 7.  I found a way to make it visible again.

    1. I can see all jpg files created before Win10 update AND all the jpgs created by other programs, other than Photoshops after Win 10 update.

    2 Photoshop cannot see the newly created Photoshop created jpg files in the file picker at all since Upgrade to Win 10.  I've never had a problem of invisibility of file before winning 10 update.  My hidden files were always checked to be visible.  However, Photoshop can open if listed files in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

    3. the files are not visible or clickable at all in Windows Explorer tree or the Photoshop file selector. They become open and visible when listed in a basic text file search in Windows Explorer in the path of the file "recently used".

    4 Microsoft Office applications can't see the new Photoshop created Jpg files in file, only pre Win 10 update pickers jpg created by other applications and versions.

    5. the problem occurs only with Photoshop jpg created after the Win 10 update.

    6. I checked the settings "Show hidden files, folders and files of the operating system", and they remain as they were, which allows all the hidden to visible objects.  I kept the visibility settings files in this way since the early 1990s.

    Temporary fix below *.

    7. I did yet another simple search of the text Windows Explorer, he finds invisible jpg files less all links 'recently used' who were there yesterday (2nd day after I created the files), I checked the location of file properties file and it entered the original file I saved their.  Using a right-click of the mouse on the file to bring up the menu actions and file properties, I was able to copy and then paste the file into another directory.  I jumped on the directories to see if it remains visible and he (Yes). The new copy is now visible to the pickers of file in Photoshop and Microsoft Office applications.

  • Best practice help to spend again vCenter with linked Clones

    Hello everyone

    I searched for days, but couldn't find a way clear of hover over our view 5.2 installation of a new vCenter.  The equipment was aging, and we decided to upgrade and move to 5.5.

    We have rebuilt and forwarded via our guests not VDI to the new vCenter 5.5 environment. I found a few documents, but nothing that tells us if it can be done actually.

    We tried to go in the service of the composer initially to the new instance of vCenter and maintenance, we do the DB on the old Victoria Cross, if it worked I émigrerait the DB above the new Victoria Cross

    We first tried these steps however VMware Documentation Library after removing the old VC service composer and installed on VC New (with ODBC connections mapped to the old VC) it wouldn't work.  We were moving to the VC 5.1 leaving guests ESXi running VDI attached to 5.1

    Then I did more research and discovered the related clones are all related to the database of the old VC and moving them is not possible per this KB KB VMware: workstations managed by moving between servers view vCenter is not supported

    I saw an article here that suggested dumping a bunch of DB and rebuild the new VC with the same name and IP address, but I can't do so because the new instance is already upwards and on a new host name / IP migrate view VCenter (with linked Clones) to new hardware

    I also found this where someone is in the same boat and suggested to recreate pools.  The discussion is not in the details so I wonder if someone can clarify this: migration View Composer and vCenter

    I have about 20 people on VDI in a combination of clones using 3 connected pools and personal drives.  Given that all the info from linked clone was linked to the former base of VC, it doesn't seem wise to move it to the wire.  This would be possible: I still have the base image with all the snapshots for each pool.

    • Persistent backup drives
    • Note the configuration of each pool
    • Disable the commissioning
    • Create DB on VC 55 composer vacuum
    • Create the ODBC connection for composer on VC 55
    • **
    • Do more ESXi hosts to 55 VC
    • Remove existing VMs (will be not able to connect to them at this point anyway)
    • Remove the old VC entry admin view / delete existing pools
    • Install the composer on 55, and then tap new ODBC
    • Create new instance vCenter in Admin 55-pointing mode
    • Recreate pools
    • Import and attach persistent disks (http://pubs.vmware.com/view-50/index.jsp?topic=/com.vmware.view.administration.doc/GUID-BDFCCEC8-682F-4421-8810-06108CBE8D20.html)
    • Recreate events empty DB on 55
    • Reconfigure the parameter DB events in Admin mode

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't find an exact way to do

    Well, I'm pleased to say it worked! I had a few problems by removing existing pools. View repeated deletion but nothing happened. In the end I had to use ADSIedit to connect to the server to manually remove all the old discs VM and pool

    After the installation of the composer on the VC 5.5, I was able to create a login in admin mode and then start to re - create the pools.

    We were able to successfully reattach each disc persistent owners planned.  Did some spot checks and desktop users, bookmarks etc. all worked

    It is a tedious process, but it does not work. I hope that VMware can create an article for it.  God knows that I searched for days, I had to read a lot of things just for this plan.

  • VCloud direction to connect to Vcenter with 3 groups.

    Hi all

    We have a vcenter with 3 groups, we want to connect the vcloud Director to a single cluster where we have virtual distributed switch. We want to manage the other two clusters with vcenter. Is it possible to connect a single cluster in vcenter vcloud Director. Also is there any document allowing to learn about how vcloud Director will communicate with vcenter when connecting and after.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Vikram.

    Yes, it is possible.  When you create a 'provider' in vCloud Director... you select the Cluster that you want to use as resources gross calculation.  Then, when vCloud Director creates items in this provider, it will be only the cluster you had selected.

    The connection is via the SDK for the most part, on port TCP 443.  This is the same as the vSphere client installable.  If you are looking for our KB system there is a diagram of network for reference. (1030816 KB)

    Have you tried right clicking on the shortcut to the program or the .exe and select "Run As Administrator"?  Perform, even if your user name is an administrator.

    Try right click on the actual Setup.exe and choosing the option "Run As Administrator"?  Perform, even if your user name is an administrator.

    Windows XP Mode (Windows 7 only, but not one of the Home versions) "you are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 Professional, enterprise or full to run Windows XP Mode."    If you have an old XP CD (or other older Windows CD) available you can simply download the Virtual Machine and spend the XP Mode download.

    This warranty covers the gambit set of VMS in the 'Home' versions if you want to have a look.  Of course you will need a licensed copy of XP to install and run in any of them (except XP Mode).

  • Red vCenter - unable to check CA (PSC) signed SSL certificate vCenter VMware

    I am trying to deploy a new Horizon view 7 based on vSphere environment 6 U2 to replace our pod 5.3 view existing. I have a Windows Server vCenter Server with separate PSC of Windows. I used the PSC signed the SSL certificate for vCenter and downloaded and added the certificate authority root for the required workstations and servers via Group Policy. If I navigate to vCenter from your desktop with CA root installed all is well on the HTTPS front. I added this vCenter Server in my environment view but it appears in red on the dashboard view. I clicked on the vcenter Server and checked the certificate, but at no time should you go green. The two connection servers have the CA root installed and if I launch a browser from the connection to the server itself, then navigate to the vCenter FQDN certificate is approved.

    Any ideas?

    I cannot create pools for this reason that the view is not currently communicate with vCenter as well and it won't let me choose a virtual machine model.

    If you need to know more details please let me know and I'll happily supply.

    Thanks in advance.

    Having re-read the Horizon view documentation 7 to confirm that I had taken the correct steps already, I decided to restart both of my new server connection, that solved the problem. My vCenter server now shows in green in the dashboard and I was able to successful deployment of desktop computers.
