  Hi, George,

  I think NoMedia - Set-CDDrive switch, it's what you need - it Peel host device or iso file.

  Get - VM | Get-CDDrive. Game-CDDrive - NoMedia-confirm: $false

• Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

  Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

  SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

  This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

  y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

  Thank you, Joe

  It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

  Edit:

  Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

• The host system resources / booking via PowerCLI

  Hello chaps,

  Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the CPU and the memory that is reserved for a host via PowerCLI?

  As far as I know, there's no cmdlet for this, but you can use the UpdateSystemResources method.

  You just need to know that the key to the Scriptures "host/system".

  $esx = Get-VMHost MyHost 
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostSystemResourceInfo $spec.key = "host/system" $spec.Config = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceConfigSpec$spec.Config.cpuAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo$spec.Config.cpuAllocation.reservation = 800$spec.Config.memoryAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo$spec.Config.memoryAllocation.reservation = 800$spec.Config.ChangeVersion = $esx.ExtensionData.SystemResources.Config.ChangeVersion

  Thank you

  The Select-Object cmdlet does not return the name of the LUN as a string, but as a ScsiLunImpl object.

  The New-Datatsore cmdlet requires a string for the - Path parameter.

  You can do

  $con = (Get-ScsiLun).CanonicalName
  New-Datastore -VMHost 192.168.1.1 -Name newDS -Path $con -Vmfs -BlockSizeMB 1

• Obtain the Mac address for Guest-VM

  Hi all

  I would like to help to provide a document html (with convert-html) with three columns (VM name, Type (detached or manual) @MAC, @MAC).

  I have search the forum and I found the command line in order to get all the mac for all VM addresses: Get - VM | Select name, @{Name = "MAC"; expression = {foreach($nic_in_(Get-View_$_.ID).guest .net) {$nic.macAddress}}} but detached or manual settings or not display.

  Could you help me?

  Thank you for your help.

  The addressType property is not in this object.

  With this script, you should get the type of MAC address

  Hi Kevin,.

  I made an example to show how you can copy the iso file to a data store, and then plug it into the CD drive on the virtual machine:

  $Datastore = "Storage1"
  Get-Datastore $Datastore | New-DatastoreDrive -Name ds
  New-Item -Type Directory -Path ds:\ISOfiles
  Copy-DatastoreItem -Item d:\pv\0.iso -Destination ds:\ISOfiles\0.iso
  Get-VM -Name SDGRP008 | Get-CDDrive | `
  Set-CDDrive -IsoPath "[$Datastore] ISOfiles\0.iso" -Confirm:$false

• Advantage of the MAC address cloning?

  What is the advantage of the MAC address cloning?

  There is no "advantage" to clone the MAC address. The only benefit would be to have internet or not.

  In many cases, it is absolutely useless to use the clone MAC address. If you have an internet connection through your router, then there is no need to use the MAC address cloning feature.

  Only when you find that you have a working internet connection on a computer directly on your modem, but not when you connect through the router (or another computer directly into the modem) then it is necessary to use the MAC address cloning feature.

  Usually, this is only the case with cable TV ISP. They allow you to have an active internet connection single at any time. They do this by remembering the MAC address which connects via a specific modem. If you connect first a computer for testing directly to your modem, you will have an internet connection. Now if you connect a different device to your modem it does not work is because the ISP has always blocked the internet connection, the MAC address of the first computer.

  How to remove the lock depends on the ISP and the modem. Sometimes just reset the modem or to turn everything off. Sometimes you turn off everything for a few hours and after that the first connection device is the one with the internet connection (i.e. make sure you connect the router then...) If you want to know exactly how your ISP to do this, you need to ask...

  The simple solution is to use the MAC address cloning feature. The router "clones" the MAC address of the first computer, i.e. it basically pretends to this computer. The MAC address is accepted by the ISP and is immediately authorized to the network. You have a working internet connection on the first computer, either through the router directly because both use the same MAC address. (This is no problem on the router because the MAC address is used on the internet port only...).

  Of course, remember all this. If at some point later, you connect another computer directly to the modem (for example you have connection problems and want to know what is wrong) you can "lock" in a different MAC address for your connection and you will have to wait to find the connection to a different device.

  But once again: there is absolutely no need to use the clone if you have an internet connection through your router.

• Recover a VM working directory Via PowerCli

  Anyone know if it is possible to query the location of the working of a computer via PowerCli virtual directory?

  I'm looking to sort the VM based on data warehouses their working directories reside on.

  I guess that hard to drive still has the name 'disk 1 '. To retrieve only the primary drives and exclude others, we only select the hard drives with the name 'disk 1 '.

  Get-VM | ForEach-Object {
    $VM = $_
    $VM.HardDisks | `
      Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "Hard disk 1"} | `
      ForEach-Object {
        $HardDisk = $_
        $Report = "" | select-Object Directory,VM
        $Report.Directory = $HardDisk.FileName.Split("/")[0]
        $Report.VM = $VM.Name

• Grabbing the VM via PowerCLI ipaddress

  Hi all

  I'm familiar with in order to see the IP addresses for a virtual machine running the following:

  # Take all the virtual machines through this point of view

  $a = get - view - viewtype virtualmachine

  # Assume the 1st VM has multiple IP addresses

  . $a guest.ipaddress [0]

  Who would kick out me the array of IP addresses for the given virtual computer.

  The problem that I face now is when I do this same thing, pulled back data are a UNIQUE IPaddress for each virtual computer. I can't understand what has changed. I have confirmed using the cmdlet Get - VM will pull the IPaddress info, as I am used to. initially, I chose the path of VIEW since I am faced with a large number of virtual machines and the view was much faster than the Get - VM cmdlet. If anyone has any suggestions or questions please let me know. Thanks for reading!

  I'm going to be stationary in the channel IRC Freenode #powercli for the next day or so until is put to bed in some measure of closure ^. ^

  PS - I noticed something is the property of _.guest.net.ipaddress $ is not retained (not sure if this is the choice of the right word) when taking the opinion of the GET and exporting via CLIXml (export-clixml); in export .xml this _.guest.net.ipaddress $ does not exist from what I see. My original thought was just to grab all the data of the VM-display another environment and then export via CliXML, back to home port and chopping away. Looks like I'll need to manipulate a little more on the other end-environment before return to the home port. See you soon.

  Try this:

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine. Select @{N = "IP"; E = {[string]: join (",", $_.)} Comments. net. IPAddress)}}

  Also from my side, I don't see an IP address in the comments. IPAddress, but in guest.net.IPAddress they are all listed

• Windows 2008 R2 as a guest cannot get the IP address of the server (VMware workstation 7.1.3 on Windows 7) professional

  Hi gurus,

  I installed VMware workstation 7.1.3 on my Windows 7 laptop professional x64bit and I can run my old VM (XP) without any problems in this regard. And I tried to install a new client (Windows 2008 R2 Standard x 64) on this subject, when I put the NETWORK card in the deck, he cannot get the IP address from my DHCP, always show me error "Windows has detected an IP address conflict...". ", I tried the IP static installation for her also, same result.

  I tried to install a new windows Server 2003 as a guest (also defined as a network bridge), it works very well, can get the IP address from my DHCP or can set a static IP address with no problems. Does anyone have a similar experience on this combination? Any solution to this issue?

• PowerCLI can not change the IP address of the virtual machine

  I am relatively new to Powershell and PowerCLI (as in 1 week ago relatively new) and I'm falling through the procurement process about 12 VMS on a recurring basis for one class.  I can deploy VM template very well, however I would attribute a specific IP addresses the VM once they are done sysprep'ing.  I use Powershell 1.0 and PowerCLI 4.0.1 Windows 2003 VM (also vcenter in this box).  The virtual machine, I am the deployment is also Windows 2003 and sysprep very well.  This is the section in my script that I use to set the IP address:

  $net1 = 'LAN '.

  Instead of filling the variable followed by setting the network card by specifying the variable can you just try the interface and piped to the set command?  I have repro had your problem, but got it to work in this way:

  Get-VMHost MY_ESX_HOST | Get - vm MY_VM | Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface |? {$_.name - eq 'Connect to the Local network'} | Game-VMGuestNetworkInterface - static IPPolicy - gateway 192.168.1.1 - Netmask 255.255.255.0 - Ip 192.168.1.5 - Verbose

  To meet the "necessary powershell in the prompt is", the answer is no.  You use the powercli command creates a file of commands, uses vix, or the equivalent of copy-vmguestfile or vmscript-invoke to call the file of orders for the customer... that's a CMD file on the guest.

  Now, there is a problem where vmguestnetworkinterface controls were assuming that was the name of the interface "Local Area Connection *" so naming anything other than that would break the script.  Not sure if this is yet, but I can check a little later.

  Hope this helps,

  Alex.
