• Run scripts PowerCLi PowerCli console?

  Is it possible to run scripts PowerCLi PowerCli console?

  I want to use the batch with PowerCli orders orders... and I'm stuck on adding entries PowerCli keyboard console.

  You don't need the parameter of hard disk, the hard disk is passed through the pipeline of the cmdlet Get-disk hard.

  If the virtual machine has more than 1 hard drive, you use a Where clause to select the hard drive you want.

  Get-disk hard - VM "MV0857-gastela" |

  where {$_.} Name - eq "Hard Disk 2"} |

  Together-hard drive - CapacityKB 20000000 - confirm: $true

  You can call PowerCLI cmdlets, but be sure to connect all first.

  Something like this for example

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile  "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1"  -command "connect-viserver MyVC | out-null; Get-VM"
  

  Have you set the execution policy for PS?

  Make one

  Get-ExecutionPolicy

  To change you could do

  Game-ExeecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

  Just do it once.

• Types of lists vNic script PowerCLI

  Does anyone know script PowerCLI export the following information in an Excel spreadsheet?

  1. the virtual computer name

  2. IP address

  3. Mac address

  4 port Group

  5. type of virtual network adapter (vmxnet3, E1000, etc.)

  Number 1 and number 5 are the most important for us at this immediate moment.  I have to identify the virtual machines do not have vmxnet3 adapter, so we can change them.  Thanks in advance.

  Try this

  Get-VM | Select Name,
      @{N="IP addr";E={[string]::Join(',',$_.Guest.IPAddress)}},
      @{N="MAC addr";E={[string]::Join(',',($_.Guest.Nics | %{$_.MacAddress}))}},
      @{N="Portgroup";E={[string]::Join(',',($_.Guest.Nics | %{$_.NetworkName}))}},
      @{N="NIC type";E={[string]::Join(',',($_.Guest.Nics | %{$_.Device.Type}))}}
  

• Definition of the level drive shares with PowerCLI does not

  I am trying to build a quick script that pulls a cluster of virtual machines from a text file, then changes the value of their share of disc normal level to high. I've never used this before command in powercli then that I was just trying to get the syntax right in a single line to the console. I can use the Set-VMResourceConfiguration command to set the CPU shares successfully and memory to high, but when I try to define the actions of high disk command has been executed, but the actual value does not change in the virtual center of normal to high as it does for CPU and memory settings... Has anyone ran into this behavior before? Virtual machines are running version 10 hardware and have updated tools. Thanks in advance.

  

  You must specify the actions by disc

  Maybe not the best way to do it, but it works

  Get - VM VM | Get-VMResourceConfiguration | Game-VMResourceConfiguration-drive (HardDisk Get VM) - high DiskSharesLevel

• Try to understand the problem of script PowerCLI

  I'm a Beginner PowerShell CLI rank, but it has been on my list of things to get my head around for awhile, so I was playing with it for a week or two and have managed to solve most of the problems with the search, but for now I'm adapting a PowerCLI script I met a personal project to automate the creation of a vLAB and I don't understand not the problem well enough to be able to properly research could do with a pointer if possible.

  The script that I started with is http://poshcode.org/?show=1547

  The part of the code that I have problems with is line 25 in the original code that is:

  $rpool = for ($i = 0; $i - lt $vmhost.length; $i ++)

  If I run just this line from a prompt, I get the same error that is displayed below:

  [vSphere PowerCLI] C:\ > $rpool = for ($i = 0; $i - lt $vmhost.length; $i ++)
  Lack of closure ")' in the expression."
  On line: 1 char: 22
  + $rpool = for ($i = 0; < < < < $i - lt $vmhost.length; $i ++)

  I found that if I omit the "$rpool =" then this line of code executes, but then I can't use the results (even if I concede that someone who knows what they might be able to!) )

  So, as I understand it well enough to make this code work?

  The rest of the script is adapted to my where I created virtual machines from scratch rather than models, environment more I deal with three hosts but except that it is essentially the same.

  Pointers appreciated!

  (I would have commented on the site hosting the original code, but I couldn't find all the means to do so).

  Kind regards

  Paul

  For me, the command returns the numbers from 0 to 6, all as you would expect. It seems that there is something in your PowerShell session that prevents the statement to run correctly. Looks like you have redefined the command to something else. Maybe an alias or function.

• PowerShell / script PowerCLI is not execution of the stimulus package SRM

  I posted this in the community of the Site Recovery Manager, but thought that the PowerCLI community may be able to help as well. *****

  I can't run a script PowerShell to a recovery plan, even if I can't run interactively from the SRM of recovery server and command CMD run OK.

  Here is the error I get:

  Error: user designed legend "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c C:\test.cmd" has not returned in 300 seconds.

  The recovery plan called test.cmd, which is basically redirected to the PowerShell script.

  REM ===== test.cmd =====
  @echo off
  echo > C:\1.txt
  C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoLogo -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command C:\test.ps1
  echo > C:\3.txt
  REM ===== end of test.cmd =====
  

  Test.cmd called test.ps1, that only creates a CSV file for troubleshooting.

  # ===== test.ps1 =====
  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue     # Load VMware PowerCLI functionality
  Write-Host foo | Export-CSV C:\2.txt
  exit
  # ===== end of test.ps1 =====
  

  Note that I created the process text files to see where the script stops. When I run test.cmd of the stimulus package, 1. txt is created, but 2. txt and txt 3. are not created. When I run test.cmd interactively from the SRM of recovery server, all three text files are created.

  
  My environment is 4.1 SRM and PowerCLI 4.1 build 332441 U1.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Things to check.

  (1) under which the account is the .cmd file and therefore the .ps1 file, executed in SRM?

  Maybe the RS account does not have the same privileges

  (2) I would like to start the PowerShell engine in the with the parameter - NoProfile .cmd file.

  A general Council, try to use the cmdlets Start-Transcript and Stop-Transcript at the beginning and at the end of your PS script.

  Have you ever tried to create a .txt file before loading the PowerCLI snap?

• Authentication and script PowerCLI on demand

  I have a powerCLI script I want to program but I want to do by calling with vRO.  However, I don't want to save my password in the PowerCLI script - I would like the script to authenticate on the server vCenter Server and for example to list running virtual machines once a day.  How can I call this script from vRO without storing the password in the script itself?  vRO and the PowerShell host are on separate virtual machines.

  There are builtin PowerCLI CredentialStore (see the New-VICredentialStoreItem).

  An alternative is the method described in password encrypted local store in a PowerShell script

• Is - this script PowerCLI obsolete?

  In an ESX 5.0 environment, I have a group of VMFS data store ten stores of data visible to a group of thirty-two guests. Each data store uses currently multipathing fixed to each host, but I want each data store instead use repetition alternated for all guests. I found the following on https://runningvm.wordpress.com/2010/08/31/vsphere-powercli-multipath-policy-script-examples/ ((troisieme paragraph):

  #Sets policy of multiple paths for all EMC LUNS (naa.6006*) connected to all hosts in the Cluster RV00 to roundrobin

  Get-Cluster RV00 | Get-VMHost | Get-ScsiLun - CanonicalName "naa.6006*" | Game-ScsiLun - MultipathPolicy "roundrobin".

  It promises to do exactly what I want, but page was published in 2010 and I fear it may be obsolete. Everything in this script still works in ESX 5.0?

  Also, can this little script to correctly run its own? Read further down the page linked sixth paragraph and following), I see the author offers a script plus much, much for implementing Multipathing to round robin, and makes me fear that this little one-liner may not be intended to stand on its own and can leave pieces untied and hid the consequences. Can someone comment on that?

  Thanks a ton, everyone!

  Yep, it should always work. I've actually used something similar earlier this week

  The plu script is just a bit more generic (i.e. you request credentials, clusters, etc.) and also defines the strategy of selection of the default path for the type of storage array. Maybe something to do for the new LUNS are configured correctly by default. It does not depend on the use of esxcli.exe, while you could do this with Get-ESXCli

• Problem running script PowerCLI

  Hi all

  I am very new to PowerCLI and I'm looking for someone who can help me with a PowerCLI script I'm running. I found the script online created by someone named Ben on Geekynetworks below.

  When I try and run the script it-error during the New - VM:

  New-VM: A positional parameter cannot be found by accepting the argument '-'.

  C:\VCBScripts\clonetest.ps1:18 char: 8

  Here is the script, can someone tell me what's in it?

  Thanks in advance!

  He should be fine with the add-pssnapin, you have there, moreover, is not to choke on the Get - VM cmdlet that you run earlier, which shouldn't be a problem.

  Make sure that you run in a 32 bit Powershell. The cmdlet New - VM (like one handful of others) will work only in a 32-bit Ppowershell. See:

  https://www.VMware.com/support/developer/PowerCLI/PowerCLI51R2/powercli51r2-releasenotes.html

  The following features of PowerCLI are supported only on 32-bit versions of Windows PowerShell.

  New-OSCustomizationSpec and Set-OSCustomizationSpec

  New-VM and Set - VM (only when it is used to apply customization specifications)

  When running against vCenter Server or ESX/ESXi versions prior to version 5.0, the following PowerCLI functions are supported only on 32-bit versions of Windows PowerShell.

  Invoke VMScript

  Copy-VMGuestFile

  New-VMGuestRoute, Get-VMGuestRoute and Remove-VMGuestRoute

  Set-VMGuestNetworkInterface and get-VMGuestNetworkInterface

  Together-hard drive (only when used for resizing the partitions of comments drive)

  If you run just 'powershell.exe - file path\filename.ps1' of a cmd on a 64 bit OS, it will run the 64-bit default Powershell.

  Run 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe leader path\filename.ps1' to call a 32 bit Powershell.

• executing sql script in ApplicationModule before processing a request

  Hello
  
  I have an obligation to run a sql script, just after the application module is read to process the request and before it actually processes the request.
  Basically, I View object in the AM based on a guaranteed table, that script allows the user to access the data in the table.
  
  Is there a particular method in ApplicationModuleImpl that I can replace to add the execution of the script. Or is there another way to do it.
  
  Thank you
  Anil

  Just replace prepareSession, it is executed each time an appmodule is associated with a user session. If you have just run the code on a specific VO, simply substitute the method executeQuery or executeQueryForCollection (in the VOImpl).
