Delete the files from/usr/lib/vmware/hostd/docroot/downloads with Powercli

I'm tying to achieve the same goal as their example of cron in this KB with PowerCLI or c#:
http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026359

We have tools that bring together our newspaper bundles ESX/ESXi and ship it to Vmware support for analysis, but the files never get removed from the * / downloads directory on the host.

We have a mixed esx 3.5 / 4.0 to esx / esxi 4.1 environment. I prefer not to run local cronjobs on the hosts. Someone at - it a good way to handle this with PowerCLI or c# code against vCenter?

Thank you!

Jeff

On the ESX servers, where you have a COS, you can use the command subsequently plink.exe alottt.

There is an example in the HBA information: PowerCLI wire.

On an ESXi server, you can use the same procedure, but it requires a bit more.

And the environment that you are connecting is somewhat more limited compared to the COS.

See the example of policies to change password on ESXi

  • How to delete the files from my HP ePrint app after download / print?

    Can someone tell me how to delete the files from my HP ePrint app after that I downloaded and printed. Thank you

    jmsandkds,

    I apologize for the confusion. Options you speak of "photos, web and file" are located on the phone somewhere, lets say you click files. When you click on files, it will search the phone for available files that are able to print the ePrint app. To the extent where they are on the phone, you will need to search for them via the search screen, connection to the computer, or some files are program specific and only available in this program to be read, edited, or deleted.

    I hope this helps.

  • Is it safe to delete the files from the System 32 > DriverStore > Temp folder?

    I was do a cleaning on my system and find files and temporary folders in all directions. I was wondering if it is safe to delete the files from the System 32 > DriverStore > Temp folder.

    Thank you

    Nothing in the Windows or Program Files and files their subfolders should be left alone.  You won't earn a significant amount of disk space, and you may cause to yourself untold trouble sleeping herein.  Use instead the provided Windows Disk Cleanup.  You can get to it by clicking on start-> computer, then click on the C: drive and click Properties.  On the general tab, you will see disk cleanup.  Use it and you will be safe (and not sorry).  Everything you personally placed on the computer can always be removed of course as long as you do not try to remove installed manually the software (use the programs and features in the control panel for this).

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Impossible to delete the file from Windows Media Player

    I'm on Windows 8 and tried to remove an artist from my Windows Media Player library. It does not work it just did nothing. Instead, I deleted the file from my music folder, but the artist remains in my library and now does not play the file.

    How can I fix it?
    Is there someway to prevent that from happening again with other music files?

    Hey Tapper,

    I suggest you to clear the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem still occurs.

    To do:

    a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.

    b. Select all files in the folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    Note You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. press the Windows key + R and type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

    b. Select the Media Player folder, and then click delete on the file menu.

    c. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    I hope this helps.

  • Pull information from /usr/lib/vmware/vm-support/bin/swfw.sh

    What is the best way to pull information from the report and treat?  Ideally, I would like to put the content in a kind of table and query through to different things, I want (versions of components etc.).  Thank you!

    Are there elements that people are aware of which are not contained in the output?  Seems to contain a lot of information system (bios version, firmware disc etc.)

    $User = "root".

    $Pswd = "password"

    $Computer = "server name".

    $plink = "s:\Putty\plink.exe".

    $plinkoptions = '$Computer-l root - pw $Pswd.

    # launch ssh

    Get-vmhost $Computer | Get-vmhostservice | where {$_.} Key - eq "TSM - SSH"} | Start-VMHostService-confirm: $false | Out-Null

    $cmd1 = ' /usr/lib/vmware/vm-support/bin/swfw.sh > usr/lib/vmware/vm-support/bin/output.txt'

    $remoteCommand = ""' + $cmd1 + "'"

    $command = ' echo there "+" "+" | "+" "+ $plink +" "+ $plinkoptions +" "+ $remoteCommand

    # run remote command

    $msg = expression invoke-command $command

    $msg

    # Disable ssh

    Get-vmhost $Computer | Get-vmhostservice | where {$_.} Key - eq "TSM - SSH"} | Stop-VMHostService-confirm: $false | Out-Null

    You seem to redirect the output of the command into a file on the local file system.

    Why is this?

    If you leave the output come from the screen, it should be later in the $msg variable.

    And I suspect you easily retrieve the necessary info with a RegEx expression.

    What information you want to extract exactly?

  • can I delete the files from the backup.backupb folder?

    I'm trying to restore a backup time machine on a hard drive that is smaller than the backup. It is safe for me to delete unnecessary files from the backup.backupb folder?

    Actually, no. Deleting files directly from the sparebundle will lead to file corruption.

    You have a Vista installed?

    If yes then there is a hidden partition on your HARD drive.
    This hidden partition is created automatically by Vista and it contains the necessary backup files.
    If something will go wrong on your HARD drive or with the Vista operating system would be able to repair the system using the files from the hidden partition.

    The question is now; do you want to delete this partition, and for that you may BONES can be restored if something will go wrong?

  • I would like to delete the files from recovery

    Hello

    Until I take my computer to get fixed, I did a complete backup of my files, etc.  Because the computer has not crashed as I thought it might, I needed only to recover the portion of the music from my backup.  I ran the restore files and the computer restored a full copy of my hard c drive.  It takes a majority of space on my hard drive and I would like to know if I can delete these files.  They are stored on c: / / System Recovery / and then two cases: c - what is a complete copy of my c drive and the music that is a copy of my music files.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Yes, you can delete the files that you find is not necessary in this case. Make sure that you back up the files you need to another location so that you can use them later if necessary.

    There are files in my library that I deleted the files, but the items still appear in my library.

  • How can I delete the files from my property?

    Somehow some of my documents ended up in my file of cloud (active). I see options for sharing, download, everything except DELETE. I'm sure there's an easy way to remove the files, but for some reason, I can't! Help!

    --PB

    Deleting files is a two step process (think Trash on Mac OS X or the Recycle Bin on Windows). You move the files from the Archive and then delete them.

    With a browser sign with Your Adobe ID on the current site at https://assets.adobe.com/files.

    Switch default to the mosaic to the list view (so that it is easier to select several files at once).

    Then click the top checkbox to select all the files, click on the blue buttonand select the action from the Archive .

    Then in the menu on the left select the filter to Archive, then you are at the https://assets.adobe.com/files?filter=archive. Now click the link Archives empty close to the upper left. In the overlay dialog box that appears, click delete .

    I uninstalled a program, but I can't delete the files. When I "think" I deleted (recycle emptied) they reappear later. How can I get these on my computer? Oh, and it still shows on my installed programs (w/34.5 MG program sometimes stays, but no msg is used) and when I click on uninstall, it says there is no such file or directory. But there are? Me sorry I tried the shareware.  They are in c:/user/programfiles /-programs are PC Confidential by Winferno, SRS Studios and Stardock Objectdock.

    Assuming that you have uninstalled via the Control Panel, software (not only deleted the folder of the application) it might help to reinstall the offending application and uninstall it right afterwards.

  • Deleting the files from control 11 GR 2 OEL5 - strange behavior

    Hi all

    I installed OEL5 on vmware WS9 and edition of Enterprize 11 GR 2 running.

    I tried to simulate the loss and the eventual recovery of the control as file:

    1. Enter the parameter control_files

    NAMETYPEVALUE

    ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------

    control_filesstring/ u01/app/oracle/oradata/ORCL/c
    ontrol01. CTL / u01/app/oracle /.

    ATA/ORCL/control03. CTL / u01/a
    pp/oracle/oradata/orcl/control
    ctl 04.the

    2 remove the control file ' / u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/control04.ctl ' using the OS utility

    -Ideally, as far as I KNOW from my reading, at this point the Forum should have crashed.

    Instead, he continued on. I could even create a table and logfile after removal of the control file.

    Journal Alerts had no enteries related to the loss of control until that point file.

    3. Nevertheless, moving on I tried to stop immediately. This gave the error:

    ORA-00210: could not open the specified control file

    ORA-00202: control file: ' / u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/control04.ctl'

    ORA-27041: could not open the file

    Linux error: 2: no such file or directory

    Additional information: 3

    and also filled the alerts log

    4 the judgment

    and subsequent startup nomount, followed by changing the parameter CONTROL_FILES it fixed.

    Shouldn't the Instance of crash if one of the multiplexes of the controlfile copies is lost?

    If something is changed in the 11 GR 2 - a new feature?

    With any * NIX system when you issue 'rm filename' & the file is actually held OPEN by 1 or more processes.

    everything that is done is that the inode entry is deleted from the directory file.

    In fact, nothing happens to the file according to rm licensing.

    Only after the last closed process the file & releases the file handle is actually returned to the operating system disk space.
