Deploy the VM model using CloneVM_Task

I am creating a script that will deploy a VM from a template using the CloneVM_Task customization. Finally, I want to be able to deploy dozens of virtual machines from a model very soon but first I'm trying this on a virtual machine. I can't make it work. I used a script of http://communities.vmware.com/message/1064716#1064716 and http://communities.vmware.com/message/1000953#1000953

After that I executed the script in PowerCLI I find progress in vSphere Client.  The virtual machine is created and the task of Clone Virtual Machine is 93%, date at which the task Viewer says it is "customization of the new virtual machine. That's when the vCenter server goes down and when it comes back again I can see in the viewer of the task that the task of Clone Virtual Machine doesn't have a "mistake."

I have attached the script below, all the ideas that I use?

I found!

Remove VMware.Vim.CustomizationGuiRunOnce object and it works:

#$vmcSpec.Customization.Identity.guiRunOnce = new-Object VMware.Vim.CustomizationGuiRunOnce

#$vmcSpec.Customization.Identity.guiRunOnce.commandList = $RunOnce

  • Possible to deploy the OVF model directly from the local data store?

    Hey all,.

    I'm trying to optimize the consumption of resources and the speed of deployment of models of the FVO in ESXi 4.  Of course, the fastest and most effective way to do so would be to have the models of the FVO in a data store and deploy them directly to another (two stores on the same host).  That's what I'm trying to accomplish.

    Problem seems to be that when you use the vSphere client to deploy templates of the FVO, even when you point to the URL of the model on the same host (via http to the data store access) system, the vSphere client again retrieves the ESXi host files, then transfer their return.  So using twice the bandwidth on the host and the client system necessary.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to perform the deployment of a model of the FVO keeping all internal transfer to the ESXi host?  If anyone knows another method more effective than what I'm trying to achieve, I'm open to suggestions.

    All advice is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    -Ben

    The only way I can see that you can keep the internal traffic to the ESX host would be to have the vSphere client in a virtual machine running on the host computer, and configure your internal network Ms keep all traffic to the host

  • Deploy the workflow model

    Hi all

    I have a fundamental question, because I hate having to reinvent the wheel - there all workflows in order to deploy a model?

    Also, I have two supplementary questions:

    • As far as I understand it, deployment of a model actually creates a virtual machine from scratch and clones somehow drive the model and you get a nice VM with an operating system almost ready to work. I wonder if something similar is possible for existing virtual machines - which means that I've created a custom VM and I want to deploy a model of him (so that I get a pre-installed OS). I don't know if this is possible, but I thought I'd ask

    • Deployment of a model does not allow the operator to choose RAM/network - so I think that these settings are inherited from the model. If I need to substitute them I guess I would need to reconfigure the virtual computer after deployment. That would break the BONES inside? I especially would need to add a new network card, define certain MAC addresses, change the RAM and maybe add a few records.

    • Is there an easier way to automatically add a BONE to your custom built VM?

    Thank you

    Adrian

    Hi Adrien,.

    Currently, there is no workflow that can deploy a virtual model computer.

    With regard to your questions:

    1. a model is a master copy of a virtual machine that can be used to create and configure virtual machines. Therefore, you can create a template from an existing virtual machine or clone a virtual machine to the model. In the first case, a virtual machine is converted into a model and in this one, the virtual machine exists and a model for the same thing is created. It is useful to create templates for virtual machines if you want to create multiple virtual machines with the same operating system configurations. Please refer to the administration of vSphere guide, section working with models and clones, http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp40_admin_guide.pdf_, for more details.

    2. setting the RAM/network settings does not exist when you deploy a model that these characteristics are specific to a virtual computer and the model is not a virtual machine. Therefore, once you deploy the virtual machine, you can reconfigure the virtual computer by changing the RAM and other parameters of n/w. And this will not affect/break VM guest OS.

    3. can you be more elaborative when you say "an easier way to automatically add a BONE to your made-to-measure VM?"

  • UIMessage customized by the treatment model using batch

    Hello

    I have some difficulties, try to use the UIMessages in batchmodel, but first let me explain my situation:

    I use a PXI to test 6 DUT, knowing this, I wanto to use the model batch in teststand and send data to the User Interface customized using UIMessages, I pretend to not display data in 6 different (one for Mineral USE) charts, I a VI that atquires the current temperature, HAD tension, etc. What I do is to use the my VI RunState.TestSockets.MyIndex to get the current index and selection switch the apropiated chanel as (not), in fact right now I am able to send the voltage had TO or other data thoriugh a UIMessage. BUT my problem is that I am not able to send the real SocketIndex in the same UIMessage with the power to the instrument to TEST, and then this way my event reminder UserMessage can differentiate the test with his partner SocketIndex data and update the various graphics or custom indicators.

    I don't know if my explanation is clear, but I'd appreciate any help in this post, thank you.

  • How to set the attributes of the relationship in the logic model?

    In my case, I want to set some attributes in a M:M relationship between two tables (for example: start_date and end_date) and then these attributes of the relationship which will be included in the relational model in the form of columns of the table created for solve relations M:M.

    Hello

    There is no support for attributes in relationship. You should go directly with the entity of the intersection.

  • Deploy the VM from a model using personalization and passage of IP information

    Ok

    It is not as it should be so difficult, but I can't make it work.

    Here's the deal, I have several different models that we deploy since.  I also have a different customization for each of these models.

    In the customization, the only information that must be provided at deployment time is intellectual property information.

    For example, if I want to deploy a VM of Windows 2003, I would use my 2003 Windows and customization model.  In this file, all information Windows are specified and the only items that I need to specify is what will be IP from Nic 1 and what will be the nic 2 IP.  Does anyone know how to pass these variables in order to deploy the machine?

    This command also works a long time that I do not specify the intellectual property information.

    New-VM - VMhost ESX1 - VM1 - Windows_2003_Template model name - data store Datastore01 - OSCustomizationSpec

    I have 2 cards I need to configure under construction.  In the customization file, I said to prompt the user for the IP address, but the gateways, dns servers, wins servers, are already configured.  The only variable, what will be the real IP.  How to get those 2 IP addresses in the customization of the OS cmd.

    New-VM - VMhost ESX1 - VM1 name - model Windows_2003_Template - data store Datastore01 - OSCustomizationSpec-ipaddressnic1 10.10.10.15?

    New-VM - VMhost ESX1 - VM1 name - model Windows_2003_Template - data store Datastore01 - OSCustomizationSpec (what happens here)

    I saw several post, but have been unable to get a response.  I use the latest version of powershell. (4.1)

    LucD,

    Thank you! that little powercli was almost exactly what I was looking for.

  • Clone of the model using the same file on disk

    I have 'Machine virtual Deploy form this model... ". "and on the new VM from the disk file points to the path of the template.  In the store of data info it shows the DS that I chose to place the new virtual machine, but also the DS that stores the model.  I saw the same thing with a model of RHEL 5 and SLES 10.  Thank you.

    You must re-create the model, cause the vmdk file was not duplicated and was used by the virtual machine.

    If you have the same problem again, call VMware to check why it occurs.

  • Deploy the fglam and agents using puppets?

    Hello

    I was wondering everyone deployed fglam or other agents through puppets?

    Any information you share will be great.

    Thanks in advance

    GS

    Hey, GSA,

    Sorry I'm more the Foglight person in my company I only get to see come to the forums to help out a colleague.

    Yes, we have entirely puppets running for our fglams and Wssf. It was boring, you're linux Debian or company founded? Quest unfortunately does not support standard deb/RPM, perferring an installer of owner. If you need make your own. I am happy to send you a copy of our 64 bit RPM. It's about 120 megs. Just throw it in your rest and you should be good to go. Ideally if you need to build your own to make sure that you can keep up-to-date with the latest agents and pieces of fglam.

    Discover this - http://blog.yo61.com/building-rpms-from-ruby-gems-with-fpm.html

    I recommend the staging of your cartridges in advance when you build the RPM. For us, it was worth the extra space in the RPM to compensate for the time that should be a cartridge via the script on the network. Using this method I have cartridge legacy/IC/Apache and customized all in place so I can save some deploy times. It is somewhat important in larger environments due to a problem known in Foglight on the deployment of wagons/creation and activation of agents the time it can take is VERY random.

    In our tests, we had 500 machines archive on a clean server FMS (5.6.4 at the time). Some would take 2-3 minutes to complete, some would take 20! PSO went to dev and they have never been able to understand why delays random when you start the agent script check in the back to the rear. But since you can't count on it fill inside your run time of the puppets you should reduce the time it takes.

    Don't forget that Foglight is not updated with the scale/config friendly management. They store a lot of config data in databases and use IDS in their configuration files that are made by ther FMS. Thus, it can be difficult to handle most things. You end up having to write a lot of execs once. Glad you sent a copy of our manifesto if you wish. I have just to sanatize it. I found it easier to do was run as a 'touch' inside a folder in the % fglam % of indiecate installation directory which have executed elements.

    One thing you might want to, is your vm.config scheduled start at the fglam. Then will happen. Otherwise you; He's eventually do custom made for your ID Agent Foglight who ends up being a nightmare. You can apply your logic of setting JVM at the time of installation. It won' just manageable tbe.

    You can create custom providers to exploit different groovy scripts, but honestly this isn't worth it unless you might be working for Quest PSO. Be sure to place a 'idea' to get Foglight more user-friendly automation, configuration management and scaling tools. If enough of us let them know that these scalabiltiy is a factor for us they could get it in next Foglight.

    Another thing to remember as you automate you must ensure your FMS travels and erase data from all machines on its own topology. In my first POC run, I forgot about it and after about a month, the FMS ran terrible everything by supporting only 5000 guests. After I cleaned the topology and reset, there great. Since then, I just rule the kickoff to 4 hours to clean up the obsolete data and it has worked great since I did that.

  • Deploying the file of cod using OTA (On The Air)?

    Hi all

    I have developed a small blackberry app and you want to deploy using the OTA. I sent a war file that includes the .jad, .cod and .alx files. But when I run the URL and try to download the jad file, it gives me error.

    "http 907 404 invalid COD error not found "

    Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Manish Kumar

    The .cod file, the compiler creates is usually an archive other cod files.

    Extract the original .cod using WinZip (or another application) to another directory, copy the .jad file to reside next to the extracted file to cod and to change your URL accordingly.
