Differences in strange output of get - vm

Hello

While writing a script today, I came across a strange difference in the output of get - vm.

When running the CLI, I see the following:

Get - vm fw - int


Name PowerState Num CPU memory (MB)
----                 ---------- -------- -----------
FW - PoweredOff 1 256 int

running from a script (viserver-connect, get - vm, viserver unplug) the output looks like this:

PowerState: PoweredOff

If I use get - vm | format-table in the script, I get an error

off-lineoutput: the object of type 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatStartData' is invalid or not in the right order. It is likely that

caused by an order specified by the user "format-table" which is in conflict with the default formatting.
+ CategoryInfo: InvalidData: (:)) [off-lineoutput], InvalidOperationException)
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: ConsoleLineOutputOutOfSequencePacket, Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutLineOutputCommand

If I delete the connect-viserver of the script and run it after you connect manually I get the same result if I execute the command in the cli.

How are these possible differences?

Used PowerCLI version is U1 4.1 build 332441. The vSphere environment is 4.1 (no update 1 yet).

Thanks in advance

Hi Christian,

This happens when your script generates two different types of records. In this case, the output of the Connect-VIserver and cmdlets Get - VM. You can prevent this behavior in your case by changing the line Connect-VIServer in $VIServer = ConnectVIserver.

Best regards, Robert

  • host name of output of get-vievent filter

    Hi guys,.

    I have a question about the host name filtering in an output of get-vievent. for example, I tried to extract only the host name of the following command:

    Get-VIEvent - maxsamples 20000 | where {$_.} GetType(). Name - eq "VmRemovedEvent"} | Sort descending Createduserid | Select FullFormattedMessage

    Already tried some things like split and toppings, but this does not work for me.

    The name of the server is always based on a ground known as SERVER-< description >.

    Sure. For the removed VM also is just an additional line of PowerCLI:

    Get-VIEvent -maxsamples 20000 |
    where {$_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmRemovedEvent"} |
    Sort CreatedTime -Descending |
    Select @{N="VMHost";E={$_.Host.Name}},

    Hello

    This particular Get-Datastore call returns a single object, which cannot be converted to the ICollection. But you can do something like this:

    If ($GetDatastore-[table]) {}

    $array. AddRange ($GetDatastore)

    } else {}

    $array. Add ($GetDatastore)

    }

    It will manage both situations - when you get the data object store or table of data warehouses.

  • What is the difference between the output of the Script and the result of the query?

    Hello gurus,

    In Oracle SQL Developer, during the execution of a select statement running with the "F5 key", I get the output of the Script; And then if I execute the same select statement using 'Ctrl + Enter', I get basically the same data, but it is formatted to be a little different. and using 'Ctrl + Enter' I can adjust and reduce the size of the column (not the logical and physical structure) on the GUI screen to display all columns without having wide apart. What are the advantages/disadvantages to running queries using "F5" or "Ctrl + Enter"? If someone could shed some light on this topic bit, that would be nice.

    HI HAS LUNS,

    Text (f5) is functional, for the better or for the worst dumps select all.
    Chart is prettier - you get a complete data by select grid and scroll within the grid.
    There are a few other minor differences.

    Personally, I use mostly f5 /text/ (sqlplus emulation).

  • Behavior strange table when getting values

    I have a table that contains the TypeDef'd controls and I need to get a reference to the control of each element individually. To do this, I use the values property of the array Index that I put to the index of the item that I want to get. From there on, I can get a reference to the control. This occurs when the value of the table is changed through a simple value change event.

    When you change the value of an element, and then by using the property of Index values for the reference control at this level, the control returned reference is not one that should be. What seems to happen when I change an element in an array, this item automatically becomes the index '0' in the table itself. It's a very strange behaviour and I tried to go around for a little while. I've attached pictures of the screw that I use to show you everything.

    In the first image, I stressed the important portions in green. Going from left to right, the first Green Watch box that I'll put the index at which the table should be starting at 0. The reason I do this is because it is possible that the index display may be replaced by another value and lag between what we expect, it is (0). In the loop for, I set the property to Index values for what is the value of i. This, in theory, loop through all the items in the table, and then I get the value and the reference of this element. In the probe window, you can see the different values of the sons and I will refer to this in a second.

    In the second picture you can see the value of the table on the real front. The values of the sensors in the first picture taken after that I changed the value of one of the properties of the "Alarm 7" line. The value of the façade, it is clear that the 'Alarm 7' index value is 2, but when you look at the probe in the first image there shows that it is at index 0. Anyone know why this is happening and how to get the references to their actual index?

    It is somewhat related to the issue you reported in metric does not exist, but the documentation says it should

    This output, it seems that you are connected to a node ESXi, not a vCenter or both.

    View the contents of $global: defaultviservers to check.

    On a node ESXi, you get only 20 seconds intervals (for the +/-breaking).

    I suspect that this node ESXi was started, where the limited number of parameters returned.

    If this is not the case, then there is a problem with the PerformanceManager on this node ESXi.

  • Batch Move-VM (in a folder) of the output of Get - VM

    Hey guys, I wanted to check with everyone and see if I could get feedback on it.  I do some cleaning and organization and I have most of the script for what I want to do, but currently I don't know how to make through export to a CSV file, and then, by running a separate script to move the virtual machines based on a CSV import.

    Is there a way to do this in a single swift script by referring to the output of the below for use with the Move-VM cmdlet?

    Getting the virtual machine I need to navigate:

    Get-VM-location "data center" | Get-PassthroughDevice |

    Select * | Where-Object {$_.} Name - eq "Cisco FCoE HBA Driver VIC"} |

    Format-Table-property @{Expression = {$_.}} VM}; Label="VM_Name";width=25},@{expression={$_. Name}; Label = "PCI_Type"; Width = 75}

  • Output of Get-NetworkAdapter interpretation help!

    Greetings!

    I have before me, to run a script on a block of newly migrated VMs and change the VLAN they are sitting on a simple mission.

    I thought it would be easier to enter the network card and changing the NetworkName field.  However, during initial Get-NetworkAdapter test output, I don't understand the output.

    The machine virtual itself, in vSphere shows as follows:

    • A single NETWORK (e1000), sitting on Vlan63 card.

    When I take the virtual machine and it's via $vm adapter | Get-NetworkAdapter, I get the following result:

    Name                 Type       NetworkName  MacAddress         WakeOnLan
                                                                      Enabled
    ----                 ----       -----------  ----------         ---------
    Network adapter 1    e1000      VM Networ... 00:50:56:a9:03:93       True
    Network adapter 1    Flexible   VM Networ... 00:50:56:a9:04:26       True
    

    That was weird, so I have that filtered down for this bit:

    Name                                        NetworkName                                
    ----                                        -----------                                
    Network adapter 1                           VM Network Vlan62                          
    Network adapter 1                           VM Network Vlan20   
    

    No idea how to interpret this, or why it displays how... through various other filters, it shows that the Vlan20 adapter is disconnected... but again once when I'm looking at the configuration of the virtual machine in vSphere, there is just a NETWORK card and it's on Vlan63.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Strange problem of Getter Setter in interface

    compiler says: 1059: property is read-only.

    all solutions?





    put ction someInt

    Just to chime in... I'm not sure how familiar vakhtangi is with ACE and don't want him to get discouraged by false information by a person with a lot of reputation points. He knocks on the interface is the right thing to do and the type of implementation will not help (and of course also will not accomplish the goal of using Interfaces in the first place).

    I think what actually happens are the IGet and ISet are defined separately, then combined in ISomeInt. When you try to set the value, the compiler considers as separate and straightens the first IGet (this is the order specified in ISomeInt), which specifies someInt as a read-only property. It is a strange but not illogical behavior. It's probably an edge case that never took place at Macromedia/Adobe.

    While 5237783 is just fine, to be a little more explicit about why you get what you see...

    With the help of the procedure of the range is in fact an arithmatic operation. Current line + /-1 (depending on the sort order) gives the value of range of procedure. 200902 is 1 unit before 200901 responds so the procedure 1 range, but isn't 1 unit before 200812 200901. You may know that the activity represents year/month, Oracle does not, there are just a number.

  • Differences in output when executing 11.3 unit test environment 12.2 MRLS?

    Hello

    We do stable unit of an existing MRL 11.3 using 12.2 and get some Diffurences spacing of the variable field.

    For example, we have a text box that prints "receive information: < < NAME > > and other entities..." output of 11.3, but 12.2 output we get:

    "receive information: < < NAME > > and other entities..." where an additional empty space appears to be added between "n" and ":" and the end of the field and the next character.

    12.2-

    122-113 issue.JPG

    The only thing that differs is the environment in which the MRL has been tested.

    Everyone has similar problems, and how this has been addressed?

    Are there other differences of output that have been documented somewhere for review?

    Thank you.

    FSISYS PDF settings have been the cause.
