Disable the host followed via PowerCLI

• Profile of security / firewall Possible to disable the host itself?

  Hello

  
  I use a fixed IP address, which is given by my ISP and access my ESXi host. In my configuration, only 1 IP access for guests using the vsphere client. I tried just sure my host and I think I made a big mistake because now my ISP changed my IP fixed without informing me and they cannot redeploy back. So I can't access my host now. Apparently I forgot to add an IP more towards the security profile and I locked myself. I see the host's screen if I want to add another IP or remove the IP of the host itself screen restriction. Is this possible? I can't find option to do this. SSH was disabled and limited also with the same IP address. Lock mode has not been activated. I have 2 important virtual machines running on the host's hard drive so I don't want to reset the configuration. I need suggestions please if you know another way through the host's screen. I feel really stupid not having any other intellectual property on the security profile. Do I have to reset the configuration to set everything back?

  Kind regards

  Hi deepsecurity,

  Welcome to the community.

  Go to your directly access UI (that grey and yellow) and click Alt + F1. You will enter esxi local shell. You can enter the command: esxcli network firewall ruleset allowedip add and add a new IP.

  I would like to know if it works.

• Return to the current snapshot VIA PowerCLI

  I beat myself for quite a long time trying to find the answer. What is syntax in PowerCli to return to the current (last) snapshot. I have a pool of 50 machines, that I need to do it regularly. I may not know the name of the snapshot or the name must not be the same for all machines.

  Thanks in advance!

  It seems that your copy/paste of the code was wrong.

  Are you by chance using an older IE browser?

  In any case, I have attached the code in a file.

• How do change the "display name" via PowerCLI order?

  Hi, guys.

  I have a question:

  VCenter-> Home-> inventory-> hosts and Clusters, I select an ESX host and -> configuration-> storage card, we can see several LUN storage.

  

  We usually right click on "name" to change the name to correspond with what we see in stroage side.

  file:///E:/1.jpg

  now, we present 90 LUNS for this ESX cluster.

  I wonder if there is a command that we can change the name of the device?

  I tried get-ScsiLun... and I can get the HLU, but there is no 'name' in the outpur...

  could you help please point the right command?

  Thanks in advance!

  You're almost there, but this method requires 2 parameters.

  Something like that

  $esxName = "vh0034msg01.active.tan" $esx = Get-VMHost $esxName $storSys = Get-View $esx.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.StorageSystem
  Get-ScsiLun -VMHost $esxName -LUNType disk -CanonicalName "naa.6006016061902e0062f2319d68e5e111" | %{
    $storSys.UpdateScsiLunDisplayName($_.ExtensionData.Uuid, $_.DisplayName + " test")
  }

• 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.

• Write problems block the memory of the host

  Hi all

  I work with a sbRIO 9639 and followed what I thought to be the recommended procedure to write in the block of memory to the host computer via (see diagram attached host and FPGA implementation). However the operation of the aforementioned code does not actually change the memory and what is available is rather just the previous values (which are persistent).

  However, I am able to write to block the memory directly from the vi FPGA (one) and get the results that I would wait if I then run the host after writing the correct values. In fact, I can now see these values from the host using the read/write Protocol.

  Does anyone have an idea on the cause of this problem? I followed the implementation to write and read from the memory in the examples, but have not found any success.

  I can't possibly comment code NIs because I don't know who wrote, why and for what purpose.

  You can write to the control whenever you want, but if you don't actually read it yet (mark) then you're never going to see the new values.

  Polling station should be avoided on the host programs, but it is not inevitable and normal on FPGA.

  Put the entire program within another loop, and then try again.

• Export data of material state via PowerCLI

  Hello

  I was just wondering if anyone have used PowerCLI for export the xml information of material status for a host to vCenter?

  I'm not really familiar with PowerShell and PowerCLI so I don't know if this is even possible but it would help us to completely automate some pilot third party verification.

  Thank you for your time and help

  Matt

  You can check the driver versions when you are connected to a host without the need for an XML export.

  I've attached a quick script and dirty to write versions of all the drivers in the console.

  Main points of the script:

  Connect-VIServer - Connect to vCenter

  Get-VMHost - lists associated Hosts the vCenter

  Get-EsxCli - access to the host ESX CLI

  $EsxCli.system.module.get("$DRIVER_NAME") - retrieves the VMKernel module (if the system knows about it) by name

  It's just the best way to show how to get information about the drivers. Basically you just connect the vCenter Server via PowerCLI, then connect to hosts one by one. When you are connected to a host, use EsxCli to obtain the driver information (module).

  I also forgot to add a line at the end of the script, so here it is: ' $DISCONNECT = Disconnect-VIServer $VCENTER_SERVER-force - confirm: $FALSE.

• Update vCenter Version but not the hosts?

  I work in an environment where we run vSphere Essentials with 3 guests.  Currently, we always run on 2 hosts 5.5 and 5.1 on the third.  We have only a VMWare subscription right now but they helped 6.0.  Without disabling the host licenses, is there a way to get my driver's license for vCenter only so I can get converted from the Windows version of vCenter to the virtual appliance, make sure that everything works and then not worry to modernize 6.0U2 hosts?  I think there is probably a way, but did not want to upgrade all licenses and to cancel licenses for my guests.

  If it is useful, we've done installing vCenter database are not use VUM right now (if I want to implement in the future).  Any help is very appreciated.

  There is no technical effect in the upgrade of the licenses. When you upgrade a license in the portal, you must confirm that you no longer use the old license. The right way to do the updates is to install the new version in evaluation mode (works for 60 days) and update the license once the old system was arrested.

• Uninstalling vshield app requires a restart of the host?

  We are upgrading vsphere 5.1 to 5.5 and plan to uninstall apps vshield to do a fresh install.  We will migrate the hosts, but not vshield apps, then install new applications in the environment of 5.5...

  Thank you!

  -anne

  Hi Anne,.

  Uninstalling vShield app requires the host to restart and you keep the VMs and then uninstall of vShield manager. This will remove the filters from the NIC--> modules to remove the host, followed by restart.

  If your cluster tolerates the failure of the single host, you can do without virtual machine downtime.

• How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

  I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

  I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

  Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

  Thank you.

  Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

  Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

  First VMware is a company not a product and you didn't say what VMware product you use no you said what OS is on the host or the guest then I suggest you read the VMware product documentation that you are using.  In general, if the Virtual Machine works in the same way a physical Machine so you can do the same between the host and guest in dealing with clients as if it were a physical Machine.

  If you have VMware Tools installed in the comments you can also take advantage of VMware shared folders and or the functionality of Drag and Drop on pris supported operating systems.

• PowerCLI: Enable / disable alarm on the hosts Actions / clusters

  Hi all

  I did some serious research on Google and am about to accept that it is not possible through PowerCLI.

  But I wanted to make a last effort by asking you guys.

  For the ESXi host interview, I want to use a PowerCLI script that does this:

  1. -Disable alarm on Cluster actions
  2. -Disable alarm on the hosts actions
     
     
  3. -maintenance (can be anything, but will include the host reboots)
     
     
  4. -turn on the alarm of the actions on the hosts
  5. -activate the alarm actions on Cluster

  Because we have 300 + hosst ESXi, you can imagine that I want to cela scripted.

  Is it possible to toggle alarm actions via PowerCLI?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Harold

  OK, it seems we are talking about two different things.

  What you want to do can be done from a script PowerCLI.

  Something like that

  $alarmMgr = Get-View AlarmManager $cluster = Get-Cluster MyCluster # To disable alarm actions $alarmMgr.EnableAlarmActions($cluster.Extensiondata.MoRef,$false)
  
  # To enable alarm actions $alarmMgr.EnableAlarmActions($cluster.Extensiondata.MoRef,$true)
  

  The same can be done for a host ESX (i)

  $alarmMgr = Get-View AlarmManager $esx = Get-VMHost MyEsx
  
  # To disable alarm actions $alarmMgr.EnableAlarmActions($esx.Extensiondata.MoRef,$false)
  
  # To enable alarm actions $alarmMgr.EnableAlarmActions($esx.Extensiondata.MoRef,$true)
  

  Sorry for the confusion

• 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?

  (Home > Configuration > Allocation of system resources > edit)

  I usually affect the reserve memory 800 MB and CPU 800 MHz according to the design best practices.

  Thank you

  
  Dan

  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
  $esx.ExtensionData.UpdateSystemResources($spec)
  

• Collect information of the NIC via PowerCLI

  Hi all

  We need to collect the following information about all the cards in all hosts via PowerCLI:

  -name

  -manufacturer

  -version of the driver

  -firmware version

  -MAC address

  We know the esxcli method, but it would take a lot of time that we have many hosts and they would send an alarm to deactivate the lock mode and activating SSH and it would be extremely long and inefficient.

  While Google search, we found this method through Get-EsxCLI (http://jreypo.wordpress.com/tag/powercli/), but for some reason that I can not even list the NICs.
