• Clone a virtual machine / move to folder / delete VM / as a Powershell Script as a scheduled task ends with "ongoing"

  Hi all,.

  I would kindly ask your help with a script that needs to run as a scheduled task. It is functional, but does not correct and little need for love at the end...

  I want to create a script that

  • find a virtual machine with a pattern on its behalf (realized and works)
  • delete a virtual machine with a reason given in his name (completed works)
  • create a clone of a virtual machine (completed works)
  • move that created clone (upstairs) and move it to a folder named (open)
    or the fact in the clone process
    
    

  I realized thus far:

  The script itself runs so far and does what it should, but the scheduled task is always "in process of execution". Now, I created a work around in this way, I have finished the task after two hours of running; but there must be a better solution that works properly.
  As well as the part with the rise of the virtual machine.

  Could you maybe help me or have a good idea how to solve this problem?

• How to record a custom message / event in the virtual center of the virtual machine

  Is it possible to record a personalized message in the virtual center of the VM?

  I use a vCLI script to reset a virtual machine. I want to report where (PC) this script is launched.

  And it would be great if it is possible to report to the event list or task of the virtual machine that will be reset.

  You can relate from where and which this script is initiated by the following script

• vCenter shows all virtual machines and the host is disconnected

  Hello

  I have a two nodes in the cluster ESXi6 U2 (recently updated to 5.5) running on hp dl380p gen8. For some reason all the virtual machines are running on host A (HA and DRS are enabled).  vCenter shows all virtual machines and host A is disconnected. Cannot connect to A host using vSphere client or web client. Cannot vMotion the VMs. Impossible to activate SSH. Connection DCUI works very well. Cannot perform any action VM

  All virtual machines are in place are running at this point. I don't want to restart the virtual machines. Can you help me please?

  Thank you

• VCO get virtual machines by name never ends

  Hello

  I have a problem, when I run the virtual machines by name get, nothing is returned and it never ends. I have another script that tries to do:

  VcPlugin.getAllClusterComputeResouces)

  and it ends never either. I did successfully before but no it does not, it is as if something is wrong with the vCenter or something. If I log in the vCenter I can look up and see all the clusters and virtual machines, but I can't ask him to the VCO.

  Any ideas on this would be useful.

  Thank you

  The issue was the vCenter for this device VRO had run into issues and querying the vCenter did not work from the VRO device. After restarting the device of VRO polling was very good.

• Cloning a virtual machine running Live - destination of the is an exact match to the source at the beginning or end of the cloning process?

  Hello

  I'm not a VMware Expert, so please forgive my noob question.

  I was invited to migrate files from Windows Server 2003 to 2012 servers, and I intend to use cloning as a way of copying the VMDK with data from the file to the new server of 2012.

  I created a script with vSphere PowerCli, which made a clone of the source and, once the cloning is complete, it stops and disables the Server service on the Windows of the source virtual machine operating system to avoid changes in the source of this point in time.

  But I noticed, I have start by making a snapshot.

  Question:

  Changes made to the source VM when creating the clone will then be synchronized at the end of the cloning process, so that the destination virtual machine will be an exact copy of the source, at the end of the cloning process?

  Or destination VM will correspond only to the source of the VM at the time of the opening of the cloning process, and all the files that have been updated on the source VM when creating the clone will be lost on the destination?

  Thank you for helping me to get a clear understanding of the present!

  Best regards

  Changes made to the source VM when creating the clone will then be synchronized at the end of the cloning process, so that the destination virtual machine will be an exact copy of the source, at the end of the cloning process?

  Laughing out loud

  Or destination VM will correspond only to the source of the VM at the time of the opening of the cloning process, and all the files that have been updated on the source VM when creating the clone will be lost on the destination?

  Yes, the destination will be the data from the time you start to create the clone, because a snapshot will be created on the beginning of the process and the basic of this hat of the VM disk will be copied, all changes made on the source VM will be writing about the delta file and these data will not be copied.

• Call recording on the virtual machine running on Cisco UCS

  We evaluate the requirements for implementing call recording in our environment. Ideally the call recording server to run as a virtual machine on an ESXi host running like a blade on a Cisco UCS. I know that I need to set up RSPAN between my physical switches and turn the "Promiscuous" mode on my vSwitch which would be connected to the virtual machine. Where I'm stuck, how the NETWORK adapter that is connected to my vSwitch would be able to sniff this traffic? Are there requirements when I implemented the vNIC on the UCS or VMWare or under the physical being connected to the span port card desired traffic will get to my VM as a controlled traffic?

  Thank you.

  No we are not running Cisco UCM. We have a 3rd party VOIP solution. I think I got the answer I need... we need to order a series C for our UCS Server manage the recording of calls.

  Thank you.

• Students cannot "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices.

  I will start with this context (and apologies for the wall o ' text): I'm a newbie.  I took the course VMware local community college offers [VMware ESXI Server Enterprise (CIS197)], but I've not yet certified. And I don't have a real experience, except what I have taught myself so far.

  I recently accepted a position of learning associated with the College (think: glorified lab tech). I was tasked to work with stuff from VMware in the laboratory (among other things such as Cisco and Juniper equipment). There is no pass-down information like the previous left the position four months ago.

  We have a single host running ESXi 348481 4.1.0. "We have vCenter Server (5.5.0, 1312298), running on Windows Server (2008 R2, Enterprise Edition).  Access host and vCenter through two different IP, addresses using the vSphere client (either 5.5 or 4.1, using a single application - depends to know if I connect to the host or vCenter).

  At that time, the host is using local storage only (we have plans to change this, but it will take time).  The host is not a production on its own server, because it does not have a school systems.  He does, however, run a number of virtual machines in the lab, students use (Linux, Microsoft, Web design, etc.).  So, right now, I can't take it down.

  I was tasked to create a number of virtual machines that students can use to make the basic labs of Microsoft Windows 7.  So far, I have:
  -Created users, one per student, on the host.
  -Creating VMs, deploy one per student, I have a gold model vcenter.
  -Creation of roles to limit the access of students to just their VM attributed, which they access via client vSphere.
  -Created a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller that is also a DHCP server.
  -Created a virtual network, which is accessible only by the Windows 7 virtual machines and is not visible outside the vSphere environment (if I said this right - he does not see the Internet or school network).

  So far, it's all good.

  However, I need to be able to allow students the ability to edit the ISO file on which their VM points in order to complete some laboratories. I guess they would use the button "connect/disconnect the virtual machine's CD/DVD devices" on the taskbar (or console window). It does not work.
  I searched a lot and found that others have had the same problem.  However, all of the solutions I've tried so far have failed.  When they click 'Connect to ISO image on the data... store. "they get an error message means nothing to me,"an internal error has occurred in the vSphere Client. Details: Object Reference not set to an instance of an object. Contact VMware support if necessary.
  The role that I use for students has these settings:
  -Data store > Browse the data store
  -Virtual Machine > Configuration > change the settings of the device
  -Virtual Machine > Configuration > settings
  -A bouquet under the virtual machine > Configuration >
  -Configure CD media
  -Console interaction
  -Connection of the device
  -On
  -Power off
  -(and more, which I don't believe are important to the question)
  -State > create the snapshot
  -State > go back to the snapshot

  I tried "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add existing disk", "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add new disk" and "Virtual Machine > Configuration > add or remove an instrument" with no luck.

  Either by the way, the root account can do all these things, but no other account can - not even a game as an administrator account.

  I've seen mention I have apply the role in the data store.  It is perhaps part of the problem. I can't see the data store when I am connected to the host (wellll, I can, if I click on the host name, then on the Summary tab - but roles do not apply at this stage).  I see is 'Inventory' (which has virtual machines and Pools of resources), 'Rôles' and 'log files '.

  I can see the data store when logged in vCenter. Roles of students, however, are defined on the host computer. If I clone the role of users in vCenter and change this role cloned to have "permissions" that those who are on the host computer and then apply it to the data store, it still does not work.

  So, after all this (which I hope I've included all the necessary information), what can I do to allow the students to change ISO to which they are connected?

  Of course, if I left something, or if someone has a question, please ask.  I want to get this resolved as soon as I can.

  It turns out that I finally found the solution to the problem.

  What 'fixed', it is sufficient to vSphere Web Client to vCenter, which then allowed us to use Single Sign-On (SSO).  This, in turn, allowed us to define users and roles in vCenter (rather than having set them up directly on the host computer) which have then been applied to the VMS of students and also to the data store.

  Now, they can (de-) connect their ISOs at will.

  I find it interesting that vSphere Client (application) shows the users (and the things that they have access to), but it won't let you set of users.

• FT-record/replay feature is not supported by this virtual machine Windows Server 2012

  Recently I came across a bug when I created a virtual machine with the latest versions of 5.1.0 - ESXi 838463, Client ver 5.1.0 - 860230, vCenter ver 5.1.0 - 880146.  If you create a virtual machine on a Server Windows 2012 farm for some reason any recording/playback is disabled and you cannot implement fault tolerance mode.  I found a good solution.  You delete the virtual machine to inventory, and then re-create the virtual machine as a Windows 2008 R2 server and use the virtual machine that you deleted from the original disc of the inventory rather than create a new one.  Then turn on FT.  Then, go into the settings and change the operating system to Windows Server 2012.   Fixed a problem.  If all goes well they will fix this soon.

  Jimmy S.

  Default adapter for windows 2012 is E1000E, which is not supported for RecordReplay FT.  If this is the case can you please try with another network card and see if it helps.

  If this is not the case, can you please upload vm-support bundle or file a support ticket.

• VCO allows to disconnect the removable devices on multiple virtual machines

  Hey everybody,

  I am new to vCO and trying to get wet feet.  I noticed there is already a "workflow" for disconnection of any removable devices, but you can only apply it to a virtual computer at a time.  I tried and it worked, but I would like that it run on a schedule and do all my virtual machines.  I did some reading and think I need to use the workflow batch to get there.  I read that I had to complete her run a Workflow on a selection of objects and then fill the filling batch configuration elements.  Is it true or I read that wrong?

  Before that, however, I tried to start running it a workflow on a selection of workflow objects.  For my item type, I chose VirtualMachine.  I selected no, for the Action or of the elements of the array.  I can go through and manually set the virtual machines (which is hard enough to do one at a time, but I don't know how to use an appeal to get back them again).  However, when I choose a workflow, the window of the selector is just empty.  I should have the permissions because I am an administrator in vCO and overall environment.

  I am completely off track here?  Is there a better way to do it?  Or am I just missing a step?  It's all in 4.1.1.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  OK I found how you did it. You have renamed the local parameters of entry and vmNb.

  For example, your script should look like this:

  

  Instead:

  

  If you did not replace full box yet, you can go on the in / out tab and double click on the local parameter rename them to the counter.

  Like this (it is not very visible here, but the local counter setting is being edited)

  

• Virtual machines based on statement records

  I'm looking to count the number of virtual machines that are contained in each of the top level folders in vCenter Server.  For example, there are 10 top-level folders - in folder1 of higher level, there are 200 virtual machines (including all folders under this folder), and in the 2 top-level folder there are 250 mV and so on.

  Any contribution appreciated - thank you!

  Greetings, @TheVMinator-

  This can be done quite easily by using the parameter - NoRecursion on Get-file.  So, assuming that the folder structure is something like:

  myVCenter
    smallDatacenter
      + topFolder0
      |   + subfolder0
      |   + anotherSubfolder
      + topFolder1
      |   + thisFolder0
      |   |   + deeperFolder
      |   + subfolderHere
      + topFolder2
      |...
  

  You can use the following to get the top-level folder names and counting the number of VMS in each top-level folder and all their subfolders:

  ## get the given datacenter, then get the built-in "VM" folder, then get the top-level folders there, and foreach top-level folder
  Get-Datacenter "smallDatacenter" | Get-Folder "VM" | Get-Folder -NoRecursion | %{
       ## create a new object that contains the folder name and the count of the VMs in this folder and all of its subfolders
       $oOutput = New-Object -Type PSObject -Property @{
            "FolderName" = $_.Name
            "VMCount" = @(Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -SearchRoot (Get-View $_).MoRef -Property Name).Count
       } ## end New-Object
       ## write out the info
       $oOutput
  } ## end Foreach-Object
  

  This will display a single object by top-level folder, each with the name of the folder and the number of VM for the folder and all its subfolders.

  Enjoy

• Data Center migration of virtual machines and records from one data center to another.

  So, I found an online script that migrates your inventory during one vCenter to another.  I broke the script into two pieces that export (path of the folder path of the VM folder, permissions of folder and notes and custom attributes) and the other to import (create folders, move the virtual machines in the original folder, reset the permissions and set notes and custom attributes).

  The export script works very well.  I have problems with the import script.  If I have the name of the duplicate folder in the tree view of the structure of the tree will get duplicated under each similar folder.  i.e.

  Exported folder structure

  Portuagal-> football

  Spain> football> football

  Any folder structure

  Portugal> football> football

  Spain> football> football

  I guess I should somehow figure out the ID of file but don't have a clue where to start.

  I rewrote the section import of files of the script to avoid the problem of duplicated folder. The new script detects the parent folder by starting to look at the record of the root instead of just the folder above where it should be created. Because the full path is in the .csv file it is possible. The following script should now work correctly:

  ##IMPORT FOLDERS
  $vmfolder = Import-Csv "c:\Folders-with-FolderPath-$($datacenter).csv" | Sort-Object -Property Path 
  
  foreach($folder in $VMfolder){
       $Path = $folder.Path.split("\")
       $PathLength = $Path.Length
       $SubFolder = Get-Datacenter $datacenter | Get-Folder vm
       For ($i= 1; $i -lt $PathLength-1; $i++) {
          $SubFolder = Get-Folder -Location $Subfolder -Name $Path[$i]
       }
       New-Folder -Name $folder.Name -Location $SubFolder
  }
  

  Because the forum software has problem with hooks and contains the script, I have attached the vCenter_migration_import.ps1 script has changed.

• Possible to suspend a virtual machine, and then disconnect the SAN?

  I decided to do an interview on a small environment ESX 3.5 and I was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.  If I record data suspends storage local would this work? Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save?  There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

  was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.

  A suspension is identical to a power off, it shows just the guest to Hibernate.  So yes, it is safe.

  Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save? There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

  No its not faster, its more fast and more reliable to power off the virtual machine rather than suspend.  If you need to follow the process and suspend its critical use, otherwise a scheduled interruption is better.

• The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

  OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

  I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

  After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

  Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

  Nothing else was changed.

  I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.
