  The cmdlet Get - Log do not create the destination folder if it does not exist, so you will need to test for this condition.

  AFAIK, you don't need to connect to each ESXi individually when you are connected to the vCenter.

  Since the discharge of generated log file name is rather cryptic, I rename the file normally and add a timestamp.

  You could do something like that

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $FilePath = 'S:\Get-Logs\Logs\$($clusterName) ".

  If (!) ((Test-Path-path $FilePath)))

  {

  Novelty - ItemType Directory - Path $FilePath

  }

  $varHost = get-Cluster-name $cluserName | Get-VMHost

  {foreach ($ESX to $varHost)

  $destPath = "$($FilePath)-$($ESX.). Name.Split('.') [0])"

  If (!) ((Test-Path-path $destPath)))

  {

  Novelty - ItemType Directory - Path $destPath

  }

  $logName = get - Log - VMHost $ESX - Bundle - DestinationPath $destPath

  If ($LogName)

  {

  Rename-Item - Path $logName - NewName "$($destPath)-$($ESX.). Name.Split('.') [0])-$((Get-Date).) ToString('yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm')).

  }

• F0169 (host name ESXi) service profile could not apply the configuration

  I just created a new vNIC on 2 of my new hosts. I created the pools MAC address before you start. As I create the vNIC I got the following error:

  Your changes:

  Created VNIC FTNNIC

  Create: network fault tolerance

  Fail the Configuration of:

  There are not enough global resources

  Not enough available vNIC

  Are you sure you want to apply the changes?

  I click Yes, and then get F0168 error service profile could not apply the configuration?

  What I do wrong here and how to fix it?

  Can you please more information, for example

  -What type of Blade model, input-output adapter

  -Version UCS

  -ESXi version

• Obtain the host name

  Hello

  I created this piece of Powershell to know if some hosts report a store of data as inaccessible.

  $listdatastores = get-Datastore

  ForEach ($DS in $listdatastores)

  {

  $DSView = get-views $DS

  ForEach ($MountHost to $DSView.host)

  {

  If (-not of $MountHost.MountInfo.Mounted)

  {

  Write-Host $DS. Name $MountHost.Key $MountHost.MountInfo.Mounted $MountHost.MountInfo.Accessible

  }

  If (-not of $MountHost.MountInfo.Accessible)

  {

  Write-Host $DS. Name $MountHost.Key $MountHost.MountInfo.Mounted $MountHost.MountInfo.Accessible

  }

  }

  }

  The result is:

  UTRDS120-T1 HostSystem - host - 388. true false

  UTRDS120-T1 HostSystem - host - 267. true false

  UTRDS120-T1 HostSystem - host - 51. true false

  UTRDS121-T1 HostSystem - host - 388. true false

  UTRDS121-T1 HostSystem - host - 51. true false

  Which is good, because it tells me that some data warehouses are inaccessible. Now, it would be nice to also report the name of the ESXi host, but I do not know how to return to HostSystem-host-388 to an ESXi host name.

  Gabrié

  Try like this

  ForEach ($DS in (Get-View - ViewType property Datastore-name, host))

  {

  ForEach ($MountHost to $DS.host)

  {

  if(-not $MountHost.MountInfo.Mounted)

  {

  Write-Host "$($DS.)". Name) $((Get-View-Id $MountHost.Key-nom de la propriété).) "Name) $($MountHost.MountInfo.Mounted) $($MountHost.MountInfo.Accessible).

  }

  If (-not of $MountHost.MountInfo.Accessible)

  {

  Write-Host "$($DS.)". Name) $((Get-View-Id $MountHost.Key-nom de la propriété).) "Name) $($MountHost.MountInfo.Mounted) $($MountHost.MountInfo.Accessible).

• ESXi host change IP back to the old Configuration in vCenter

  Hi all! I'm having a problem with a host computer in my vCenter. I had 2 guests and both were in the same network. I moved to a remote site and change its IP from 10.10.2.253 to 10.10.3.250.

  While I'm trying to connect it to the vCenter, he connects well then (in vCenter) he's trying to connect to his old address IP 10.10.2.253.

  I have reset the vCenter, database, but it still does not work. When I move first the host at the remote site, I did not disconnect. I deleted it just (may be the source of this problem).

  Can someone help me on this one? A big thank you.

  Hi Alex,

  is it possible for you to create a record of host DNS (A) for this remote ESXi host name and then add to vCenter using its FULL domain name rather than IP address?

• Get the FULL domain name host name

  I'm trying to use Split() to reduce the FQDN down to the host name.

  For example:

  Get - vm | Select name, @{N = 'ESXi host name'; E = {$_.vmhost.} Split(".") [0]}}

  For some reason any my split function returns a white instead of just the host name.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  VMHost is an object, not a string. You must use:

  Get - vm | Select name, @{N = 'ESXi host name'; E = {$_.vmhost.} Name.Split(".") [0]}}

• LDAP authentication for ESXi hosts

  Hi all

  I want to authenticate ESXi hosts only against an AD domain and I discovered a few procedures already.

  I have a doubt on one point: is - this required to join each ESXi to the domain? Does this mean that I need to create an AD for each ESXi object.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Daniele

  I believe all you need to do is create a DNS pointing to the ESXi host record and make sure your ESXi host name is a COMPLETE (host.domain.com) domain name.

• List of ESXi host and data managing paths

  can someone help me with a script to list the ESXi host name, then their data management of path for each data store that they are connected to?

  Thank you

  MikeP

  Sorry, I thought you ment the other script.

  Try it like this

  Write-Host "Connecting to vCenter" $VCent = "10.2.160.250" Connect-VIServer $VCent -user user -password passwd $VMHosts = Get-VMHost | Sort-Object Name Disconnect-VIServer -Server $VCent -Confirm:$False 
  
  $report = @()
  
  ForEach ($VMHost in $VMHosts)
  {
      $HostName = $VMHost.Name
      Connect-VIServer $HostName -User root -password passwd    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli  -VMHost $HostName    $esxcli.corestorage.device.list() |
      where {$_.IsLocal -eq "false" -and $_.DeviceType -eq "Direct-Access" -and $_.MultipathPlugin -eq "NMP"} | %{
           $report += ($_ | Select @{N="Host";E={$hostName}},Device, MultipathPlugin)
      }
      Disconnect-VIServer -Server $HostName -Confirm:$False}
  
  $report | Export-Csv "C:\report.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  You can try to change the Where clause to see all the plugins multipath.

      where {$_.IsLocal -eq "false" -and $_.DeviceType -eq "Direct-Access"} | %{

• ESXi 4 - changing IP and host name

  Are there any known issues or needed additional steps beyond to enter the ESXi configuration console to change the host name and the IP of the server ESXi 4 existing (4.0 U2) and import in vCenter if physically move one envirment to another server (i.e. a Server Blade environment vsphere 4 test to another box to Prod vSphere 4)?  Or are there additional steps necessary?

  Also, would there be problems within ESXi if just to swap hard drives, if the servers are of the same model (i.e. blades HP dl480 G6)

  It's a fairly simple process to change the name of host or IP address - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006710.  If the host is currently bound to vCenter you can remove everything first.  Then you'll just join the host of your vCenter production after your changes in the same way that you would join a new host.  You can check the file on ESXi hosts to make sure that the host name is updated correctly and see if all custom entries has been added.

  You can swap disks, but you may need to correct assignments NIC after and you will need to check things if you use remote storage.  ESXi also uses the MAC address of the vmnic0 for the MAC from the management port so you'll want to update that to avoid the possibility of duplicate MAC address should end up with the two hosts on the same subnet.

• 8.3 OMSA @ ESXi 6.0 U2 @ R515-> cannot log into the website OMSA to ESXi HOST.--

  Hello guys.

  I've updated my ESXi of U3 5.0 to 6.0 U2 and I lost my OMSA. I can not connect from the web page.

  For the update of the host, I used this ISO file:
  . VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0.update02-3620759.x86_64-Dell_Customized-A00.iso

  After that, I installed OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-WINX64-8.3.0-1908_A00. EXE to a VM W2012S to this host. I can open the web site to connect, but when I try to connect to my ESXi HOST, I received this message: failed to connect... connection error.

  When I saw that I began to check a few things, I ran: 'list of vib software esxcli' and I saw:
  Name Version Date seller installation acceptance level

• vCenter ESXi host reporting

  Hello! Anyone can help with this, I need a report or just a certain number of CPU cores available on all hosts of ESXi connected to a specific vCenter, or in this case vCenters multiple and the output with the amount written to a file. No host name or other information, as the sum of all the cores available?

  Something like that?

• VIServer - connect to an ESXi host

  We have virtualized just the server that runs our vCenter services.  Now, we found that we would like to increase the number of processors available on the virtual computer.  Unfortunately, hot CPU is not activated on the VM, then we are stuck in the dillema that need vCenter to change the settings on the virtual machine, but not being able to change the settings when the virtual machine is running.

  We try to use PowerCLI to achieve this.  If I understand correctly, we should be able to connect directly to the ESXi host to change the settings of the virtual machine while it is turned off.  However, I was unable to establish a connection to the host using Connect-VIServer.  When I try the following:

  SE connect-VIServer esxihost.domain.com - root - password rootpass user

  I get an error message can not complete the connection due to an incorrect user name or password.  I am able to connect to our vCenter very well using Connect-VIServer, but it serves me in my scenario.

  I noticed that Connect-VIServer only supports HTTP and HTTPS, but our ESXi hosts only run SSH.  It is possible to connect to a host without vCenter ESXi running?

  Oh ffs... too bad.

  All our hosts use the same password with the exception of a handful that are different (for some reason that no one can remember).

  Guess which include this particular host is in?

  Kill me...
