• Use get - view to get the host data center

  Hey guys,.

  I'm trying to shoot the host number of name and the version with get-view.

  I got to that, but I also want to get the data center that host belongs to.

  How can I get that advice please, don't have Googling has not helped a lot.

  Thank you

  With the ExtensionData property we have access to the object VirtualMachine .

  Most of the managed objects vSphere has a property, called Parent, which points to the object that is connected to our object (the ' mother' in other words).

  The content of the Parent property is a MoRef (pointer). To get the real object, we use the cmdlet Get-view with this MoRef.

  We repeat this process in a while loop until the parent object is an object of data center .

  It's a bit like the structure of the tree in the vSphere Client.

  You start with the ESX (i) server and back up in the tree until you encounter a data center.

• example of Perl to get the host data center

  Hi all

  I try to get the data center for a specific host.  Now I can get the full list of data centers with:

  use strict;

  use warnings;

  use VMware::VIM2Runtime;

  use VMware::VILib;

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  My $dcenter_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = & gt; "Data center");

  {foreach (@$dcenter_views)}

  Print $_ - & gt; name. "," . $_ - & gt; name. ";;";

  }

  But I can't seem to find a way that works to get it to only a specific host, rather then a complete list.  Could someone please provide an example of how to do this?

  So I cleaned up your script a little, mostly some optimizations.  I used the construction in the occupied Palestinian territories: module to add a host name parameter to the script instead of using ARGV.  I changed it so it checks for a valid host view before you start your loop, no point in a loop in data centers, if your host name is not a valid real hostname in your inventory of VI.  Take a look at the label of the LOOP, I cleaned up.   You want to leave the loop after you find the data center.

  Just to show you how much faster my original script is logical, I wrote it also another version of my script using the Perl toolkit.  It was > 3.5s faster on my independent ESX host.  It is largely because find_entity_view() functions essentially look the whole game ManagedObject property reference, which is pretty intensive.  This gets quite slow in a larger environment and is compounded in a nested loop.  Usually, I try to avoid the use of find_entity_view() strongly in my scripts for this reason.

  Do not hesitate to work with whatever version you like best.  I think the good scripts to do the work.

  Find_entity_views() using nested:

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  
  use VMware::VIRuntime;
  
  my %opts = (
       hostname => {
       type => "=s",
       variable => "HOSTNAME",
       help => "Name of managed ESX host",
       required => 1,
       }
  );
  Opts::add_options(%opts);
  Opts::parse();
  Opts::validate();
  
  Util::connect();
  
  my ($host_views, $datacenter, $hostname);
  $hostname = Opts::get_option('hostname');
  
  my $host = Vim::find_entity_view(
       view_type => 'HostSystem',
       filter => { name => $hostname },
  );
  
  unless (defined $host) {
       Util::disconnect();
       die "No host matching '$hostname' found.\n";
  }
  
  my $datacenter_view = Vim::find_entity_views(view_type => 'Datacenter');
  
  LOOP: foreach (@$datacenter_view)
  {
       $datacenter = $_->name;
       $host_views = Vim::find_entity_views(
            view_type => 'HostSystem', begin_entity => $_

                 print "$datacenter\n";
                 last LOOP;
  
            }
       }
  }
  
  Util::disconnect();

• Data center or a Cluster

  Can I create a data center or a cluster? I have 2 computers esxi 5 managed by vcenter. They have about 5-7 VM s between the 2. If these two machines to put in a cluster basically makes like a machine, allowing them to share resources and enabling HA. Then you would want all your machines to esxi on 1 domain under a cluster, which allows you a lot more resources? If that's true then why you just want to add a machine data Center? As I understand it, this seems a waste of resources to me. I'm trying to understand the best config for my domain.  Can you help me understand?

  If you want / need HA and DRS, you use the cluster option.    We wanted only Vmotion and Svmotion so we have never activated HA or DRS so we just add our hosts data Center.

• Data Center information

  Y at - it an easy way to retrieve information from data center in VC such as:

  Number of:

  -Hosts

  -Virtual Machines

  -Groups

  -Networks

  -Data warehouses

  Who is left in PowerShell and the VITK easy.

  Get-VMHost | Measure-Object | Select Count
  Get-VM | Measure-Object | Select Count
  Get-Cluster | Measure-Object | Select Count
  Get-VirtualPortGroup -VMHost (Get-VMHost -Name ) | Measure-Object | Select Count
  Get-Datastore | Measure-Object | Select Count
  

  Note that you can add selection criteria between the two to select specific objects.

  For example, if you want to only count VMFS data warehouses you could do:

  Get-Datastore | Where-Object {$_.Type -eq "VMFS"} | Measure-Object | select Count
  

• Nested ESXi - problem when adding the cloned ESXi hosts to the same data center in vCenter

  Hi all

  I installed a VM ESXi5.5 on top of WOrkstation10 and made a clone of it. Two of them are accessible and functioning very well themselves.

  However, when trying a add these hosts to vCenter, he begins to complain that:

  "Data store"datastore1"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same url.

  and will not let me add the second host. Is there a way to fix this?

  Any help would be appreciated...

• NFS share for one (1) added when adding to a new host in the existing data center

  I'm sure it's a simple answer, but I've been beating my head on the wall, trying to find a solution. The scenario is as follows:

  1 Vcenter has several hosts in different groups. All built at the same time with a NFS share that is shared among all.

  2. I add a new host to the data center (I tried independently and also added to a cluster as well).

  3. the new host sees its local disk as a data store, as expected, but I have to add the shared NFS datastore.

  4. at the level of the host, I go to configuration-storage-add storage and the NFS share.

  It shows and normal with NFS (1) as the name. I can't rename it as it says THAT NFS already exist. I understand that there are in the vcenter DB, but how to add this new host or host an existing environment and maintain the name of the NFS share? vCenter 5.5, 5.5 esxi

  Thanks for your help

• vCloud Data Center hosts certified Services

  We are looking for a hosting provider. Can someone give me a list of what hosting providers expose Data Center Services vCloud vCloud Director auto services portal, where I am able to configure my cloud services based on a pool of resources of clouds we buy?

  I know bluelock is a. Who are the others?

  Thanks, Dave

  Hi Dave,.

  My apologies, a little slow on the response!

  vCloud Datacenter Services addresses in the enterprise space, and only a handful of providers a global level have this certification.  This essentially means that their environments have been jointly designed by VMware and the provider.  They use vCloud Director and expose the vCloud API.

  vCloud Powered suppliers such as StratoGen have built their own environments, but to be certified powered vCloud you must be a partner of provider for VMware Service (VSPP), deployment vCloud Director and expose the vCloud API.  You have a choice of billing models based on the 3 types of data center virtual in vCloud Director - fixed monthly allowance & booking pool models and variable rates by the hour on Pay plans pay as You Go.

  So the difference is really what you consider the market to be in - if you need a global business player then you should watch vCloud Datacenter Services, if you are into SMB or Mid market, then you should probably look vCloud Powered suppliers.

  Many vCloud providers offer a free test drive of their services, so you can try with zero commitment.

  vCloud Express was supposed to be the answer to VMware for Amazon EC2 - instant access to vCloud resources, only credit card payment, distribution plans by the payment of hours only.  Only a few ever offered vCloud Express providers.  You always vCloud Director, but you will see that there is nothing on the vCloud ecosystem as it rolled into vCloud Powered.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you

• How to move from DRS host back to default data center?

  Hello

  I tried to move a host in DRS default Datacenter by drag-and - drop, but the bar held on 2% of the day after...

  Thank you!

  You must isolate the virtual machines on the host before moving. I think that the 2% is due to vmotion on all virtual machines or stop the virtual machine.

  Another way would be to disconnect the host then delete and then re add back. but that means that all VM will appear in another data center. not advisable.

• Getting the data center of VirtualMachine with Get-View information

  Hello

  Y at - it a faster way to get the name of data using Get-View and the viewtype VirtualMachine Center.

  I found the following:

  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -filter @{ "name" = "mtl1fsit02" } | Select-Object -Property Name, 
  @{ Label = "GuestOSName"; Expression = { $_.summary.guest.guestfullname } }, 
  @{ Label = "Datacenter"; Expression = { (Get-view (Get-View (Get-view $_.parent).parent).Parent).name } }
  

  Thank you guys

  I think that the property calculated for the data center does not work in all situations.

  It assumes that your virtual machines are 3 levels down from the data center, which is not always the case.

  I personally use a loop, passing up through the parents, until he finds an object data center.

  something like that

  @{N = 'Center'; E = {}

  $parentObj = get-view $_. Parent

  While ($parentObj - isnot [VMware.Vim.Datacenter]({))

  $parentObj = get-view $parentObj.Parent

  }

  $parentObj.Name

  }

• Need to create a report across data center that summarizes each cluster

  I created a few reports of various kinds, layers to multiple views and used filters for will only display me specific data.  However, I don't find a way to summarize or failure, a report by a resource of the child.

  To be precise, I'm looking to get information about the data at the data center or vCenter level stores, grouped by cluster.  Currently, I can obviously pull 53 different reports and getting these data on a per-cluster basis, but I want to be able to do is have a summary of each cluster in a single report.  Currently, the report is perfectly functional vcenter down to a host, but it displays each individual data store and the summary only I can give is all grouped together, and is not an indication that data warehouses are in clusters.

  Is there a way to do this?

  I would like that the report looks simply:

  Data Center

  Group 1

  Data warehouses

  Summary

  Group 2

  Data warehouses

  Summary

  and so on...

  I am currently on vROps 6.1.

  You can do things with the summary views and the bubble to the top a few statistics by using Supermetrics in some cases, but the possibilities for nesting are today a bit limited in terms of nesting of data visually in views. Of data are what kind of data from the warehouses you trying to show?

• Trying to create a script that lists all clusters in a data center

  Hello

  I am trying to create a script that exports a vCenter configuration essentially and imports it in a new vCenter. I want the script to run without specifying a center of data manually. All the scripts I've seen you need to manually enter the data center.

  So, how to do a list of all the data centers with clusters in each of them? I also want to create a variable that contains the groups for the respective data centers. Here's a basic idea of what I want to do:

  $Datacenters = get-data center

  foreach ($Datacenter to $Datacenters)

  {

  $cluster = get-Cluster-location $Datacenter

  Write-Host "list of clusters in $Datacenters.

  Write-Host "$Cluster".

  }

  Who will give me the output like this:

  List cluster Datacenter1

  cluster2 CLUSTER1

  List cluster Datacenter2

  cluster3 cluster4

  But I don't know how I can get so I have variable like this:

  $datacenter1 = cluster1, cluster2

  $datacenter2 = cluster3, cluster4

  Did you mean something like this?

  Get-data center | %{

  New-Variable - Name $_. Name - value ([string]: join ("," (Get-Cluster-location $_ | % {$_.}))) Name})))

  }
