Export of objects of the inventory of VC to CSV files

Can someone help me develop the following script? I would create five CSV files, one file for each of the following objects in a VC inventory specified:

1. data centers - name, location (e.g., the children of a folder / root?)

2. cluster - name, location (e.g., the children of a folder / data center?), DRS enabled?, DRS, HA mode?

3. records - name, location (e.g., the children of a folder / data center / root?)

4. host - name, location (e.g., the children of a folder / data center?), clustered?

5. resource Pools - name, location (e.g., children of a cluster / resource pool), information sharing

This will be useful for a "backup" of the inventory of VC human readable.

I tried to use Get-inventory but have problems with collecting the parent / child relationships and filter objects by default (for example, root data center, resource pool "resources", etc.)

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  • The dynamic Types shows not all objects in the inventory

    Hello

    I thought I'd have a look at the new feature of dynamic Types in vCO 5.5.1 after falling on this tutorial: tutorial dynamic Types: set up your own Twitter plugin without any script, however - I ran into a bit of a problem.

    So I downloaded the plugin generator of dynamic Types package and run the creating a new plug-in (namespace and corresponding REST host) -it went very well and created the namespace and the REST host as planned.  I then ran the create a new type of plugin and followed through the forms of user interaction and validated all of the received data - it also has been correctly performed.  My only problem is, no instance of the type created is displayed in the inventory - and there are 100% at least of 4 objects returned by our REST API.  When I manually run the COE-> plug-in-> plugin generator dynamic Types - methods - > FindAll I see in the newspapers that it deploys the correct objects with the correct id/name - why these objects are not displayed workflow inventory?

    So this package that I thought I would use the provided standard workflow with dynamic Types plugin, so I added names/type space and automatically generated stubs of workflow for the type.  Then I went into each of these heels of workflow and filled in the script of "To-do" with the code to set the appropriate output, for example the workflow xxx.xxx find all uses the host REMAINS appropriate for an array of objects API JSON, and then iterates through these objects and calls the method DynamicTypesManager.makeObject () , before finally pushing them into the output array.  However, this does not show all inventory items is.

    In both cases I rebooted namespace of the inventory several times and nothing.  It seems that the DynamicTypesManager.makeObject () merely create the object in the local scope that I can see to create types of objects/correct data using System.debug, yet they do not arise outside the workflow and in token of workflow attributes, they remain unset.

    There is something really obvious that I'm missing? / someone at - it suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

  • How to export data from $esxcli.nmp.satp.list () to a CSV file

    Hello world

    I am new to scripting. I created a script that will display the data for each host in a cluster to the powercli screen.

    SE connect-VIServer (name of the vCenter server)

    Foreach ($vmhost Get-cluster "Cluster Name" |) Get-VMHost | Name Sort-Object)

    {

    $esxcli = get-EsxCli - VMHost $vmhost

    Write-host - foregroundcolor green "Server:"$vmhost. "

    $esxcli.storage.nmp.satp.list)

    }

    Disconnect VIServer (name of the vCenter server) - confirm: $false

    I need help to get the data, the script displays an on-screen in a CSV file. Help will be very appreciated.

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware VMTN communities.

    You were pretty close with your script. There are two things I want to say about it:

    First of all, in PowerShell you do not use parentheses around parameter in the cmdlet or function call as in other programming or scripting languages.

    Second, to use the Get-EsxCli cmdlet you must be connected directly to the host. That's why I introduced a Connect-VIserver inside the loop.

    Here's my solution that writes the output to a file called storage.csv.

    Connect-VIServer "vCenter server name"
    
    Get-Cluster "Cluster Name" |
    Get-VMHost |
    Sort-Object -Property Name |
    ForEach-Object {
      $vmhost = $_
      Write-Host -foregroundcolor green "Server: $($vmhost.Name)"
      Connect-VIServer $vmhost.Name  | Out-Null
      $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $vmhost
      $esxcli.storage.nmp.satp.list()
      Disconnect-VIServer $vmhost.Name -Confirm:$false | Out-Null
    } |
    Export-Csv -Path storage.csv -UseCulture -NoTypeInformation 
    
    Disconnect-VIServer "vCenter server name" -Confirm:$false
    

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

  • Remove the last comma before reading csv files

    Hello

    I'm working on a VI that reads a lot of files csv (created by an application) using the built-in "worksheet File.vi reading" before combining in a report by using the excel report generation tool. 'All lines' are read in the csv file by using the worksheet File.vi reading.

    There are cases of csv files, where there an unwanted comma to the end of the line and an extra cell (with no data) appears in the final report. I was wondering if there is an easy way to remove it (rather than passing through each line and get rid of it).

    Thank you!

    You will need to go through each line, look at the last element and delete it if it is an empty string.  But a loop, it's easy:

    Read the spreadsheet, get 2D array of strings.  For each line, download the last element.  Test if she is a Virgin.  If so, remove it from the table.  If this is not the case, switch the blank table.

    EX: string var = "123\n234\n123\n3456\nsdfsd\n" this is \n in the new line.

    for that I have to get the total rows 5.

    Please advice.

    Thank you.

    I think I have to try a split of the string and see how big the table is either simply to count the number of newline characters. Since you said you have a huge file and your data are contained in 1 chain, then you should be able to do it more conveniently.

  • Registered vCenter ticked '(useless) < name vcenter >' in the inventory

    Hello all,.

    I registered a vCenter Server in 5.5 vCO 1281930 and it appears in the inventory with "fqdn_of_vcenter" (useless) Since I registered this as a vCAC end point of advanced services, I shouldn't make vCAC changes, but I can't change or remove endpoint as vCO throws the following error:

    Error

    Cannot create a vCO to type VC endpoint. Reason: Lack of consistency between hosts registered and loaded

    You have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Hey lenny5348,

    I was able to solve this problem, but probably not in the same way that you may owe. He had problems with the connection vCenter which was due to some arcane in our environment firewall rules - vCO answers this by renaming the object in the inventory. Of course, this causes the reference to this object (which is done by name) to become invalidated in vCAC (it now points to something that does not exist!).

    We were able to remove the reference by changing the name of the Endpoint vCenter on our vPostgres database to match what it shows in vCO. Unfortunately I don't have the SQL code I ran for this problem - but this can steer you in the right direction.

    VMware - if the vCO plugin renames the object when it is inaccessible, it means that vCAC never remove properly inaccessible vCO endpoints through ASD. Maybe the links should be made by a kind of UUID, rather than by name?

  • Adding objects to the stage & amp; Properties of the acceessing Stadium - I'm a bit confused...

    Hello

    I'm a bit confused about the programming of the display's two-pronged:

    A. What are the best way to add objects to the stage?
    B. how to access the properties of the step.

    I can make these two when the project is a 'Action Script Project', but I have a problem when it is a "Flex project" (for example a MXML file). See the attached files two questions included in the commentary to see exactly what I mean.


    A. What are the best way to add objects to the stage?
    =====================================

    In a project of action script which extends Sprite I can call him addChild()

    In a project MXML I add objects to the scene first, adding them to a UIComponent, then adding that the step.

    1 - is the best way to do it?

    In this doc: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=05_Display_Programming_02.html he says this quote from
    :
    Each SWF file has an ActionScript class associated with it, called the main class of the SWF file. When Flash Player opens a SWF file in an HTML page, Flash Player calls the constructor function for that class and the instance that is created (which is always a type of display object) is added as a child of the Stage object. The main class of a SWF file always extends the Sprite class
