find children of a given data center

Hi all

Another Newbie question...

I would like to collect total mV, the total of the hosts, and total of clusters in a data

When connecting to a vcenter Server data center. I know I can get registration.

total count of vms using:

$vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'VirtualMachine');

And even the total Datacenters, Hosts, etc... using the same idea.

This tells me how (or other view_type) large vms system but not any information on

What data center the vm resides in the breast. Feedback from here can be cumbersome?

I think the way to do it is via the hostFolder and or the vmFolder MOR

that are present in the "data center"-> vmFolder or "data center"-> hostFolder

level.

It would be the best place to start with this? Or would have to go elsewhere in

the hierarchy is best? ClusterComputeResource? ResourcePool?

-kevin

Define a named argument called "begin_entity" in your find_entity_views call.

$vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views( view_type => 'VirtualMachine', begin_entity => $datacenter_moref);

Of course, you will need to use find_entity_view to get a moref for the datacenter (or another object in the inventory) to use for your starting point in your find_entity_views.

  • Find an attribute value Boolean inferred at a given date in the past

    Hello

    Need advice on below:

    Looking to find a value of the Boolean attribute to a given date in the past.

    Ex: [b1] condition A is true if

    age < 18 of the person and (the age is calculated using the date of the assessment [this is a basic attribute spent] year subtracted by year Date of birth of the person)

    the person has met the State B (may be that there is a finding of another rule that serves here as a condition which, in turn, uses the date of assessment)

    Looking to find if the [b1] was true at another date in the past. (for example a 6-7 month date before the date of delegated review)

    The function according to temporal but he explores always give the date [b1] value assessment and not the past date we want to find the value of.

    Thank you.

    In the example, the conclusion rule (condition A is true) will have a constant value (true or false) if there is no temporal logic feeding, i.e. no attributes with temporal values and no temporal function. However, if 'the person we met condition B' has changepoints, then it will be the conclusion.

    For example, if the value of ' the person met the condition B is initially 'false' and become 'true' to a point of change on 01/01/2014, then "condition A is true" will be set to 'false' at the start and 'true' 01/01/2014.

    Temporal data in the Debugger entry: http://docs.oracle.com/html/E48373_01/toc.htm#Debugging/Debug_temporal_rules_and_data.htm#Enter

    Temporal reasoning can be very powerful when used correctly, but most of the time it is exaggerated and made just the things more complicated than they should be. Most date calculations can be addressed with functions and logic of regular date.

    Hello

    I have the c# code for obtaining the name of ref. vm datacenter Here, I have explained how I got data center using vm ref in c#. I think it may useful allows you to get an equivalent in java.

    steps to follow:

    (1) download ref vm using the findbyip method by sending name datacenter as null.

    ManagedObjectReference VMObject is _service. FindByIp (_sic.searchIndex, null, clientIp, true);

    (2) get the vmparent as moref using getdynamicprop

    ManagedObjectReference vmParent is GetDynamicProp (ManagedObjectReference) (VMObject, 'parent');.

    (3) get the name of Datacenter as moref using getdynamicprop

    Data Center ManagedObjectReference = (ManagedObjectReference) GetDynamicProp (vmParent, 'parent');

    Let me know if you need an explanation of function getdynamicprop. I think it will be vijava CBC.

  • How can I find out who created a new data center or virtual?

    Is there a specific log file?  I'm trying to find out who created a new data center and some VM.

    The events are not stored in a file, but are stored in the database of vCenter in the VPX_EVENT table. The creation of a data center is a vim.event.DatacenterCreatedEvent in the EVENT_TYPE column. The user who has created are in the USERNAME column. The name of the data center is in the DATACENTER_NAME column. Time of creation is in the CREATE_TIME column.

    I tried to create and delete a data center and after removing it, I could always find events in the database.

  • VcFolder works data center

    The code below will enable me to walk down a path down a set of records data center-> Level1 file---> folder Level2.

    I need to walk on the side... I want to watch the next folder to Level1 in the same data center.  The vmFolder given in the data center is on an array type, and there is no chain of type 'link-list' to follow.

    var datacenter_vcFolder = datacenter.vmFolder;

    System.log("vmFolder:"+datacenter_vcFolder);

    for (var i in datacenter_vcFolder) {}

    System.log("name["+i+"]:"+datacenter_vcFolder[i].) (Name)

    var I_childType = .childType [i] datacenter_vcFolder;

    var I_childEntity = .childEntity [i] datacenter_vcFolder;

    for {(var j in I_childType)

    System.log("childType["+j+"]:"+I_childType[j]);

    System.log("childEntity["+j+"]:"+I_childEntity[j]);

    }

    }

    For me, this code does not immediately with a valid iterator for you first for loop... According to the API Explorer, the datacenter.vmFolder property returns an object unique 'VcFolder', not a picture of anything.

    Once you have the object VcFolder, childType properties in and childEntity are each returned tabular - this is where you make your loop.

    For example:

    var dcFolder = datacenter.vmFolder; // Returns a vcFolder object
    
    System.log("dcFolder:"+dcFolder);
    var children = dcFolder.childEntity;
    for each (child in children){
        System.log("Child: "+child.name+" :: "+System.getObjectType(child));
    }

  • [OEM CC 12r4] Multi data center facility

    Hi all

    I am designing a new Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (r4) environment. We want (in the Center) manage about 40 groups CARS with global data protection. Approximately 30 clusters are located in Europe (spread over 2 data centers), 15 United States and 5 in Asia. Currently, we only use OEM for the administration database and monitoring (patch management, backup, etc.). We will not use the LCM pack deployment and automation still. I have a few questions:

    1. Is it possible to manage all clusters in all parts of a central OEM environment? Or with a single panel of glass with decentralized OEM case?
    2. Is it possible to configure the agent on a cluster of CARS to have a primary and a secondary OEM?
    3. Is there information available of the amount of traffic that will be generated for alerts and performance indicators? Why I ask this question is because two data centers are within a radius of 10 miles and we want to know what the charge will be between our data centers.

    Kind regards

    Bart

    Hi Bart,.

    I had quite similar requirements for a comprehensive implementation of Enterprise Manager. It is not a problem to manage targets in different parts of a central Enterprise Manager. Using servers in decentralized with a repository management central is not a good idea, because latency between the database server and the application should not be more than 1 m, application servers and the database must be in the same data center.

    You cannot configure Oracle Agents to work with two different OEM. Theoretically, you could have two agents Installations on a single server, using two directories of different base Agent and two different ports that are configured for two different SGD servers. But this cause configuration would increase consumption of resources for the follow-up on the server and could have strange side effects. For example, some of the events for the databases are collected directly from database (metric push) views and the Agent Oracle insert the thresholds required for monitoring directly in the database. If the two OEMS have different threshold settings, an OEM could view events without thresholds or unable to get events, even if the thresholds are set for the metric. It is that Agent did the last update for the thresholds in the database.

    There is no generic answer for traffic between the Agent and the management server. The amount of data depends on your settings. You can turn off the metric collections or increase the interval between two collections to reduce traffic.

    I hope my answer will help a little to find the right design for you Enterprise Manager environment.

    Kind regards

  • 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?

  • Gets an array of all the VcFolder objects in a data center?

    I have what I thought was a simple problem, but I can't understand how to accomplish it. I need to get a picture of each VcFolder object within a data center. What is the best way to achieve this? (This is in a multi-datacenter vcenter, which might be relevant).

    How can with bonus unrelated question, I get the user name of the current user who runs a workflow?

    Thank you!

    For the user name, check these script methods

    Server.getCurrentLdapUser()
    Server.getRunningUser()
    

    For a table of all VcFolder objects, something like the following should work

    var folders = [];
    
    function enumerate(folder) {
      if (folder == null) return;
    folders.push(folder);
      var children = folder.childEntity;
      for each (var child in children) {
        if (child instanceof VcFolder) {
           enumerate(child);
        }
      }
    }
    
    // assuming 'dc' is the datacenter object
    enumerate(dc.hostFolder);
    enumerate(dc.vmFolder);
    enumerate(dc.datastoreFolder);
    enumerate(dc.networkFolder);
    
    for each (var f in folders) {
      System.log("folder -> " + f);
    }
    
  • Data store 'datastore1' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (.), but is back different physical storage

    Hello

    I am new to vCenter Server, so you can assume that I'm missing something obvious.

    I installed vCenter Server 5.5 and one of the two hosts of re-usable ESXi 5.0.0 connected correctly. When I try to connect to the second 5.0.0 ESXi host, I get the error message:

    Data store 'datastore1' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (.), but is supported by different physical storage

    I Googled it and found what I think are the best answers that are successful, but they all seem pretty unique in their situation (they have a cluster, I do not have) etc. Some solutions involve disconnecting the store of data and reconstruction of things. I would not make things worse and can live without doubt with the help of vSphere client (and not the web client) until maybe I can start again with a 5.5 installation to a new host once I have back up everything from the host unconnectable. I closed all the VM on the host of the second. I have put in maintenance mode. I've renamed the data store, all to nothing does not.

    Thanks in advance

    The problem is that a whole army could not be connected to vCenter due to the problem, the solution involving disconnection of the host apply.

    Here is how I solved the problem:

    1 use the client vSphere client heavy, connect you to the host that cannot not be connected to vCenter Server.

    2. click on the host computer, and then click the Configuration tab.

    3. click on "storage".

    4. find the offending on the right data store.

    5. right click on the data store incriminated and click 'remove '.

    6. click on 'Add storage' in the top right.

    7. follow the steps to find this data not mounted store. I gave him a new name just to be sure, even if it's probably not necessary.

  • 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

    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

    Dear team,

    In our environment, we have 22 esx host 4 storage san, 4 fabric switches, network switches 4. every weekend, there is problem of complete power failure will be there, so each client weekend for full on stop data center, so we install full stop that I just want to know what will be recommended for this bee and as precaustion to take before making this kind of activity, so need your help on the same

    Will it work this way, if we turned off the entire infrastructure,

    (1) fist take the glance of each virtual machine power on each host
    (2) then take snap of all the SAN data store that r connected on each host are
    (3) make the snap of networking architecture
    (4) stop each virtual machines on an esx host,.
    (5) stop ESX host
    (6) stop SAN storage
    7-stop Fabric Switches
    (8) stop all network switches

    While switch on/off the infrastructure unit will it work that way,

    (1) power on network switches, after 5 minutes
    (2) after 5 minutes on the fabric power switches
    (3) power storage SAN, after 10 minutes
    (4) power on all ESX hosts after 45 minutes
    (5) power on all the virtual machines on all ESX hosts
    (6) cross check all works very well.

    Correct if I'm wrong, please help me on the same.

    Concerning

    Mr. VMware

    every weekend he comes from complete power failure

    The steps you mentioned certainly works, but I don't see a reason for snapshots. Better make sure that you have a good backup in place. I guess you also have an exact plan on the order in which the power and off the virtual machine.

    On the other side, it may be interesting to find out the reason for the failure and eliminate it or think of a suitable UPS system to avoid this procedure.

  • Migrating from a virtual computer between two numbers of data center

    Hello!

    I just finished a muddy migration of a virtual machine from one data center to another.

    VMotion was not possible, so do not manually move the files was the only option.

    After downloading and uploading files to separate data warehouses, I have now a running virtual machine with the file to a folder named "TSV-forum", hard and the .vmx file and the working of a folder named "TSV-forum_2" directory

    The reason is that I downloaded the files to a new folder on the new data store named "TSV-forum", and when I created the new virtual machine and set the option to file on hard drive to use the vmx downloaded from the new 'TSV-forum' folder file, it automatically creates the "TSV-forum_2" folder and put the rest of the files for the new virtual machine in this folder.

    How to solve this problem?

    I should, perhaps, created the virtual machine in a different way, in the first place.
