Find out how many virtual machines you create a month

I've been messing around with this script which was published on the vSphere PowerCLI blog but I can't do what I want it. I try to get the output to an html Web page results. Here is the code of the blog:

Function Get-VMCreationReport {}

Get - VM | {Group

If ($_.) CustomFields-as -not $null) {}

"{0:Y}" -f $_. CustomFields

} else {}

'Unknown'}}

}

I modified it as follows:

#I have location set because I'm only pulling the VM to a specific host in a folder.

$VMs = @(get-VM-emplacement "TEST")

"$html = @".



"@

$html = ""test ' "

$VMs | {Group

if($_.) CustomFields-as -no $null)

{$html = « {0:Y} » -f $_. CustomFields}

else {}

$html = 'Unknown'}

}

$html = "< / HTML >".

$html > Test_run.html

The problem is that the output is not posting on the html page. I can see when debug that code runs through the if loop to the right. Any ideas?

SELECT is in fact an alias for Select-Object.

Allways try (in this case to select)

Get-Alias Select

When you run a cmdlet you do not recognize.

The dismantled line:

-) put all the contents of $result in the pipeline

-) of each object, select the following

(-) the Name property. After a group object, the Name property contains the grouping field, in this case the date

(-) A hash literal to calculate the following property. In this case, the number of elements in the array of the group, which is the number of guests

(-) all resulting objects to the Select-Object are placed in the pipeline and converted by the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet to HTML

-) add the result (the ConvertTo-Html cmdlet output) the existing contents of the variable $html

  • How many virtual machines on a single HBA?

    Hi all

    I understand a VI3 environment for a client, but I doubt if HBA will be a bottle neck for the performance of the virtual machine. I would like to know how much minimum I should recommend? Two enough a primary and another for failover? can you tell us the load balancer for HBA? I read that we can have several number of VMs communicate via a single HBA, however, there will be performance problems? Can anyone share their experiences and their recommendations?

    Thank you

    Rahul

    I've not seen HBA as a bottleneck, especially with the 4 GB HBAs now commonly available.

    I only dual port HBA in our blade servers and servers of U 1, I ran 2 x single port HBA.

    Main SAN issues, I've had have been a doubtful avalanche Transceiver and a motherboard fault on a Server Blade.

    Otehrwise HBAs themselves were enough sound that's why I am not too concerned about the unique dual-port HBA's on the blade.

    A lot of the design is subject to redundancy and how much risk / single points of failure, you are willing to tolerate.

  • How do I know how many virtual machines can be added to a host or a cluster?

    That means's the maximum VMs or this number indicates can accommodate 23 VMs?

    23 IT´s VMs additional based on average use of your existing virtual machines.

  • Create a great metric for virtual machines that shows how many virtual machines on the host parent

    One of the properties of a virtual computer's Parent host.  I would like to pass this info on to a metric Super VM and use to gather the number of VMS are on the associated VM host Parent.   This SM would be so associated with my VMs.

    Is this possible?

    -MattG

    I found this:

    AVG (${adaptertype = VMWARE, objecttype = HostSystem, attribute is summary | total_number_vms, depth =-1})

    Because I had to use a host object type I don't think he would show as a metric of Super in the scope of the VM... it does!

  • How many virtual machines can be run using the bridge at the same time?

    I'm on Win 7 and XP both in Bridge mode. every time the two machines lights I lose the entire network including the host NIC connection. Once I have change the VM to NAT connection I can resume normal activity. Mode bridge on 2 or more VMs is not a supported configuration? Can someone please clarify? I'd appreciate the help.

    Thank you

    The default value for switch ports is often the "Desktop" mode, which limits access to the only 2 (port security) MAC addresses. If you need more the port need to be configured as a port of "access".

    $tgtEvents = "VmCreatedEvent","VmDeployedEvent","VmClonedEvent","VmDiscoveredEvent","VmRegisteredEvent"
    Get-VIEvent -Start $start -MaxSamples 99999 | ` where {$tgtEvents -contains $_.GetType().Name} | ` Measure-Object | Select Count
