Hello Guyz... help pls. How can I find out what type of SCSI controller of all virtual machines in a data center particular
Try this!

Create the virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI LSI logic SAS with PowerCLi
Hey guys,.
IM the difficulty to create a virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI to "LSI Logic SAS". The cmdlet New - VM im struggling to find where to create the type of controller?
If you create a virtual machine without specifying a disk it will create a 4 GB SCSI type thick (0:0) hard drive 1 with 0 Parrall default BusLogic SCSI controller.
What im wanting to do is to create a disk hard which is thin Prov. and create SCSI LSI logic SAS controller is set to.
New-VM -name VMSTORE23 -$vmhost $esxhost MemoryMB- 4096 NumCpu- 2 -NetworkName "Vlan 6 Machine Virtual Network" | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -Type Vmxnet3 -MacAddress '00:50:56:00:00:21' -confirm:$false
I have recived of aid by some LucD who helped direct the value of the network card in the New - VM cmdlet as follows. But I'm not able to add a hose for hard disk also like:
| Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - Datastore $datastore - slim StorageFormat
And I have no idea how change the type of SCSI conroller or create it with the correct configuration?
Any help would be great,
Thanks in advance
Eddie
Greetings, steddyeddie-
You should be able to use Set - hard drive and SCSI controller Set cmdlets to set the storage format of your hard drive and the SCSI controller type, respectively. You were close to on the part of game - hard drive . Try something like:
## get the VM object $vmVMSTORE23 = Get-VM VMSTORE23 ## set the harddisk storageformat to thin$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-HardDisk | Set-HardDisk -StorageFormat Thin ## set the SCSI controller type$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-ScsiController | Set-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
It could pack in to your existing order to keep it as a good word, but for readability.

Where to find the type of table table View ALL/DBA or SYS
Oracle 10g.
I searched the Oracle manuals and the web with nothing will do.
I need to know in which ALL/DBA table view or SYS I find the type (Organization) of a table.
ITO and 'normal' tables is easy, but I need exactly to know which tables are 'EXTERNAL '!
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
ALL_ALL_TABLES has a column "table_type", but it appears in the form of external tables of ifor NULL.
Also, I would try to avoid questioning the "SYS" tables directly.You can try user_external_tables or dba_external_tables.

What is the type of object to use for virtual machine model in the Points of Extension?
Hello
I added my plugin point of extension vsphere.core. ${objectType} .monitorViews. My plugin is for all types of objects (vm, file, vApp, resourcePool, etc) except the model of the virtual machine. My understanding is that the vm object type would be required for the virtual machine template, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something here? Should the plugin appear for the model of the virtual machine when I use the vsphere.core.vm.monitorViews extension point?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Ashutosh
Sorry, I got confused by your original question. ExtensionPoint id you are looking for is the one for adding views a model virtual machine monitor tab:
model.monitorViews vSphere.Core.

Determine the version of VMware tools on all virtual machines
I found a powershell script that shows how to enumerate the vmtools on a virtual machine version, it is possible to use a script to display the version on all virtual machines without hard coding names? Thanks in advance for your help.
You can try something like this
get-vm | % { get-view $_.ID } | select Name, @{ Name="ToolsVersion"; Expression={$_.config.tools.toolsVersion}}

How to find the Type of Page?
Hello
In an application that is already developed, there are about 90 pages.
If I open a page, where I can find the type on this page? (Ex: report, tree, form, Login Page, etc.).
If it's a form, how can I find if it is a shape on a form on a Table or a view, table, procedure, etc.?
Thanks in advance.

SharathHi Benjamin,
Go to the request of manufacturer-> select your application
then you saw all the pages of your application icon, now you want to find which page is what type,
at the top you have a search bar with go button,
then, after that, you have three icons
1 display) icon
2 status display)

Hi gurrus and LucD
I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.
The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.
Concerning
Nauman
Try like this
$report = @)
{foreach ($cluster Get-cluster)
foreach ($rp in Get-ResourcePool-location $cluster) {}
foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location the $rp |)) Where {Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $_______ | where {$_.}} Type - eq "e1000"}})) {}
$report += $vm. Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. Name}},
@{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. Uid.Split('@') [1]. "Split(':') [0]}},"

Is no vmdk file, but the script says, all virtual machines backed up Ok!
Hello everyone;
Please excuse any lack of details because this is the first time that I write. I've scoured internet for days now trying to find no matter how much detail that could help me solve the problem. I'm new in the world of script ESXi and ghettoVCB.
My intention is to run several tasks on a schedule. Each type of backup (quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily and multiple) runs at a specific time. The planning section works very well.
I'm hoping to solve this urgent backup, I should be able to solve reboot.
Here is the command I use:
/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB.sh w /tmp/ghettoVCB-work.multiple f/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmlist-Multiple g/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmconfig-DataSet1-multiple-l /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB_logs/ghettoVCB.Multiple_Backup.logvmconfig-DataSet1-multiple contains:
# Multiple backups - rotation County 6
#
VM_BACKUP_VOLUME = / vmfs/volumes/Vault2-DataSet1/URANUS/Multiple
DISK_BACKUP_FORMAT = thin
VM_BACKUP_ROTATION_COUNT = 6
POWER_VM_DOWN_BEFORE_BACKUP = 0
ENABLE_HARD_POWER_OFF = 0
ITER_TO_WAIT_SHUTDOWN = 4
POWER_DOWN_TIMEOUT = 5
SNAPSHOT_TIMEOUT = 15
ENABLE_COMPRESSION = 0
VM_SNAPSHOT_MEMORY = 0
VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE = 0
VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP =
Vmlist-multiple contains 1 server is listed:
# List all virtual machines that are backed up several times a day
HEAT
The log indicates that the backup was successful - but it has not been the case. Backup size should be approximately 8 GB. However, when you look at the output folder, only the following files are here:
HEAT.vmx
STATUS.ok
Question is now - where are the vmdk files that should be present?
Output (-d debug) can be found here: http://pastebin.com/hMGphTL3
So, here is what I observed:
When you run the script, the snapshot only takes a few seconds to create and delete then. I'm seeing happens on the list of the tasks of vSphere Rencent (screenshot attached).
If I create a snapshot manually - it will take much more time to create and delete a snapshot. The difference here is 6 minutes, and 4 seconds using the script create a snapshot manually.
So my presumption is that he is not actually create the snapshot, although vSphere said it is being created. So why is it the case?
Help, please.
ADDENDUM:
If I run the following:
./ghettoVCB.sh m HEAT
The backup is successful.
Your said he clearly did not config file to back up all files hard.
VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP =
I expect to see something like this if you want all the hard files
VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP = "all".

Get-file provides an account of all virtual machines in the folder structure.
Hi all
Tried a few searches in the community, but impossible to find exactly what I was looking for. We have a configuration folder structure in vCenter. We have some companies that we bought over time and we set up a folder, separate them with a top-level folder and folders nested for different types of virtual machine below, something like:
CompanyX
-Mail servers
-Web servers
-DB servers
For the purposes of internal billing, asked me to get a count of all virtual machines for each company. I can get the count for virtual machines directly in the "CompanyX" folder, but it does not include virtual machines in subfolders. This is the script I used so far:
Write-Output "VM enumeration for CompanyX VMware environment Total: $((Get-dossier 'CompanyX' |)). "(Get-VM) .count) | out-file "D:\ScriptResults\CompanyX.txt" - append
As I said, that works very well for the virtual machines in the head in the parent folder, but it does not go down to the next layer. Is there a way to get folder do that?
I am a novice PowerShell/PowerCLI, so forgive me if I'm missing something obvious.
Thank you
Bob
Hi Bob,
I don't know if it was different in previous versions, but in the latest PowerCLI version 4.1 U1 if you
Get-file "CompanyX" | Get - VM
It will retrieve the VM in the top folder and all subfolders. You can easily check this with:
Get-file "CompanyX" | Get - VM | Select-Object - Property Name, folder
If you only want the virtual machine in the top folder you can use:
Get-file "CompanyX" - NoRecursion. Get - VM
The following script will get the VM number for all companies and write the result to a .csv file.
$ExcludeFolders = "Discovered virtual machine","other folder to exclude" Get-Folder vm | Get-Folder -NoRecursion | ` Where-Object {$ExcludeFolders -notcontains $_.Name } | ` ForEach-Object { $Folder = $_ $Report = "" | Select-Object -Property Company,"Number of VM's" $Report.Company = $Folder.Name $Report."Number of VM's" = ($Folder | Get-VM | Measure-Object).Count $Report } | Export-Csv -Path CompanyVMsCount.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
If there is high records of the page you want to exclude from the list you can add them to the $ExcludeFolders variable in the first line of the script. The second line of the script gets all the 'vm' top of the folders page. The third line filter unwanted records. A few lines create the output objects. And the last line written objects in a .csv file.
I added the Measure-Object cmdlet for the ($Folder |) Get - VM | Measure - Object). Account because otherwise you will get an error if the number is 0 or 1.
Best regards, Robert

The list of all virtual machines in a Datacenter
Hello
I have several data centers in the vCetner and I want to list virtual machines in a perticular Datacenter. Here is the script I wrote. Apologies, I am an amateur and my script is a mess;
#! / usr/bin/perl - w
use strict;
Use Data::Dumper;
use VMware::VIRuntime;
My % opts =)
Data Center = > {}
Type = > "s =",
help = > 'enter the name of the data center. "
required = > 1,
}
);
OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);
OPTS::parse();
OPTS::Validate();
Util::Connect();
my $dc = Opts::get_option ('Center');
My $dc_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'Data center',)
filter = > {name = > $dc});
foreach (@$dc_views)
{
My $funky = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_-> vmFolder);
My $funky2 = $funky-> childEntity;
My $funky3 = Vim::get_views (mo_ref_array = > $funky2);
foreach (@$funky3) {print $_-> name.} "\n"; }
}When I run above to put it just said 'Discovered virtual machine:
#perl test.pl - Server < what > - username < whatever - > password < what > - datacenter DC01_ESXi5
Virtual machine discoveryIt would be great if someone could explain to me where I'm wrong. I don't want a script that I would like to get the desired result, indeed, I want to know where I am going wrong in above script. I find it extremely difficult to understand the structure of data API vSphere. Programming Perl is not the issue here.Thnaks.There is a somewhat easier way that browsing the inventory tree.
If you just want to entities in a data center, you can use begin_entity in your find_entity_view* calls.

All virtual machines on my ESX host off power at the same time
Hi all
Recently I attend the interview. a guy asked me this question
< police = "Times New Roman, serif" >all virtual machines on my power off ESX at the same time host < / police >< / police >?
What was the cause of the highest of the error, how to troubleshoot the error.please me.anybody guide to address this problem?
Thanks
Surya
If all the virtual machines if lower at the same time, my bet would be VMware HA. Just for fun, build it inside your head:
(1) 8 ESX nodes, all service consoles connected to a unique management switch.
(2) now to create a cluster of these nodes, put all your virtual machines in there and activate HA, choose ' host isolation response: power off.
(3) draw power from your management switch. HA on each host will deduct that the host is isolated-> turn off all the virtual machines.
Each host will think the same thing, and hop find you with all virtual machines down to the time in the whole of the cluster. Have seen this one several times when people go and upgrade their management switches in the evening ("hey, it's only management").

How to change network name for all virtual machines within the same cluster
We have recently changed name vswitch to take into account that something significant, in the past vCenter could change the labels of networh for all virtual machines... seems this time help labels are not changed (maybe its got something to do with the update vcenter for 2.5.U3)...
in any case, someone at - it a powershell script that could find all the virtual machines that are referring to the old label network and then changing again the name... ?
Enjoy the respponses...
Thanks in advance
A few things on this blog could help.
If you know the names you want to use, you could also just use something like:
Get-Cluster X | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "OldNetwork" } | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "NewNetwork" -confirm:$false Get-Cluster X | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "NewNetwork" } | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$true -confirm:$false

vCenter shows all virtual machines and the host is disconnected
Hello
I have a two nodes in the cluster ESXi6 U2 (recently updated to 5.5) running on hp dl380p gen8. For some reason all the virtual machines are running on host A (HA and DRS are enabled). vCenter shows all virtual machines and host A is disconnected. Cannot connect to A host using vSphere client or web client. Cannot vMotion the VMs. Impossible to activate SSH. Connection DCUI works very well. Cannot perform any action VM
All virtual machines are in place are running at this point. I don't want to restart the virtual machines. Can you help me please?
Thank you
AJ
Frozen screen DCUI came back to life. The active SSH access, killed the running process. The host of running backs.
See you soon,.
