• How to find the virtual machine connected to a partical card RAW LUN.

  Hello

  I love RAW map of LUN that I connected to several virtual machines on different hosts.

  Its been a very long time. Now, I don't remember which VM is connected to the LUN of my RAW card.

  I have a lot number of VM on each HOST so that it will take enormous time to search manually.

  Is anyway find VM connected to my RAW LUN map.

• Find virtual machines on specific clusters

  There are a number of clusters were trying to move away from virtual machine.  I'd like to understand what VM (and their associated properties as $_.) Folder) that can be found on these groups.   The following code takes a long time to run (he gets the number of old hosts rather quickly).

  to connect-VIServer $VMServer
  $VM2Move = @)

  #Exclude virtual machines and hosts on the new groups
  $AllOldHosts = get-vmhost-location $Location | where {$_ .parent-NotLike "newcluster01" - or $_ .parent-NotLike 'newcluster02'}
  $OldHostTally = $AllOldHosts.count
  Write-Host "is the number of hosts on old clusters: $OldHostTally.
  #The of the $AllHosts that are desired properties are manufacturer, model, name, State, StorageInfo, Version
  #The properties you want from virtual machines are host, name, PowerState, ProvisionedSpaceGB, record, Version

  {Foreach ($OldHost to $AllOldHosts)
  $VM = get-VMHost $OldHost | get - vm | Select name, folder, host, Powerstate, Version
  $VM2Move += $VM
  }

  $VM2Move | Export Csv OldVM.csv - NoTypeInformation

  When I get to the end of the pipeline 'select name, folder, host, Powerstate, Version', I get the following text:

  I am still awating the output by using the statement select (still takes way too long).

  How it should be written?  Any improvements would be appreciated.  It seems the only link between cluster and VM is through the host.  The virtual computer object has a property of the host and the VM-Host object has a Parent pointing to the cluster property.

  Hello, JohnnyScript-

  Welcome to the communities.

  There are a few things to make it who can help speed up your code.

  • Since you already have objects VMHost Get-VMHost calling on line 4 of your code, you should not use Get-VMHost still once for each unique host (or any host)
  • There are a few variables that you need not, as the $VM2Move to the concatenation of data table and the $VM table of the selected objects
  • While we are cleaning things, we must not use Get-VMHost at all, really - Get-Cluster will suffice

  So, with a bit of a re-write, you could generate data of OldVM.csv with something like:

  ## get all clusters not named the two given names&{Get-Cluster | ?{"newcluster01","newcluster02" -notcontains $_.Name} | %{    ## this cluster object, to be used later    $oThisCluster = $_    ## get the VMs in this cluster, and select a bit of info about each    Get-VM -Location $oThisCluster | Select Name,Folder,Host,PowerState,Version,@{n="ClusterName"; e={$oThisCluster.Name}}}} | Export-Csv c:\temp\OldVM.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  It ends by using Get-cluster and a Get - VM times once a cluster (vs using Get-VMHost once by the host and Get - VM host twice).  You should notice a fair speed increase.  If you really need the speed data, you could do even better with secret of most favorite people, Get-View.  We leave it for another year.

• Find virtual machines without a VC

  Hey all

  Wondering if you could please help?

  I recently lost my VC (which is a virtual machine) and then realized I didn't host it was to get running. Therefore, to ensure that this does not happen again I tried to create a script (a base to it) just to tell me what hosting the "CV" is on a problem occurred again. The problem is the script keeps looping and the slightest mistake when trying to connect to a host. The script is as below and any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I had the same problem as you and I solved it with the help of host DRS Group Manager. So vCenter Server and the database server is still running on a dedicated host.

  I've published a how-to post on my blog http://www.vmworld.net/?p=1240, but it is written in German - voicie so a little explanation:

  .) make a VMS DRS group - member vCenter Server + Server DB

  .) make a host group of the DRS - Member ESXHost where you will the vc to run

  .) make a rule of Virtual Machines to the host where 'VM Group'-> 'should run on hosts in the group'-> host group

  Important: use "should run on the hosts in group" and NOT «must run...» "because he's so HA and DRS know.

  So every time will know where your CV is running...

• Find virtual machines in a range of IP addresses and name, IP and output Cluster

  Hello

  I am trying to create a script for the release of all the virtual machines that fall within a range of IP addresses and exit the VM name, IP address and the Virtual Cluster of machine is hosted in. I've got so far as to the release of the name of VM and IP, but can't seem to get the cluster to work. I can't find an expression for an attribute of Cluster in Get-View. Does anyone know how to complete it? Or maybe another way to go about this?

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"Guest.IpAddress"="10.10.10 *"} | Select Name,@{N="IP; E = {$_.guest.} Ip_address}}

  That foot kicks back an error for each virtual computer running trying to interview (below). I don't know, but you are able to use - property and - Id in the same line - filter?

  Get-view: all parameters can be resolved by using the specified named parameters.

  Online: 15 char: 13

  Change what you have there to remove the - filter and add back to the place where the declaration did the trick. Runs without error, but still takes a minute or two to complete. But that's fine.

  foreach ($cluster in (Get-View - ViewType ClusterComputeResource-property name, host)) {}

  foreach ($esx in (Get-View-Id $cluster. Home - VM property)) {}

  if($ESX.) VM) {}

  Notice-EEG-Id $esx. VM-Name property, Guest.IPAddress | where {$_.guest.} {IpAddress-like ' 10.10.10 * "} |

  Select Name,@{N='Cluster'; E = {$cluster. Name}},@{N='IP'; E = {$_.guest.} Ip_address}}

  }

  }

  }

  If I wanted to filter by name of Vlan or VlanID would I be able to replace the Guest.IpAddress property for a related property of VLAN?

  Thank you very much for the help!

• Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

  I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.

  The biggest problem for me is to understand for Get-View filter. I was capable of a bit of insight to gleen from the URL below, but I think what Miss me is the reference (Microsoft) for what is happening to the right of the equal sign.

• Retrieve a list of virtual machine is in a group of virtual machine DRS

• List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

  In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

  And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

  So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

  However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

  I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

  My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

  In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

  my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

  filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
  {if ($cluster_view)}
  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  begin_entity => $cluster_view.

  Properties-online ['name']);
  foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
  print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;

  }

  Hope that helps!

• Local drive of virtual machine connection - iSCSI Initiator or RDM?

  Hello

  It is early in the morning here, maybe I'm not awake yet, but what is the difference between a connection a cru LUN for a machine virtual Microsoft Windows using a RDM or by installing Microsoft iSCSI Initiator in the virtual machine and connect to the logic unit number in this way? Can you Flash the drive using the road to virtual initiator iSCSI or MDM using only in compatibility mode - that is the only difference, or not at all? How about using MSCS - route decision LUN that will affect?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Hello Steve,.

  snapshots are function of the hypervisor, disks and RDM only virtual to virtual, which are presented to the virtual machine by the hypervisor can be instantaneous. With the help of the initiator iSCSI in the OS itself invited completely bypasses the hypervisor, so you can run snapshots on the side of storage for these LUNs. As far as I know, MSCS comments iSCSI is supported by MS, I don't know if this is also true for a virtual machine with iSCSI comments however.

• Find virtual machines with downtime more then a week

  Hello community,

  I'm looking for a command to find the virtual machines where the week then a longer time to stop-ist.

  I need this information to:

  Get - VM | Select-Object - property 'Name', 'Description', 'NumCPU', 'MemoryMB.

  I hope someone has an answer.

  Best wishes

  Jorn

  I think that the following script should produce those VM names.

  He begins by taking only the currently PoweredOff VMs.

  Then she collects all the virtual machines that have been turned off last week.

  And finally, it combines the 2 lists to find these virtual machines that have been turned off more than a week ago.

  I would like to know if it works for you.

  $vms = (Get-VM | where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOff"}) | %{$_.Name}
  $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) | where{$_.FullFormattedMessage -like "Task: Power off*"}
  $lastweekVM = $events | %{$_.Vm.Name}
  $longer1week = $vms | where {!($lastweekVM -contains $_)}
  $longer1week

• The list of all virtual machines to a host group in Virtual Machine port group

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I would like to create a powershell script to list all my virtual machines to a host, but a group of Machine virtual PortGroup... It is possible...? I see only found Internet see the VirtualPortGroup of the host...

  Thanks in advance & looks

  All your VMS have a mapping single portgroup or it not with multiple NICs on different port groups?

  If they are all the same, then the following should work:

  Get-VM | Select Host, Name, @{N="PortGroup";E={$_.NetworkAdapters[0].NetworkName}} | Sort PortGroup, Name, Host

• Find virtual machines with disks of 'thin '.

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script that locates the virtual machines with disks of 'thin' and retrieves information about the provisioned size and "used" actual size and output to a CSV file.

• Several groups of ports with the same VLanID

  Ask a question on peoples experience or knowledge, because we had a little chat here at work. If you have several groups with the same VLanID virtual port in the same cluster, does or that will cause a problem?

  Tom - we do that regularly.

  We have large quantities of VLAN - and often will be have 2 VMs hosted on the same Vlan environments for the purposes of the Dev - but when we move to production, we want to be able to isolate the dependent VMs to the configured network - with the same Vlan in use. . with a name different from the ways that we can quickly determine which is which.

  In addition

  I have hhave 1 vSwitch, with 2 natachasery (set up for tolerance of failure... not load balancing). . 2 groups of ports. . even vLan. . but I can get then Port Group1 to Teddy defauilt 1 and Port Group2, or Teddy bear 2 - which means I can isolate traffic e.. except in an emergency.
