• Virtual machines by IP range, containing vCPU vRAM, VMDK Info

  I need to create a script PowerCLI, to search for all the virtual machines in a range of specific IP (for example 172.26.x.x) in vCenter, containing the following:

  • data of vCPU
  • data to vRAM
  • Data VMDK

  This information will be used to determine adequate capacity as VMs reside on legacy hosts and so need to be migrated to a new cluster.

  Any help would be much appreciated?

  You should be more specific about what exactly you want with vRAM/vCPU/VMDK 'data '.

  Assuming that you want the basic parameters of the inventory, use something like this:

  Get-VM | Where {$_.Guest.IPAddress -like '172.26.*'} | Select Name, NumCpu, MemoryGB, UsedSpaceGB | Format-Table -AutoSize
  

• find virtual machines connected to several groups of ports

  I am able to find a list of the virtual machines connected to a specific port quite easily.

  Get - VM | where {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ |)} (Select-expandProperty NetworkName) -eq "Network A"}

  I'd like to find computers virtual that are connected to multiple networks, except that I don't want not selected.

  I want a list of virtual computers that connect to the network but not connected to "Network A" and "Network B".

  The inverse of the one-liner above returns the same VM

  Get - VM | where {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ |)} (Select-expandProperty NetworkName) -don't "Network B"}

  
  

  Thank you
  

  Something like that maybe

  Get - VM | where {$nets = @(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ | % {$_.NetworkName}); $nets. {Count - eq 1 - and $nets - contains "Network A"}

• 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 immediate question is the specs for the game ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " Originally from the "Performance Difference between GET - VM and GET-VIEW")

• 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

  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'}

  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.

  How does he for you?

• 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 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.

  Thank you in advance!

  This gives you a report on virtual machines with thin discs and the capacity of your hard disk.

  Validated clerk/no values are available only through VM by the data store, I'm afraid, not by the hard drive.

• Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) include SP1 is the Virtual Machine for Java (MSJVM) installed on this and future Service Packs Microsoft remove it?

  While the installation of Microsoft DirectX 9.0 c on my Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) operating system (not sure if the 2002 version in it's original state included SP1), EULA (EULA) provided the contract included a paragraph stating that "ONLY in regards to THE VIRTUAL MACHINE MICROSOFT FOR JAVA, YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED to INSTALL THIS OS COMPONENT ON A MACHINE THAT CONTAINS A ALREADY the VERSION OF THE MICROSOFT JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE". Assuming that the MSJVM was included with Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002), I advanced and accepted the EULA. I then downloaded and installed Windows XP SP2 and SP3, but wasn't sure whether SP2 and SP3 removed the MSJVM in any point. However, research on the question, I discovered the site "FAQ of Transition MSJVM" (updated May 7, 2004), who answered the question: ' if I install Windows XP SP1a or later, it will remove my current MSJVM? " with "No, the operating system upgrade will not remove a MSJVM existing on the computer" (http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/interoperability/java/faq.aspx). However, I can't find any instance of it on my computer.

  So my questions are:

  1. Windows XP Home (Version 2002) Edition include SP1?
  2. The MSJVM is installed on this version?
  3. SP2 or SP3 removes the MSJVM in any point to?

  Hi Chris,

• Add virtual machines to a data store while changing the name?

  I am trying to create a virtual machine in standby (or more, I do not have a final number) in a second datacenter.  The goal is to have a copy of a group of virtual machines updated once a week as a relief.

  I'll use our SAN replication to keep them up-to-date, so once a week, I stop all virtual machines in the data store, remove them from the inventory and remove the data store.  Then on the side of SAN, I'll create a new copy of the data store, then add this data store to vSphere.  We will do a few rounds of network to ensure we have not any change in the network that should be taken in the virtual machine.

  The only changes to the virtual machine that needs to be done, are changing the vSwitch is logged in, that I understood, and to rename the virtual machine, either before being added, or when it is added.  Since it is a copy of a virtual machine running, I'm not able to add all virtual machines to the new data store.  I need either change the name of the virtual machine before being added, or when it is added.  All I have to do to change the name is add something like - backup at the end of the name of the virtual machine.

  Is it reasonably simple way to do this?  It seems that he was promised that we could do that and now I need to find a way to make it work.

  Thank you

  You can search the data for the VMX store you want to register a script like the one you'll find in VMX Raiders revisited.

  To change the name of the virtual machine, you will need to replace the line that contains the New - VM cmdlet with something like this

  $newName = $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath.split('/')[1].Split('.')[0]New-VM -VMFilePath $path -Name ($newName + "-backup") -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder -RunAsync
  

• Network down frequently on a virtual machine after the upgrade of computers host and vmware to win 10

  Dear all,

  A week ago, I upgraded both my two machines VMWare Win 7 to win 10, as well as the host operating system. also from 7 to 10.

  Now once every 1 or 2 days, one or both the two vmwares aura an esclamation mark on the network status icon in the lower right corner and West no connection.

  The host operating system is NOT having any problems with the network.

  The solution is to disable and reactive the adapter to virtual machines, or repair of running Network Diagnostics where she'll tell me that it s has reinstated the connection to the bridge. But obviously I´d prefer the VM´s to be on the internet 24/7 without my intervention.

  I have another computer on the same router on which I did the same thing, but with this I m not having these problems. A different and not connected equipment via the VPN running on the host OS, which is the case with the machine that s had questions.

  But even once, the host operating system is not having issues, the two VM´s aren´t always the two to have this problem, and this never happened when he was all Win 7.

  I ve disabled some nights windows defender analysis and TCP/IP V6, but neither helped.

  Want to see some of the information from the last network diagnostics / repair or some log file, or you already know what would be the solution to my problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards

  Jazzl

  Well, I thought that a vm was having this problem a lot more often than the other, so I looked for error messages in windows journal, showing that the network problem - have to with DHCP btw - always spent 2 minutes after an event regarding slui.exe, not found on the other machine.

  What I also noticed was that the problematic vm had lost its activation of windows with the upgrade to win 10 (win 10 has limits to how much the same license can be run as virtual machines), is is not the case for the more successful one.

  Then I copied the good machine, which contains the same as the other, changed mac and uuid and now it s showing that enabled, no problem so far.

• rename several virtual machines based on the State of food &amp; VM name

  I'm looking for a powershell script to rename the virtual machine based on the state name and vm power.  For example, I have several virtual machines with a - temp at the end of the name of the server.  Some are turned on and some are turned off.  I am wanting to rename only those who is off

  Thank you

• Is it possible - installation of a virtual machine with Server 2008 on a disc and use the other drive for storage

  I can install a Win Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 on a VD without problem, but I do not see the other disk of TB in option within Windows Server to be used as storage SQL only.

  How can I get the two disks to appear in Windows server?

  what I want is:

  First Dell 1 TB drive VD = Server 2008R2 and SQL on C:\

  Second VD Dell 1 TB drive = D:\ like disk storage

  do I have to configure the Dell VD another way or is it possible

  
  

  Thank you

  
  

  
  

  You basically configure the virtual machine that you want on all the available storage (do not forget to keep free space, for example snapshots). -As I understand it - is so that ESXi does not see the storage! This is often caused by the RAID controllers not taken in charge or the RAID issues. Please check if the RAID controller is supported as well as the configuration. BTW. Why do you want to configure RAID0? If you want to create two virtual disks on warehouses of separate data anyway, simply present to ESXI as two separate disks/volumes.

• Cannot add to the inventory if virtual machine running on the other guests - iSCSI and VMFS5

  5.5 ESXi hosts free standalone version

  iSCSI mounts with multiple paths - relatively new unit with more modern hardware

  CHAP not used

  I'm running a few hosts in order to climb the same iSCSI data stores. The iSCSI LUN is visible and editable by all hosts. If Host1 is to map the iSCSI LUN (VMFS5) and a VM is powered, Host2 can add that VM to the inventory. It's possible with NFS iSCSI for a reason any. This is for a specific reason? Only when I turned off the virtual computer can I add it to both hosts. Other that just lock files are placed in the directory, I missed something related to the lock?

  From now on, adding new esxi hosts does not allow me to add existing virtual machine, less than the voltage first. Once again, NFS does, iSCSI, this isn't. Any ideas?

  It is not specific to ISCSI but rather to the use of VMFS. NFS has no awareness VM VMFS is and why it is not possible to do that with iSCSI / VMFS. There is a lock on the disk for each virtual machine of (race), and that's why the second host is not able to add this host to its inventory. With vSphere HA, this lock is released when a failover should occur.
