Find VM folders through / Cluster host or full path of VMfolder

Hello

I have an interesting question here.  Building my new VM deployment workflow, I ran into a snag.  You must declare a VM folder for new virtual machines being created.  I want to get a VMfolder based on ESXi host or cluster or the full path to the VM folder (/ vm/site1/servers/criticism).

I know VMfolders are actually part of the VC/VM and host cluster but no, is there a way to work backward.

The Don'ts:

  • Do not use (too clumsy to maintain) configuration items
  • Do not want to flush all VC records in a table, then need to browse each of them looking for the one that has the specific path
    • Too much time in larger deployments
  • Cannot use a virtual machine and are looking for a folder since the prospect that the folder may be empty of VMs and since this is a virtual computer deployment, you cannot use the existing one, you need to deploy (the egg)

I think I already know what the answer is going to be, but maybe someone has a bright idea on this one.

Thank you

Hello

Try the following:

// Search index object for the first registered vCenter
var index = VcPlugin.allSdkConnections[0].searchIndex;

// Inventory path of the folder to search for (note: starts with datacenter name; replace datacenter123 with your datacenter name)
var invPath = "/datacenter123/vm/site1/servers/critical/";

var folder = index.findByInventoryPath(invPath);
System.log("folder: " + folder);

  • Storage shared between cluster hosts

    Hello

    I have a number of hosts managed under a VC server clusters. I want to downgrade the ESX 3.5 cluster and spend all my virtual machines to my vSphere cluster. I intend to move the storage currently used by ESX 3.5 clusters as well.

    Is this OK (or supported) or even possible for me to do the following?

    1. attach the storage used by the cluster cluster vSphere ESX 3.5 (so it is folded in TWO clusters).

    2. the servers from ESX3.5 to vSphere vMotion cluster cluster.

    3. turn off the cluster of ESX 3.5.

    I guess it boils down to two questions.

    1. can you be shared between host cluster storage two?

    2. If you can, is it possible to vMotion between cluster hosts, assuming that all the vMotion compatibility checks are successful?

    If the above is not possible, I'm guessing that a V2V of VMS ESX 3.5 would be the way to go, and I have to find new storage for the cluster of vSphere.

    Thank you

    Hello

    If you have a SAN vSphere-taking in charge, so there is no problem.

    According to the CRA on your 3.5/vSphere ESX CPU hosts, you might have problems with storage vmotion/vmotion. One way would be to enable CVS, however requiring all virtual machines to be powered off.

    But present the LUN 3.5 4.x guests and make a svmotion is not a problem if you have taken care of storage. (www.vmware.com/go/hcl).

    Then you can just vmotion (if you do not have CPU incompatibility) virtual machines to new hosts, or stop and move.

  • I can't find the "plugin.expose_full_path" preference in the ' subject: config "list and full path is activated!

    I've tried to get rid of some plugins/extensions owrrisome and wanted to show their full path in ' on: plugins ", so went to set the preference of"plugin.expose_full_path"the ' topic: config" list to 'true '. But, I couldn't find there, and the full path seems already displayed in "subject: plugins. What worries me, is that you are supposed to disable the full path when you are finished, because it creates a security risk. So why don't I see the option "plugin.expose_full_path" and why the full path is activated?

    Copied from:
    http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:plugins

    Location of the plugin file:

    • Mozilla 20 and below: To display the full path to the plugin instead of just the file name (for example, in Firefox 20), type Subject: config in the address bar and press the Enter key. Find the plugin.expose_full_path preference and change the value true (by double-clicking on the name of the preference will switch the setting). Warning: Expose the location plugin can have repercussions on safety on some systems. It is best to reset the preference to "false" by default, when you are finished. 1
    • Mozilla 21: There is no way to display the full path of the file in the topic: plugins list. Another way to find the location of the plugin file (for example, in Firefox 21) must inspect the contents of the "pluginreg.dat" file, located in the profile to your Mozilla application folder.
    • Mozilla 22 and above: From version 22 (for example, Firefox 22) an extra row "path:" is included in the on: plugins list, which displays the full path of the file for all plugins. (bug 661961).

  • "Mem.Usage.Average" against the total aggregate of cluster host memory

    Please see the attachment for the whole story.

    Please give me a sanity check on this. I used the "Mem.Usage.Average" as a % against allocated VM MemoryMB. The sum of these calculations escaped by far the actual calculations of the vCenter % memory-based. So, I changed my calculations that you see in the worksheet to use the 'Mem.Usage.Average' against the total aggregate available on all hosts in the cluster. This amount came to less than 1% of my calculations based on vCenter GUI. Am I right against the total aggregate memory cluster host instead of against VM memory assigned using 'Mem.Usage.Average '? Thxs-

    ExcelOutput.jpg

    SDK is not clear on "total configured memory available or". https://www.VMware.com/support/developer/converter-SDK/conv55_apireference/memory_counters.html Part description of memory used as a percentage of the total configured or available memory.


    $start = (get-Date). AddDays(-5)

    Get-cluster-location ActualClusterName | Get - VM | Where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} @{N = "Mem.Usage.Average"; E = {[Math]: round ((($_ |))} Get-Stat - Stat mem.usage.average - start $start - $finish - IntervalMins 1800 - MaxSamples finishing (250) | Measure - Object - average value). Average), 2)}}"


    Cluster is 6 hosts with 128G per host for total of 768G (786432 MB of RAM), there are 118 powered on virtual machines


    vCGUI.jpg

    for me the SDK says that percentage reflects the relationship between the memory 'active' in the virtual machine against the memory configured for the virtual machine.

    A configured with 8 GB of memory virtual computer that has 'use' of 25% is actively using 2 GB of memory.

    I think that your numbers you get for VMS are biased because of the great period of time during which you take the average (see previous answer).

    You can cross-check the mem.usage.average with the mem.active.average.

    In the following code, I calculate the different 2 meters actual memory used by the virtual machine.

    $clusterName = "mycluster.

    $stat = 'mem.usage.average ','mem.active.average '.

    $vm = get - Cluster - name $clusterName | Get - VM | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

    $stats = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat $stat - Realtime - MaxSamples 1

    $stats | Group-object - property {$_.} @entity.name} | %{

    [PSCustomObject] @ {}

    VM = $_. Group [0]. @entity.name

    MemoryMB = $_. Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB

    MemUsagePerc = $_. Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"} | Select - ExpandProperty value

    MemUsageMB = [int]($_.) Group [0]. Entity.MemoryMB * ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.usage.average"}). Value) / 100

    MemActiveMB = ($_.) Group | where {$_.} MetricId - eq "mem.active.average"} | Select - ExpandProperty Value) / 1 KB

    }

    }

    The result shows a specific virtual machine, these two numbers are close enough to be considered the same imho.

    That they should be in fact, the mem.usage.average is derived from the mem.active.average.

    While the major part of the name of the folder is commong (highlighted in blue) and the name of the folder only one (highlighted in red) will vary.

    nameT = Folder("/CREATIVE/CHST/WATCHED_FOLDER/BTS/INDesign_IN/").getFiles("*.indd");

    Thank you very much for the support.


    Hello

    I don't think you can set a reference file with dynamic URLS (regexp). I think that you can work in two steps:

    (1) the static parent file reference

    var fo = folder ("/ users/TTT/Desktop/PRODUCTION/Tag_London/B/BB/BEA/EMEA/CREAT IVE_PACKSHOT /");

    (2) get all the 'files' and filter the folders above files.

    var filterFunction = function(file)
                                  {
    
                                            return (file instanceof Folder) && /[0-9]+"_"/.test ( file.name ) && Folder ( file+"/DOCUMENT/").exists;
                                  }
    
    var fos = fo.getFiles( filterFunction );
    

    (3) once you have all your files, fill an internal table with all indd files

    var indds = [];
    var n = fos.length;
    var inddFilterFunction = function(file){
         return (file instanceof File) && /\.indd$/.test ( file.name);
    }
    while(n--) {
     indds.concat ( Folder(fos[n]+"/DOCUMENT/").getFiles(inddFilterFunction) );
    }
    

    (4) do what you have to do with your table of files

    A good idea is to read the PHP manual. As explained in the next page, the maximum size of the downloads is controlled by the PHP configuration directives: http://docs.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.common-pitfalls.php. Normally, the maximum size of an individual file is 2 MB, and the maximum total value is 8 MB. If you are on shared hosting, I doubt that if the hosting company will be willing to change the configuration directives to allow 100 MB mail, but you can always ask.
