Get detailed OS SPs and patch levels

Hi all

I'm looking to find a way to extract detailed information from the operating system using powercli (Windows and Linux)

When I run get-vmguest - machine virtual vmname | fl , I only get the select OS.  Is there a way to get the WIndows SP level, patches, etc.  In addition, the same is possible for Linux virtual machines?

Is there a way to get the applications installed also? (I know it's a long shot, but he shot over there)

Thanks for the help,

Mike

That kind of information is not available through the Get-VMGuest cmdet I'm afraid.

You can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet to start a script inside the guest OS and query the information required from there.

For Windows boxes, you can use WMI to get the Service Pack

Get-WmiObject win32_operatingsystem | Select-Object Name, ServicePackMajorVersion and ServicePackMinorVersion

Or the following cmdlet to get the fixes.

Get-HotFix

For * nix boxes, depends of the * niox scent to be used. For an area of SLES you can for example use

SPident - vv

For a list of applications, it is similar.

You can do it on Windows boxes

Get-WmiObject-class Win32_Product

On * nix boxes, you can consider getting a

RPM - qa

  • Get details of username and group of companies of Workflows Hadoop

    Hi people,

    We are able to deploy Hadoop Clusters successfully using vCAC - vCO integration. We strive to update the database with information such as the user name (who asked the Hadoop Cluster), company of the etc group, the problem is, we are not able to make the username and group business Details of the vCAC through the Hadoop Workflows in vCO. These details are the entries, attributes, nor outputs... However, the details are displayed. But, when the workflow starts we get details such as ID username and group of companies in vCO on the 'Variables' tab (shown in the image below).  Is there a way we can save this information?

    System.log (__asd_tenantref); -does not work.

    I think that these values are updated automatically through vCAC when the deployment of the cluster is started. Is there a way we can track this information?

  • Get-Cluster execution memory and cpu details

    I am writing a script to generate graphs based on average use memory and cpu during the previous month, but I'm doing it for each cluster itself without explicitly naming them. The graphic bit side (I use mschart or googlechart for this) I just need to get the actual statistics and it's the bit that I have a problem with because everything I see with my research pulls the individual information of the VMs or the hosts in the cluster.

    I am looking for two values in each case - the name of the cluster and average use. But the use of the average for the overall Group and not the indivdual VMs.

    I was watching this:

    script of PowerCLI to capture cpu usage statistics & mem

    But that you use hosts.

    I have attached a picture of something that I'm looking, red line on average in percentage and the blue line on average in megabytes. It has been exported from the vcenter however. I'm just trying to save time.

    Thanks in advance

    For a data point average per day, you can simply add -interval 86400 education Get-Stat:

    Get-Stat - entity (Get-Cluster Cluster) - Stat $metrics - start $start - finishing $finish - interval 86400
    Instance of MetricId Timestamp value unit
    --------                ---------                          ----- ----     --------
    CPU.usagemhz.Average 14.05.2014 02:00 MHz 4298
    CPU.usagemhz.Average 13.05.2014 02:00 MHz 4109
    CPU.usagemhz.Average 12.05.2014 02:00 MHz 4163
    CPU.usage.Average 14.05.2014 02:00 10,74% *.
    CPU.usage.Average 13.05.2014 02:00 10,27% *.
    CPU.usage.Average 12.05.2014 02:00 10,41% *.

    Note that it may not include the values of the last day, since the rollup database for daily statistics task has not yet executed.

  • RMAN Tablespace Transportable between different patch level?

    Hello

    I've got question about RMAN Tablespace Transportable. Can I use this feature between databases with different patch level?

Apple will provide an upgrade for free or minimum package 5se 5 seconds it's users?

    The terms of the terms of USE on this forum we cannot speculate on what Apple may or may not do. That being said, there is no priority for what you ask. There is no way of knowing how long your device will be able to continue to upgrade to new versions of iOS. As long as he is able to run the new versions of iOS, it is fully supported. This is the level of iOS, not the hardware that is important here.

  • Every day I get this error message and send it to Microsoft. 32\svhost.exe C:\Systems32/Drivers\c30a67ae1d5f4bd4.sys AND C:\Windows\system

    Every day I get this error message and send it to Microsoft.  32\svhost.exe C:\Systems32/Drivers\c30a67ae1d5f4bd4.sys AND C:\Windows\system

    Also: Microsoft called me about a report of my computer.  My daughter thought it was a hoax and hung up.  Is there a way I can connect with this Department once again?

    Microsoft does not automatically contact you if you send details of error for them.  They use these reports to see what types of questions are trending and those that are trending upwards looked at herself.  The rest cannot.

    And your daughter has been very wise - the call she received WAS a scam and she did well to cling to their topic.  Microsoft never call you unless you call them first, and they tell you that they will call back.

  • Whenever I try to connect to my internet I get 'local internet only' and when I try to repair it it says that there may be a problem with your dns server.

    problem with connecting to the internet

    whenever I try to connect to my internet I get 'local internet only' and when I try to repair it it says that there may be a problem with your dns server, I looked for a solution for centuries now, and no one can seem to help me! Please someone help me?

    Hello

    First off I'm going to assume that when you say "local internet only", you really mean "local only". Also, I'll assume you are using a router for internet connection broadband. If I am wrong, then you will have to describe the answer how you try to connect to the internet more in detail.

    First of all, your router. The indicators show that there is an internet connection? Consult the manual, which probably came on a CD with the router. Internet connection led can resemble a planet with rings or a circle with a lower-case i in the middle of it, or some other symbol. It can also have a caption saying 'internet' or 'connected '. If the router is not connected while your PC will not have access to the internet.

    Click the Start button and type "cmd" then press ENTER. In the window type (mainly black) which results in ipconfig and press to enter. Transcribe the results of the command ipconfig for a response.

    Your (wired or wireless) network card is set to automatically get an ip address? Otherwise, set it to do that and also to get information from DNS server automatically...

    • Right-click on the icon network at the bottom right of your screen, and then click Network and sharing Center
    • In network and sharing Center, click on manage the network connections (on the left)
    • Right click on 'Connect to the Local network' or 'Wireless Network Connection' depending on how you connect to the router
    • Click on select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click the properties button
    • If things are not set to 'automatic', please note all numbers so that you can restore the settings if necessary
    • Make sure that "Obtain an IP address automatically" and 'DNS server automatically get an address' is selected, then click OK
    • Click on close

    If you are using a wireless connection, what happens if you try to connect to your router with an Ethernet cable?

    Please post back with your comments to the above and give more details about your configuration, i.e. router brand and model (or another material of Internet), if you connect wireless or with an Ethernet cable, etc. etc.
