Get-Stat - disk response
Hello
I went through the various threads for a debate on the output of the Get-Stat '-drive ' element as he tries to understand the OPS are / s of a VM. When you run the command, I went back to "disk.usage.average" where the "Description" indicates that this is below the average disk i/o rate, however the area of the 'unit' claims that the measure is in Kbps.
I expected the field unit as IOPS / s which in itself is a unit of measurement? Or that I get it wrong?
Command: Get-Stat - entity SERVERx - Realtime-disc - MaxSamples 1 | Export-Csv ServerX.csv
Output:
Thanks to all in advance.

Get-stat - disk for virtual machines on NFS data warehouses
Hi all
Through work for VMs on NFS data warehouses get-stat-disc?
$myVM | Get-stat - disc
Doesn't seem to work for VMs on NFS data warehouses, but that works for VMs on VMFS data warehouses.
After a presentation of VMware to http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:h78Db7LqHcwJ:www.slideshare.net/vmwarecarter/powercli-workshop+%2Bget-stat+%2Bnfs & cd = 2 & hl = in & ct = Europeans & gl = at the & source = www.google.com.au
«WARNING: NFS performance statistics are not available (to come in a future version of vSphere).»
When these statistics are available for NFS data storage?
Kind regards

The answer is in the property of instance data that Get-Stat returns.
(1) get-Stat ==> canonical name of the LUN on which disk the hard
(2) get-Stat virtualdisk ==> The SCSI id of the virtual disk inside the VM
(3) get-Stat data store ==> the name of the data store
(1) you give statistics for view virtual machine i/o activity starting from the LUN. For a VM with several virtual disks on the same data store, this will display the total IO statistics. And it will also include i/o generated by another VM on the LUN as swap, Flash files related...
(2) gives statistics for 1 specific virtual disk of your virtual machine
(3) statistics of e/s of your VM to a specific data store. Interesting when you have a store of data with multiple extensions (multiple LUNS)
I hope that clarifies it a bit.

Hello list,
I have a strange problem with a script for performance:
I want to get the mem.usage.average / cpu.usage.average counters of all my servers esxi (4.1.1)
to connect-ViServer 'vcenter.server.local '.
$esxHost = get-vmhost 'server.esx.local '.
Get-stat - $esxHost - stat mem.usage.average entity
...
On seven servers, it works very well. On a server, I have no answer. No data, without exception no failure. just nothing.
Can someone help me with this?
Kind regards
Andreas
OK, this seems to indicate that performance data are for one reason or the other not to be transferred between the host and vCenter.
If possible, you can remove/add for the specific host.
You can do this from the vSphere client or use the PowerCLI Remove-VMHost and Add-VMHost cmdlets.
Real-time statistical data are cached on the server ESX (i) for about 1 hour, after the aggregation of vCenter should launch.
Then you should start to see performance, in the vSphere client or Get-Stat data, after about 1 hour.
BTW, guests running on this host will normally not be affected by the Remove/Add.

This could be the cause of this error? Can I just ignore it?
It is somewhat related to the issue you reported in metric does not exist, but the documentation says it should
This output, it seems that you are connected to a node ESXi, not a vCenter or both.
View the contents of $global: defaultviservers to check.
On a node ESXi, you get only 20 seconds intervals (for the +/-breaking).
I suspect that this node ESXi was started, where the limited number of parameters returned.
If this is not the case, then there is a problem with the PerformanceManager on this node ESXi.

Get-stat on the syntax and parameters
Where can I find a * complete * reference to the cmdlet get-stat, including:
- All entities, I can ask
- All the stats, I can tell (if possible, divided by entity)
examples I can take as an example?
I was able to locate dozens of interesting pages and samples, but no reference complete...
Concerning
Marius
It is a response of 2 parts:
- The syntax of the cmdlet Get-Stat is documented in the cmdlet help page (do a Get-Help) and in the reference online (see link)
- The metrics are documented in the SDK reference under the heading PerformanceManager
For point 2, you also use my Stats Toolbox.
For example on the use of Get-Stat have a peek at all my performance statistics related messages.
And there are of course many examples available in this community.

A customer using a (free) ESXi host reports serious performance problems.
My goal is to see if performance issues are due to memory, CPU, disk, or any other component.
I've created a PowerCLI script to query the ESXi host to collect conters performance.
Before starting can use, I assess whether the use of get-stat can aggravate the problerms with the performance of the ESXi host?
My script should begin every 60 senconds, use the "connect-viserver" cmdlet and then cycle delivering approximately 20 times the cmdlet "get-stat' to get the values such as"cpu.usage.average","mem.usage.average"and so on.
Can it worsen the performance of the target ESXi host issue?
Should I before statring to use it?
Will there be a better strategy to collect performance counters?
Concerning
Marius
Performance in real time on an ESXi node are maintained during +/-1 hour, so I would not ask as often as every 60 seconds.
The cmdlet Get-Stat imposes some overhead on the ESXi node, then Yes, that this can have an effect on the interpretation of the node ESXi.
A few other tips to lower to load:
- use only the counters that you absolutely
- try to locate the source of the problem with a minimal set of counters, then go down by adding several counters

Get-stat for monthly trends of data warehouses
Hi all
Long time lurker of time,
I have not been using PS for long and mostly just pin out one liners for things like "whats connected to X", etc.
I'm trying to output a file that I can put in excel and create configured vs used graphics is the idea.
I would like to get this down so I can manipulate to other entities.
I can wrap this around a foreach loop that I can usually understand.
With get-stat, I noticed that he gets a single value, then the other so the MetricID is evolving, so I can't just select the property.
I have a script already where I show the last value and then put them all on the same graph, but it would be cool to have a chart with the data store to see the trends.
We have vcops, but I find the graphics a slow process, because we have dozens of warehouses of data around the world.
It's my script simple I must then cut and paste the values into additional columns, but who wants to do it manually
I can do something like this
$todayMidnight = (get-Date-time Minute 0 - 0 - 0 second)
$Startmonth = - 1
$metrics = "disk.capacity.latest", "disk.provisioned.latest", "disk.used.latest".
$datastore = "vm_production01".
$arrds = get-datastore. WHERE-object {$_.} Name - like $datastore}
$a = get - Stat - $arrds - Stat $metrics entity [0] - boot $todayMidnight.AddMonths ($Startmonth) - complete $todayMidnight | where {$_.instance - eq ""} | Sort the timestamp | Select the timestamp value
$b = get - Stat - $arrds - Stat $metrics entity [1] - boot $todayMidnight.AddMonths ($Startmonth) - complete $todayMidnight | where {$_.instance - eq ""} | Sort the timestamp | Select the value
$c = get - Stat - $arrds - Stat $metrics entity [2] - boot $todayMidnight.AddMonths ($Startmonth) - complete $todayMidnight | where {$_.instance - eq ""} | Sort the timestamp | Select the value
$fin = $a + $b + $c
$fin = $a + $b + $c
$fin | ConvertTo-Csv | Out-file C:\support\scripts\development\datastoreusage.csv
See the attachment for the final goal.
I don't know if I need to create a custom object to accomplish, if someone could help me that would be great.
and none of the useful articles where I can learn to do it, I'm almost finished powershell in a month of meals but I do not think that this is covered
Thank you all
To run this for all your storage data and then create a spreadsheet with the data store, you can use the function of export-Xlsx .
The script should look like this
$todayMidnight = (get-Date-time Minute 0 - 0 - 0 second)
$Startmonth = - 1
$metrics = "disk.capacity.latest", "disk.provisioned.latest", "disk.used.latest".
$ds = get-Datastore
$xlsxPath = "C:\ds-report.xlsx".
Get-Stat - $ds - Stat $metrics entity - boot $todayMidnight.AddMonths ($Startmonth) - complete $todayMidnight |
Group-object - property {$_.} @entity.name} | %{
$dsStats = $_. Group | Group-object - property Timestamp | %{
New-object PSObject-property @ {}
Timestamp = $_. Name
'Capacity (GB)' = [Math]: Round (($_.)) Group |
where {$_.} MetricId - eq "disk.capacity.latest" - and $_. ({Instance - eq ' '}). Value / 1 MB, 2)
'Allocated (GB)' = [Math]: Round (($_.)) Group |
where {$_.} MetricId - eq "disk.provisioned.latest" - and $_. ({Instance - eq ' '}). Value / 1 MB, 2)
'Used (GB)' = [Math]: Round (($_.)) Group |
where {$_.} MetricId - eq "disk.used.latest" - and $_. ({Instance - eq ' '}). Value / 1 MB, 2)

Average read get-stat - virtualdisk.read.average stat?
Hi all
I want to use the metric virtualdisk.read.average to calculate the average read speeds per virtual disk to a virtual computer in the last 24 hours (using the 5 min interval)
[1]
I want to calculate the average in * every * instance and then add these individual averages until you get the desired amount.
For example (using real-time output just for example only, I want 24 hours actually):

average (10 + 0 + 5 + 0) = 3.75
Total liked: 121.75 + 3.75 = 125,5
What is the best way to achieve this? (Unfortunately there is no global instance as with the network and cpu.usagemhz parameters)
[2]
For the calculation of the IOPS / s, if you use the metric datastore.*, OR as the virtualdisk.*, is the following statement, 100% good:
(a) virtualDisk.number [Read |] Write] Averaged.Average will calculate the OPS are / s generated by the virtual machine
(b) disk.number [Read |] Write] .summation will calculate the OPS are / s that hit this particular data store (useful to see how busy is a data store - but will not provide any info on a single virtual machine (unless by chance, there is only a virtual computer on this data store special))
[3]
How to use virtualDisk.number [Read |] Write] calculate the IOPS / s for a given virtual machine? Depending on the issue [1], to each VMDK, PAHO are / s on average individually and then add the averages for overall IOPS generated by this virtual machine in the last 24 hours?
Concerning

[1] use the Group-Object and Measure-Object cmdlets for this.
For example
$vm = Get-VM MyVM $report = @() $stats = Get-Stat -Entity $vm -Stat virtualdisk.read.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-12) $stats | Group-Object -Property Instance | %{ $row = "" | Select Instance,Average $row.Instance = $_.Group[0].Instance $row.Average = ($stats | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average).Average $report += $row} $report $total = ($report | Measure-Object -Property Average -Sum).Sum Write-Host $vm.Name $total
This will calculate the averages per virtual disk and add the averages together
[2] see my post get PAHO are / s maximum .
(a) Yes, provided that you add the OPS are / s for each virtual disk total
(b) No, if you run the Get-Stat for an entity that is a virtual machine, you will get the statistics for this specific VM disk.
The metric is available for HostSystem and VirtualMachine. See the column of the entity in the drive settings page.

Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store
Hello
Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.
I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)
I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN
The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB
Concerning
Marius Aulie
If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:
-set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device
-Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command
-detach the LUN to the virtual machine
-try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store
The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

I want to collect static for each lun get PAHO are / s, etc..
But for some reason any:
Get-Stat - entity host1.example.com - Stat disk.numberRead.summation - IntervalMins 5 - MaxSamples $maxSamples
Gives me the error:
The metric meter "disk.numberread.summation" there is no entity "host1.example.com '.
After that, I get the result.
How to solve this problem?
Rob, this is a known problem.
I'm afraid there is no solution for this (yet).

What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
