  2 support without monitoring/silent install? I need to add them to an existing deployment routine.

  Thanks in advance!

  All the tools on your ESX host .iso files can be found in

  /vmimages/tools-isoimages/
  

  There is a way to push tools, but part of the upgrade tools are NETWORK card drivers and you can lose some pings or experience of ping times raised the expectations of the customers.

• How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed

  Hello

  In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs

  I use PropertyCollector for details.

  But in the following cases

  1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.

  2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.

  I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.

  To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:

  rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)

  -> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)

  I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.

  Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.

  Thank you

  Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html

  When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address

  Hi Bruce,.

  Out of what I can find on this network card is not available for the Mac without an operating system. I recommend get/burning a live CD/DVD of Ubuntu/Linux and run an Ifconfig in there.

  Hope this helps you.

• How to get the Mac address of a virtual machine?

  Hello world...

  I need help to get the MAC address of a virtual computer, I'm stuck in it.

  Please reply if anyone know solutions.

  Thank you

  Here's a vSphere SDK for Perl script that extracts the MAC addresses for all your virtual machines - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10490

  You should be able to take it and translate it into any language vSphere SDK you plan to use. Basically you'll be listing through virtual hardware for the virtual machine to search for devices of type VirtualEthernetCard and then retrieve the MAC address of each device.

• Stop virtual machines with or without VMware tools installed

  So after a power failure major where I work has taken place where the batteries of the UPS only ran about 10 minutes and the emergency generator didn't kick in, I was put in charge of writing a script that starts to stop the virtual machines and servers in a given cluster. Now that I am relatively new to the environment here, so I don't know if all the virtual machines have the tools are installed. I want to cover all bases and the virtual machines that do not have the tools installed. My script done now is it initiates closing the comments on all the virtual machines and check every 10 seconds to 120 seconds for virtual machines go offline if after 120 seconds, there are even virtual machines online, it issues a shutdown command on all servers that have not stopped. Now, he'll catch all the virtual machines, but I don't want the machine have to wait 2 minutes before totality if it can be avoided (remember that this script will be executed when the data center goes to the power of the UPS for every watt account to keep critical systems online). the script throws an error when it cannot stop because no tool is installed, so I thought I could use a try/catch block to catch the error and send just a detroit of turning control of these VMs off. I tried to do, but without success.

  Is it possible that I can either catch the error, or a stop all virtual machines that do not have the tools installed?

  Attached is my code, maybe you can spot what can I do to stop the virtual machines without tools within the do / while loop when errors occur first.

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
  $server = $args [0]
  $cluster = $args [1]
  SE connect-VIServer-Server $server
  $counter = 0
  {}
  If (Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq 'receiving'}) {}
  If ($counter - eq 0) {}
  Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"} | stop-VMGuest-confirm: $false
  }
  Write-Host "VMs are on waiting" (120-$counter)"seconds"
  $counter = $counter + 10
  Sleep 10
  }
  }
  While ($counter - 110)-or ((Get-VMHost |)) Get - VM | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"}) .count)-No 0
  If ($counter = 120) {}
  Write-Host "certain virtual machines did not not stop properly, tension now.
  Get-Cluster-name $cluster | get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - eq "receptor"} | Stop-VM-confirm: $false
  }
  Write-Host "Putting servers into maintenance mode."
  Get-cluster-name $cluster | Get-vmhost | where {$_.state - eq 'connected'} | Game-VMHost-State "Maintenance".
  Sleep 10
  Write-Host "stop servers."
  Get-cluster-name $cluster | Get-vmhost | where {$_.state - eq 'Maintenance'} | Stop-VMHost-confirm: $false
  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  Try something like this

  $vm = Get-VM
  $vm | where {$_.Guest.State -eq "Running"} | Shutdown-VMGuest -Confirm:$false $vm | where {$_.Guest.State -eq "NotRunning"} | Stop-VM -Confirm:$false
  

  Virtual machines running VMware tools will get a judgment of comments, while the virtual machines that do not have the VMware tools running, will get a poweroff.

• The purpose of VMware Tools in a Linux guest?

  There are benefits to install VMware tools in a Linux without head/command line only VM?  The only things I see it adding would share his IP address info.  Are there features that I miss out on by installing do not?

  Indeed, as the RPM and tar from the instructions in file ends with "Start X Windows", it seems that it is not designed for anything other than the GUI (for mouse tracking/display setting enhancements)?

  With VMware tools, you can make things easier. For example, you can do 'clean shutdown' of the machine virtual of ESXi, or synchronize the time between ESXi and VM. I'm not sure but I think that vmware balooning pilot would need tools to work correctly.

  But you can still live without vmware-tools and perform all of the above tasks (although not as easily). Personally, I don't use vmware-tools with linux-VM as modular kernel is not permitted in our society.

• How can I get the version of VMware to virtual machines with powercli officer?

  How can I get the version of VMware View Agent running on a virtual machine with powercli or view Powercli?

  As much as I know there is no cmdlet PowerCLI for this, but you can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and interrogate the Win32_Product class.

  By running the following. You can add a Where clause to return only the Agent of the view

  Get-WmiObject-class Win32_Product | Select the name, Version

• the alarm when VMWare Tools installed?

  Hi friends,

  I want to set up an alarm to be triggered when the client install VMWare tools. Is it possible to do? I saw not all defined event to do this.

  Thanks in advance.

  I don't think there is an event defined for the installation of the tools you mentioned, when you right-click on a VM under tension and make an installation of tools he calls - MountToolsInstaller that doesn't return any value back to listen to you. Most likely, it generates a task in which you can find probably the system and the trigger of broad, but nothing in real time at default of the vSphere API.
