Get the name of the cluster which is on a virtual machine by using the virtual machine name

Hello

I wrote a code to get the various bits of information about our machines virtual for use in the capacity planning, we have 5 virtual centers, each has at least two clusters.

My code already gets a handle to the virtual computer object (using the code snippet below) I can get the hostname.  Is there anyway to determine which cluster this host resides on, for example, is there a property of the virtual computer object that can be used to get this info?

Public Sub connectVC()

{

string URI = " " https:// "+ Server +" / sdk "; "

customer. Connect (Uri);

customer. Login (username, password);

}

Public Sub get_vms()

{

NameValueCollection filter = new NameValueCollection();

filter. Add ("name", "^ wks");

IList & lt; EntityViewBase & gt; vmList = customer. FindEntityViews (typeof (VirtualMachine), null, filter, null);

foreach (VirtualMachine vm in vmList)

{

"Do things

}

Thank you

Mick

Take a look at this Perl script that gets what you are looking for, you may need to translate this into another language if you are not using Perl bindings: whichClusterIsMyVMIn.pl - Find that your VM clustered belongs (requires a vCenter)

  • How to get the customer name, UUID, and cluster comments

    Hello

    I was wondering if somone could show me how to tie somethings together. I can get a VM UUID, I can get the names of the virtual machines and the cluster on which they sit, but I'm having a hard time getting all 3 into a single csv report. All the world is that who could share? Thank you!

  • Get the names of cluster variables

    I have a cluster with a number of numeric variables that are grouped by names. The names and their associated values are now to provide a header of PDM-file via the "TDMS Set Properties" VI. This VI requires the names and values to be separated in the entries of "Property values" and "property names. My question is how to get the names of variables out of the cluster of an array of strings?

    I hope that there will be a nice solution for this but I have not found it.

    The 'Get Array cluster names' suggestion of the community seem to be adsvanced?

    Based on the suggestion of OpenG , here is an excerpt:

  • How can I get the names of control within nested groups? RT

    I decided it was cool to have nested clusters. For example, all of the analog data, I read in my review is in a single cluster, which consists of categorical clusters (IE 'pressure', 'temperature', etc.). Now is the time to save data in the .tdms file, and it would be really handy generate a pair of paintings in this cluster 'root' containing all the digital control labels and their data.

    I found this thread, http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Is-there-a-quot-Get-Cluster-Names-quot-VI/td-p/666555, that uses a property node to retrieve the control labels in the root certification cluster. It's great, but I only get the labels of nested (and none of their items) clusters.

    My lab-fu is not strong enough to find an elegant solution for this. I can brute force of unbundling and indicators, then using the property noted separately on them... but I think there must be a better way!

    The attached VI is my best effort to solve this. It works, but I fear that it is not the best code for the following reasons:

    1. am I really allowed to point to elements of the façade at RT will be deployed this Subvi in one executable startup?

    2. If the Subvi is in a loop, what should I do instead of 'build array' in order to avoid the memory use? All examples use it I read so much about how I shouldn't... and what the functional alternative?

    Thanks a lot for your time!

    Here's a version that uses the variant screws, will take care of any level of nesting and work on RT. The use of Delete of table and table to build is not too efficient, but should not be a problem if you only run this once when the program starts. If you use the Type Cast to convert a cluster in a table as shown here, all numerical values should have the same representation (IE do not mix single and double-precision floating points, or integers (ints) and floating point values), otherwise you will get weird data without warning or error.

    Also, your original code had a displacement uninitialized register. Pay attention to that - if you were to run this code twice, the second time that the table of data labels would be twice longer as it should be, because the shift register would be initially contains the values in the first round.

  • get the data store with details of mapped cluster

    Get-data store 'testdatastore ' | Get-VMHost | Name,@{N="cluster select '; E={$_| Get-Cluster}}, version

    Output:

    Version of cluster name

    Desired output:

    I need the name of output data store because I check for several data stores... can someone help me to get .csv exit foreach datastore as below

    Data name cluster version store

    testdatastore 10.0.0.0 testcluster 5.1.0

    testdatastore 110.0.0.1 testcluster2 5.1.0

    What type of data store?

    I'm asking because there is no mentioned properties (. ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent) for data warehouses is of type NFS:

    PowerCLI C:\Windows\system32 > ((get-datastore_iscsi*).ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent). Diskname

    NAA.60a9800042594835695d453439742f53

    PowerCLI C:\Windows\system32 > ((get-datastore_NFS).ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent). Diskname

    So, you'll need probably something like this:

    Get-Datastore. % { $ds=$_; Get-VMHost - Datastore $ds | Select @{N = 'Data store name'; E = {$ds. Name}},@{N="NAA '; E = {if($ds.) Type - such as 'NFS') {'NFS'} elseif($ds.)

  • Get the names of cache in a service

    Hello

    Is there a way to get the names of existing caches in a service in c#

    Concerning
    Nitin jegou

    Hi Nitin,

    In coherence, support cards for caches themselves are created in each node on demand each time that the first is the message (user request (if the cache did not use so far) redistribution (if partitioned) or initial population (in the case of replication)) arrives at the node.

    They are created according to the configuration schema caching.

    Caches themselves are not defined at all in the configuration, only the caching of schemas.

    In addition, cache mappings are defined, but this does not mean that they are actually used and corresponding cache are not created until they are first mentioned in the cluster, support cards.

    Is not yet possible to define an operation which gives the back of the list caches that can be created, because it depends on its use actual cache.

    The only significant thing is the list of cache and corresponding mappings to the caching of schemas, but gives no information on if cache actually has already been used or not. This information, you can possibly go to support card Manager, and that (I don't remember my head) can have a method that gives you information on the question of whether a backup plan has already been instantiated for the name of cache or not without instantiate following the "issue" himself.

  • How can I get the address book to sort by the name of 'Family' (using v 31.3.0).

    After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) in my computer running Windows 8.1, and I managed to import my address book backup file in Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
    My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by name of 'Family', which was available with the version of Thunderbird, I had before the crash.
    How can I get the address book to sort by the name of "family"?

    "Address book".
    Select address book
    "View' > 'Show name as' > last/first". "

    You can sort by name.
    Click on the 'Name' column header to change the sort order,
    Reversed, then click on the 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.

    Or
    'View' > ' sort by ' > select 'Name' and 'Crescent '.

  • When I click on address book I no longer get the slot to insert a name, instead a long list of names/addresses

    I sent this way new emails (not responses): click on address book. Place comes the space to insert a name. I do, find the name (among some close to it), select it and then click on "write". The result is an email address, which I proceed to write and send. But since there is one day, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the screen of the iMac. And there is no space to insert a name.
    Without doubt, I did something stupid to get there. What have I done? And how I turn the tide?
    Thank you.
    Arthur

    This isn't answering your question on what is wrong.

    I think that the address book is a pretty lame place to start.

    Click on write or reply or forward and window of writing messages appears. pre-populated with the text of the previous message if it is a reply or forward.

    If you select the To: box and start typing, it will feature names in the address book corresponding to what you typed.

    If you really prefer to choose from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add Contacts selected to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt + v to get the view menu and choose the Contacts Sidebar in the submenu. I don't know how much it works on Mac.

    It is so easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or BCC.

    Your method allows you to send a new message, but does not support the answer or transfer. It penetrates into all recipients regarding: and you have to change one by one, if that is not appropriate.

    You see why I think that the address book is a bad place to start from?

    If this alternative approach does not work then I suggest that corrupted address book. You have a recent backup to restore from?

    To get a clear reference of the performance of the CPU DUT to test steps, I need to somehow get the name of the step of the test step currently performed in the MainSequence for saving it and the CPU performance data.

    Finally, we have updated to TestStand 2013 and try to use your example.

    We have some problems to get the referral of wire, which is replaced by "threadToMonitor" in the expression you have posted, as far as I understand.

    The thread to monitor is the MainSequence. So, how can I get a reference to the MainSequence?

    Kind regards

    Pass RunState.Thread as a parameter to the call of the sequence. The parameter must be specified as an object reference variable.

  • interoperability c# get the name of the step

    I'm trying to use a code c# module in order to be able to read the name of the step of the call. However, my code only all returns 'Step' as the name of the object (no matter what the step is actually called in the sequence). Note that I also tried to do the same thing to get the name of the calling sequence - and it always returns 'Sequence '. Where I'm going wrong? Here's the code: (see attachment for full source and example TestStand sequence in the "Debug" folder.

    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Text;
    using NationalInstruments.TestStand.Interop.API;
    using System.Windows.Forms;

    namespace Test
    {
    public class TestClass
    {
    public void TestMethod (SequenceContext thisContext)
    {
    PropertyObject pObj = thisContext.AsPropertyObject ();
    PropertyObject stepObj;
    stepObj = pObj.Evaluate ('Step');
    MessageBox.Show (stepObj.Name);
    }
    }
    }

    As a bit of background, I'm trying to retrieve the name of the step of the call and the name of sequence all call them all the way to the top of the stack to the root. This same method works using the steps of the Expression, but I would like to hide the mess in a single code module. Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hi Ray,

    Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately, I think I did my a little too simplistic example! Your solution is perfect for the case of the name of the step, unfortunately, this won't work for what I'm trying to do. I write a journal of custom result which is called from the ProcessModelPostResultListEntry callback and check if 'The RecordResult' is enabled on all stages of SequenceCall in the stack and if every sequence in the stack has the option "RecordResults" is enabled. (Essentially, result record should be enabled at all levels so that the result to be connected). You may think that the recall of ProcessModelPostResultListEntry would be called only if this condition is met - unfortunately, it is only affected by the combination more nested "RecordResult" step and the properties of "RecordResults" of the sequence. Therefore, frustrating, I need to check all the way to the top of the stack to the ProcessModel. The reson why it is more complex, it is that step and sequence property further to the top of the battery are accessible by using the Evaluate() method, as opposed to the lowest level in the stack that can be accessed via thisContext.Step and thisContext.Sequence.

    In any case, I worked it out in the end: in TestStand Expressions allow you to take a number of shortcuts to APIs that are not available when you use the API in a different language - so why I was able to use phrases such as:

    Locals.SequenceRef = evaluate ("RunState.Caller.RunState.Caller.Sequence"),

    Locals.SequenceName = SequenceRef.Name

    Locals.SequenceRecResult = SequenceRef.RecordResults

    whereas the similar c# code worked as expected (note that the string of RunState.Caller above is actually built dynamically depending on the depth of the call stack).

    Be more explicit in c# works correctly even if:

    seqObj = pObj.Evaluate ("RunState.Caller.RunState.Caller.Sequence");
    SequenceName = seqObj.Evaluate ("name"). GetValString ("", 0);

    SequenceReqResults = seqObj.Evaluate ("RecordResults"). GetValBoolean ("", 0);

    Although writing this response, I just found the following property:

    SequenceContext.CallerDiscardsResults

    ' Returns if any order in the call stack tells TestStand to disable the results or if any step caller in the call stack instructed TestStand do not save results.

    Typical! I think that this may be an easier to use way!

    Thanks anyway,

    Phil

  • How can I get the size of a Cluster in bytes?

    I want to get the value of a cluster size, and I found the function "Get variant attribute" I think that to do this,

    but I can't find in the documentation http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361D-01/glang/get_variant_attribute/

    Anyone would provide the values of the attribute name that can receive?

    And it's right to get this function I need or there is another way?

    Hi Marco,.

    GetVariantAttribute may not give you the size of a cluster - it will just give you the a variant attributes!

    You can create attributes with any name (but a non-empty string)...

    Why should you get the size of a cluster?

    Perhaps you could serialize to a string and get the length of the string. Or type in a table of U8 conversion and get the arraysize...

    After my last comment, I read your details a little closer.
    The last script I posted was to list out a whole directory in 8.3 format.
    If you are looking for a friendly way of Clipboard to recover the 8.3
    for individual files, that will be more to your liking.

    Same thing as before. Copy the below into Notepad and save it with a .vbs extension.
    Except that this time, you can simply drag and drop a folder or file icon
    on the .vbs file and it displays the short path in an input box.
    where you can copy the value and use anything you want to.

    If you're industrious, you can also save the .vbs file in your
    Folder "send to" (C:\Documents and Settings\ [yourname] \SendTo) to have
    It is available in your context menu with a right click.
