• The use of Get - view instead of Get - VM for the advanced settings of a virtual computer

  I have a question in relation to the advanced settings of a virtual machine and using Get - view instead of Get - VM for this particular case:

  Get - VM * | Get-AdvancedSetting - name "scsi * sharing | Select the entity, Name, Value

  My idea is to use:

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine. Where {-not $_.} Config.Template} | Where {$_.} {Advanced.Setting - eq ' scsi * sharing "} | Select the entity, Name, Value

  but as far as I can see there is nothing for the advanced configuration of 'VirtualMachine' here: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.powercli.cmdletref.doc%2FVirtualMachine.htm

  I also took a quick glance at https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.vm.ConfigSpec.html , but I can't figure out how to use "extraConfig"in the script PowerCLI to extract this particular information for "Sharing of SCSI".»

  There is information how to use the API to add or change a computer virtual here .vmx file key advances: http://blogs.vmware.com/PowerCLI/2008/09/changing-vmx-fi.html but it is not clear to me how to use it just to extract information without changing what.

  Try like this

  foreach ($vm in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine - property Name, Config.ExtraConfig - filter @{'Config.Template ' =' False'})) {}

  $vm. Config.ExtraConfig | where {$_.} Key - like "{scsi * sharing '} |"

  Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},@{N='Template'; E = {$vm. Config.Template}}, Key, Value

  }

• Get-view Config.Hardwar.Device network adapter key 4000 solve Type of device?

  I know Get-NetworkAdapter before someone proposes.

  Now when using Get-view I drill down on a single record to the NIC see example in the attached picture.

  I know that the device type is an e1000e I see not listed in the hardware configuration, so I'm sure that his code in a hash table.

  
  My best guess is that 4000 KEY = E1000E but I would like a complete list of all the buttons on the unit so that I can solve them in my scripts.

  Any help is welcome and appreciated thank you.

  The type of NETWORK adapter is the objecttype.

  The following will first list all the types of devices and then filter the E1000 map

  $vm = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{'name '=' MyVM'}

  $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | %{$_. GetType()}

  $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | Where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.VirtualE1000]}

• Folder is a virtual computer in the use of Get-View

  All, I run a script to collect information on the virtual machines in the environment, but have not been able to figure out how to get the file to in the virtual machine is.  I know I could use a get - vm | Select name, file etc. but at the time wherever I have add a get - vm statement, I'll add a TON of execution time of the script.

  I currently use it as my get-views command...

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-Name property, Runtime.Host, Config.GuestFullName, Config.Annotation, Config.Hardware.NumCPU, Config.Hardware.MemoryMB, Guest.Disk, Config.Template, Guest.IpAddress | Sort-Object-property name. %{
  If ($_.) Config.Template - not $true) {}
  $row = "" | Select-Object Name, Notes, MemoryGB, host, CPU, OS, Cluster, IPAddress, DiskSpaceGB, UsedSpaceGB

  ....

  I know I'm just grabbing some properties, but I was not able to find the property that gives the name of the folder.

  To try to find the right one, I did

  $vm = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"Name" ="VM_Name"}

  Then just walk through the $vm variable. (Property) etc.

  Anyone?

  In the VirtualMachine object, the Parent property contains the MoRef (pointer) to the object of the file.

  In order to

  Select Name,@{N="Folder; E = {Get-view $_.} Parent | Select name - ExpandProperty}}

• Using Get - view instead of Get - VM for BusSharingMode from a virtual computer

  Yet again, another issue was with Get - view. I searched a lot of documentation, but still I don't get the logic how to find good properties that I need to use.

  In this case, I need to transfer this one:

  Get - VM | Get-SCSI controller. Where-Object {$_.} BusSharingMode - eq ˜Physical"} | Select {$_.} Parent.Name}, BusSharingMode

  in:

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-Property Name,Config.NameofthePropertyforBusSharingMode

  I will be grateful if someone could provide a documentation (or at least give me an idea what to read to get oriented) on these properties and their format so that they can be used to Get-View.

  The closest thing I found is this one: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.VirtualMachine.html and the VirtualMachineConfigInfo: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.htmlhttp://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.html
  I guess that in this case, we are talking about VirtualHardware (SCSI controller): http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.VirtualHardware.html and still I cannot establish the connection.

  It is all documented in the VMware vSphere QAnywhere, but as the title suggests, this is a reference.

  The vSphere Web Services SDK Programming Guide is intendedas a learning guide.

  Only no VMware book that explains a bit more on the vSphere API and objects is the book of Steve Jin, called VMware VI and vSphere SDK: management of VMware Infrastructure and vSphere

  It is written for Java developers, but it explains the basic concepts.

  In this specific question, you must know that all devices connected to a virtual computer is located in Config.Hardware.Device.

  It is a loop through the devices and extract the virtual SCSI controllers, also with bus physics active sharing.

  Once you have, it's simple extract properties.

  foreach ($vm in Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine - Name property, Config.Hardware.Device) {}

  $scsi = $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.VirtualSCSIController] - and $_.} SharedBus - eq "physicalSharing"}

  {if ($SCSI)}

  $scsi | Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},

  @{N = "Controller"; E={$_. DeviceInfo.Label}},

  @{N = "BusSharingMode"; E={$_. SharedBus}}

  }

  }

• How to read the VM ProvisionedSpaceGB and UsedSpaceGB using get - view?

  Hello

  I would like to retrieve the properties of the VM ProvisionedSpaceGB and UsedSpaceGB using get - view and not get - vm.

  How do I do that?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Kind regards

  André

  Hello, Andre-

  You can retrieve some properties of an object view VirtualMachine and then do some computed properties, such as:

  ## get the View object of this VM, with a choice few properties (faster), then select some info about the objectGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Name" = "^myVM0$"} -Property Name,Summary.Storage |    Select Name,        @{n="ProvisionedSpaceGB"; e={($_.Summary.Storage.Committed + $_.Summary.Storage.Uncommitted) / 1GB}},        @{n="UsedSpaceGB"; e={$_.Summary.Storage.Committed / 1GB}}
  

  To just get these some properties in the call to Get-view is the smaller memory usage in the PowerShell session and much higher speed during the extraction of the View object (without specifying properties to retrieve, the cmdlet returns all properties). How does do for you?

• Getting the data center of VirtualMachine with Get-View information

  Hello

  Y at - it a faster way to get the name of data using Get-View and the viewtype VirtualMachine Center.

  I found the following:

  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -filter @{ "name" = "mtl1fsit02" } | Select-Object -Property Name, 
  @{ Label = "GuestOSName"; Expression = { $_.summary.guest.guestfullname } }, 
  @{ Label = "Datacenter"; Expression = { (Get-view (Get-View (Get-view $_.parent).parent).Parent).name } }
  

  Thank you guys

  I think that the property calculated for the data center does not work in all situations.

  It assumes that your virtual machines are 3 levels down from the data center, which is not always the case.

  I personally use a loop, passing up through the parents, until he finds an object data center.

  something like that

  @{N = 'Center'; E = {}

  $parentObj = get-view $_. Parent

  While ($parentObj - isnot [VMware.Vim.Datacenter]({))

  $parentObj = get-view $parentObj.Parent

  }

  $parentObj.Name

  }

• Use get - view to get the host data center

  Hey guys,.

  I'm trying to shoot the host number of name and the version with get-view.

  I got to that, but I also want to get the data center that host belongs to.

  How can I get that advice please, don't have Googling has not helped a lot.

  Thank you

  RJ

  With the ExtensionData property we have access to the object VirtualMachine .

  Most of the managed objects vSphere has a property, called Parent, which points to the object that is connected to our object (the ' mother' in other words).

  The content of the Parent property is a MoRef (pointer). To get the real object, we use the cmdlet Get-view with this MoRef.

  We repeat this process in a while loop until the parent object is an object of data center .

  It's a bit like the structure of the tree in the vSphere Client.

  You start with the ESX (i) server and back up in the tree until you encounter a data center.

• Speed by using Get - VM vs Get-View

  Many VI Toolkit script I wrote end up needing to do something like this:

  Get-VM-name "vmname" | Get-View | etc.

  For some reason, I have to repeatedly Get-display to get something of value in the script.   For anyone who is located in a large enough knows that it's quite slow.   My colleague will me and said ' why don't you just jump the Get - VM and use Get - view directly?   You know it's a pretty clever idea, so I do.   I'm blown away at how much difference it is so I'll and the script I use time.

  Using the command Get-VM-name "vmname" | Get-view takes 1 minute and 37 seconds to run.  Ugh.

  Using the command Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"Name" = "vmname"} takes... Wait what he

  Wait what he

  Wait what he

  5.12 seconds!

  Yes.  I don't do this.  The question I have for the VI Toolkit/Powershell assistants out there is WHY! ???

  The script I used for the test is attached.  Yes, it's not the world the better as its only my 3rd custom wrote the script to this day well I'll take recommendations contained in private messages or something different to make it better, nicer, faster, cooler, more powershell as.

  Hey, Ian,

  You can verify that you are using VI Toolkit 1.0 Update 1 (v.1.0.1). Between 1.0 and 1.0 1 update we have taken measures to improve the speed of Get - VM (limited). So if you're on upgrade-1.0.0 to 1.0.1 will relieve your problem a little bit.

  Basically, the reason why "Get - VM" is significantly slower than 'Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine' is the virtual computer object is quite large and contains much more data than the view.

  A slow Get - VM is clearly a serious problem because it is by far the most frequently invoked cmdlet. If we look at ways to resolve the problem.

  One of the biggest steps we are taking is delegating the filtering on the server nickname. So, when you call Get - VM "vmname" the server would send a single virtual machine. This optimization is based on a feature which is new to VC 4.0. The bad news is that it will be a while before out us the version that has this optimization.

  Meanwhile, we are looking at ways to reduce the size of the VirtualMachine object by removing some of these objects nested such as VMGuest and virtual devices. The largest obstace of this change is the need for backward compatibility. If it's not completely simple, but I think that we will be able to find a compromise accepbable.

• Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

  I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.

  The immediate question is the specs for the game ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " Originally from the "Performance Difference between GET - VM and GET-VIEW")

• Refresh the information in network host using PowerCLI

  Hi all

  Currently, we use a regular script written using the API, perl which regularly refreshes the host network configuration, to pick up any new VLANS which may have been added.

  foreach my {$entity_view (@$entity_views)}
  My $host_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'HostSystem', begin_entity = > $entity_view);
  {foreach (@$host_views)}
  My $netMgr = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_->-> networkSystem configManager);
  $netMgr-> RefreshNetworkSystem();
  sleep 120;

  Can someone tell how can I achieve the same using the Powershell API.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello, hargma-

  You should be able to achieve this with:

  $viewHosts = Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name,ConfigManager
  foreach ($viewHost in $viewHosts) {
      $viewNetMgr = Get-View $viewHost.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem
      $viewNetMgr.RefreshNetworkSystem()
      Start-Sleep -Seconds 120 } ## end foreach
  

  Or well, a little more compact way:

  Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name,ConfigManager | %{
      (Get-View $_.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem).RefreshNetworkSystem()
      Start-Sleep -Seconds 120 } ## end foreach
  

  Enjoy

• Regular Get-view filter expressions

  I have the following code:

  $vms = get-VM-location 'test '.

  for ($i = 0; $i - lt $vms. County; $i++)

  {

  $vmOS = get-View - ViewType 'VirtualMachine' - filter @{"Name" = $vms [$i] .name} - property @("Nom", "Config.GuestFullName") | Select-Object - property name, @{N = "ConfiguredOS"; E={$_. Config.GuestFullName}} $vmOS

  }

  $vms contains some virtual machines to a folder called 'test '. I have 2 virtual machines in the folder - 'test' and 'test2 '. When I run the code above, when the 'test' VM is put in the loop, she returned twice. Time for 'test', and 'test2 '. I'm looking for a regular expression that I can use to get the exact name of each virtual computer so that only 1 value is returned by $vmOS in each loop.

  The filter is a regular expression, you can use the indicators of positions (^ and $).

  Something like that

  $vms = get-VM-location 'test '.

  for ($i = 0; $i - lt $vms. County; $i++)

  {

  $vmOS = get-View - ViewType 'VirtualMachine' - filter @{"Name" = "^ $($vms[$i].name)$" ""}-property @("Nom","Config.GuestFullName") |

  Select-Object - property name, @{N = "ConfiguredOS"; E={$_. Config.GuestFullName}}

  $vmOS

  }

• Get-view SearchRoot when duplicate. MoRef exists

  I created a script to list the details of the bunch and I thought I would faster by using get - view instead of the Get command for each object.  I came across a problem on line 14.  It seems that I have data centers in different virtual centers with the same. MoRef values.  Not sure how I can script around that.

  Note that this script below is a global script version

  $csvreport = @()
  $ClusterList=@()
  $OutputFile="C:\Temp\looptesting.csv"
  $Date=Get-Date -Format d
  
  
  
  
    foreach ($virtualcenter in $DefaultVIServers) {
  
  
    ForEach ($DC in (Get-View -ViewType  Datacenter -Server $virtualcenter)){
  
    Foreach ($cluster in (Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource -SearchRoot $DC.MoRef)){
  
    $ClusterList = "" |select-object "Collection Date","Virtual Center",DataCenter,Cluster
  
    $ClusterList."Collection Date"=$Date
    $ClusterList."Virtual Center"=$virtualcenter
    $ClusterList.DataCenter=$DC.Name
    $ClusterList.Cluster=$cluster.Name
  
    $csvreport += $ClusterList 
    }
    }
    }
  
  
  
  
  $csvreport |export-csv -NoTypeinformation $OutputFile
  

  Can't you just use the Server parameter on line 14, as you did on line 12?
