• rescanallhba for SAN FibreChannel

  Hello

  We have a box of dev ESX 4.1 connected to a San through a Fibre Channel connection. «At random, our link cut LUNS in the SAN 'dead' and we go to "Configuration"-> "Storage adapters"-> controller "click on" Rescan all...» "manually. I try to run automatically using PowerCLI command vSpehere and get 'HostStorageSystem-storage system = False' attached.

  My order was Get-VMhost $MyVMHost | Get-VMHostStorage - RescanAllHba

  If anyone can help?

  Thank you in advance.

  

  So, this is the normal output of the Get-VMHostStorage cmdlet.

  Have you checked with the vSphere Client if the new analysis?

• Question about "ResolveMultipleUnresolvedVmfsVolumes".

  Hey everybody,

  I am working on a script to force the mount data warehouses in a DR situation and uses the ResolveMultipleUnresolvedVmfsVolumes method.

  Here is the code:

  $StartTime = get-date

  $spec = new-Object Vmware.Vim.HostUnresolvedVmfsResolutionSpec

  $spec. ExtentDevicePath = $LunHash. $key + ": 1" simple #Assuming measure

  if(-not $resignature)

  {

  $spec. UuidResolution = "forceMount".

  }

  on the other

  {

  $spec. UuidResolution = "will".

  }

  $AvgTime = $TimeArr.totalseconds | Measure - average | Select - ExpandProperty average

  Write-Progress-activity "Assembly of data warehouses" - status $key - PercentComplete ([int] ($fait ++ / $total * 100)) - CurrentOperation '$total $done' - SecondsRemaining (($total-$done) * $AvgTime)

  $rtn += $storageView.ResolveMultipleUnresolvedVmfsVolumes ($Spec)

  $TimeArr += new-TimeSpan-start $StartTime - end (Get-date)

  So this code works to force mount storage of data to a single host cluster, but when I perform a new scan or update the other hosts in the cluster storage does not appear. I thought that it would behave the same when you add a new data store to a host, and it fills throughout the cluster.  Has anyone in this issue where force of mounting data storage?  Is there a way to make of these inhabit the other hosts in the cluster, or would I just need to execute it against every host in the cluster?

  Thank you

• The perl API error

  Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I couldn't find a more appropriate forum. I'm trying to create a script that automatically resignatures cloned a store of data in Perl. I wrote in PowerCLI and I work but I get an error when you try to use Perl. Here is the PowerShell

  $res = new-Object VMware.Vim.HostUnresolvedVmfsResignatureSpec

  $res. ExtentDevicePath = $extPaths

  $return = $dsView.ResignatureUnresolvedVmfsVolume ($res)

  Here's the Perl:

• New analysis of data warehouses... at the level of the Cluster with PowerCLI 5?

  Hello

  Since vSphere has been provided (I think) the option to open a new analysis of the HBA on every host in the cluster ESXs is available in the GUI if you click with the right button on the cluster, select analyze again to data warehouses.

  I have read several threads from people requesting this option in Powercli but have not found a solution for this.

  When you do Get-Cluster-name | Get-vmhost | Get-vmhoststorage - RescanAllHBA to do this, the new analysis a host once in the cluster.

  Is there a solution for this now in PowerCLI 5.0?

  BR

  Henrik

  As far as I know, there is still no option to launch the new analysis across the cluster in paralel.

• Help? Scan of data store can register all the vmx

  Hi guys I am looking to automate my DR for VMware companies.

  We replicate 8 vmware LUN using our normal SAN technology and I have scripted take position on the last PIT (point in time snapshot) and assigning it to the esx host 4 that are in the data center 'DR' and the cluster "DR Cluster."

  I can use the PowerCLI to issue a new analysis

  Get-vmhost | Get-vmhoststorage - rescanallhba

  This should make the stores of data all pop in. (vmfs1, vmfs2 vmfs3 etc.)

  can I use the PowerCLI

  $vmxpath = get-datastorefiles (get-datastore vmfs1) |

  where {$_.} {Path access-match ".vmx$"} | Select the path. % {Registry-VM $_.} Path

  -vmhost (get-vmhost dresx.company.com)}

  is it possible to save a virtual machine to a cluster rather than a host? in this way, I don't need to worry on which ESX is used for the VM, I can just let DRS face when they are turned on.

  Is there a simple way to connect these scripts? is it possible to turn on all virtual machines and answering the question of the VM on the weather to keep the uuid?

  Take a look on HowTo find all VMX files in all data warehouses and store them in VC?, it contains a script to search for a store of data for unregistered customers.

  Yes, you can use a cluster do not specify a host to the RegisterVM_Task method, provided the cluster is configured to the DRS.

  For questions comments see How to keep or ignore the UUID when you power on a virtual machine.

• Attempt to add a new data with a script store

  I have an interview put in place where I remove a store of data once a week and he re-clone of our SAN.  I'm stuck with the script to add to the store of data back.

  I try to get the LUN ID of the new store of data to add.

  What I have so far is:

  I have remove the vSphere data store and delete the SAN volume.

  Then for a list of the currently available SCSI LUN:

  Get-VMHostStorage - RescanAllHba

  Get-ScsiLun | Select CanonicalName | Out-file c:\scripts\Before.txt-largeur 120

  $Before = get-Content c:\scripts\Before.txt

  I have it dumped to a file to make sure, that it was not truncated at all.

  Then, I create the new volume on the SAN and get the new list LUNS:

  Get-VMHostStorage - RescanAllHba

  Get-ScsiLun | Select CanonicalName | Out-file c:\scripts\After.txt-largeur 120

  $After = get-Content c:\scripts\After.txt

  Then to set the variable to the new LUN ID:

  $LunID = compare-object $Before $After

  The problem I have is that the $LunID variable is set to

  @{InputObject = eui.0134d870bf1f182f6c9ce90064ee16c5; {SideIndicator == >}

  Instead of the value eui.0134d870bf1f182f6c9ce90064ee16c5 that I need.

  Is there a way when I set the variable or run the object - compare to select only the part of this line?

  The result should be in $LunID.InputObject.

• Digitization of HBA

  I compare running esxcfg-rescan < the vmkernel SCSI adapter name > to the host through the SSH/console using powercli, connect you to the host and run Get-VMHostStorage - RescanAllHba. Do these two controls use the same mechanism to make the new analysis or are they separate from the mechanisms which achieve the same goal?

  The reason for this question is that performing the rescan all vCenter or Get-VMHostStorage - RescanAllHba while vCenter connected to discover new LUNS does not always work. The new LUNS will not appear on all hosts. Only by restarting the host or run esxcfg-rescan < the vmkernel SCSI adapter name > from the host solves this problem.

  If you use Onyx and the help of the Get-VMHostStorage cmdlet, you will see that it uses the RescanAllHba method.

  And as far as I know, the esxcfg-rescan command uses the same method backstage.

• How to get a number of LUNs of StorageDeviceInfo property to connect a nomperipherique or DevicePath?

  Hello

  I'm new in powershell script and I have a basic question. I try to get a number of LUNS on a drive connected to an ESX Server. I want it because I want to add a row to a virtual machine disk but in vsphere, it should be noted the unique device name. So I want to easily identify the rdm LUN to match the number of LUNS with the name of the device in the StorageDeviceInfo property.

  Anyone know an easy way to do it?

  Thank you

• Get the details of storage card using powershell

  Hello

  I'm looking for ways to get complete information on storage on my ESX box adapters. I fell on below script below, but it gives the target iqn details where I need host details iqn, is it possible to get this information?

  $esxImpl = get-VMHost-name

  Of course, this info is in the same object, different ownership.

  Try this adapted script. Should give you a better overview of your iSCSI topology.

  $stor = get-view (Get-VMHostStorage -VMHost (Get-VMHost -Name )).ID
  
  $stor.StorageDeviceInfo.HostBusAdapter | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "HostInternetScsiHba"} | %{

• travel-vmhost error - the destination of the specified parameter expects a single value

  I run in an error using Move-VMHost under PowerCLI version 5.5 R2 Patch 1 and 5.8 Release 1.

  There are 6 clusters in the data center.  To the host of the virtual machine between 5 of the clusters that I can run successfully:

  Get-VMHost vmhostname | Moving-VMHost Destination 'NOMCLUSTER '.

  But one group in particular always fails when it is specified as destination of the error message:

  The specified parameter "Desintation" expects a single value, but your criteria of name "cluster6" corresponds to multiple values.

  The only way I can get this working is to do:

  Get-VMHost vmhostname | -Move Destination VMHost (get-cluster | where {$_.name - eq "cluster6"})

  How 'cluster6' could correspond to several cluster names?  Is this just a bug in PowerCLI?  I started using PowerCLI more recently and noticed that some cmdlets can be a bit odd (for example had a few other problems with Get-VMHostStorage and found others have had similar problems with it).  I use this process of moving part of a more automated deployment script.  Prefer to make it as efficient as possible without having to insert the extra if possible Get-Cluster command.

  The Destination parameter on the Move-VMHost cmdlet accepts any VIContainer, not only the clusters.

  I suspect it could VIContainer one another with the same name.

  What this does?

  Get-inventory-name 'cluster6 '.

• Create a VMFS and add it to all hosts in a cluster

  Hi, I'm trying to create a script in order to create a data store and then present it to all hosts in a cluster.

  any idea?

  Add-PSSnapin "Vmware.VimAutomation.Core".
  # - Create Variables -
  #$vcenter = %1
  ##---Connexion to the VirtualCenter-
  $Server = $args [0]
  $ClusterName = $args [1]
  $VMHost = {get-Cluster $ClusterName |} Get-VMHost}
  $Name = $args [2]
  $Path = $args [3]
  SE connect-VIserver $Server

  Get-VMHost $VMHost | New-store data-Server $Server - name $Name - path $Path - Vmfs-confirm: $false
  Get-VMHostStorage - $VMHost - RescanAllHba - RescanVmfs-r VMHost

  You must be connected to the Cluster Get

  You need not create the data store on all nodes of the cluster.

  Just 1 host is sufficient.

  And the creation of a new store of data forces a new analysis.

  So that should be enough

  Add-PSSnapin "Vmware.VimAutomation.Core" ## ----Créer les  Variables----#$vcenter = %1## ----Connexion au VirtualCenter---- 
  
  $Server = $Args[0]$ClusterName = $Args[1]

• Addition of several stores of iSCSI data

  With the code below, I can currently join and create a new database from the following code.

  #Create a data store to attach new NetApp storage

  #Get - VMHostStorage $currentHost - RescanAllHba - RescanVmfs

  $lunpath = get-VMHost | Select - 1 first | Get-ScsiLun | Where {$_.} Seller-match "NETAPP"} | Select - 1 first

  Get-VMHost | Select - 1 first | New data store - Vmfs-path $lunpath. CanonicalName-name VMStorage

  Since then, I decided to add a total of three stores of data that are presented via my NetApp iSCSI. I want to name them, ds1, ds2, and ds3. Could someone help me please with the logic on how to loop through these discs present and create data warehouses? I thought I could do something like...

  #Create a data store to attach new NetApp storage

  #Get - VMHostStorage $currentHost - RescanAllHba - RescanVmfs

  $ds = "ds1".

  $lunpath = get-VMHost | Select - 1 first | Get-ScsiLun | Where {$_.} Seller-match "NETAPP"} | Select - 3 first

  for each ($lunpath)

  Get-VMHost | Select - 1 first | New data store - Vmfs-path $lunpath. CanonicalName-name $ds + 1

  I know it's very rough... but I'm not sure. I need to know how to increment the name of the data store, but also loops through these records.

  Thanks in advance

  Is there a setting - WhatIf to show you what one would do with the cmdlet New-store data.

  To create the data store, you must delete the - WHatIf parameter.

  It seems that the SW forum still had problems with hooks in the lines.

  I have attached the script.
