$global: variable defaultVIServer gets replaced by data warehouses in PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2

I recently noticed a strange behavior with the variables global:defaultVIServer(s) of $.

The content has been change in the middle of my script. especially after sub $global: defaultVIServer.Name

10.10.10.10 for 10.10.10.10@443

For some reason any port number was getting stuck at the end of the name field, which failed in the cmdlet Test-connection (ping).

After some research, I went down to my use of the global variable of VMware, vmstores

The following line replaces $global: defaultVIServer

$dsList = (dir-path vmstores :)

Code snippet

to connect-VIServer $vctIP

Global $: defaultVIServer | FL

$dsList = (dir-path vmstores :)

Global $: defaultVIServer | FL

$dsList | FL


You can see that $global: defaultVIServer gets replaced by the data of $dsList after the dir command

Screenshots are attached.


At least, I have to unplug my server and reconnect to solve this problem.


Is there a better way to get the list of warehouses of data (and their paths) with PowerCLI 6.0?

Maureen

I only call this command in one place in my scripts, so I tested for a '@' char in the $global: variable DefaultViServer after this call and if I find it then I disconnect and reconnect to my servers.  This version fixes the global variable, which I use in other places in my scripts.

I didn't change my scripts having to use the other variable, $global: DefaultVIServer.ServiceUri.Host,.

because it would have been a little more difficult.

In addition, when the bug fix is implemented, I won't change my scripts.

Extracted from:

foreach ($server in $global: DefaultViServers)

{

# check if @ tank is in the name; i.e. @port_number

If ($server. Name - match ' @')

{

# split the name IP address and port number

$serverNameList = $server. Name.Split('@')

Disconnect $serverNameList VIServer [0]

sleep - 1 seconds

SE $serverNameList connect-VIServer [0]

}

}

  • How to get the global variable for an instanceId

    Hello

    I have data in global variables of an instance level. And using that instanceId, how can I get the global-level variables data.

    Please me tips


    Thank you
    Sailendra

    Hello
    I guess you want to get the value of the external variable within the process. You can do like this:

    assuming that it is of type string. For other types of type cast properly...
    String extVarValue = (String) (New Component(instance: this)).get(attribute: extVarName);

    Replace "extVarName" with your project name. It returns the value of your project for the instance that you are currently working.

  • global variable functional to read and write data from and to the parallel loops

    Hello!

    Here is the following situation: I have 3 parallel while loops. I have the fire at the same time. The first loop reads the data from GPIB instruments. Second readers PID powered analog output card (software waveform static timed, cc. Update 3 seconds interval) with DAQmx features. The third argument stores the data in the case of certain conditions to the PDM file.

    I create a functional global variable (FGV) with write and read options containing the measured data (30 double CC in cluster). So when I get a new reading of the GPIB loop, I put the new values in the FGV.

    In parallel loops, I read the FGV when necessary. I know that, I just create a race condition, because when one of the loops reads or writes data in the FGV, no other loops can access, while they hold their race until the loop of winner completed his reading or writing on it.

    In my case, it is not a problem of losing data measured, and also a few short drapes in some loops are okey. (data measured, including the temperature values, used in the loop of PID and the loop to save file, the system also has constants for a significant period, is not a problem if the PID loop reads sometimes on values previous to the FGV in case if he won the race)

    What is a "barbarian way" to make such a code? (later, I want to give a good GUI to my code, so probably I would have to use some sort of event management,...)

    If you recommend something more elegant, please give me some links where I can learn more.

    I started to read and learn to try to expand my little knowledge in LabView, but to me, it seems I can find examples really pro and documents (http://expressionflow.com/2007/10/01/labview-queued-state-machine-architecture/ , http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Community-Nugget-2009-03-13-An-Event-based-messageing-framework/m-p/... ) and really simple, but not in the "middle range". This forum and other sources of NEITHER are really good, but I want to swim in a huge "info-ocean", without guidance...

    I'm after course 1 Core and Core 2, do you know that some free educational material that is based on these? (to say something 'intermediary'...)

    Thank you very much!

    I would use queues instead of a FGV in this particular case.

    A driving force that would provide a signal saying that the data is ready, you can change your FGV readme...  And maybe have an array of clusters to hold values more waiting to be read, etc...  Things get complicated...

    A queue however will do nicely.  You may have an understanding of producer/consumer.  You will need to do maybe not this 3rd loop.  If install you a state machine, which has (among other States): wait for the data (that is where the queue is read), writing to a file, disk PID.

    Your state of inactivity would be the "waiting for data".

    The PID is dependent on the data?  Otherwise it must operate its own, and Yes, you may have a loop for it.  Should run at a different rate from the loop reading data, you may have a different queue or other means for transmitting data to this loop.

    Another tip would be to define the State of PID as the default state and check for new data at regular intervals, thus reducing to 2 loops (producer / consumer).  The new data would be shared on the wires using a shift register.

    There are many tricks.  However, I would not recommend using a basic FGV as your solution.  An Action Engine, would be okay if it includes a mechanism to flag what data has been read (ie index, etc) or once the data has been read, it is deleted from the AE. 

    There are many ways to implement a solution, you just have to pick the right one that will avoid loosing data.

  • Is it possible to replace occurrences of a global variable massively while also setting up the components of connector?

    I work through some of my old code now, looking to increase the performance where I can. Here's my situation:

    1. I used Global Variables to spread a few constants in my screws, instead of a proper typedefed cluster.

    2. execution does not have an extension, but no matter when I save the project, I would say 50 to 60 percent of the economy/compling time is spent on the screw of 300 or more with global variables. I suspect it has to do with the link between the overhead associated with the global.

    3. Ideally, I would like to replace this:

    What is the VI server is capable of? You can assume that the VI in question have very predictable names, matching the regular expression:

    Is it still worth it to replace?

    I don't know what you mean by compile time.  One of my big projects LabVIEW RT, which has about a thousand of screws, a lot of VIGs (FGVs), engines of the Action, even a few Globals and variable shared.  In my case, the thing that seems to "slow down" the compilation the most is the links to the report generation tool (I use Excel workbooks for 'drive' of experience and also save the data a bit).  If I do a building together, to build this routine and about 6 'support' routines (data analysis, utility Configuration, etc.), it may take a minute, but I can't find this excessive nor a charge (compared to the facility to isolate/encapsulate features in screws as FGVs).  So I guess I don't understand the "real problem"...

  • How to make a USB-TC01 temperature data a global variable?

    Hi all!  I have a simple question (probably).  I bought the box USB-TC01 and with the software came a VI called LabVIEWTempLogger.  This VI reads a thermocouple voltage and internal conversions using DAQmx and a CYC edge to give a reading of simple temperature.  My problem is that I want to use this temperature in an another VI, then I want to make a global variable of temperature of LabVIEWTempLogger.  How to set a global variable such as temperature of LabVIEWTempLogger?  Thank you!

    You must get out of the recorder temperature VI the DAQ Assistant. Put it in a Subvi if you wish.

    Your main VI has some problems. The first fact a comparison is equal to the current temperature. Never make an equal comparison on a floating point number. Use in the range and force.

    The local 'Set Temp deg C' should be replaced by a wire from the Terminal. All local variables should be replaced by a wire. You can easily have the cable terminals from outside the main loop.

    Can't the difference in code in the States True and False when you read voltage.

    Don't use VISA bytes to the Serial Port. It's just bad style. You programmed it for a terminal character LF to get rid of fixed forward and set the number of bytes to read at a high number. Playback will wait until the stop character is detected and then automatically end.

    Finally, you have already created a world so I do not understand your questions about it.

  • Digital control system, using limits of entry of data with global variables

    Hello!

    I have a Subvi with several digital control sliders. These control framerate, the pixel clock and exposure of a camera and their change in max/min/increment whenever one of them is changed - they are interdependent and get their information from the camera continuously during execution.

    I'm trying to remote control this VI, but during the passage of a value using global variables, it doesn't "stick".

    Example:

    The value for exposure is 237,48 Ms. different values are constrained to the nearest value. So if I pick 240,00 ms at the Subvi, he should know that this is not a valid value and change to Mrs. 237,48.

    But it is not do and I don't know why. When I enter the values manually, it works fine.

    Any suggestions?

    The limits on the controls that apply when their control from the front and is not passing values via the connector pane.

    You should use something like "line and force" within the VI to validate the values are within the range (maybe constrain data or return an error).

  • APEX 4.2 translate data 'function and Global Variable declaration '.

    Hello everyone,

    I use APEX 4.2.1.00.08 and I wonder if there is a way to translate "Function and Global Variable declaration" textarea. Any other script text box is available for translation, but not this one.
    I know what the code is loaded on the header, but may contain important alert messages of global functions.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Grandmaster,

    "Function and global variables declaration" contains the JavaScript code, that is why it is not wise to include in the standard translation process.

    In my opinion, you have several options to access your translated messages:

    -) Use Application-> Substitutions or
    -) Store your message in the form of component shared-> SMS and and assign it to an application with the APEX_LANG element. Api MESSAGE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_lang.htm#CHDBCEAB)

    In 'Function and Global Variable declaration' use substitution syntax to replace the value. For example:

    var myDeleteMessage = "&G_MY_DELETE_MESSAGE.";
    ...
    alert(myDeleteMessage);
    

    where G_MY_DELETE_MESSAGE would be a part of the application or the request for Substitution.

  • 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

    marc0

    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.

  • Get string of data Variables

    Hello

    I'm post and retrieve data to an ASP page on a site.

    The data returned using the following function:

    var dataS3:String;
    function handleComplete3(event:Event):void
    {
         var loader3:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
         dataS3 = loader3.data;
         trace(dataS3); 
    }
    
    

    The trace (showing the received data) looks like: score1 = 0.5244005132792953 & score2 =-0.27105341041929653

    How can I get these 2 partitions (score1 and score2), which seem to be part of a string of data, into separate variables that I can then later use as numeric values in frames (round/add/subtract/multiply/divide their)? Is there a way to analyze the 2 variables for use in mathematics from frame later? Would I declare var DataS3 differently or keep it as a string, and then somehow convert the string back to separate the numbers or integers?

    Any help appreciated.

    In general, you use objects, you can run a loop on this. You can also type cast that you do only when you must instead create a variable to use.

    Your example rewritten using a table and casting can be:

    function handleComplete3(event:Event):void

    {

    do a bunch of var = value pairs

    var urlVars:Array = String (event.target.data).split("&");)

    S5

    trace (String(urlVars[0]). Split ("=") [1]); a string of draws

    S6

    trace (String(urlVars[1]). Split ("=") [1]); a string of draws

    Now you want to conversion, just convert online numbers instead of again assign vars

    S7

    trace (Math.Round (Number (String(urlVars[0]). ((Split ("=") [1]) * 1000) / 1000); number of prints

    S8

    trace (Math.Round (Number (String(urlVars[1]). ((Split ("=") [1]) * 1000) / 1000); number of prints

    }

    The fundamental point is that you can use the data that you receive directly and unless it is in a feature called very intensively you can just multiple operations at the same time without saving changes out of additional variables.

    You are allowed to Garland and types of melting as you go. For example I have to split the string by one & ampersand into a temporary array, I did it for easier reading. To print your S7 I would have done this one line of code:

    function handleComplete3(event:Event):void

    {

    traces of your S7

    trace (Number (Math.Round (Number (String (String (Event.Target.Data). Split ("&") [0]). Split("=") [1]) * 1000) / 1000));

    }

    There is no difference between the S7 printing. You assigned a bunch of variables and set up one by one. I sank anonymously their Garland style without attributing all the variables working directly on the data. I just wanted to point the daisy chaining power of ActionScript. You can convert things as you go and condense the code and dynamic variable usage a bit.
