• Collect information of the NIC via PowerCLI

  Hi all

  We need to collect the following information about all the cards in all hosts via PowerCLI:

  -name

  -manufacturer

  -version of the driver

  -firmware version

  -MAC address

  We know the esxcli method, but it would take a lot of time that we have many hosts and they would send an alarm to deactivate the lock mode and activating SSH and it would be extremely long and inefficient.

  While Google search, we found this method through Get-EsxCLI (http://jreypo.wordpress.com/tag/powercli/), but for some reason that I can not even list the NICs.

  PowerCLI C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI > $esxcli = Get-EsxCli - vmhost host

• How to calculate the CPU via Powercli contention in vsphere 5.5?

  Hi all!

  I installed Vmware Vrealize trial version of my framework.

  Vrealize metric show of restraint CPU, I want to calculate using Powercli.

  Do you know how? What measures of Vsphere included competing Vrealize CPU?

  Thanks in advance!

  I found it!

  It's metric cpu.latency.average in Vsphere 5.5

  You can check this setting in your cluster via this PowerShell script:

  $clusterName = "cluster_name.

  $stat = "cpu.latency.average".

  $esx = get-Cluster-name $Cluster | Get-VMHost

  $CPU_contention = (get-stats - $esx - $stat - Realtime Stat entity - MaxSamples 1 |) Measure-object-propriete value - average). Average

  "$CPU_contention ="{0:N1}"f $CPU_contention-replace '," »

• Details of the signature of a package added to the repository via PowerCLI

  Hello, is there any cmdlet / details of setting available to pick up the signature (whether signed or not signed) a package added to the repository?

  Thank you

  Ghislain

  Just checked again, and there is no property that indicates whether or not a VIB is signed.

  You must open the VIB and check whether the checksum is present.

• How to calculate the IOPS datastore / s and latency via Powercli?

  Hi all!

  I want to calculate the IOPS / s (RO/RW) and the latency of the data via Powercli store, but I cant' find this metric in Vcenter (in the data store tab) and see no metric for data via the cmdlet Get-Stat store.

  How can we measure IOPS / s and latency of data store?  For example I know veeam monitor this information - http://cdn.swcdn.net/creative/v16.8/images/screenshots/products/VM/Lg/EN/VMan60-Orion-Datastore-Top_Lg_960x540.jpg

  I know, I can get this VM or vmhost metric, but I need information on the data store.

  How to measure for IOPS / s and latency of data properly store?

  Thanks in advance!

  These measures are collected on ESXi nodes, entity would need to have the ESXi nodes where these data warehouses are connected.

  You can use the Instance property to filter.

  Under the PerformanceManager , you see all the measures for each indicator it indicates under which entity this metric is collected.

  

  And Yes, the cmdlet Get-inventory returns no data warehouses.

  There is a little, aggregated metric for data warehouses, I'll have to find an alternative for those.

  Nice catch!

• grabbing the mouse usb speed

  In brief: I want a usb mouse for it's X and Y of the speed of queries on a regular interval.  How do I?

  What I have: My current attempt is to configure the mouse as a device GROSS VISA and grabbing the data via a suspending VISA USB on the loop (attached) event.  It works fine; My problem with this approach is that it returns stamps on uneven intervals, i.e. each time that an event is raised or the time-out occurs.

  My ideas: Although I certainly would not stifle all other solutions to the original problem, I have some ideas of my own, that you may be able to help with, too, if you think that one is in fact the correct approach to the original problem.  Ideas:

  1. I read through chip communication practical USB (here and here), and I can't say I learned enough of a gentleman to understand in all, they gave me the idea that maybe instead of an interrupt event, I could use a USB Control VISA Office to enter the data on demand.  Nugget #2 described the Warlock-ery (i.e. %valeurs and so forth at the entrance) necessary for the VISA USB Control in the GET_DESCRIPTOR vi.    I have attached my simple VI for how to do this.  I have not the slightest idea of what are the values to provide to catch X speeds and there, however.
  2. It may be heresy to some or you, but I heard there may be some device or other which converts the digital output of the mouse in the analog signals, which could then be simply recorded by my DAQ card.  This could also be done via some creative arduino-ing (i.e. program arduino to interpret digital trains of the mouse, and then convert them them interpreted speeds X and Y on its analog ports).

  I think once I am able to set up "on-demand of sampling", so to say, X data and there, this is a pretty simple question for this tie in the bigger than the mouse recording system clock will be a part of.  I look forward to hearing it as the input and ideas you all have.  Fire away!

  Best,

• How to calculate the CPU Ready on Cluster DRS via Powercli?

  Hi all!

  I have a DRS Vsphere cluster. I want to know what is the value of the loan of CPU I have in my group.

  For example, I get 20% of powercli value, it is normal for the cluster, but if I have 100% or more, I have a problem.

  How to achieve via Powercli? And how to calculate the percentage values correctly?

  I know, I can get all values of CPU Ready of VMs cluster, but IT is not the same thing, I need overall value of CPU Ready.

  Thanks in advance!

  As far as I know you can get the cpu.ready.summation for ESXi nodes or VMs.

  For a cluster, you will need to get the value of each node in the cluster ESXi and then take the average.

  The metric cpu.radey.summation is expressed in milliseconds.

  To get a percentage, you need to calculate the percentage of loan period during the interval during which it was measured.

  Something like this (this will give the loan current %)

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $stat = "cpu.ready.summation".

  $esx = get-Cluster-name $clusterName | Get-VMHost

  $stats = get-Stat-entity $esx - Stat $stat - Realtime - MaxSamples 1 - forum «»

  $readyAvg = $stats | Measure-object-property - average value. Select - ExpandProperty average

  $readyPerc = $readyAvg / ($stats [0].) IntervalSecs * 1000)

  Write-Output "Cluster $($clusterName) - CPU % loan $(' {0:p}'-f $readyPerc).

• Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

  Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

  SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

  This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

  y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

  Thank you, Joe

  It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

  Edit:

  Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.

• Run the package in Guest remotely via PowerCLI

  Hi all

  I'm sure that I came across a script that can run a batch file in Windows remote clients using PowerCLI, but for the life of me I can't find it.

  I have 4 Windows VMS, who have the same connection credentials, they have a test.bat file in the same place, I need a way to execute commands remotely via PowerCLI simultaneously, is - it possible?

  It seems that the sqlio command is not found. May be that the directory is not in the Path variable in this OS.

• The host system resources / booking via PowerCLI

  Hello chaps,

  Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the CPU and the memory that is reserved for a host via PowerCLI?

  I usually affect the reserve memory 800 MB and CPU 800 MHz according to the design best practices.

  Thank you

  As far as I know, there's no cmdlet for this, but you can use the UpdateSystemResources method.

  You just need to know that the key to the Scriptures "host/system".

  $esx = Get-VMHost MyHost 
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostSystemResourceInfo $spec.key = "host/system" $spec.Config = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceConfigSpec$spec.Config.cpuAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo$spec.Config.cpuAllocation.reservation = 800$spec.Config.memoryAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo$spec.Config.memoryAllocation.reservation = 800$spec.Config.ChangeVersion = $esx.ExtensionData.SystemResources.Config.ChangeVersion

• Disable the host followed via PowerCLI

  Hi all...

  
  I am looking for a way to disable the host followed via powercli.

  I found one-liner of LucD to get the current state: Get-Cluster | Select Name, @{N = 'Home monitoring status'; E={$_. Extensiondata.Configuration.DasConfig.HostMonitoring}}

  And I know how to turn on/off HA: Get-Cluster | Cluster - HAEnabled game: $false

  But I'm not sure how to combine the two.

  I want to be able to quickly toggle host control without having to disable HA altogether.

  Thoughts?

  Thank you!

  You can use a where clause

  Get-Cluster | where {$_.} Extensiondata.Configuration.DasConfig.HostMonitoring} | Cluster - HAEnabled game: $false

• Fully automate the addition of a datasoter via PowerCLI

  I have a need to be able to completely automate the addition of a new data store to a new installation of ESXi via powerCLI.  My problem is I want to have this fully automated and be able to enforce it against any box without user intervention, which means that I need a way to return the CNAME of the ScsiLun in new-store data command.

  I am currently using the command to run my action you want below, but for some reason, it does not.

  $con = get-ScsiLun | Select-object CanonicalName

  New data store - VMHost 192.168.1.1 - name newDS-path $con - Vmfs - BlockSizeMB 1

  Although below works very well.

  I also tired the Deputy bud did not work

  $test = get-datastore. Select-Object - 1 first

  new data store - VMHost 192.168.1.1 - name dvms-path $test - Vmfs - BlockSizeMB 1

  Help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  The Select-Object cmdlet does not return the name of the LUN as a string, but as a ScsiLunImpl object.

  The New-Datatsore cmdlet requires a string for the - Path parameter.

  You can do

  $con = (Get-ScsiLun).CanonicalName
  New-Datastore -VMHost 192.168.1.1 -Name newDS -Path $con -Vmfs -BlockSizeMB 1

• Export data of material state via PowerCLI

  Hello

  I was just wondering if anyone have used PowerCLI for export the xml information of material status for a host to vCenter?

  I'm not really familiar with PowerShell and PowerCLI so I don't know if this is even possible but it would help us to completely automate some pilot third party verification.

  Thank you for your time and help

  Matt

  You can check the driver versions when you are connected to a host without the need for an XML export.

  I've attached a quick script and dirty to write versions of all the drivers in the console.

  Main points of the script:

  Connect-VIServer - Connect to vCenter

  Get-VMHost - lists associated Hosts the vCenter

  Get-EsxCli - access to the host ESX CLI

  $EsxCli.system.module.get("$DRIVER_NAME") - retrieves the VMKernel module (if the system knows about it) by name

  It's just the best way to show how to get information about the drivers. Basically you just connect the vCenter Server via PowerCLI, then connect to hosts one by one. When you are connected to a host, use EsxCli to obtain the driver information (module).

  I also forgot to add a line at the end of the script, so here it is: ' $DISCONNECT = Disconnect-VIServer $VCENTER_SERVER-force - confirm: $FALSE.
