• Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

  We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:

  all stores of data seen by a cluster

  the virtual machines on the data store

  the host of the virtual machine is on

  the cluster the host is in

  The output I want is

  name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster

  any help would be appreciated

  Pretty sure this will do what you need:

  $report = @()
  Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
      $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore
      foreach($datastore in $datastores){
      $vms = $datastore | Get-VM
      If ($vms.count -ge 1){
          foreach($VM in $vms){
          $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                Datastore = $datastore.Name
                VM = $VM.Name
                HostName = $VM.VMhost
                Cluster = $cluster
              }
          $report += $object
          }
  
      }
      }
  }
  $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use

  $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}

• List of virtual machines in the data store that is not in stock

  Hi guys

  PowerCLI rookie here, sorry for the stupid questions.

  I'm trying to clean up a bunch of singehost with local data warehouses. So I need a script that can display a list of files of virtual machine on a data store that is not used by VMs in the inventory. One of the problems is that the files on the data store, isn't every means, named exactly the same as the virtual machine in the inventory.

  Summer watching this, but I think the term "orphan" is "sent, in my view, it is:

  Also it is - this one, I think that I should be able to change it to do what I want:

  http://www.wooditwork.com/2011/08/11/adding-VMX-files-to-vCenter-inventory-with-PowerCLI-gets-even-easier/

  Any tips or hints to push me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  Please try:

  $AllFilesLocalDatastore = get-data store 'localdatastorename ' | Get-fileindatastore

  $FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs = get-FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs

  #The two functions above are available here http://thecrazyconsultant.com/find-orphaned-vmdk-files-workflow/

  Check the contents of the two variables for example with VGO or export-csv

  $AllFilesInESX01LocalDatastore | OGV

  Try:

  $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM = $AllFilesLocalDatastore | {foreach-object

  $FullPath = $_. FullPath

  If ($FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs.FileName - notcontains $FullPath) {}

  Return $_

  }

  }

  $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM | OGV

  #The over a will contain all the files that are not identified as associated with any virtual computer

  $ProbablyOrphanedFiles = $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM | where {$_.} FileTypeFullName-match "VMware.Vim.Vm *"-GOLD ($_.) FileTypeFullName - eq "VMware.Vim.FileInfo" - AND ($_.)

  Changed the name of the data store, it seems that he was not supposed to be in the first screenshot.

• Cannot download the files of the virtual machine for the data store

  Hello

  I get an error message "connection to the server timed out" while I'm trying to download the files from the virtual computer from the data store.

  Although the ESX and my laptop are on the same network, I get this error message.

  Please let me know if I need to take care of something.

  Thank you.

  I think that hard & .vsmp be used & locked is why you are unable to download it. Try to download the file, whereas the VMs system is turned off

• Method to move the virtual machines in the data store temporary so I can rebuild pool recommended NFS

  Our current data store is a mounting NFS on Nexenta (zfs), which has a pool, I need to rebuild (migration of raidz2 to mirror striped for performance). Initially, I was relying on the judgment of all virtual machines, create a new pool, copy (cp - r) of the Nexenta console all virtual machines to the new pool, recreating the pool mirror and then copy (cp - r) all the data back.

  I have seen several discussions on this topic and seems like the simplest method would be to use the feature to "Migrate" so that the virtual machines are not fragmented. However in some of my pre-test when I copy a virtual machine between the basins of the Nexenta console it appears (from the data store Explorer) to initially create the vmdk provisioned and then once completed it copy looks too thin.

  I hope that I can simply copy the Nexenta console, using the option "Migrate" in vCenter on each of my 40 MV looks like it would be * quite * tedious compared to the simple issuance of an order of 'cp - r' and leave all the copies of VMs (1.5 to) during the night and then adding them to each host.

  Does anyone have experience with this? Or maybe a way to generate scripts easily (?) the option "migrate" in vCenter?

  Thank you all!

  You can select multiple VMs in vCenter regularly using CTRL + click or shift + click and both migrate them as long as they have the same storage destination.  You can also schedule it as a task.    Add manually each computer virtual back in hand is not less painful than migrating individually, anyway.

• List of virtual machines in the data store but is not registered in the inventory

  I have a perl script that can list all the virtual machines in a datasore given by using the HostDatastoreBrowser object.

  However this only back vms who are registered. I want to be able to find images that have 'removed from the inventory' users but not destroyed on the data store.

  I even reach this may by using the HostDatastorBrowser? If this is not the case, how can I achieve my goal?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can, but you may need to put the data in a different format. It is actually more a matter of perl a matter of VI Toolkit.

  You must create the appropriate list, then use the PERL map function to evaluate an expr on the entire list. Personally I just use a foreach example statement.

• Find unused virtual machines in the data store

  I am interested if anyone has a powershell script list virtual machines in a store of data that does not currently exist in vCenter inventory? Basically, I have a problem when users often delete the vCenter inventory virtual computer but leave the VM disk. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

  Do not know what position you found, but may also take a look at my post of Raiders of the lost VMX

• Copy of the file of the virtual machine to the data store

  Hello

  I downloaded 10 GB of ISO my VM 2003 SRV. Now I want to move these files to my data store, so I can mount them when necessary. So far, the only way I see is to move the files to my XP pre-installed and choose Download via the browser of data store. I use ESXI and manage via Vcenter. I have the essentials package.

  I don't know that there is a smarter way?

  TIA

  If you need copy (ISO, vmdk) files in your data warehouse, using the client data via vSphere store browser works. You could also SCP your connection to your ESXi Server files and selecting data warehouses with software like FastSCP or WinSCP.

  If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

• Add virtual machines to a data store while changing the name?

  I am trying to create a virtual machine in standby (or more, I do not have a final number) in a second datacenter.  The goal is to have a copy of a group of virtual machines updated once a week as a relief.

  I'll use our SAN replication to keep them up-to-date, so once a week, I stop all virtual machines in the data store, remove them from the inventory and remove the data store.  Then on the side of SAN, I'll create a new copy of the data store, then add this data store to vSphere.  We will do a few rounds of network to ensure we have not any change in the network that should be taken in the virtual machine.

  The only changes to the virtual machine that needs to be done, are changing the vSwitch is logged in, that I understood, and to rename the virtual machine, either before being added, or when it is added.  Since it is a copy of a virtual machine running, I'm not able to add all virtual machines to the new data store.  I need either change the name of the virtual machine before being added, or when it is added.  All I have to do to change the name is add something like - backup at the end of the name of the virtual machine.

  Is it reasonably simple way to do this?  It seems that he was promised that we could do that and now I need to find a way to make it work.

  Thank you

  You can search the data for the VMX store you want to register a script like the one you'll find in VMX Raiders revisited.

  To change the name of the virtual machine, you will need to replace the line that contains the New - VM cmdlet with something like this

  $newName = $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath.split('/')[1].Split('.')[0]New-VM -VMFilePath $path -Name ($newName + "-backup") -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder -RunAsync

• What is the advantage to affect multiple virtual machines in a data store?

  Hello

  Quite a question stupid and basic, but I can't answer . What is the advantage of having multiple virtual machines in a store of VMFS data instead of having each VM in another VMFS data store? (eg. 3 VMs in 1 data store or 3 data warehouses and each virtual machine in one of them). I can only think about the ease of management for storage administrator because it creates only a single large LUN.
  
  Thank you

  By allowing multiple virtual machines in a data store, you can run more than 256 virtual machines in a DRS cluster.

  As a host has a limit of 256 scsi identification numbers, which means that it accesses no more than 255 LUNS shared. 1 scsi ID is used for local storage.

  In a DRS cluster as each host must be mapped to the same data warehouses to ensure that virtual machines can be moved on the cluster and run on any of the hosts.

  Now in my life as an architect VMware PSO I saw that a lot of virtual machines that require a single data store. The main reason to isolate a virtual machine on a data store must provide sufficient i/o performance. This can be achieved with other solutions than to isolate a virtual machine on a data store. Having a properly architected storage subsystem is crucial, vSphere can get out of a very large number of the IOPS / s. With technologies such as SIOC and DRS for storage, you can check that the virtual machines receive IO performance according to the needs.

• Migration of storage when the virtual machine has several data stores

  How can I (or can I) use Storage vMotion on ESX4.0 U1 to migrate part of a virtual computer to a new data store?  I have a virtual machine with 5 data stores attached and move 1 data warehouses to a LUN of larger size.  What is the best method?

  On the "Select the data store" window, click on the button "Advanced". You can specify the location of each VMDK and configuration files.

• Orchestrator 5.1 REPORT-all the virtual machines in the data center and create a CSV file

  Hello

  What I basically want to do is create a report CSV of all virtual machines in the data center with various information (VMname, domain name FULL, IPaddress, status, data warehouses, tools etc...).  The export list in the client feature is insufficient (especially for any KPI report).

  Problem: (workflow is still under construction so real email send does not not and need to clean the code)

  I am stuck at the part of the creation of a table that can be parsed correctly in the CSV file.  2 ways I've tried will produce a report of single object or combine all of the table into a single string (where I am now).  I think the main problem I have is that I have to create a 2D within my service to push toward the final table that is written to the CSV format.  Basically, I do not understand how to push my variables in a loop of a table.

  Any help or assistance?

  Thank you

  BOOM!

  Added some comments, removed the hardcoded in the csv temp file, deleted path the hardcoded port 25 for SMTP - mail settings should come from the configuration of the MAIL plug-in. And fixed / confirmed that the workflow now includes the attachment for e-mail and ends with success!

• Gets the data store size

  Hello, I do not know if here is righ place to my question if not please tell me where I can post it.

  I am attemping the information on the data store size by CLI with order tracking.

  c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin > vmkfstools.pl "C:\Prograare\VMware vSphere CLI\Perl\bin\perl.exe" - serve
  queryfs-/ vmfs/volumes/v7ksas17 - vihost jvelnx - vm01.tigre.in

  work of starts but he asks me user and password for the moment that I run.

  I want to move this authentication directly by the CLI only after "ENTER".

  Is it possible? How?

  Thank you

  If you use the vCLI under Windows, you can use the passthroughauth - assuming you connect in Windows system with the same credentials that you would login to your vSphere environment.

  If this isn't the case, you can also specify the user name and password by specifying it only on the same command:

  for example

  vmkfstools.pl - Server [VC] - queryfs/vmfs/volumes/v7ksas17 - vihost jvelnx - vm01.tigre.in - username [USER] - password [COL]

  Also, you can create a session file and then specify that, in this way, you don't need to have your credentials in clear text.

  You can take a look at the additional documentation by auth options here - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.getstart.doc_50%2Fcli_run_remote.5.3.html

• Migration of virtual machines from a data store, and then delete the data store?

  Hello

  I have a future deployment this month and my Director wants to build a new RAID 6 array, create a store of data with the new table and then move all the VMS to the newly created data store.

  Then he asked me to take the old data store and remove it and the available space between the deleted data store and other stores of data in our shared environment. The question is when the new raid is created and vm has migrated to the new data store, which is the best way to remove the data store empty and make sure that the space available for other data stores? Any help would be appreciated...

  Greg ~.

  If all controls are met, you can go ahead and take it apart without any problem.

  I have re-iterate below checks:

  -No virtual machine is in the data store

  -The data store is not part of the cluster data store

  -The data store is not managed by the DRS storage

  -IGCS is disabled for this data store

  -The data store is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.

  Especially highlighted 2 controls. Please note that SIOC can be enabled on the data without SDR photo store
