• vCenter shows all virtual machines and the host is disconnected

  Hello

  I have a two nodes in the cluster ESXi6 U2 (recently updated to 5.5) running on hp dl380p gen8. For some reason all the virtual machines are running on host A (HA and DRS are enabled).  vCenter shows all virtual machines and host A is disconnected. Cannot connect to A host using vSphere client or web client. Cannot vMotion the VMs. Impossible to activate SSH. Connection DCUI works very well. Cannot perform any action VM

  All virtual machines are in place are running at this point. I don't want to restart the virtual machines. Can you help me please?

• List of all virtual machines running on a local storage

  Y at - it a script when it is applied to the virtual center would show the virtual machines that are running on a local storage of an esx host.  We have about 40 esx running on virtual Center host and there are some VM running on local storage that we have to go offshore, but I need a list of these virtual machines.

  If it helps the naming convention for the local storage data store is "exhostname_local".  This is the norm for all hosts.

  Any Advisor.

  It must be Friday

  Try it like this

  Get-Datastore local* | where {$_.ExtensionData.Host.Count -eq 1} | Get-VM -Location $_ | Select Name
  

• ESXi 4.1 upgrade to ESXi 5.5 while all virtual machines and data warehouses

  We have two servers ESXi 4.1.0 348481 (Essentials) and we need to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 for support of Windows Server R2 2012. We intend to use the interactive upgrade. We want to ensure that the virtual machine is preserved. More precisely VMFarm001 where ESXi is installed in the same data store as VMServer1. VMServer1 is our largest server and cannot be migrated to another data store easily because we are not allowed for vMotion.

  The following layout

  VMFarm001

  Dell PowerEdge R710

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 1.36 TB

  VMServer1 - MS Server 2003

  Install ESXi

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer2 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer3 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMFarm002

  HP ProLiant ML350 G5

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 95GB

  Install ESXi

  ISOs

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer4 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer5 - MS Server 2008 R2

  I have a feeling I'm worried for nothing given that option during the ESXi upgrade and keep the VMFS datastore.

  Thank you

  Yes, that's correct.

  I recently finished the upgrade of lots of stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1 (with local storage only) to 5.1 and all were successful. The same process applies to 5.5, so you shouldn't have a problem with preservation of VMFS data warehouses (and all virtual machines).

• The list of all virtual machines with more than 2 virtual disks

  Hello.

  I want to list all virtual machines in a data center vCenter, who got more than 2 virtual disks. Here's the workflow, I am working on that:

  1 get the view of data center

  2. get the Cluster Data Center view like the 'begine_entity '.

  3. for each view cluster overview the VirtualMachine bit cluster seen as 'begin_entity '.

  4. for each VM view, this information: VirtualMachine-> config-> hardware-> device of

  Above information is a table.

  I need help in order to extract information from this table disk, then run an if condition where the VM who got more than 2 discs should print.

  Could help you. I wrote the script to the point 4. just need advice for the posterior.

  Thank you.

  You can try one of the following values-

  1 If ($vm-> {'summary.config.numVirtualDisks'} > 2) {...}

  2 $diskCnt = grep {$_-> isa ('VirtualDisk')} @{$vm-> {'config.hardware.device'}};

  The above assumes that you've got your $vm with a filter property as follows:

  $vms = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine'), the properties-online ['summary.config.numVirtualDisks', 'name', 'config.hardware.device'];

  my $vm foreach (@{$vms}) {}

  ...

  }

• The list of all virtual machines to a host group in Virtual Machine port group

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I would like to create a powershell script to list all my virtual machines to a host, but a group of Machine virtual PortGroup... It is possible...? I see only found Internet see the VirtualPortGroup of the host...

  Thanks in advance & looks

  All your VMS have a mapping single portgroup or it not with multiple NICs on different port groups?

  If they are all the same, then the following should work:

  Get-VM | Select Host, Name, @{N="PortGroup";E={$_.NetworkAdapters[0].NetworkName}} | Sort PortGroup, Name, Host

• The list of all virtual machines in a Datacenter

  Hello

  I have several data centers in the vCetner and I want to list virtual machines in a perticular Datacenter. Here is the script I wrote. Apologies, I am an amateur and my script is a mess;

  #! / usr/bin/perl - w
  use strict;
  Use Data::Dumper;
  use VMware::VIRuntime;
  My % opts =)
  Data Center = > {}
  Type = > "s =",
  help = > 'enter the name of the data center. "
  required = > 1,
  }
  );
  OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);
  OPTS::parse();
  OPTS::Validate();
  Util::Connect();
  my $dc = Opts::get_option ('Center');
  My $dc_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'Data center',)
  filter = > {name = > $dc});
  foreach (@$dc_views)
  {
  My $funky = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_-> vmFolder);
  My $funky2 = $funky-> childEntity;
  My $funky3 = Vim::get_views (mo_ref_array = > $funky2);
  foreach (@$funky3) {print $_-> name.} "\n"; }
  }

  When I run above to put it just said 'Discovered virtual machine:

  #perl test.pl - Server < what > - username < whatever - > password < what > - datacenter DC01_ESXi5

  Virtual machine discovery
  It would be great if someone could explain to me where I'm wrong. I don't want a script that I would like to get the desired result, indeed, I want to know where I am going wrong in above script. I find it extremely difficult to understand the structure of data API vSphere. Programming Perl is not the issue here.
  Thnaks.

  There is a somewhat easier way that browsing the inventory tree.

  If you just want to entities in a data center, you can use begin_entity in your find_entity_view* calls.

  #! / usr/bin/perl - w

  use strict;

  Use Data::Dumper;

  use VMware::VIRuntime;

  My % opts =)

  Data Center-Online {}

  type-online "s =",

  help-online "Please enter the name of the data center."

  necessary,-online 1

  }

  );

  OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  my $dc = Opts::get_option ('Center');

  My $dc_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "Data center"

  filter-online {name-online $dc},

  Properties-online ['name']);

  Don't Die "No data center named"$dc"found!" unless $dc_view;

  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine', begin_entity-online $dc_view).

  foreach my {$vm (@$vm_views)}

• The list of all virtual machines by Datastore

  Hello

  At some point LucD posted the following answer in another thread http://communities.vmware.com/thread/293395

  Get-Datacenter | Get-VM | %{$vm = $_Get-Datastore -VM $vm | %{$vm.Name + "-" + $_.Name} } | ft -AutoSize

  But on my end, I can't do this job, I get the following error:

  You must provide an expression of value on the side right of the '-' operator.

• walk through all the virtual machines and to show whether or not advanced setting is present

  Hello

  I want to get a list of all virtual machines that shows configuration options and it is value. AND if there is a virtual machine without that I'd like to see these too the configuration.

  Get-VM-name * | Get-AdvancedSetting | where {$_.} Name - eq "monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC"} |  Select the entity, Name, Value

  The one-liner above works fairly well, but only shows machines that have this configuration in the vmx file. But I miss not configured virtual machines.

  How do I get them in the list too?

  Regards Wolfgang

  Omit the Where clause, something like this

  Get - VM |

  Select Name,

  @{N = 'monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC'; E = {}

  Get-AdvancedSetting - entity $_ - name monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC | Select value - ExpandProperty}}

• List virtual machines and their data warehouses

  I took a dagger to the list of all virtual machines in my VC with data warehouses where their VMDK:

  $report = @)

  $allvms = Get-VM

  {foreach ($vm to $allvms)

  $row = "" | Select VMNAME, DATASTORE

  $row. VMNAME = $vm.name

  {color: #ff0000} $row. DATA store = (Get - VM | get-data store)

  $report += $row

  }

  $report | Export-Csv "C:\vm_ds.csv" -NoTypeInformation

  No luck. I know that the problem is with the cndlet of get-data store, the file indicates the VMNAME column filled with virtual machines, as expected, but the column of report DATA store System.Object [].

  Any help would be appreciated.

  You are already in a loop through all the guests (the loop foreach in line 3), there is no need to get all customers with the cmdlet Get - VM (again) in the 6th line.

  You can just pass (i $vm) invites him to the cmdlet Get-data store on line

  System.Object [] entry in the CSV file is caused by the fact that the Export-CSV cmdlet does not know how to handle objects or arrays of objects.

  One solution is to loop through all the data store names that are returned.

  And keep the data store name in the property of the DATA store.

  The result is that there will be several rows in the CSV file to people with more than 1 data store.

  $report = @()
  
  $allvms = Get-VM
  foreach ($vm in $allvms) {
       $dstores = $vm | Get-Datastore
       foreach($ds in $dstores){
            $row = "" | select VMNAME, DATASTORE
            $row.VMNAME = $vm.name
            $row.DATASTORE = $ds.Name
            $report += $row
       }
  }

• list of all the vm and what host they belong to

  Hi, I'm new to powercli & just had a (probably really simple) question.

  When I do something like:

  Get-vmhost-name "hostname" | Get - vm

  I get all the VMs on that host, but I only get powerstate, name, num cpu and memory. But if I again through "export-csv" pipes, I get tons more of information. How can I get this info on the command line itself, or better still to filter the columns that I want to see when the piping to the csv format?

  My goal was actually to get a list of all vm AND host it that belonged to, using the command get - vm, but I couldn't very well to show me was the information I'm looking for.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello, lm31-

  There are several ways you could get the data properties.  You can "select" properties of the object using the Select-Object cmdlet.  So if you want to get a virtual machine and return some properties of choice, you might do something like:

  PS C:\> Get-VM myVM | Select-Object Name,Folder,ProvisionedSpaceGB,NumCpu,MemoryMB
  
  Name               : myVM
  Folder             : testVMs
  ProvisionedSpaceGB : 41.01
  NumCpu             : 1
  MemoryMB           : 2048
  

  A simple example of something that would work for your scenario to get all virtual machines and displaying the name of the host on which they are running:

  PS C:\> Get-VM | Select-Object Name,VMHost
  
  Name          VMHost
  ----          ------
  myVM          ourHost0
  myVM1         ourHost1
  ...
  

  Once you get a little more complicated reporting, you will definitely want to use the cmdlet Get-View, for reasons of speed of the script, but for this example, the foregoing will do ok.

• Setting Options such as Hotplug for all virtual machines

  Hello!

  I have about 5 esxi hosts 5 and about 50 virtual machines

  Unfortunately I forgot to select some options like activate the plug-in memory and cpu hot

  I have 2 questions

  1 can I do this without turning off the machine

  2. How do I make a few options like this (or for example another option as vmtools update during the feeding cycle) for all virtual machines in my environment

  It's too much time to go to all virtual machines and turn them off and turn on these options

  Thank you very much

  These features must be enabled before the virtual machine is running.  So, you will need to turn them off and then use something like powercli to enable the features and turn them back on.

  Here is an example on how to do it with powercli: http://ict-freak.nl/2009/10/05/powercli-enabledisable-the-vm-hot-add-features/
