• Trying to type of SCSI controller with guest operating system list

  I'm trying to shoot a list using PowerCLI of each virtual machine, each SCSI controller and the operating system, it runs. I'm able to pull data very well, but the problem that I am running attempts to export it with anything (html, csv, xml). Here is my script up to now:

  $vm = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-property @("nom", "Config.Hardware.Device", "Guest.GuestFullName") | Select-Object - property name, @{N = "SCSI controller"; E={($_. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - match "SCSI"}). DeviceInfo.Summary}}, @{N = 'Running OS'; E={$_. Guest.GuestFullName}} | Format-Table - Autosize-Wrap

  The problem that I am running is when I try to make:

  $vm | convetto-html

  It exports which seems to be a GUID ID, but not the actual data. If I echo the variable $vm, I see the data I expect to formatted as I want to, I can't go out only in a format outside of the console. I also tried another method

  $vms = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-property @("nom", "Config.Hardware.Device", "Guest.GuestFullName")
  $result = @)
  foreach ($vm to $vms)
  {
  $newrow = "" | Select-object Name, controller, OS
  $newrow.name = $vm.name
  $newrow.controller = $vm | Select-Object - property ($_.) Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - match "SCSI"}). DeviceInfo.Summary
  $newrow.os = $vm | Select-Object - property $____. Guest.GuestFullName
  $result += $newrow
  }

  It lists the name of the virtual machine, but the other two columns show VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine. Probably missing me something simple here, but I can't understand it. What Miss me?

  Thank you for your help in advance.

  Try this:

  $vms = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property @("Name", "Config.Hardware.Device", "Guest.GuestFullName")
  $result = @()
  foreach($vm in $vms)
  {
      $newrow = "" | select-object Name, Controller, OS
      $newrow.name = $vm.name
      $newrow.controller = ($vm.Config.Hardware.Device | where{$_.DeviceInfo.Label -match "SCSI"}).DeviceInfo.Summary
      $newrow.os = $vm.Guest.GuestFullName
      $result += $newrow
  }
  

• Type of SCSI controller and the driver for Win XP Pro

  Can anyone tell me please what SCSI type should I use for Windows XP Pro? Any SCSI controller I use, VSphere, ensures an error telling me that Win XP does not support the driver that uses VMware ESX to SCSI virtual devices - but it works very well.

  Any help is appreciated. TY

  This is the document that I always follow when creating XP workstations,

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/XP_guide_vdi.PDF

  Note that you need the new version of the driver for new service packs.

  That said, like André request can you put a picture of your error.

  As a result, I'm moving this post to the guest OS of the forums section.

• Change the type of scsi controller / windows7Server64Guest and LSI Logic SAS

  Hello

  I would like the parallel to sas LSI Logic scsi LSI logic controller type.

  the reason is this colleague has created an image of windows 2008 R2 and I want to install the machine in script.

  He used LSI Logic SAS.

  When I used PowerCLi for create a new virtual machine with the existing drive, he created with the LSI Logic parallel...

  (of course I change it manually, but I would like to completely automate the installation)

  could someone help me on this?

  Thank you very much in advance

  Fred

  Have you ever watched the SCSI adapater to paravirtual with PowerCLI change ?

  Instead of the VMware.Vim.ParaVirtualSCSIController you select the VMware.Vim.VirtualLsiLogicSASController object.

  Let me know that make you it work if I can post a sample.

• Blue screen after conversion to type from SCSI to IDE controller

  Hello

  No idea how to convert IDE controller SCSI controller in Windows xp (32-bit) OS?

  This virtual machine has a single main drive.

  I followed this article, but it leads to the blue screen error

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016192

  Even I tried with free, but nothing works.

  No idea how to solve the problem or how to convert the type of IDE controller type of SCSI controller without error on blue screen?

  Now you can do it.

  The important thing is your scsi boot disk should be scsi 0000 - this way the second disc 0001 - otherwise she would try to boot from your empty disk.

  After that, you can of course remove the extra drive.

• Help pass the hard drives of a scsi controller to another scsi controller!

  Hello

  I deployed a cluster of virtual machines from a template and trying to customize them according to the requirement. I called one of the post and used the code below. Changed the settings of the virtual machines, but the image is corrupt all the time.

  # get the virtual computer object

  $vmVMSTORE23 = get - VM VMSTORE23

  # a thin in the storageformat of hard disk

  $vmVMSTORE23 | Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - thin StorageFormat

  # define the type of SCSI controller

  $vmVMSTORE23 | Get-SCSI controller. Set controller SCSI-type VirtualLsiLogicSAS

  I tried the other way, adding a new scsi controller and move the existing hard disks to the new controller scsi. A hard disk created along deployment of a model does not again move scsi controller and vm tries to start node scsi 1:0 and no node scsi 0:1. This is the snap of code I used

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} Name - CapacityGB 1 - Datastore (Get-Datastore $_.) (Magasin de données)-persistence IndependentNonPersistent-confirm: $false} (disc 2)

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} {Name - DiskType $_.rawtype - Devicename $_ .rdm1 - confirm: $false} (Disc 3)

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-disk-hard - VM $_.} {Name - DiskType $_.rawtype - Devicename $_ .rdm2 - confirm: $false} (drive 4)

  $disk = $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {Get-disk hard - VM $_.} Name | Select the option - 4 first}

  $VirtualMachinesDetails | % {New-SCSI - HDD controller $disk - type $_.} Type}

  Someone please help me with this.

  Thanks in advance

  What I wanted to say, create a new hard drive with the new type of controller.

  Like this

  $vmName = "TestVM"$VM = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  
  New-HardDisk -VM $vm -CapacityGB 1 -ThinProvisioned | New-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
  

  Then restart the virtual machine and the guest operating system must take care of the driver.

  Once the driver is installed in the guest operating system, you can move the hard disk that contains the system partition to the new controller.

  $vmName = "TestVM"$VM = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  
  $controller = Get-ScsiController -Name "SCSI Controller 1" -VM $vmyGet-HardDisk -VM $VM -Name "Hard disk 1" | Set-HardDisk -Controller $controller -Confirm:$false
  

• Script to list all the VMS and their scsi controller

  Hey guys,.

  New to scripting and my boss is looking for me to get a list of all the vm in our environment and the type of scsi controller they have. It seeks to go to paravirtual controller and need to know what vm, he needs to hit. I saw there is a script to change the paravirtual but he won't do it again, just the list including vm has what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• Remove the SCSI controller change question of VMWare

  Hello

  I used PowerCLI for create a virtual machine and replace it with instead of buslogic SCSI LSILogic controller. I did it by using the following code:

  function updateSCSIController ($vmName, $ctrlName)

  {

  $vm = get - VM $vmName | Get-View

  1. Get the controller and devices on

  $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - eq $ctrlName} | % {

  $oldCtrl = $_

  $ctrlKey = $_. Key

  $devs = @)

  $_. Device | % {

  $devKey = $_

  $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.} Key - eq $devKey} | % {

  $devs += $_

  }

  }

  }

  1. Create the specification for the device changes

  $bootDelay = 10000

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $spec. BootOptions = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptions

  $spec. BootOptions.BootDelay = $bootDelay

  1. Remove the old controller

  $old = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec

  $old.device = $oldCtrl

  $old.operation = 'delete '.

  $spec. DeviceChange += $old

  1. Update the devices connected to the controller

  $devs | % {

  $dev = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec

  $dev.device = $_

  $dev.device.ControllerKey = - 100

  $dev.operation = "Edit."

  $spec. DeviceChange += $dev

  }

  1. Add the new controller

  $new = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec

  $new. Device = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualLsiLogicController

  $new. Device.Key = - 100

  $new. Device.ControllerKey = $oldCtrl.ControllerKey

  $new. Device.UnitNumber = $oldCtrl.UnitNumber

  $new.operation = 'Add '.

  $spec. DeviceChange += $new

  $vm. ReconfigVM ($spec)

  }

  However when I try to start the virtual machine Via code, it gives me an error saying that the virtual machine has questions to be decided.

  This is the question asked by VMWare:

  sg.disk.AdapterMismatch: the disk attached to the node SCSI0:0 has been created for the Buslogic SCSI adapter but SCSI0 Virtual Machine device is a SCSI LSI Logic card.

  VMware ESX Server can change the free disc adapter type. Attention of the user, if a guest operating system is installed on the drive, it is perhaps not able to start.

  Do you think Vmware ESX Server to change the type of adapter for SCSI0:0 disk

  This issue can be removed through PowerCLI?

  This is the part of code that fails

  updateSCSIController - vmName $name - ctrlName "SCSI controller 0.

  Start-VM - $vm VM - confirm: $false

  $vm | Get-CDDrive. Game-CDDrive-connected: $true - confirm: $false

  I don't know if you can remove the question, but you can respond with the Set-VMQuestion cmdlet.

• SCSI controller set do not change type

  Hello

  I have run this command, but for some strange reason the type set-change SCSI controller does not work

  $scsiController = Get - hard drive -VM 'vm001' | Select -First 1 | Get - SCSI controller

  SCSI controller set

  SCSI - controller $scsiController -Type ParaVirtual -BusSharingMode NoSharing -confirm:$false

  This gives me a

  WARNING: Changing the type of the virtual machine boot disk controller prevents the VM to start properly.

  However, the order is processed I can see re-configuration of the VM, but when I check the type of controller it is always set to its default value VirtualLsiLogicSAS

  No idea why?

  Hi new fxpro,

  See the workaround for the problem proposed here: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1703596#1703596

  Given that the operation is valid until the vSphere Client, using New-controller SCSI should help in your case.

• cmdlet for hardware device SCSI controller

  I want to create a list of buslogic machine and the machine of lsi logic.

  What is the cmdlet for reading my (buslogic or lsi logic) the virtual machine scsi controller? Is there a command/object for this applet?

  I can't find anything on its with get-help: S

  You're right, in the current building no cmdlet is direct to get the type of controller.

  Take a look to find the type of controller SCSI of all virtual machines to a script that does what you want to do.

  The problem is take a look in the hardware section that I can't find the SCSI controller...

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  Adding a type SCSI drive will add the SCSI controller for you.

  I don't think that you can add only a SCSI controller without any disk to it.

  Try to only add a SCSI (buslogic, free, lsilogicsas, VIrtualSCSI) disc that will add a SCSI controller for you.

          any name
         
          any id

• Windows 2 k 3 lack of SCSI controller after running virtual machine converter

  Hello

  After you convert a Windows 2 k 3 server making the VM P2V is now lack a SCSI controller for the virtual machine cannot start.

  What is the best way to solve this problem? I need to copy the drivers from the physical server?

  Thanks in advance,

  PM

  If the disk controller type see you in the settings of the virtual machine is IDE, check out http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1016192.

  Another option is to choose the type of controller in the converter, when it comes to hardware.

• Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F SCSI CdRom Device) because the driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  Original title: the answer useful?

  Help, please! Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40F SCSI CdRom Device) because the driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  Hello

  Code 39 means that the driver is corrupted or missing.

  Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
  the question.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
  Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
  This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
  slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  --------------------------------------------------------------

  Also check with your system manufacturer to see if there are any updated drivers for your DVD. Or even if it
  are you can reinstall the 'old'. Many use Windows default drivers however some special aura
  ones. Also check the website of the manufacturer of the car.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• Get the PCI slot for a virtual SCSI controller number?

  Is it possible to retrieve the number of a virtual SCSI controller for PowerCLI PCI slot?  I dug everywhere but I can't find anywhere in ExtensionData SCSI controllers and hard disks.

  I would like to use to correlate VMDK disks Windows because all the scripts I found goes off a hypothesis on how devices assigned one PCI slots, and in my conclusions, these assumptions are not 100% reliable.

  I checked the properties of both of these items with no luck:

  $VirtualSCSIAdapters = $VMView.Config.Hardware.Device | Where-Object {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - match "SCSI controller"}

  $VirtualDiskDevices = $VMView.Config.Hardware.Device | Where-Object {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - match 'Hard drive'}

  I know that at the very least, the slot is stored in the vmx file.  In the worst scenarios, it is possible to collect data of vmx?

  It is get you what you need?

  $vm = get - vm 'test '.

  $vm. ExtensionData.Config.ExtraConfig | where {$_.} Key - eq "scsi0.pciSlotNumber"}

• Why do not the remove-hard drive remove a disc with a new SCSI controller?

  Hi PowerCLI gurus,

  I try to use PowerCLI to automate the solution for article configuration of disks to use VMware Paravirtual (PVSCSI) SCSI adapters (1010398).

  Remove-hard drive sometimes gives me a misleading error when I use it to remove a hard drive with a new SCSI controller.

  The FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  Can anyone here explain the error?

  My version of vCenter server is 5.1.0.

  My PowerCLI version is 2.0.

  Here's what I've done to reproduce the error.

  First of all, I connect to vCenter and stop the virtual machine.

  $TestVM = 'TESTVM '.

  $TestServer = ' vcenter - test.local ".

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $TestServer

  Stop-VM - $TestVM VM - confirm: $false

  I add a new hard drive and store it in a variable so I can refer to it for the next steps.

  New hard drive '.

  -VM $TestVM '

  -Persistent persistence"

  -Flat DiskType '

  CapacityKB - 1024'

  StorageFormat - thin '

  -OutVariable TempDisk

  I make a note of its name.

  $TempDisk.Name

  Because my VM already has 2 discs, the output is "hard drive 3.

  Then I add a new SCSI controller on the hard drive.

  New SCSI controller.

  Hard drive - $TempDisk '

  -Type ParaVirtual '

  NoSharing - BusSharingMode

  Now, I try to remove the hard drive from the variable to remove the disc.

  Remove-hard drive - hard drive $TempDisk - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  It fails with an error that says "Hard drive 3" has already been removed.

  Remove HDD: 12/02/2014-18:51:33 remove-hard drive the FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  On line: 1 char: 1

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_VirtualDeviceServiceImpl_TryValidateDeviceExists_DeviceDoesNotExist, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.RemoveHardDisk

  But I see that there are still "hard drive 3"!

  Get-disk hard - VM $TestVM - name 'hard drive 3.

  CapacityGB persistence Filename

  ----------      -----------                                    --------

  0.001 persist... B-DATA-01] TESTVM/TESTVM_9.vmdk

  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

  I don't think that the cmdlet uses actually the UID, but more likely a MoRef to the vSphere object that represents the hard disk.

  Remember that under the covers most of the PowerCLI cmdlets do calls to the vSphere API.

  Change the Uid, property value indicates that the hard drive connected to the new controller is a new and different purpose.

  And this explains why the hard drive remove does not work with the original hard disk object, it no longer exists.
