• Help with the cmdlet "get-floppydrive.

  Hey all

  Need help please? I'm trying to create a little script to check if a virtual machine has a floppy drive. I had a quick glance at the cmdlet GET-floppydrive and pretty much know how to check the configuration to a floppy disk "connected" (i.e. of connection state to connect to poweron e.t.c). I want to know is how an abouts to go check if a floppy drive is period

  I thought it might be something like that, but I think that its probably wrong.

  $vm = get - vm server1

  If ($vm.floppydrives - eq $True) {}

  Write to $vm.name

  }

  Any ideas?

  Munster

  You were near.

  $vm = get-vm server1
  
  if ($vm.floppydrives){
  Write $vm.name
  }
  

  You actually test it this way, what if $vm.floppydrivers is equal to $null or not.

  If there is no floppy drives that the property will be $null and the test will evaluate to $false.

• Using the cmdlet Get-stats for the problems of performance of ESXi

  I need to detect the bottlenecks (if any) causing poor performance with a (free) 5.5 ESXi host.

  I see that if I use the cmdlet Get - stat PowerCLI I get dozens of meters, such as "mem.usage.average" or "'rescpu.maxlimited1.latest ', just to give two samples. "

  Can I identify a subset of the counters I should follow to identify possible bottlenecks in the fastest way possible?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Everything depends of course.

  There are several positions which list a number of key counters to watch.

• Question about the cmdlet Get-VIProperty (ideally oriented @ LucD)

  Hello everyone

  Sorry for the title of discussion, but once you read on you will understand where I come from.

  I am reorganizing ALL my scripts powercli, functions, advanced et al. to TRY to become more 'effective' (dare I say) in my script. So to start I thought useful the cmdlet "Get-VIProperty" has been and I wanted to use much more. Did some autour research and found a great download LucD had prepared on his blog of a variety of different VIProperties. Directed practice how they were immediately started to use what he blogged about his position.

  My question is this (and its powershell probably more than PowerCLI "maybe"): when I am trying to add in the VIProperties in my "profile (so they load into a starting window of console PS) I go in the following example:

  New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name _NumberOfVmotions-value {param ($cluster) $cluster. ExtensionData.Summary.NumVmotions} - Force

  It works when entered in a session of PS, however, when I load the following:

  New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster - value {$TotalPCPU = 0 $Args [0] |} Get-VMHost | foreach {$TotalPCPU += $_.} {NumCPU} $TotalPCPU}-Force

  However, when I load it as follows:

  New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster

  -Value {}

  $TotalPCPU = 0

  $Args [0] | Get-VMHost | {foreach}

  $TotalPCPU += $_. NumCPU

  }

  $TotalPCPU

  } - Force

  THIS WORKS.

  I know this may sound pedantic, but I would like to organize my viproperties like below, so they are a little more clear on the page. That is why the requirment to see if the above commands could be executed as 'one-liners ':

  # NumberOfHosts

  New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name ' _NumberOfHosts

  -The value {param ($cluster) @($cluster.) {Extensiondata.Host). County} - BasedOnExtensionProperty 'To host' - Force

  # NumberOfVMs

  New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name ' _NumberOfVMs

  -The value {param ($cluster)($cluster.)} Extensiondata.Host | % {Get-view $_} | Measure-object - InputObject {$_.} Vm.Count} - sum). Sum} '

  -BasedONextensionProperty 'host' - Force

  So if it's not possible it's fine - I just wanted to be able to confirm, it's all.

  As usual, thank you very much in advance for help

  Concerning

  Munster99

  If you want to add two other PowerShell/PowerCLI commands on a single line, you must use the semicolon to separate them:

  New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster - value {$TotalPCPU = 0; $Args [0] |} Get-VMHost | foreach {$TotalPCPU += $_.} NumCPU}; $TotalPCPU} - force

• How do I see the full message with the command Get-VIEvent

  Hello list,

  I was trying to see the VIevents with the command get-vievent as below

  Get-VIEvent-type error - MaxSamples 20 | Format-Table Createduserid, FullFormattedMessage - autosize

  In this case, if it's a great message, the fullFormattedMessage displays incomplete messages (for example/error found on & lt;) ESX IP & gt; in & lt; Centre for data & gt ;...) ... what should I wear to display the full message with the command Get-VIevent?

  Thank you

  Krishnaprsad

  This is the Format-Table cmdlet, which shows only a part of the message.

  If you want to see the full message, you could do

  Get-VIEvent -Type Error -MaxSamples 20 | %{Write-Host $_.CreatedTime $_.FullFormattedMessage}
  

  The alternative is to adapt the formatting instructions in the VMware.VimAutomation.Format.ps1xml file.

  But that could impact other cmdlets and is a bit more complicated.

  HI all I would like to ask if you help me, I want to draw paths, but when I use options to mark with a pen or brush settings I lose quality when I Zoom, can someone help me with the settings for the pen?

  The work path is a vector and infinitely scalable, but when caress you, Photoshop sets the pixels on a layer following the path.  These pixels are rasterized and based and cannot be resized without loss of quality.  You have options.  If you want to enlarge the raster layer, transform the work path and stroking again.  Or work at a resolution higher, in the first place.

  Either incidentally, you can't trace a path with the pen, because it's a vector tool, and caressing is a matrix function based.

• Problem with the cmdlet Remove-Snapshot

  Hello everyone,

  I have a problem with the cmdlet Remove-Snapshot: it fails to remove the snapshot when I made a copy of file (Copy-Item) between calls to New-Snapshot and Remove-Snapshot if (and only if) I put - confirm option to $false. If - confirm is $true everything works, but it does not allow me to run the non-interactive script. The error that is returned is "vim.fault.InvalidVmConfig".

  Anyone know if there is a problem on my side, on the side of ESX Server or a bug in the VI Toolkit? Any possible workaround?

  I have attached the PowerShell script, I used to reproduce the error and the script log file that contains the error message.

  The versions I used are:

  VMware.Vim.dll (1.5.0.1299, "VI API 1.5.0 build.Net 142961")

  VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 110271

  I'm not able to reproduce this on my environment but I am sure that the issue is not with the - confirm: $false parameter. After you copy the file there is a timeout that is set to 10 seconds. Can you increase it (even if I do not at all see a reason of this time-out) and see what happens?

• Help required with the viproperty cmdlet

  Hi all

  I have a question where I am trying to establish the disknames associated with a particular data store. I created a new viproperty and I found where the "diskname" object - that is, "extentiondata.info.vmfs.extent.diskname" is located.

  The problem is, where we have warehouses of data with more of a measure, it will not display anything. Therefore, I am trying to create a value of 'viproperty' which combines the disknames with the data store measure. I think it's just a matter of finding ways in addition to a value in the output console.

  Could someone please?

  Thanks in advance

  Munster

  The parameter Value can be a block of code.

  Something like that

  New-VIProperty -ObjectType Datastore -Name _DSDiskNames_ -Value {
    param($ds)
  
    $disknames = $ds.ExtensionData.info.vmfs.extent | %{
      $_.DiskName  }
    [string]::Join(',',$disknames)
  } -Force | Out-Null
  Get-Datastore MyDS | Select Name,_DSDiskNames_
  

  There are some examples in VIProperties.

• Where the cmdlet "Get-USBController? (Even with Remove - and new-)

  The command ' get-usbdevice "(also" Remove-UsbDevice ") should recover USB devices that may be located on a virtual machine." " The problem is that cmdlt shows only USB devices, if a USB device is connected. It will not report anything if the virtual machine has added a USB device, but it is not currently connected to anything (IE just a USB controller).

  Now there are other ways that I can get if the VM has the unwanted material:

  $unwantedhw = “floppy|serial|usb”
  (Get-VM $VMname | Get-View).Config.Hardware.Device | Select -Expand DeviceInfo | Select Label, Summary | where {$_.Label –match $unwantedhw}
  

  I just thought that instead of having to go back to the shenanigans of get - view, I could do it directly with 1 command as the command "Get-UsbDevice" should do in my opinion. I was able to try to write my own function (IE Get USBController) for it and store it in my profile, but I don't have time on the atmosphere of the hand.

  Someone at - it else created this function or get updates for the PowerCLI to include in a newer version of the feature?

  Versions of PowerCLI:

  VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.0.1 build 581491

  VMware AutoDeploy PowerCLI component 5.0 build 544967
