• Get the list of virtual machines, storage of data and VMDK / path by cluster

  Hi people,

  as I m new to such things, I m wondering if someone already has a few scripts work to gather a list of all virtual machines, its corresponding data store (s) and the path to the files VMDK (or at least the name of it) - I know that this part has already been resolved - found a couple of them ;-)

  But my problem is, I need this script drilled down by Cluster Edition or Datacenter Edition. As I said I m completely new for this CLI stuff and Don t have any idea how to solve this problem...

  See you soon

  Luke, you are right. I should have tested.

  There is a downside to the ForEach command that I almost never use. Normally I use the Foreach-Object cmdlet and that works very well with pipeing the output to Export-CSV.

  Markus, you must use option 2 in this case.

• Get the list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and dumping of .csv in a specific format

  I have problems to find a way to get a list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and then he dumped to a .csv in the following format

  I use the get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm

  but everyhting else after, it is where I am lost...  I think the closest I had been posting the output with a goofy header and format 'vm1, vm2, vm3 "...

  name

  computer 1 name

  computer 2 name

  name of the machine 3

  to use for later use.  Any help would be appreciated.

  You must use the Select-Object cmdlet to specify more precisely the properties you want.

  The Export-Csv doesn't know how to manage the virtual computer object.

  Something like that

  Get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm | Select name. Export Csv.\report.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

• Get the list of virtual machine names and addresses IP to a specific folder

  I am trying to get a list of virtual machine names and the IP addresses of a specific folder in vCenter. The problem is that there are several files with the same name in different folders. I need to know how to specify the level folder higher in which lies the customer10 folder. Here is an example of my current script that pulls all the info from the virtual machine of all folders named customer10:

  Get-vm-location customer10 | Select Address Name,@{N="IP." E = {@($_.guest.) (IPAddress[0])}} |
  out-file c:\VM_IP_Addresses.csv

  The PowerSHell engine is to 'know' the function before you call it.

  Save the function in a .ps1 file.

  Point source then this .ps1 file. Make sure that you are placed in the directory where the .ps1 is stored, or use the full path

  PowerCLI C:\ >. ./GetFolderByPath.ps1

  Note that there is an empty space between the 2 points!

  Now you can call the function

  PowerCLI C:\ > Get-FolderByPath-path MYDC/myFolder. Get - VM | Select the name...

• List of virtual machines with static IP

  VMware gurus,

  I'm trying to generate a list of virtual machines that are configured with static IP address.

  IPPolicy: static

  I need a script that returns the name of the virtual machine that has static to IPpolicy.

  Jadapa RHCE, MCSA

  http://linuxgurus.WordPress.com

  You can create a list of virtual machines with static IP addresses with the following script PowerCLI:

  Get-VM | `
    Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface -GuestUser User -GuestPassword Password -HostUser User -HostPassword Password | `
    Select-Object -property VM,IPPolicy | `
    Where-Object {$_.IPPolicy -eq "Static"}

• List of virtual machines with Mac static

  I was trying to find a way to list virtual machines with static Mac with their mac assigned.  Exploring the virtualmachine view I have found the where it is said to be static, but have not been able to find a way to filter, it.  Is it possible to do this with powercli?

• Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

  I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.

  The immediate question is the specs for the game ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " Originally from the "Performance Difference between GET - VM and GET-VIEW")

  http://www.batchworks.de/performance-difference-between-get-VM-and-get-view/ ).

  $ClusterFilter = Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource -Property Name -Filter @{“Name” = $ClusterName } | select -ExpandProperty MoRef

  $VirtualMachines = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Config -SearchRoot $ClusterFilter

  
  The biggest problem for me is to understand for Get-View filter. I was capable of a bit of insight to gleen from the URL below, but I think what Miss me is the reference (Microsoft) for what is happening to the right of the equal sign. What is the correct terminology for this type of query expression / where the syntax is 'left' = 'straight' and keywords such as "-match" are not allowed.

  http://purple-screen.com/?Cat=3

  VMware vSphere 5.1

  http://Wannemacher.us/?p=259

  Regular expressions with Windows PowerShell

  Right in the filter expression is an RegEx expression, please allow for characters before and after the word Linux.

  And the name of the OS is Config.GuestFullName.

  I corrected the entries more early as well.

  $ClusterName = "^MyCluster$"$ClusterFilter = get-view -ViewType ClusterComputeResource -Property Name -Filter @{"Name" = $ClusterName } | select -ExpandProperty MoRefWrite-Host $ClusterFilter
  
  $VirtualMachinesNoFilter   = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config -SearchRoot $ClusterFilter $VirtualMachinesWithFilter = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config -SearchRoot $ClusterFilter -Filter @{"Config.GuestFullName"=".*Linux.*"}
  

• Get the list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific AND of a specific folder...

  I'm trying to get a list of the virtual machines running on an ESX host specific, but also are located in a specific folder.

  I think it must be something like that below, but for now without success:

  Get-vmhost $esx_hostname | Get-vm-location (get-record $folder_name( )
  giving the error message: Get - VM: the input object cannot be bound to all the settings for the command EIThim because
  the command does not pipeline or entry and its own input stakeholders do not match any parameters that accept entries of pipeline of.
  Any thoughts?
  Thank you!

  VMHost and folder use the Get-VM-setting position. You must select either using the Where-Object cmdlet filter. For example:

  Get-VMHost $esx_hostname |
  Get-VM |
  Where-Object {$_.Folder.Name -eq $folder_name}
  

• List of virtual machines with Firmware Boot set to EFI

  Unfortunately today we met the problem described in this KB.

  VMware KB: Start the virtual machine from Windows using EMC XtremIO storage EFI fails with the error: System startup are not v...

  I was wondering if anyone had a script that could go out and find all the virtual machines in our environment have the value EFI firmware boot option.

  Thank you

  Jordan

  You can do the following to list used by VM boot firmware

  Get - VM | Select Name,@{N='BootFirmware'; E={$_. ExtensionData.Config.Firmware}}

  Or to not see that those who use EFI, you could do

  Get - VM | where {$_.} ExtensionData.Config.Firmware - eq "efi"} | Select name

• Script to the list of virtual machines with their VMDK on warehouses of data with their LUN ID.

  Hey gang - I have one here, I wonder if anyone has some ideas...

  Our storage team is looking for a report that can be generated to display each VM, each VMDK for this virtual machine and the data store on the VMDK is the canonical name of the data store - and throw in a delimited file of semicolon for their own transformation...

  I have thousands of VMS over hundreds of hosts and data warehouses and also have a handful of RDM. so, I'm looking for the most effective way to go about it.

  Should look like this:

  VMName; VMDKName, the data store; MONDAY

  somevm; somevm.vmdk; DATASTORE1; NAA.60050723145982asd29823blahblah1

  somevm; somevm_1.vmdk; DATASTORE2; NAA.60050723145982asd29823blahblah2

  Any ideas?

  The following PowerCLI script will give you the report requested on the virtual machines and their VMDK files. It also takes account of the fact that a data store can have several extensions:

  Get-VM |
  Get-HardDisk |
  Select-Object -Property @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent}},
  @{N="VMDK";E={$_.FileName.Split('/')[1]}},
  @{N="Datastore";E={$_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')}},
  @{N="LunID";E={[string]::Join(',',((Get-Datastore $_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')).Extensiondata.Info.Vmfs.Extent |
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty DiskName))}}
  

• Create multiple virtual machines with 2 network cards

  Hey guys -.

  Been researching some scripts of difference but did not find one who will help me in my situation.

  I'm looking for a script that will allow me to clone model and apply network settings to 2 network cards.

  1 clone Vms + 20 model

  2 Let me send it to a particular lun (using a few LUNS to available)

  3. choose a custom unique specification

  4. apply intellectual property on 2 NICs (primary and backup).

  Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

  Thank you

  Sorry to lose this thread out of my sight.

  What follows is an attempt to meet all the conditions you listed.

  $numberOfVM = 20$baseVMName = "VM"$templateName = "Template"$osCustName = "MyCust"$IPBase1 = "192.168.1."$IPBase2 = "192.168.2."$IPMask = "255.255.255.0"$IPGate1 = "192.168.1.254"$IPGate2 = "192.168.2.254"$IPDns1 = "192.168.1.100"$IPDns2 = "192.168.2.100"
  
  # Target resourcepool$resPool = Get-ResourcePool -Name Resources
  
  # Get the template$template = Get-Template -Name $templateName
  
  # Create a copy of the OS Customisation SpecTry {    Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name tempOSCust |    Remove-OSCustomizationSpec -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction Stop}Catch {}
  
  $osCust = Get-OSCustomizationSpec -Name $osCustName |     New-OSCustomizationSpec -Name tempOSCust -Type NonPersistent
  
  # Clone the number of requested VM1..$numberOfVm | %{    # Find the datastore with the most free space    $ds = Get-Datastore | Sort-Object -Property FreeSpaceGB -Descending |        Select -First 1
  
      # Update the OS Customisation Spec NIC parts with the IP addresses    Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust |    Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -Position 1 -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress "$IPBase1$_" `        -SubnetMask $IPMask -DefaultGateway $IPGate1 -Dns $IPDns1 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
  
      Get-OSCustomizationNicMapping -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust |    Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping -Position 2 -IpMode UseStaticIP -IpAddress "$IPBase2$_" `        -SubnetMask $IPMask -DefaultGateway $IPGate2 -Dns $IPDns2 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Out-Null
  
      # Create the new VM    New-VM -Name "$baseVMName$_" -Template $template -OSCustomizationSpec $osCust `        -Datastore $ds -ResourcePool $resPool  | Out-Null}
  

  The script will create clones of $numberOfVM of the model. The virtual machines will be created at the root of the bunch, and they will be called VM1, VM2...

  The OSCustomizationSpec needs to exist and must have 2 network cards.

  The script finds the data store with more free space to create each virtual computer.

  Addresses IP of NIC are consecutive, for example on NIC1 you get 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2... and so on.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

• Report by the virtual machine with tools obsolete and/or material email

  Hi all

  The subject of this thread pretty much says all this, but just to remind I want to generate a report of computer virtual tools with just e-mail and or equipment outdated, I have searched around a bit but don't seem to find all the vm where I try to exclude the VMs to date of this report, also I prefer in a format of e-mail if possible. I'd appreciate any help or links to help meet this goal.

  Yes, that's what makes the - or in the condition of the Where clause.

  If one of the two conditions is not met, the virtual machine will be in the report.

• Check if a virtual machine has connected network and connect if it isn't?

  Thus, creating a big deployment VM automation workflow, I need a way to check and make sure that the deployed virtual computer has its connected network. However, I can't seem to find a way to generate scripts which correctly. Any ideas?

  Hello

  There are different strategies. Look at the 'vim3waitDNSNameInTools' action, it waits until the virtual machine arrives with a given host name. Which ensures that this customization is done completely.

  Alternatively you can ping the virtual computer by using the System.isHostReachable () method, find an example here: Ping on the workflow server

  (I remember there were some problems with this method in previous versions, be sure to properly test ;-))

  Another strategy might be to use the operations of comments and call a ping of in the guest operating system (with which you shall vro network connection to the virtual machine itself, you can for example leave the guest operating system ping the address of the gateway or so)

  Kind regards
