Help with a one-liner

OK, just a bit of fun...

I want to get the path of the vmx and vmdk my VMs files in a spreadsheet, the following works somewhat, but it duplicates the vmxpath for each disc, I'm sure that this could also be done in a single line, but I can't quite reach, go Luke , you know you like a challenge!


Connect-VIServer MYVISERVER
$vms = Get-VM

$myCol = @()
foreach ($vm in $vms)
{
$MyDetails = "" | select-Object Name, VMXPath, Disks
$MyDetails.Name = $vm.Name
$MyDetails.VMXPath = ($vm | Get-View).Summary.Config.VMPathName
$MyDetails.Disks = $vm | Select -ExpandProperty HardDisks | Select Filename
$myCol += $MyDetails
}
$myCol | Select Name, VMXPath -ExpandProperty Disks

The following script is the solution, but I'm afraid that I can't ride in a single line

$list = @()
Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine | % {
     $row = New-Object psobject
     $row | Add-Member -MemberType noteproperty -Name Name -Value $_.Name
     $row | Add-Member -MemberType noteproperty -Name VMXPath -Value $_.config.files.vmpathname
     $row | Add-Member -MemberType noteproperty -Name NrDisk -Value $_.Layout.Disk.Count
     for($i = 0; $i -lt $_.Layout.Disk.Count; $i++){
          $row | Add-Member -MemberType noteproperty -Name Disk$i -Value ($_.Layout.Disk[$i].DiskFile[0])
     }
     $list += $row
}
$list | Sort-Object -Property NrDisk -Descending | select * -ExcludeProperty NrDisk | Export-Csv "C:\temp.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
Import-Csv "C:\temp.csv" -UseCulture | Sort-Object -Property Name | Export-Csv "C:\VMDK-report.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

There are a few things to fix:

(1) the number of disks is not always the same, so it is impossible to pre-define the properties beforehand.

==> This can be solved by adding properties with the Add-Member cmdlet

(2) the Export-Csv cmdlet apparently resembles the first row of the table to determine the number of columns in the CSV file.

==> This has been resolved by adding a temporary NrDisk property that contains the number of VMDK has a specific guest. The table can then be sorted in descending order on this property. This way the guest who has the largest number of disks will be on the first row of the table.

(3) we do not want to see additional property NrDisk in the CSV file

==> This has been resolved by using the parameter - Excludeproperty on the Select-Object cmdlet.

(4) the CSV file must of course be sorted on name of the guest.

==> This has been resolved by the first CSV of writing to a temporary file, read the CSV file (where now each row of the table has all the properties), sort the array and the array of writing the ultimate CSV

  • Need help with an order line shaped PowerCLI to follow development snapshots

    Hello

    I use Vshpere 5.1 and I need help to use PowerCLI out of information to audit some VM backups.

    My ultimate goal is to be able to verify which machines are being backed up.  Our backup tool uses instant VMware to run incremental backups so if we can follow what made instant due VM / deleted then we can better verify backups.

    I decided my inexperience with PowerCLI that it would be preferable for me to try a few small orders to see if I could get some decent results.

    The line of code I'm starting with is Get - VM * | Get-VIEvent - MaxSamples 20 | Where-Object {$_.} FullFormattedMessage - eq "task: Remove Instant"} ".

    Most of the time this script works however the output is interesting for me.

    Info: VMware.Vim.TaskInfo

    Key: 5360442

    Frankly, I was glad I was able to sign anything, but I'm confused as to why under "VM: 'told'"Vm: VMware.Vim.VmEventArgument"instead of the actual name of the VM."

    If I can find it to output the actual name of the Virtual Machine, so I can start to play with the formatting and obtained Export CSV files.  Any help you can offer would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    I suspect a calculated property might be the way to go.

    Something like that

    Get - VM * | Get-VIEvent - MaxSamples 20 | Where-Object {$_.} {FullFormattedMessage - eq ' task: Remove Instant "} |

    Select @{N = 'The virtual computer name'; E={$_. Vm.Name}}

    You can of course view other properties of events returned to the Select-Object cmdlet even.

  • Install the second HARD drive in my Inspiron 1720... : () Please help with this one

    Hello

    you just bought a faster (7200 RPM) 60 gb 2.5 "SATA (of course) for my Inspiron1720 - idea is to keep the system on it.

    Anyway, opened the Bay where are hard disks, and I noticed there is some sort of connector for my current hard drive (the thing has a kind of bent pins to plug the drive hard vertivally)

    because I don't want to replace it, to add another, I am devoid of this connector, faq explains only how to replace not add a second.

    Summer:

    http://dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.ID=cc_faq&message.ID=350

    that read, however it means only (part number) type PATA and SATA got :(

    Now, I spent all day in the city, searching ebay and allegro (sort of Polish to ebay ;])

    Couldn't find it anywhere, so how can I connect the new drive?

    I couldn't find info about it on the net, so it's not a common problem, so how people add new hard drives to their 1720s?

    So what now? is it possible to get this connector? what I buy from Dell? : smileymad: (that would really bother me) or should I have got one when I bought my inspiron? (don't have the box at the moment, is in my second home, so can not verify)

    Will be much gratefull for info, as it starts to irritate me, can I just plug into my new hard drive in a DELL computer.

    See you soon

  • Help with the line chart

    I created a line chart in Illustrator CS3.  Everything is great, except that I need to change the colors of the lines.  There are two lines total.  I can't select just one line to change the color.  When I use the white arrow selection tool he will choose only a point-by-point and not the whole line.

    If I use the black arrow selection tool then selects all of the chart.

    Thanks a lot for any help on this!

    It's fine even if you have a selected point you can change the color of the line, make sure you change the color of the outline, not the color of the file.

    If you want to be treated and have all selected Bézier points (or select all lines in a group), hold the option key and click with the hollow tool to select all Bézier points. Option click again to select multiple levels within the group. The result will be the same whether in the postscript file produced Illustrator.

  • Need help with the attempt to copy of 1 line of text

    Hi all

    I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I use DW for many years and write php/mysql code with it. This weekend, I downloaded and instalt a copy of CS4 new. I am trying to learn all the ins and outs new.

    I use Dreamweaver and am writing a php script. I'm in Code view and I have my page structured with all php at the top of the page code between my <? PHP and? > symbols and all my html form code at the bottom. I am trying to copy a single line of php code in my script to paste in the same script is a bit further in the code.

    I hightlight the line of code using the left button of the mouse and press Ctrl-C. When I do this, DW highlights all the php code of the symbol open until the symbol of closure and the screen display then moves to the top of the page. This same behavior occurs if I pointed out and do a right click to select copy on the shortcut menu.

    I'm just trying to copy one line of code, so it's really very strange to me!

    Should I have an incorrect parameter value?

    Someone else knows it?

    And help at all?

    Thank you

    This has been discussed to death. Simply click on the top item in the area more Like This on the right.

    It is an intermittent problem. I've never met to work on several machines and operating systems. Others find themselves constantly tormented. The key to find out what causes it is to find the common element which triggers the problem. Nobody has managed to do so far.

    It seems that have a change in the page before trying to copy eliminates the problem. Others have also found that the workspace switch clears the problem.

  • Help with e-all-in-one printer Officejet Pro 8610

    I just bought a HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-all-in-one printer.

    To my surprise, the paper tray can't handle legal-size paper - only format letter!  Do I need to buy a special paper for legal size tray?  Where?

    Although the printer has a USB port in the back (the so-called port USB Standard-B), it came not with a USB cable.  Is this normal?  I remember on previous purchases of HP printers they came with an extension cable USB with on one side a record Standard-A and Standard-B one at the other end.  Should I complain with HP?  To whom?

    Hello

    1 no, you don't need a different sandbox, plesae take off all the papers and you can see a diagram of how to measure the status bar,

    2. No, many printers now do not come with USB cables. I believe that HP provides that USB cables for printers sold in the AP region (Asia Pacific).

  • Help! Trying to amount of money with the duplicate lines

    I have a database that have the code bars the columns following, quantity, etc.. The barcode colum has duplicates of bar code and the corresponding quantity is different. I worked hours trying to solve how to summarize each different bar codes and replace the table with 1 bar code each corresponding total quantity. For example, instead of:

    SELECT bar code

    Thanks for anyone who can help with my business.

    I know there are much better to do this, but I'll share the following code and hope it helps someone else. What I did change table CART1 to a TEMP table, get the added dupliates and then copy the corrected (with no duplicates) to a new data table. Then I delete the TEMP table.



    SELECT the barcode, Sum (Quantity) as the quantitysum
