• Help with script from beginner to the data store and hard drives

  Hello

  I am quite new to scripting, and recently, I created a monstrosity below.

  The problem is with the results. I have no idea why in the results I get the name of the virtual machine and its data store over and over again until all disks are highlighted.

  Any help will be very very much appreciated.

  The script:

  $raport = @)

  Foreach ($i in (Get-Content "Y:\vms.txt"))

  {

  $rekord = «»

  $vm = get-vm-name '$i '.

  $dysk1 = $vm | Get-hard drive | where {$_.} Name - eq 'Disk 1'}

  $datastore1 = $dysk1.filename.split("]") [0].split("[") [1]

  $disks = $vm | Get-hard drive

  {foreach ($disk in $disks)

  $hd = «»

  $disksize = ($disk. CapacityGB)

  $hd += $disksize

  {$rekord += $vm.name + ";" + $datastore1 + ";" + $hd}

  $raport += $rekord

  }

  $raport | out-file 'Y:\dyski.csv '.

  The results in csv:

  VM1Name; datastoreName; 60; VM1Name:datastoreName; 50; VM1Name; datastoreName; 40

  VM2Name; datastoreName; 45; VM2Name; datastoreName; 40

  The results of dream in csv:

  VM1Name; datastoreName; 60; 50 40

  etc.

  Try like this

  $raport = @)

  {

  $rekord = «»

  $vm = get-vm-name '$i '.

  $disk = $vm | Get-hard drive

  $datastore = ($disk | where {$_.}) Name - eq "disk 1" hard}).filename.split ("]") [0].split("[") [1].

  $rekord = "$($vm.)". The name); $($datastore); $(($disk | sélectionnez-ExpandProperty CapacityGB)-join ' |') »

• Help with script to change the network name.

  Hello

  I made a small script to help me rename the label of network on a portgroup and then correct the label of network on all the virtual machines with this label.

  I came across the problem that it could not update on the virtual machines network label because the portgroup did not exist (this must be because it does not wait for the first order at the end?). I fixed that by doing a line with: "Start-Sleep-seconds 10.

  The script works, but I don't like the solution with 10 sec sleep because it could go wrong if the portgroup takes more than 10 seconds to create (unlikly).

  I tried different things, for example "Wait-task" but without success.

  any ideas?

  $esxi = Read-host "enter the IP address of the host."

  $portgroup_old = Read-host "Enter the name of the portgroup you wish to rename.

  $portgroup_new = Read-host "enter the new name of the portgroup.

  Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_old | Game-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_new

  Start-Sleep - seconds 10

  Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old} | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $portgroup_new - confirm: $false

  Unfortunately, with groups of standard port vSwitch, that's what you're stuck with.

  You could try a loop 'while' like this instead:

  Get-VMHost-name $esxi | Get-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_old | Game-VirtualPortGroup-name $portgroup_new

  While (Get-VMHost-name $esxi |) Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old})

  {Get-VMHost-name $esxi |} Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $portgroup_old} | {Set-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $portgroup_new - confirm: $false}

• Need help with script to find the virtual computer by IP

  Looking for a script that will correspond to the vm to IP, but should be able to find several IPS at the same time.

  I put this together from scripts on the net, which works well to search for a single IP address at a time:

  $match_address = Read-Host "enter the IP address to find."

  Get - VM | %{

  $vmips = $_. Guest.IPAddress

  {foreach ($ip in $vmips)

  If ($ip - as $match_address) {}

  "VM found correspondence address: {0}" f $_. Name

  }

  }

  }

  But would need to be able to enter several IP addresses of different subnets in the $match_address and search script for a match for every ip address.

  Could you please try this?

  function search-VMAssociatedToIP {}

  (param

  $ArrayOfIPToCheck

  )

  {in process

  $VMsAndAssociatedIP = get-view - viewtype 'virtualmachine ' | {foreach-object

  $VM = $_

  $_.guest.net | {foreach-object

  $Net = $_

  $_. IpAddress | {foreach-object

  $IpAddress = $_

  $Output = New-Object-Type PSObject-Prop ([ordered] @ {}

  "VM" = $VM. Name

  "NetworkName" = $Net.Network

  "IP address" = $IpAddress

  })

  Return $Output

  }

  }

  }

  $ArrayOfIPToCheck | {foreach-object

  $IPtoCheck = $_

  $VMsAndAssociatedIP | where {$_.} IpAddress - eq $IPtoCheck} | {foreach-object

  $Output = New-Object-Type PSObject-Prop ([ordered] @ {}

  "IpToCheck" = $IPtoCheck

  'VM' = $_. VM

  "NetworkName" = $_.NetworkName

  'IpAddress' = $_. IpAddress

  })

  Return $Output

  }

  }

  }

  }

  $MyArray = "10.0.33.1","10.0.30.11","10.0.20.11","10.0.32.1".

  Search for VMAssociatedToIP - ArrayOfIPToCheck $MyArray | OGV

  Use a table entry.

  First get the IP addresses of all computers installed correctly (only for virtual machines with VMware tools) virtual based on get - view so the collection will be fast.

  Then compare with the PPE provided as input.

• Add NT user to the Group Admin Local (virtual machine in a field)

  Are there any custom script that we could write to add NT user a local administrator of a virtual computer that is in a domain as well? Any ideas? Thank you.

  In what context have you used it? This code example is part of a larger solution, with specific steps...

  in fact, the only command that must be executed is the net localgroup... order... the code a little older a workflow where I picked up the text in a reg temp file and then imported the reg file... the reg file create a runOnce registry who was apparently alone running if you connect to the new virtual machine until a first domain administrator - is not ideal... but using ONLY the command net localgroup in there that's what I found to work more consistently.

• Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.

  Thanks in advance!

  Not really as much as I know.

  The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.

  The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.

  With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.

• VSphere number of virtual machines per CPU

  I've seen estimates of virtual machines per CPU and I understand that it depends on a combination of things. I think 4-5 virtual machines per CPU is up around. We run HP Proliant DL380 G5s (2 quad core) and it seems like that 4-5 per CPU core will be our number. Memory being the main factor limiting.

  I am now watching the servers (2 quad core) Proliant DL380 G6 and recital 72 GB of memory. Before I size like that, I want to know if the 8-10 mV by heart is conceivable. Even if I think that my current hardware could choke if I tried, I thought that perhaps most recent families of processor as the Proliant G6 Nehalem with VSphere improvements with regard to the planning of the CPU that could be a possibility.

  Also, I assumed variess speed processor directly with the virtual machine by core equip. As CPU speed increses # or virtual machines by increases in Basic. Is this correct?

  You're right it depends on many things, but for the general basic rules 4 - 6 virtual machines by heart for ESX 3.x and you can run no risk 6 to 8 virtual machines to vSphere, if you know that your virtual machines are use of the lamp, then pushing to 6-10VMs might do, but you should perhaps follow the activities and decrease if resources are hammering.  vSphere certainly has better CPU planning services and get the best performance from predecessor.  I test it on a test environment and the maximum stress and see how it runs.  What types of workloads and servers do you think?

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

• script to summarize the use of the total disc of virtual machines

  How can I summarize sizes total vmdk (not thin) of a list of virtual machines in vc?

  Hello, once again-

  I see your second post.  Yes, you could go that route, too.  You are close to, simply add in a Measure-Object call.  A little cleaned up, it would be like:

  $machines = Get-Content c:\servers.txtGet-VM -Name $machines | Get-HardDisk | `    select @{N="VMName";E={$_.Parent.Name}},@{N="Capacity(GB)";E={[math]::truncate($_.CapacityKB / 1MB)}},Filename | `    Measure-Object -Property "Capacity(GB)" -Sum
  

  How does do for you?
