• How to get VM to the .vmx file path when you have the VM name?

  Hi all

  I use the latest version of VIX API to power on virtual machines on an ESX Server. I work with c# in Visual Studio 2012 and currently I have power on the virtual machine by using the following code:

  VMWareVirtualMachine virtualClientMachine = host. Open (vmMachinePath, 2100);

  While this works, I think it is better to be able to turn on the virtual machine when you know the name of the virtual machine and not the path. So, how can I get the path to the VM to the vmx file when I know the name of the virtual machine? For example, if my VM on the ESX Server is called WIN7GERMAN, how I can get the path and pass this to the host. Opening function?

  Thanks for any help or code.

  VM names are not unique, that's why it is not supported.

  You can use VixHost_FindItems() and locate the VIX_PROPERTY_FOUND_ITEM_NAME property without papers and use the associated VIX_PROPERTY_FOUND_ITEM_LOCATION to get the value to pass to VixHost_OpenVM().  You have to deal with duplicate however names

• Having problem to add code to the .vmx file.

  I added my vmx file attachments, so you can take a look.
  I added these lines of code to the wrong file?

  IM using Windows 7 pro on the host computer. With the help of VMware Workstation 8

  Help please! =)

  The file you connected, Windows 7 vmxf, isn't the .vmx config file and does not have the file, you should be editing!   Remove your Windows 7 vmxf file changes and edit the .vmx instead.  If you still have questions after that cleaning of the .vmxf file and modifying the .vmx file and then archive them both in a zip file and attach to a response message.

• How to add comments in the library module?

  I use LR 5.3 and in the library Module, metadata below is a comment field. However, in this area, it is said to "Selected service does not support comments.

  I can't find any information on how to use or how to "legitimately" comment on a photo.  I saw where it was suggested to add comments in the metadata fields, but this seems like a gross work around.  What is the purpose of the 'Comments' section in the library Module?

  What is the field "comments"? in the EXIF data?

  string-join is a standard xpath function... Oracle implements the function, but is not in the Mapper/wizards... It should be used in a transformation XSLT or BPEL 2.0...

  This transfer XSLT works, but you will lose the design view...

• How to: add comments to a file.

  In XP with the help of the "Details" display files, right-click in the topic area columns would provide a list of possible columns, then selecting the comments field he would place this column on the screen. "» It is also possible with Win7, well.

  In XP, we could add a comment to a folder (for almost any type of file in any folder) by double-clicking on the file and selecting the properties option and then selecting the Summary tab you could type a comment, and it was posted in the comments on the file screen. He has worked for almost all types of files and has been VERY useful when filenames were the better undescriptive, (most of the time).
  In Win7 it seems that it is NOT possible for almost all files types, very disappointing!
  Is this feasible?

  Hello

  What type of files you are unable to add comments to?

  You can add comments and change the properties of most of the files in Windows 7. But you cannot add comments to some files that have been
  blocked by the author. You will not be able to add comments to the .exe files.

  See the mentioned link below for more information:

• How can I register all of the VMX files found in a list of stores of data with new names

  Hello-

  I'm trying to find a way to search through a given list of data and each discover a warehouse. VMX file, add this machine in the inventory I want to prepend the name of the machine as something different. That is to say, instead of "Machine1", I wish it were registetred as "auto-Computer1.  So, imagine I have an empty data center with 4 warehouses of data stored in a table $arrDatastoreToInclude.  I want to loop through each of these data stores and add all the VMX files I found back in the inventory.

  I know that I can use the following to get data warehouses I want:

  $dsindatacenter = get-data center $DataCenterName | Get-Datastore? | {$arrDatastoreToInclude - contains $_.} Name}

  But I have no idea how to analyze these data stores for the VMX files and what command to add them in the inventory.  Can anyone help?

  Try the following, it is based on the script of the position that Robert mentioned.

  You will need to provide a file (in $VMFolder) where unregistered virtual machines will be stored.

  The Set-VM cmdlet will take care of the rename.

  $DatacenterName = "MyDatacenter" $arrDatastoreToInclude = "DS1","DS2","DS3","DS4"
  
  $dc = Get-DataCenter $DataCenterName $dsindatacenter =  Get-Datastore -Datacenter $dc | ?{$arrDatastoreToInclude -contains $_.Name}
  
  $VMFolder = "MyFolder"
  $ESXHost = Get-VMHost -Location $dc | select -First 1
  foreach($Datastore in $dsindatacenter) {
      # Collect .vmx paths of registered VMs on the datastore     $registered = @{}
      Get-VM -Datastore $Datastore | %{$_.Extensiondata.LayoutEx.File | where {$_.Name -like "*.vmx"} | %{$registered.Add($_.Name,$true)}}
  
     # Set up Search for .VMX Files in Datastore    New-PSDrive -Name TgtDS -Location $Datastore -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root '\' | Out-Null    $unregistered = @(Get-ChildItem -Path TgtDS: -Recurse |         where {$_.FolderPath -notmatch ".snapshot" -and $_.Name -like "*.vmx" -and !$registered.ContainsKey($_.Name)})
      Remove-PSDrive -Name TgtDS
     #Register all .vmx Files as VMs on the datastore   foreach($VMXFile in $unregistered) {
          New-VM -VMFilePath $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder |
          Set-VM -Name ("Auto-" + $_.Name)
     }
  }
  

  Unregistered virtual machines will be saved with Displayname that is present in the VMX file.

  If this would cause a conflict with VM already registered, you can use the Name of the cmdlet New-VM parameter

• How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

  How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista

  Hi Harry,.

  Oddly enough, you can actually do it in msconfig except if it is already there and simply not checked as opposed to not being do not at all (although you would think that they would understand this option).

  The easiest way is to add the program (or a shortcut to the program) in the folder all Menu Programs Startup.   Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_5098465_add-startup-programs.html.  Remember, to do this, you must either a shortcut existing (perhaps on the desktop or elsewhere in the menu all programs) or you need to find the source file (probably somewhere in C:\Program Files depending on what you want to add) and either copy it and add it to the startup folder or right-click on it and create a shortcut to copy into the startup folder.  Once you reboot, this program starts during the initial commissioning process and you will now be able to control using msconfig.exe, if you wish.

  Another option is to do this by using the registry editor.  If you decide to try this, first create a restore AND system restoration point backup of the registry before you begin.  Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_7304438_add-program-msconfig-regedit.html.  I recommend to use this ONLY if the previous procedure does not work for some reason any as long as that the procedure is simpler and safer.

  If you want a simpler way to manage and control startup programs, you can try it free WinPatrol http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html that change monitors for startup programs if you set it to run in real-time so that you know when to try new programs are added to your Start menu and, for the purposes of this question includes an Add button which opens a link to a window of Windows Explorer where you can browse the program you want to add, click open to select and then add it directly to the commissioning.  If you prefer it does not work all the time, you can simply uncheck the box which includes this program and it will work only when you choose to run (but at the start, will work as an indication otherwise or configured).  It will appear not in the start menu in all programs (Finally, WinPatrol is, but not programs, it adds to the start), but it will appear in WinPatrol (which also lets you manage what you want or not start with checkboxes as in msconfig) and sure in msconfig - but only after a reboot is complete the process of adding.

  I hope this helps.  Personally, I use WinPatrol myself and let it run in real time.  Since I do a lot of installations, it helped me often prevent the addition of a startup item I haven't really need and reduces how many times I actually need to check what is happening out there.

  If this answers your question without the need to repost in another forum, please mark it as an answer.  If this isn't the case, then of course you must republish as suggested above.

  Good luck!

• How to add text to the file selected?

  I have already updated title but I don't know how to add it to the selected real file (the one in the middle)... I read on some other forums but its still confuse me.  Also, is there anyway to add the effect of movement, as drag in or dissolve almost?

  

  I mean this in the nicest way possible, but it's very wacky workspace you put in place there. Create titles is muuuuch easier in the standard workspace Edition. When you create / open a title in the editing workspace, he creates a floating large window with the title of all the members of panels. It is about the only time I am ok with windows in the first floating. You will create the title in the window title, and then close the window title entirely. The video for the title will then be in your project Panel (which you can not common to see in your current workspace configuration, but will be very apparent in the workspace standard edition in the lower left). So the best thing to do is to simply drag the title element of the project to sequence Panel (another Panel today, you don't see in your current workspace arrangement.

• How do the .vmx file

  How do the .vmx file to enter data for the serial ports?

  Open the file with Notepad (or your favorite text editor) upward, NOT working.

• I need a way to search search all the .vmx files

  I have a problem with vMotions in vCenter 6.0 I migrant to ESXi 5.5 with standard switches to a vCenter 6.0 with distributive switches.  For your information, here is the process.

  (1) unplug the host to vCEnter 5.5

  (2) add a host to vCenter 6.0

  (3) migration of ESXI 5.5 to 6.0 ESXi host with the installation of a standard switch.

  4) migrate to 6.0 with standard switch ESXi ESXi 6.0 with D-switch.

  Full migration.  The reason for the double jump is that esxi 55 can't change host and network to a switch-d so I have to get to ESXi 6.0 first.

  It all works very well, but for some reason, the .vmx file doesn't change not the port group. She is always present the standard switch. How ever VMS are on the rise and connected, the web client shows the port of switch-D group.  But when I do a vMotion it changes again in the d switch and the VM crashes.

  I have a case open with VMware to solve this, but I need to get the other VMS migrate without failure.

  The explanation may have been a bit long-winded, but here's what I need.

  I'm OK with PowerCLI but it is a bit outside my experience.  Can we create a script for watching all the ethernet ports in the .vmx for all virtual machines files see what port on their group name?

  Thanks for any help

  Tree!

  Try like this

  Get - VM | Select Name,

  @{N = "PG"; E = {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ |)} {(Sélectionnez-ExpandProperty NetworkName) - join ' |'}}

• Need help updated the VMX file on several Virtual Machine

  All,

  Can anyone help with a problem I'm having?  Here is a brief explanation of what is happening and what we need to solve.

  Recently we found out that we need to add a line in the file VMX of several virtual machines.  In the past, I was able to do this, but would have cold start the virtual machine for the changes to take effect.  Starts cold won't be a problem, because we can program it.

  However, no one knows a way to add this line in the file VMX virtual machines in a cluster.

  Here's the line I need added:

  Devices.hotplug = "false".

  Here is a script that was used earlier (esx 3.0 days) to keep the VM tools updated on reboot.  At this point, if the virtual machine has been turned on, this change could not do through the UI.  However, this script worked to update the .vmx file and then we have cold reboots for the changes to take effect.

  Get-viserver - < Server > - < user > - < password >

  $viview = get-Cluster-name NOMCLUSTER | Get - VM | foreach-object {get-view ($_.ID)}
  $viview | {foreach-object
  $vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools = new-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterPowerOn = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterResume = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestStandby = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestShutdown = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle".
  $_. ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)
  }

  The exact script can be found in Disable HotPlug

• By script of the vmx file changes?

  I have a number of existing VMs that I want to add some advanced configuration settings. Instead of using the GUI to add the values, I would like to automate the process. My plan is to write a script that turns off the virtual machine and adds the new values (isolation.tools.x or isolation.device.x) in the vmx files. Is - this safe/advisable to do so via a script? Someone at - it an example of existing script, they would be willing to share?

  If you want to do with just the VI Toolkit itself, then you will need to do something like this

  $vm = get - View (Get - VM NameofVMtoUpdate) USER.USER
  $vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $vmConfigSpec.extraconfig = new-Object VMware.Vim.optionvalue
  $vmConfigSpec.extraconfig [0]. "Key ="lefthandsideofentry"
  $vmConfigSpec.extraconfig [0]. ' Value ='rigthhandsideofentry + '.
  $vm. ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)

  Where

  • NameofVMtoUpdate is the name of the virtual machine that you want to update (from the vCenter inventory)

  • lefthandsideofentry is the entrance of advanced configuration, that you want to set

  • rigthhandsideofentry is the value of the advanced configuration entry

  As an alternative some of these people who hang out on the VI Toolkit region have implemented a set of Powershell extensions for the VI toolkit available from CodePlex (http://www.codeplex.com/vitoolkitextensions). Game-TkeVmx will allow you to set values (essentially the same code as above just rolled into a function to keep your code cleaner)
