How to check if the virtual machine is managed by vCloud Director

Hello

I need to find a way to check in Orchestrator so the virtual machine is managed by Director vCloud.

I can't verify this with PowerCLI command below:

(get - vm Vm_name *). ExtensionData.Config.ManagedBy.ExtensionKey

Untitled.png

.. .but my goal is to check in the orchestrator workflow.

Help, please.

You can get the same information from the VC:VirtualMachine object in vCO.

Create a workflow or action with a named input of type vm VC:VirtualMachine and the snippet of code below would get the information you are looking for.

var extensionKey = vm.config.managedBy.extensionKey;

  • How can I move the "Virtual Machines" folder to the My Documents folder?

    VMwareFusion is to put the "Virtual Machines" folder in the Documents folder in the home folder (/users/ [username] / Documents), how can I move elsewhere (as/Library/Application Support)? The user Documents folder is not the right place for automated it system files, it is intended for personal documents.


    I am running VMware Fusion on OS X Yosemite (and the virtual machine is Windows 7).

    You can keep your virtual machines anywhere you want. Here are the steps to move:

    1 exit VMware Fusion. You can stop first of all of your running virtual machines.

    2. drag your virtual computers folder or the individual VM "files" where you / them. Filenames usually end in ".vmwarevm". There is no need to call the new folder "Virtual Machines" - you can call it anything you like.

    3. Launch VMware Fusion. If the library of the Virtual Machine window is not open, open it (Windows menu-> Virtual Machine library).

    4. ensure that all of your icons for the virtual machine are light gray and say "file not found".

    5. right click on each virtual machine in turn, and select Remove. When you are done, leave the window of Machine virtual library empty open.

    6. in the Finder, drag the icons of file virtual machine in their new location and drop them in library of virtual machines VMware Fusion window. Drop them one by one in the original order, you got, or rearrange icons later.

    7. run your virtual machines as before.

    When you create new virtual computers, navigate to the desired file before the Save.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If you your folder of Machines ~/Documents/Virtual excluded from backups Time Machine, don't forget to change the exclusion to the new folder.

    Time Machine backups are not reliable for virtual machines. You must have another strategy. (I shut the virtual machine down, compress the 'file', and then move the compressed file to a folder that is included in the Time Machine backups. This isn't the only strategy, but it works for me.)

  • How to check if a virtual machine has active hotplug?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a workflow that is supposed to change the amount of vCPUs and memory on a virtual computer.

    (for those who arrive suspicious: I'm continuing / edition work of Munel, another user here)

    Since we have different types of VMS, I need to check if a virtual machine is capable of hotplugging processors and memory.

    Now the workflow is designed in a way, it first tries to change the values, and if it runs into an error, it checks if the error code says that the vhardware is not active hotplug then stop the virtual machine or throws an exception.

    This is not a very nice solution and must be changed.

    Is there a way to check the ability before hotplug actually trying to change the vhardware?

    Thanks in advance

    Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    To check if a virtual machine has a hot connection activated, you have the following options:

    Check if memory hot add is enabled:

    virtual_machine_instance.config.memoryHotAddEnabled

    Check if the CPU hot add is enabled

    virtual_machine_instance.config.cpuHotAddEnabled

    Check if the hot removal of CPU is enabled

    virtual_machine_instance.config.cpuHotRemoveEnabled

    If you have the vSphere client, tree options above are located in the Configuration dialog box of the virtual machine on the tab Options-> memory/CPU hotplug.

    Hope this helps,

  • Take a snapshot of a lun SAN: How do I disassemble the virtual machine?

    SAN is FC 9958E Hitachi, ESX 3.5 update 2.

    I try to take a snapshot of a lun (with a virtual machine in this regard) san and must turn off the virtual machine and disassemble the VMFS virtual machine so I can do that there is no I/O will the lun when I take the snapshot.

    How can I (of) a virtual machine of the VMFS without making the other virtual machines running in the same cluster? I know that the VMFS is a system of shared files grouped campaigns, exclusive property of vmware. Does anyone know the command to use?

    If anyone has any info on this subject, it would be great.

    This is the documentation is 1.5 ESX, released in 2002.

    The command no longer exists in recent versions.

  • How can I associate the virtual machine to the physical NETWORK card?

    Hello

    I have a host, has two physical network adapters.

    I want to use one for VM and give an ip address for this but I do not know how to configure it. In my view, "Manage virtual networks" fuction for this...

    Thank you!

    You should already have a phyiscal WHAT NIC assigned to VMnet0 (bridged). So if the choice as vonnection for a guest. Create a second connection open by assigning the physical NIC then to VMnet2, for example (VMnet1 is already in use). Assign this connection to the second guest.

  • Do we not have to change the settings for the virtual machine once moved from 2.5 ESX to vSphere 4.1?

    Hi guys,.

    I just wanted to check, once the virtual machines are migrated from ESX 2.5, 2.5 Vcenter to ESX 4.1, Vcenter 4.1 of the NFS datastore on the iSCSI data store.

    Do I have to make changes to the vm settings?

    To use the features to enhance available with ESX 4.1 what I need to change the virtual disk to logical Bus to LSI logic? What is recommended or is not serious?

    It will be very useful for me to know if there is any need for changes to be made other than on the virtual machine upgrade vmware tools.

    Thank you

    You try to run ESX 2.5 VM on ESX4.1, if that's the case then ESX 2.5 VM are not supported on ESX 4.1

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

  • How to access the appservice parent of the virtual machine/machine component in a Multi environment?

    Hello

    I worked on a project of automation of the vra. In Orchestrator I have access to all the information for a particular component VM (for example, vCACVm, vCenterVm, virtualmachineEntity, vCACHost, vCACVmProperties objects) in the multi machine environment. But I have no information for the parent appservice (usually there will be a 'fake' vm as parent for multi machine environment).  For example, if I need to know the virutalmachineID of this parent 'VM' how to do it through vCAC API? I checked around and out to the desperate. Someone from http://dailyhypervisor.com/vrealize-automation-vcac-6-1-building-vco-workflows-for-multi-machine-blueprints/ says vCACEntity.getlink (vCACHost, "ChildVirutalMachines"), which seems the only link between parents and children vms. I certainly know that there should be an easy way to connect the machine virtual parent/child and go to the other, but how?

    Any response is appreciated!

    Concession of thank you for your response. It is the most common way that we tried. However, all properties we don't see anything pointing to the parent app "appservice' of a vm component. Last night I thought I found the answer. A property is shared between 'parent' and 'children': provisioningGroupID; It turns out that the name confusion is actually for "business group" for all the virtual machines belong to this group of companies will have the same value, not only the family of multi machine.

  • How to install the virtual machine to ISO image

    Rather than burning a CD from ISO images downloaded from each OS you want to build a virtual machine it would be more convenient to use the ISO image directly. How can I achieve this?

    Create the virtual computer with CD player.

    Double click the CD drive in the virtual machine properties.

    Select USE AN ISO IMAGE

    Navigate to the image.

    and also you can refer to this link

  • How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

    How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

    Port group is virtual aggregation of ports on vSwitch. A vSwitch can have multiple Port groups which separate the different network traffic. Port groups communicate with vSwitch, and we have physical network maps on vSwitch which establish communication with the external network. We can configure security, NIC teaming, traffic shapping nework political and at the level of the port groups. Once the port group is created, we can assign to vNIC

    How to establish communication?

    Public network > Switch L3 Core > ESXi physical adapter > vSwitch > groups > virtual NIC > Virtual Machine

    Virtual machine connect to the physical map using vNIC coming on Port groups. This is how it works.

  • PowerCLi script to check if 2 virtual machines are on the same host

    Hello

    I'm nubby on PowerCLI and I would like to help in the construction of a script.

    The script should check if two virtual machines (named test1 and test2) are running on the same host in a vCenter and send a notification (email), if they do.

    Something similar with affinity / anti-affinite DRS rules (but not through the DRS enabled on vCenter).  My focus is on the affinity. In case this happens, I need vMotion one of them on an another ESXi host(manually or automated).

    What I have done until now is the following:

    Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, '

    @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}}, '

    @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. "(ExtensionData.CLient.ServiceUrl.Split('/') [2]}}, '"

    @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | `

    Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation C:\Scripts\file.csv

    That becomes all the VMS and export a CSV file information:

    NameClusterESX hostvCenterData store
    test2cluster_testESXi_test1vCenter_test1:443datastore1
    Test1cluster_testESXi_test1vCenter_test1:443datastore1

    VM2.localcluster_test3ESXi_test3vCenter_test1:443datastore1
    VM31.localcluster_test3ESXi_test3vCenter_test1:443datastore1

    Thank you.

    Try like this.

    $tgtVM = "test1", "test2".

    Get-VM-name $tgtVM | Group-object - property VMHost | %{

    if($_.) County - gt 1) {}

    $vm = $_. Group | Get-Random

    $esx = $vm. VMHost

    $tgtEsx = get-Cluster - $vm VM | Get-VMHost | where {$_.} Name - not $esx. Name} | Get-Random

  • How to make a virtual computer to connect to a CD player with an ISO mounted when you start the virtual machine?

    I am the creation of virtual machines using PowerCLI 5.5 on vSphere 5.0; and while the virtual machine is turned off, I am able to mount an ISO on a CD player and change the boot order to boot from the CD-ROM (for another post).  I have the flag startConnected set to true, but am not having much luck getting the virtual machine to connect to the CDDrive

    When I start the VM, it does start the ISO.

    If I go to vCenter, the CD is pointing to the ISO file, but the 'Connected' to change settings option is not checked;  I can restart the VM of vCenter and then the VM restarts the ISO, but not in the script.

    I even put code to add a lead time of 5 to 10 seconds; I restart the virtual machine twice in the script and I can't CD to connect to start the virtual computer.
