How to create a disc of eagerZeroedThick with Powershell

Hi all

I would like to create a disc of eagerZeroedThick with power (this is necessary for shared MSCS cluster disks) with powershell...

Looks like it's not available under the VIPowershell cmdlet

I have the following code... but it breaks down during the CreateVirtualDisk. Please can you help me?

Write-Host "recover: Instance of the Service...". »

$svcRef = new-object VMWare.Vim.ManagedObjectReference

$svcRef.Type = 'ServiceInstance.

$svcRef.Value = 'ServiceInstance.

$serviceInstance = get-views $svcRef

#

Write-Host "recover: virtual disk manager".

$vdm = get-view $serviceInstance.Content.VirtualDiskManager

#

Write-Host "get back: new virtual HARD drive Spec.

$vHddSpec = new-Object VMWare.Vim.FileBackedVirtualDiskSpec

$vHddSpec.CapaciptyKB = 102400

$vHddSpec.DiskType = "eagerZeroedThick" # required for the Cluster shared disk

$vHddSpec.AdapterType = 'free' # required for the Cluster shared disk

#

Write-Host 'create cluster disk '.

$FilePath = "[HQESXU0021_Local] Test1.vmdk.

$ds = get-data store HQESXU0021_Local

$vdm. CreateVirtualDisk ($FilePath, $ds, $vHddSpec)

Note1: the thing when you want to use the VirtualDiskManager methods you must connect to the ESX Server not the VC!

Note 2: the disk name must be a valid data store path.

This means that you must use the following notation:-]

Note that there is a space between the closing brackets and the name of the folder for eb.

[Example: \[myds\] vm1/vm1 - quorum.vmdk

Note3: when you connect to the ESX Server there is only 1 data center with the default name "ha-datacenter".

Note4: the CreateVirtualDisk method connect the new drive to any virtual machine.

The script would then become something like that

Connect-VIServer -Server  -User  -Password 

Write-Host "Retreive: Service Instance..."
$serviceInstance = get-view ServiceInstance
#
Write-Host "Retrieve: Virtual Disk Manager"
$vdm = Get-View $serviceInstance.Content.VirtualDiskManager
#
Write-Host "Retrieve: New virtual HDD Spec"
$vHddSpec = new-Object VMWare.Vim.FileBackedVirtualDiskSpec
$vHddSpec.CapacityKB = 102400
$vHddSpec.DiskType = "eagerZeroedThick"      # mandatory for Shared Cluster disk
$vHddSpec.AdapterType = "lsiLogic"           # mandatory for Shared Cluster disk
#
Write-Host "Create cluster disk"
$FilePath ="[myds] Cluster/cluster-quorum.vmdk"
$dc = Get-datacenter "ha-datacenter" | Get-View

$vdm.CreateVirtualDisk($FilePath, $dc.moref, $vHddSpec)

    How to create a my Signature (signature with the tablet of manufacturing) Action?

    I use PSCS6?

    I have no problem making an action of signature if I pick a font and then type in my name,

    but to make a real action of my signature seems impossible.

    Hello

    There is a very cool technique to do by your signature in a Photoshop brush.  Once this is a brush, you can change the size and place the signature everywhere where you want.

    Google "Photoshop brush signature" or something similar and you will see a lot of tutorials.  Try this one:

    Photoshop reference guide | Creating a custom brush Signature | Peachpit

    Basically, you sign your signature on a blank piece of paper, then you scan in a JPG or TIFF file, then you open that file in PS to create a brush.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to create recovery discs?

    I just went to the Geek Squad to fix a problem (fixed) and the guy suggested I have reinstall windows because my computer is slow. I just need to know how to create the recovery disks?

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer to make recovery disks.

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

    Each manufacturer has their own way to do it.

    E-mail/phone them, or look in a manual or on their Web site.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    The New-VM cmdlet takes a single value of the parameter - data store and all of the virtual disks will be located on this data store.

    If I understand your request, you create a virtual machine with 2 virtual disks, each on a different data store.

    You can use the cmdlet New - hard drive for it.

    $datastore1 = get-datastore | where-object {$_.Name -eq "lun1"}
    $datastore2 = get-datastore | where-object {$_.Name -eq "lun2"}
    
    $vm = new-vm -name vmtest01 -VMHost ESXserver -datastore $datastore1 -diskmb 8192 -memorymb 4096 -numcpu 2 -GuestId winNetStandardGuest

In Guide of Fusion Developer's for Oracle Application Development Framework in the section "How to Create Named views criteria declarative 5.11.1" I found figure '5-41 Edit View dialog with a view specific criteria criteria", which used the EXISTS operator.

    I checked this in 11.1.1.3, YMMV Yes.

    The operand EXISTS is fine for me. According to the document that you referenced (at least in 11.1.1.3 docs), you can use the operand EXISTS when the "attribute", you select another VO referenced via a link display:

    Asad,

    I had forgotten the crucial information of CS3.

    Thank you for pointing it out, Monika.

    Here is a new set of instructions with pictures, based on mixtures, to appear as suggested in the post #13, only nicer and cleaner:

    (1) create a circle of filling/nostroke with W = H = 2pt;

    (2) copy 1) at a proper horizontal distance, then copy 10 below, then create mixes of each of them with object > mix > Options set to focus = align on the path and the specified steps = 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48 and 51, applied to each game to get all the mixes to be applied on the reverse;

    (3) create a circle of vascular accident brain/nofill with W = H = 105pt and cut it to side Anchor Points, select the low center reference Point in the Transform palette and remove the bottom half;

    (Copy 4) 3) and set W = 45pt, now you should have circles outside and inside;

    (5) purpose > mix > blend Options, define the specified steps 9 and align the value Orientation on the track;

    (6) object > blend > make, now you should have 11 a half circles.

    (7) object > blend > expand, now you should have 11 independent semicircles.

    ((8) select each circle 7) with corresponding mix 2) and object > blend > change the meaning;

    (9) object > decompose the appearance and Ctrl / Cmd + SHIFT + G to ungroup, now you just need to have all the points like individual trajectories;

    (10) select the points to be repainting and repainting them.

    With the numbers you use you get quite nice models of completely round points; the odd difference in number dot a half circle to the other will ensure that you switch between one and two points at the top.

    Here is an image to four times the mentioned size, with slightly changed in red, gree and blue:

  • How to create a store of data with the small block size

    Hello

    I want to create a data store on two 160 GB drives. All the VI Client allows me to do is to create a data store of whole disc with 1 MB block. But for reasons of performance with the virtualized Oracle RAC, which is 8K organized, I want to go down to a smaller block size. But how?

    Is it possible to split my drive to (lets say) four parts, each with a smaller block size and putting them all together like extends in a data store? To create partitions with fdisk does not work, as the VI Client wants to use the unpartitioned disk. Any ideas?

    Hello

    It is not possible. The smallest block size is 1 MB on a VMFS partition.
