How to put vmGuestOsIdentifier in a script task?

Hello

I'm struggling with the development of my fo VM creation workflow.

As you know, when you create a virtual machine, the guestOS must be set.

At first, I defined the type of entry to vmGuestOsIdentifier, but that doesn't look nice, because IDS are not exactly like the OS - original names (for example "winLonghorn"'s "Windows Server 2008 32-bit").

I created a list of all the names of BONES, which are used on our virtual machines, set the entry to the string type and the value of the list as a list of predefined items.

However, I still need to have a variable of vmGuestOsIdentifier type that needs to be fixed, but now in a script task.

And that's what I'm struggling with.

How can I set the vmGuestOsIdentifier in a script task?

Thank you and

Concerning

Andreas

HI Andreas,

My bad. I should use the documentation carefully. The fromString method aims to convert a well known in enum enum value. For example, it can be used as

VcVirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier.fromString ("darwin64Guest")

This will result in

VcVirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier.darwin64Guest

On the other hand, because the column description http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.vm.GuestOsDescriptor.GuestOsIdentifier.html by must be located so the VC VC plugin objects,

the VC itself exposes the same values. So everyone who wants friendly names must handle this case by case.

So in your case since you have friendly names, you should bind to the VcVirtualMachineGuestOsIdentifier of the specific values. Ugly hack, but it's the current implementation. I'm sorry.

Kind regards

-Martin

    How to connect the output of a task for I can use it as input for another task?  See this screen below: the task "Invoke the Script" run a PowerShell Script.  The task 'Send E-mail' send an email.  The two tasks work separately.  How can I get the results of my powerShell script that I can use them as content of the task 'Send Email'?

    On the script invoke task you set the attributes of output containing the results of powershell.

    to do this, select the output tab and use an object name that was put in place in powershell results as in the data

    You may need to format, this results in a recognized VMware object I guess in your case it is a string type.

    and then select the e-mail task, select the task from email, click on the small eye looking for icon "view details".

    Select the Visual link

    Select the attributes you setup from the output of the previous task and hang it in the input parameters of the task to email.

  • How do I know if a script runs on vcenter?

    Hello

    Ask me how do I know if a script was broadcast on a vcenter, any idea who?

    We had some problems with one of our vcenter as standard latency and disconnection, and I suspect that someone is playing a powercli script.

    So if you now check that i'll be gratefull

    Thank you

    To my knowledge, there is no way to determine if something is carried out through PowerCLI or customers... All vCenter newspapers will appear in the tasks and events no matter where they are executed. You can view the active sessions for the customer and the customer powecli:

    In vSphere vCenter Client Web-> manage-> Sessions or Client c# Home-> Sessions.

    • tap the ALT key, the Menu Bar temporarily displays, click on view > sidebar > bookmarks
    • Hold DOWN the ALT key while pressing the VEB keyboard letters

    Hi Billy,

    If your flyer is in a text box, resize the box to fit a half page A4. Copy, paste, and then drag the copy down half of the A4 page.

    Alignment guides can help (Menu > Pages > Pages Preferences > leaders):

    Also Menu > view > show rules.

    You can drag a Guide of alignment (orange line in the following screen shot) of the horizontal rule (not to print the Guides).

    Menu > View > Show presentation in order to see the page margins and the header and footer.

    50% of the zoom for a small screenshot.

    File > Menu > print... to confirm the layout

    Kind regards

    Ian.
