• How to recover the date via a funtion

  Hi all
  I have a table as below

• After the Virtual Machine is hot migrated lose the reference to the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)

  Hello

  In my VB.Net application, I retrieve the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine) through scripting Powershell VI.

  If the Virtual Machine is migrated to another host (hotmigrate) I receive an event (VMware.Vim.VmMigratedEvent), which also holds the moref of the Virtual Machine. I tried to use the updateview method to refresh the virtual computer object but failed with an error message stating that the object could not be found, or never existed.

  I also tried to recover the virtual computer object again, throug the method Client.GetView and the moref returned by the event, but the same error message.

  How can I get my hands on the virtual computer object or update after migration to another host takes place. I have to get it back again? It would be great if I could do it somhow with information from moref I hold the event!

  Any help is appreciated!

  Concerning

  Manfred

  Sorry, but I can only show you how to do this in PowerShell.

  I use the purpose of the task to get to the prompt MoRef.

  Here's how:

  $vmName = 
  $tgtHost = 
  $tgtPool = 
  
  $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
  $poolMoRef = (Get-ResourcePool $tgtPool | Get-View).MoRef
  $esxMoRef = (Get-VMHost $tgtHost | Get-View).MoRef
  
  $task= Get-View ($vm.MigrateVM_Task($poolMoRef, $esxMoRef, "lowPriority", "poweredOn"))
  
  while($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queuing"){
    $task.UpdateViewData()
  }
  
  $vmImpl = Get-VIObjectByVIView -MORef $task.Info.Entity
  

  I don't know how you get at the VmMigratedEvent event, but the MoRef in there is pointing to the correct prompt.

  In the following script, I extracted all the events related to the task of vMigrate immediately after the vMigrate task finished

  function Print-VmName{
       param($event)
  
       $MoRef = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
       $MoRef.Type = $event.vm.vm.type
       $MoRef.Value = $event.vm.vm.Value
       $vm = Get-View $MoRef
       Write-Host $vm.Name
  }
  
  $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).addminutes(-15)
  $events | % {
       $event = $_
       $eventType = $_.GetType().Name
       switch ($eventType){
            "VmMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "VmEmigratingEvent"{
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "VmBeingHotMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "TaskEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
       }

• How to rename a data via command store during automatic installation

  Hi, the automatic installation of my servers esx and post script exec I wan't to rename the local data store to esx 3.5. I tried to find a solution here in communities and also tried the following commands

  • vimsh - n e "datastore/hostsvc / / rename oldname newname.

  • VMware-vim-cmd hostsvc/datastore/rename oldname newname.

  but nothing happens when I use these commands and I get no error message.

  Anyone know what I am doing wrong and how can I rename local warehouses of data via command line?

  Thankx

  Frank

  We have a set of post scripts that are executed after the first reboot after the construction, by default the local data store must be named storage1

  You can do the following:

  ln -sf $(readlink -f /vmfs/volumes/storage1)  /vmfs/volumes/$(hostname -s)-local-storage
  

  or of any naming convention you want

• How to recover files from a missing disk

  Sometimes, my DVD player disappears from Windows Explorer and Device Manager.  I tried all the normal steps to stop the problem (remove UpperFilters and so forth), but it still happens from time to time.  When the disk is visible, it works fine.  The problem is that when I tried to move some images there in Windows Explorer to burn them on a CD, the drive has disappeared in the middle of the movement.  Now, the folders appear in the window of the E: drive (I have not closed the window or turned off power the computer since this happened), but I can't undo the move or copy them.

  I get the error "E:\ refers to a location that is unavailable.  It can be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. etc... »

  I can do to get the files back, or that I lose the files forever?

  Work with your system and not the CD to do so.

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if this does not work then the chances of recovery are very slim but you can try the other options if you want to).

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

  http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

  http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  With regard to your CD player is going, you need to update the device drivers for it. Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get the drivers (and do it for your CD-ROM drive), to leave the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the following device manager: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html

  If new drivers do not help, try swapping try it with one you know works and see if the problem moves.  The road from the other work of the computer is on your computer?  Drive your conputer there problems on the other computer?  If so, you have a hardware problem with the CD player and need to replace.

  You have computer anotherr to test the CD that you tried to do to see if it contains any files or data that are accessible?  Try some of the above recovery tools on the CD to see if you are able to recover files that have been moved (it might work).

• VMware-vim-cmd check vmwaretools available

  Hello!

  I want to make a script (with bash) to stop my VMs.

  with vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/power.shutdown ID, I can stop my VM.

  But if vmware-Tools are noticed running I want to turn off the coast of the VM hard.

  How can I check if vmware-tools are available and how can disable VM without vmware-tools?

  THX.

  Hansi

  The vim - cmd, you can use the vmsvc/get.guest allows to check if the tools are running:

  # vim - cmd vmsvc/get.guest 28 | grep toolsRunningStatus
  toolsRunningStatus = "guestToolsRunning"
  # vim - cmd vmsvc/get.guest 18 | grep toolsRunningStatus
  toolsRunningStatus = "guestToolsNotRunning".

  You can also include a vim - cmd vmsvc/power.getstate in your script to see if the VM is actually powered-on, since the status of tools will be guestToolsNotRunning on a virtual computer off of course.

  Hard power off mV, use vmsvc/power.off.

• Impossible object type cast 'VMware.Vim.ClusterVmHostRuleInf o' type 'VMware.Vim.ClusterAntiAffinityRuleSpec '.

  Hello

  I was surprised by this error. Any who see it this way? I was doing some affinity for the cluster rules. At the beginning when there was no vmgroups, hostgroups, no virtual machine to the rules of the host, this command worked very well, that no errors were generated. According to the rules of antiaffinity of vm-virtual machine, I did a few groups of MV, the host groups and created AA rules for this cluster as well via the api.  Everything has not worked well, no errors when creating. But after a few days, I wanted to add 1 more AA machine vm-virtual rule. And I received this error, no idea why this would come to the top? This error appears, but the rule is created anyway.

  BTW.

  Why he would mount "VMware.Vim.ClusterVmHostRuleInfo"?

  "An object of ClusterVmHostRuleInfo identifies virtual machines and the host groups that determine the position of the virtual machine. Virtual machines and the host referenced by a rule of VM-host must be in the same cluster. »

  But it is a rule antiaffinity VM - VM, not a vm host rule.  I still have no idea why the error comes out but I used onyx to see if I have the same problem when you do it with the api:

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
  $spec.rulesSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterRuleSpec [] (2)
  $spec.rulesSpec [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterRuleSpec

• VMware.vim.datastore Summary.FreeSpace reports wrong values

  Hello

  I use the vmware.vim.datastore Summary.FreeSpace, same newly retrieve the object, it reports the wrong values. I did other tests with vSphere CLI Power, which signals the right values. If possible, I want to use Web services to retrieve data. Is this a bug? Is it possible to get the right values with the SDK.  I think that it should be possible to get good values, because the CLI of power can also recover it somehow.

  I also have a problem of computing the values of Gigabyte. I used to divide by 1024 values until I'm GB but my values are different from the values displayed in the vSphere Client.

  Concerning

  Manfred

  Hey Manfred,

  We have not seen the incorrect values for the property datastore.summary.freespace using the SDK. You can probably try to refresh the data store, as mentioned by William Lam in the post above, and check if it stills shows incorrect values. PowerCli under uses API to extract the values of the properties of Web services. Therefore, you should see the same result/values when using the SDK and PowerCLI. You can also overlaps with the value displayed in the CROWD, http:///moband forest such freespace property down to the required property. Is you still face the question, you can share the code whereby you try to recover the property as well as the screesnhot to the VI Client for the same property.

  I hope this helps.

• Update boot entry automatic using vmware-vim-cmd (or vmware-vimsh)

  Hello

  Is there an example of how update the automatic start-up using vmware-vim-cmd input.

  The problem that I am running is

  1. when I type

  VMware-vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/update_autostartentry 16 powerOn-1 1-1 systemDefault systemDefault

  When 16 is one of my VMIds, I get the following

  Invalid option '1'

  Use: update_autostartentry VMId StartAction StartDelay StopAction StopDelay WaitForHeartbeat Strafpkt

  I can't understand what the invalid option '1'.

  Here's what I've done so now

  1. research in the communities for examples. There are a few messages, but none seem to provide real-world examples of work (beyond the use of message)

  2. I found this link http://pubs.vmware.com/vi-sdk/visdk250/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.AutoStartManager.AutoPowerInfo.html who talks about what type of entry it is pregnant. I tried double quoting and only citing the parameters of xsd: String, but that did not work either

  3. I tried the particular settings (including the xsd: int) doublequoting, which did not work either

  Anyone successful with this? If so could you please post a real example.

  Here's what I'm trying to accomplish

  1 activate Autostart - I did that using

  / usr/bin/VMware-vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/enableautostart true

  2. get all VMIds in the system

  I did it with the following command and awk script

  / * Awk script * /.

  BEGIN {}

  FS = ""

  NR 1 >

  }

  {

  If (NR == 1) {}

  #ignore header

  }

  else {}

  1. $1 has VMIds

  Print $1

  }

  }

  / * End awk script * /.

  Then run/bin/awk f /root/autostart.awk

  3. instead of printing on $1, I would like to add the virtual machines to the list using the following

  a. start-up delay = systemdefault

  start-up (b) action = poweron

  c. start order = 1, 2, 3, 4 (do not need help with AWK script), I can post once I have that.

  d. stopaction, stopdelay etc. - leave at the default system (or - 1 as the pubs suggested link)

  I'm sure that there are more effective and these ways to do this, I need to follow this approach for a specific reason.  I was wondering if someone can help me with the syntax correct for vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/enable_autostart please?

  Thanks for your help!

  -Vermorel

  It seems that the problem is with you using -1 as input for StartDelay and StopDelay,-1 is not a valid entry that I tested, and you must specify either systemDefault or a time interval.

  I created 4 VMS dummy on ESXi 4.0 host and did the following and it worked:

  Enable auto-start through vimsh (vim - cmd)

  ~ #  vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/enable_autostart 1
  Enabled AutoStart
  

  Adjustment of the 1st virtual machine:

  ~ # vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/update_autostartentry 1264 "PowerOn" "15" "1" "systemDefault" "systemDefault" "systemDefault"

  You can manually set the automatic start/stop by using the vSphere Client and using the following command to retrieve the config:

  vim-cmd hostsvc/autostartmanager/get_autostartseq
  

  which can then be used as a basis to set the configuration.

• update failed to partition table - how to recover killed 3.5u5

  I'm having a serious problem right now

  A friend of mine tried an update of 3.5u2 3.5u5.

  The update failed for some reason any.

  Now when you boot the ESX there is no longer the VMFS volume, which stood on the same disk as the ESX itself.

  I checked with a Knoppix and fdisk and the old VMFS volume appears as unallocated.

  Any ideas on how to recover from that?

  I tried testdisk but he did not find the correct table.

  Of course, no backup or dd-dump headers VMFS is available.

  All ideas are welcome - my friend think he'll get fired tomorrow, so it's really urgent

  Thanks Ulli
