How to restart a service on the host esx with vi toolkit

It is possible to restart the services esx (such as syslogd, hpasm hpsmhd) via a script Powershell uses the VI API?

I have a powershell script that calls plink.exe to do, but I'd rather not use plink.

As far as I know, there is no such API.

There is the Start-VmHostService cmdlet, but it's only for a very limited set of services (ntpd, sshd, vmware-vpxa).

  • NAT network between the host ESX with DVS

    Hello.

    In my test of vSphere 4, I have two ESX hosts. I want to share an IP address between all the virtual machines on these two ESX hosts. In this regard, I have a virtual machine that acts as a NAT router. This virtual machine has two network that is connected to each their own vNetwork Distributed Switch connection. We have a physical NIC (on each ESX host) which has the Internet connection. The other has no physical network connection.

    To test if it works I created a VM test on both ESX hosts. The system works on the virtual machine that is on the same ESX host as the virtual machine that acts as a NAT router is located, but not the virtual machine on the other ESX host. The other VM have no contact with the router and receives no DHCP data.

    Any suggestions? I know I did something wrong because DVS is new to me, but I really want this to work.

    Hello

    That ends up being a vNetwork design more than anything even with vDS. For example, if you have a NAT that works for all your hosts you would then have a NAT virtual appliance such as:

    PSwitch external network <->Teddy <->vSwitch <->vPG <->NAT VM <->vPG <->vSwitch <->Teddy <->network internal pSwitch

    Now the vSwitches in the above can be traditional vSwitches or vDS' the key is that the "seconds" vSwitch must be connected on the same vSwitch on all other hosts, so it has an uplink to a physical switch that is also connected to all other hosts. vDS does NOT lighten your vNetwork is the need of cable to allow the communication of the VM.

    The VM NAT can move from host to host as long as there is communication to this virtual machine on each host on each network in this case, the external network and internal.

  • How to get the host ESX DR see replicated Celerra Lun

    Hi guys, Im setting up SRM with 2 x NS20 and ive got regarding the configuration of the LUN on the production storage array, Lun on the storage LUN appropriate to prod/dr esx servers present DR Bay. Ive set up replication and added the DR lun to the esx server, ensuring not to add it as he will write a signature. I've then added the production on the production ESX Server LUNs, added storage which obviously writes a signature on the drive, and with the installation of the replication, I expected to simply issue a new analysis on the DR esx host and do see the data store.

    Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    "On DR NS ive done exactly the same thing with respect to FS, Lun, target iSCSI and presented to the host ESX DR, ive done a rescan and his picked up the lun 'Read Only', which is being replicated in but the tab of summary in VC, I see that the local VMFS file system and I was expecting to see the replicated LUN listed with the store local data or is this seen only". When SRM changes the properties of Lun during a failover? »

    You will not see the Site recovery volumes listed in data warehouses, unless you do one of two things - a failover in which case the production side will be unalterable and be removed from the list of data on the Production side store while exposing the VMFS data store now read-write on the side of the recovery.

    Or you use the test function in which case that encourage a wink of Celerra temporary writable and it will appear as a data store broken in the list on the side of the recovery VMFS data warehouses.

    However, it seems that you do not see this result, as DR table does not seem to be configured as it should.

    Can the side Production VC communicate with happiness with the Celerra recovery site - IE can launch you a session PUTTY from the Production side VC and connect to recovery side Celerra. Can the recovery side VC do the same thing for the Production side Celerra?

    I guess you get the unknown peer after that MRS. not the discovery of the table that owns about 23% forever and then ends. The only other thing I can think of and am not sure about this as a solution because it is a set of actions that I did of my side of recovery when Celerra is to create a small file system and in a small iSCSI LUN on the side of the recovery of the recovery side Celerra and put it in your recovery ESX cluster side - create a file system VMFS on it and place a Virtual computer in this VMFS file system - this is to check that there are no problems with the ESX host side recovery working with the recovery side Celerra

    My guess would be a thing of IP connectivity - if it's a little strange, if the link between the Production side VC and the recovery side VC has been established successfully

    I'll pass on to a colleague to VMware SRM and see if he has any ideas

  • mutex slow performance in windows xp on the host ESX 5 prompt

    I've done a few consumer casual producer marks written in C with visual studio 2005 on dual core 2 ghz cpu, with processor type and identical win xp professional o.s., it seems to me on ESX, execution mutex, events and corresponding waitforsingleobject is 1/10th to 1/2 the speed on the physical machine, Windows 7 instead the performance is about half of the corresponding physical machine I was wondering if anyone else noticed, this is perhaps due to how mutex/criticism sections/events/semaphores are emulated in the ESX binary translation, there are all the settings of windows xp 32 bits comments under ESX 5 to allow especially stimulate the sync speed of process/thread to make it similar to a physical machine may?

    I am attaching a small test project for vs 2005 in case anyone could take the trouble to try and compare the pure speed of physical synchronization primitives and ESX especially if in win xp there is a penalty of macroscopic speed or maybe I did something wrong as I ran the test on an overloaded perhaps ESX.

    Is it possible to wake up another process in win xp without incurring TPR registry bashing?

    I do not know.  It is not clear to me why Windows wants to change the TPR in the first place.  The TPR is to block external interruptions, and I see not why Windows would change the external interrupts are blocked, according to what level process user is active.

    I noticed that windows 7 synchronization is much faster on the same ESX with FlexPriority probably not activated, likely due to 'Lazy TPR', which I believe has been implemented in o.s. later than xp, so I guess that the more realistic prospect is to go with win 7, given I don't think that in my particular environment , I'm working on they would be willing to risk life and limb with potentially unstable FlexPriority bios patcher, has taken the fact that xp is end of life taken into charge anyway, but thanks for giving me a clue what may happen anyway.

    Windows XP 64-bit is another option.  He always denigrated on the TPR, but uses instead of MMIO CR8. (AMD hotfix did the same thing with an ISA AMD extension that allows the code to 32-bit access CR8.)

    Note also that FlexPriority is not a panacea.  It can reduce the cost of a TPR of 2000 update ~ cycles to ~ 400 cycles, but it is still far from what it costs in native mode, which is of ~ 2 cycles.

    Binary translation, TPR updates are rather cheap, but BT has its own performance issues.

    Your Windows XP guest running with binary translation or hardware-assisted virtualization?  You can check the file for 'HV Settings' vmware.log know.

    How to type vertical text from the bottom up with the right orientation for a graph?

    Hello! Below, I'll demonstrate how to have vertical text in two different ways.

    Example 1:

    1. below, I have a graph and want to label the vertical axis.

    Select the text tool, and then the Vertical text tool.

    2 with the vertical Type tool, I tap on my vertical label.

    3 with the move tool, then I can orient the text in a position desired, as shown in the examples below.

    If this isn't the desired orientation of the vertical type you would like. I have the example 2 below.

    Example 2:

    1. After typing my text vertically with the Vertical Type tool (in example 1), I want to move to a horizontal position. I can go up to the options panel and select the icon "show/hide text orientation", surrounded by below. It will pass the text back and forth between vertical and horizontal.

    2 after the passage of the text to be horizontal, I want to change the orientation of the text, so it is aligned with my vertical axis.  Go in Edit > transform > Rotate as shown below.

    3 you want to can Rotate the text as indicated below.

    4 text is not in the right position we want, so we have to move the text, as illustrated below. Press enter/return to perform the complete transformation.

    5. the text is shown below.

    Should be easy.  Try this...

    1. In thumbnail view, click the small triangle (pointing down) in the lower right corner of the asset you want to share.
    2. On the blue icon toolbar that appears, click on the share icon (the third icon from the left, just to the right of the trash icon). The sharing dialog box should appear.
    3. In the sharing dialog box, enter the e-mail address of the person with whom you want to share assets, then click on the button send an email - it will receive an email with a link to your assets. OR
    4. You can also copy a link to the asset and paste that in your own e-mail client if you wish.  To do this, click on the link icon (looks like a 'chain' and to the right of the icon to email "envelope")-then click on the button, copy the link.

    Note that stock options are not available if your asset is set to 'Private' - you can control if an asset can be seen (or downloaded) by others by clicking the control Public/private (green or red icon "lock").

    You can also access the same controls hand, if you click on the file to see him score a point (you can do display thumbnails or list view); Click on the share icon near the top right of the window of the browser (to the right of the name of the asset).
