  • How to keep or ignore the UUID when you power on a virtual machine

    We have a scenario where we are mirror of VMs from one site to another site for BCP which has a separate instance of the VC.

    We pre-record the virtual computers hosted NFS in virtual center.

    When we need to recover break us the mirror and power on the machine.

    VC then promp with the question, you want to keep or throw the UUID.

    How can be script as its easy to answer a few virtual machines but a pain for possibly up to a hundred?

    There are a few things to keep in mind when you want to start the guests and answer the question in this way.

    (1) the Start-VM cmdlet will wait for the prompt to start, but there is a question waiting it will never happen.

    ==> the solution is to use the Start-VM cmdlet with the parameter -RunAsync , this way the cmdlet will not wait.

    (2) when a client starts, it will take some time before the issue appears.

    ==> the solution is to wait until the question is displayed with a loop

    (3) to get the current status of the prompt, the script needs to get the VirtualMachine object with each pass through the loop.

    The properties of the $vm variable are not automatically updated unless the script retrieves the object with the cmdlet Get-View.

    (4) the purpose of the Question is present when the question is displayed. Prior to this point, this object is $null.

    ==> to avoid execution of the StartsWith method on a $null object if statement first checks to see if the object in Question is present.

    The script relies on the fact that the two conditions that are combined with - and the operator are executed from left to right.

    This is probably not a good programming practice and should be solved by using two nested If statements.

    The following script implements all the points made above.

    Note that it can only be used for the issue of msg.uuid.moved.

    The script responses with choice 2 which is the choice of 'keep '.

    $qMsgUuidMoved = "msg.uuid.moved:"
    $choiceKeep = 2
    
    $vmImpl = Get-VM "TestPC"
    $vmImpl | Start-VM -RunAsync
    
    do{
      $vm = $vmImpl | Get-View
      if($vm.Runtime.Question -ne $null -and $vm.Runtime.Question.Text.StartsWith($qMsgUuidMoved)){
        $vm.AnswerVM($vm.Runtime.Question.Id, $choiceKeep)
      }
    } until ($vm.Runtime.PowerState -ne "poweredoff")
    
    Write-Host $vm.Name "started"
    
  • Receive error message when converting 5.1 VSphere virtual machine using VMWare Converter

    I am moving some Virtual Machines out of my server for VSphere, using VMWare Converter. When I select the source of success and the machine then I get a "failed to get hardware information for the selected computer". I tried two different machines. One is a Windows 7 and the other is a Windows Server 2003. The end of the game is to move them to a server with only VMWare Workstation.

    The research I've seen some users corrected it by changing the OS of the VM, but that did not help me. I have attached the diagnostic logs. Any help is appreciated.

    You must use the latest version of Converter 5.0.1 - 5.0 does not work

  • How to display an automatic alert message?

    I'm listening to incoming e-mail messages and must display an alert if an incoming message arrives with a HIGH priority.

    I can listen and view a message using System.out.println. But I can't able to show a Dialog.alert ("new E-mail message");

    It shows the following error message:

    "" Eception exception: pushModalScreen called by a thread of non-event ".

    I tried to call through invokeLater, but both EventQueue and SwingUtilities are not available with BlackBerry JDE 4.7.0.41

    How can I display an alert automatically, when a new HIGH-priority message arrives? Is all classes available for this purpose?

  • How to specify the file of virtual hard disk when you create a new virtual machine using virtual hard disk on the data store?

    I'm new to PowerCLI and find quite simple, but in the documentation I read, I don't see how to use a virtual hard drive, existing on a data store when you create a new virtual machine.

    Is this simple registration on the virtual hard disk, or did I miss something?

    My current create VM is the following statement:

    New-VM

    -Name $TargetHostName -host $TargetVMCenterHost -data store $TargetVMCenterDatastore DiskMB - 20000 -MemoryMB $TargetHostMemoryMB -NumCPU $TargetHostCPUs -ID $TargetHostOS -CD -Description $TargetHostName

    Didn't notice this before, but I think that vSphere will use a backslash instead of a slash in the paths.

    Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    I'm using a USB-6210/a. data acquisition, and it works fine until I have to take a longer than 10 s waveform.
