How to use PowerOnVM() and PowerOnVM_Task()

Hi all

I have created a virtual machine in the following way:

$newVM = new-VM-name $vmName - model $templateObject - ResourcePool $r - OSCustomizationSpec $osSpec - $d - $folderObject location Datastore - DiskStorageFormat $dsFormat
I have to run the following command to get the .net object:
$nVM = $newVM | Get-View
Now, I want to power on the virtual machine, using the following text:
$nVM.PowerOnVM)
$nVM.PowerOnVM_Task)
They return an error message:
Could not find an overload for the 'PowerOnVM' and the number of arguments: "0".
On line: 1 char: 15
+ $nVM.PowerOnVM < < < <)
+ CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:)) [], MethodException)
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: MethodCountCouldNotFindBest
1. what I am doing wrong?
2. How can I get more information on this kind of cmdlets?
Thank you
Yaniv

Hi Yaniv,

According to the PowerOnVM SDK method requires a parameter. You can specify the ManagedObjectReference of a host. Or you can specify $null. In this case, the virtual machine is started on the associated host.

$nVM.PoweronVM ($null)

But why not use the Start-VM cmdlet to start the virtual machine?

$newVM | Start-VM

If you use the PowerShell Get-Member cmdlet, you can see the methods and properties object. For example:

$nVM | Get-Member

Best regards, Robert

  • How to use 3DES and RAS

    Hi all I have need to write encryption and decryption using 3DES and RSA .can any please tell me how to write this.

    I thought that the examples given are clear enough.  For example, the method you gave

    Encrypt (plaintext byte [], int ciphertextOffset, int plaintextOffset, byte [] ciphertext)
    crypt encrypted just bytes of plaintext into ciphertext, from plaintextOffset put the bytes from ciphertextOffset.  Little about exactly what the JavaDoc says!

    If you do not understand how to use a specific encryption algorithm, then the code will be confusing.  In this case, I suggest that go you through the external documentation on these algorithms and they way they should be used, before looking at the code.  Search the internet, there is a lot of information on these algorithms out there.  And there is lot to understand, with the filling and the different approaches to block, which complicates the basic encryption code.  And it's just 3DES!

    But if you are struggling with a specific part of the code, please feel free to paste it here and ask about it.

    BTW, the code examples are related to each of the class pages, read the documentation at the beginning for the links.

    Thank you

    You can't do all the work with SUBSTR and INSTR; you need regular expressions to obtain a string delimited by a #.

    Once you have such a string, then you can use SUBSTR and INSTR (instead of REGEXP_SUBSTR) to get the separate secondary strings:

    WITH got_delimited_string AS

    (

    SELECT REGEXP_REPLACE (val

    , '\. ([^ .]| $)'

    , '#\1'

    ) AS delimited_string

    FROM the data

    )

    got_pos AS

    (

    SELECT delimited_string

    , INSTR (delimited_string, "#", 1, 1) AS pos_1

    , INSTR (delimited_string, "#", 1, 2), pos_2

    , INSTR (delimited_string, "#", 1, 3) AS pos_3

    , INSTR (delimited_string, "#", 1, 4) AS pos_4

    , INSTR (delimited_string, "#", 1, 5) AS pos_5

    , INSTR (delimited_string, "#", 1, 6) AS pos_6

    OF got_delimited_string

    )

    SELECT SUBSTR (delimited_string, 1, pos_1 - 1) AS the name

    SUBSTR (delimited_string, pos_1 + 1, pos_2 - (pos_1 + 1)) AS address

    SUBSTR (delimited_string, pos_2 + 1, pos_3 - (pos_2 + 1)) AS city

    SUBSTR (delimited_string, pos_3 + 1, pos_4 - (pos_3 + 1)) AS State

    REPLACE (SUBSTR (delimited_string, pos_4 + 1, pos_5 - (pos_4 + 1))

    , '.'

  • UK keyboard - how to use characters and Portuguese accents?

    I just moved to the United Kingdom and bought a computer here. Obviously, the ti came with a UK keyboard. But I often need to write in Portuguese and need to use accents and other characters for which there is no letters on the keyboard.

    I know that I can always use the character map to copy and paste these characters, but it is very inconvenient to write a large text in this way, not to mention the counter productive because it completely breaks the workflow.

    I know that I can also install files and use the keyboard as Oortuguese (Brazilian ABNT or ABNTII) but then I meet similar workflow problems given that the keys will not match what they actually type and will take time to get adjusted so be it.

    Is it possible to do just the keyboard write in a foreign language as well and still write in English and Portuguese, without problems?

    I had a similar problem - computer bought in England but used mainly in Switzerland. I put the keyboard to be "French of Switzerland" that gives me access to diacritics, I need to write in French and in German (and because I learned to touch type here). To put the keyboard to another language go to control panel and choose keyboard. The process is a bit messy, but it does not work OK. Everything else remains in English (interface OS, menus and so on).

    The problem of course with this method is that what you see on the keyboard does not match what you see on the screen (the keyboard Switzerland is not too bad, about 90% of the keys are the same as a UK keyboard). If you touch type, which is not a real problem. If this is a problem, then you can consider using a separate Portuguese external keyboard. I've also seen people put little stickers on keys (if they tend to fade pretty quickly!)

  • How to use headphones and speakers at the same time

    I want to use headphones at the same time that I use the speakers.

    I am hard of hearing and need the LOUD volume. When others are watching a film, projected on HDTV, they won't let me turn the volume up to where I need it, which is why, headphones and speakers at the same time.

    I use Windows 7, I want to stick with Windows 7, so I want a Windows 7 solution.

    If there is no solution for Windows 7 and there is a solution using Windows 10, then and then only, I will be upgrading to Windows 10.

    Using headphones and speakers was possible under Windows XP. I think that a kid at Microsoft, with a regular audience, thought this feature was redundant and removed. Large.

    Macs will play through the headphones and speakers, so maybe it's time to buy a Mac!

    Hi Bob,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    Hello

    Hmm in my opinion you can only seek to create a second partition on your HARD drive and then install the Win98 on that partition.
    Windows vista supports the clean boot manager and you should be able to choose between the two BONES-> Vista or Win98

    Legacy applications, you can run it on the Win98 and if you want to use Vista you can choose the option in the Boot Manager and Vista will start.

  • How to use offset and multiplier in waveform graph?

    Hello

    X 0 is the offset, and X is the multiplier.  If the graph will start at an offset issue and will be aa at the time value delta multiplier.

    for example

    If you have these X-values normal: 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 and a multiplier of 2 and 5 ofset you would get the result on the X - as = 5; 7; 9; 11; 13

  • How to use paragraph and character styles properly?

    I have a document in which the text has two colors (which has no style)

    Black (normal) and Red (to highlight the keywords).

    I needed to put these 2 in a style

    (black) paragraph style

    (red) character style

    Here's my question.

    How can I make sure that when I use the paragraph style, she also uses the style of character but only on the Red words?

    While I need not find/replace every word manually

    I want to do at once.

    If you want to add styles to a document already created:

    (1) create your character style that contains only the color of the characters

    (2) search and replace a text with red color search and replace with the new character style formatting. (Do not type anything in the text portion of the find and Replace dialog box)

    (3) create and apply your paragraph style to all. The text with the applied character Style will stay red.

    What we need to do:

    The number of forms you'll be colecting will be a problem then. When you enable a document signed and recorded with Acrobat Pro and you distribute the form to more than 500 recipients, you are limited by the license agreement Acrobat from not more than 500 cases of the form data that was provided to you, including paper copies.

    You can avoid this limitation by allowing the reader to the document using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server product, but this can be expensive. There used to be an Adobe authorized third party (FormRouter.com) which could compatible reader of individual documents so that you wouldn't have to license Reader Extensions yourself. I heard that they are is no longer allowed, but you might want to contact them to make sure.

    It is not difficult to set up a new digital ID. You can try it yourself to see what it is.

    Adobe also has the new EchoSign service available, then you might wish to consider to see if it can meet your needs: http://www.echosign.com/
