How to view information about the name of a disk file?

I'm trying to get information on all the disks that are "persistent" with Get-view mode. Everything works except @{N = "Filename"; E = {$vm. Config.Hardware.Device.Backing.FileName}}

$VMs = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine. Where {-not $_.} Config.Template}

$Result = @({ForEach ($vm to $VMs)

$vdisk = $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.VirtualDisk] - and ($_.)} Backing.DiskMode - eq "persistent" - and $_. Backing.DiskMode - eq "independent_nonpersistent")}

If {($vdisk)

$vdisk | Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},

@{N = "NonPersistentMode"; E={$_. DeviceInfo.Label}},

@{N = "CapacityGB"; E={$_.capacityInKB/1024/1024}},

@{N = "Filename"; E = {$vm. Config.Hardware.Device.Backing.FileName}}

}

})

$Result

This script is inspired by this one:

Get - VM | % {Get-disk hard - VM $_______ |} Where {$_.} Persistence - eq "IndependentPersistent" - or $_. Persistence - eq "IndependentNonPersistent"}}. Select the Parent, name, CapacityGB, Filename, DiskType, persistence, ScsiCanonicalName | Export CSV VMs_Persistent_Mode.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

I see in https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.vm.device.VirtualDevice.FileBackingInfo.html#fileName we have property "Filename", but I don't know what to call it in this case.

Try something like this

$diskModes = [VMware.Vim.VirtualDiskMode]: independent_nonpersistent [VMware.Vim.VirtualDiskMode]: nonpersistent

foreach ($vm in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine - property Name, Config.Hardware.Device - Filter @{'Config.Template ' =' False'})) {}

$vm. Config.Hardware.Device |

where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.VirtualDisk] - and $diskModes - contains $_.} Backing.DiskMode} |

Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},

@{N = 'Disc'; E={$_. DeviceInfo.Label}},

@{N = 'Mode'; E={$_. Backing.DiskMode}},

@{N = "CapacityGB"; {E = {$_.capacityInKB/1 MB}},

@{N = "Filename"; E={$_. Backing.FileName}}

}

To get the updated code syntax highlight, I currently use the PowerShell ISE addon from Windows PowerShell ISE V3: copy as HTML module

  • How to retrieve information about the network (NIC) for each computer virtual (vim, perl)

    Hello

    I have this simple code to retrieve the name of the VirtualMachines in my infrastructure (filtered for data center)

    [.. .other code...]

    use VMware::VILib;
    OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);
    OPTS::parse();
    OPTS::Validate();

    I have seen that there are being managed - network, property of the VirtualMachine managed - object, but I don't know how to use it in my code and if contains the information I need (maybe "Summary")

    Example here is one:

    network-examples.jpg

    in this case, I would like to know for this virtual machine

    (1) LANBACKUP...; dvPP_LABO...; dvp_LABO...

    and if it is possible information 2) and 3) for each NIC... in this case for NIC LANBAKUP...

    Flexible 2)

    (3) connected to the power supply: Yes

    Can you help me to integrate my code to retrieve the information above?

    Thank you very much, for your help.

    I realized prior extraction DVS elements:

    My $dv_switches = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'DistributedVirtualSwitch', properties-online ['name', 'uuid']);

    Then, you can search by UUID:

    ($this_dvs) = grep {$_-> eq {'uuid'} $the_uuid} @$dv_switches;

    This will give you the best performance as well, since you don't have to hit the API for each request (just the first effective request DVS).  You can add additional DVSwitch object data if you need it in your logic.

    Activate loggingDebug for/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductLookup in dyn/admin component browser and you can get more information about what might happen. If everything else is fine, cause most likely failure here could be that the product you want to search for is not for the current catalog. You can validate this by adding the parameter open wrongCatalog to your ProductLookup.

    If this is the case of the catalog wrong then you need explicitly setting catalog also gout ProductLookup. Note that this parameter to the ProductLookup of droplets must be of the type of repository, so you have to resolve in the first catalogue through the post-search and then move the element output as the value to the parameter catalog catalog. It would be something like this:

    
      
      
      
        catalog is....
    
        
          
          
          <%-- OR  --%>
          
          
            
            
          
          
            WRONG CATALOG!!!
          
        
    
      
    
    

    I hope this helps.

  • How to be informed about the events of limited resources

    Is there a listener that you can attach to your application and receive messages when the unit is low on resources?

    From time to time my application gets a little loading icon in the middle that makes the whole device freeze for a few seconds and then continue as normal.

    LowMemoryListener would fail anyway.  It gives you the opportunity to free objects that you don't need really.  But until the garbage collector runs, will always be the objects of place, and it's the garbage collector runs it causing you problems.

    I found in the past that you can get the quick wins to optimize the use of your Bitmaps.  For example, you can load at startup of the application and use the loaded single copy with your application, as it is possible to have two or more BitmapFields using the same Bitmap.  Loading of these only once can translate into a great saving on memory usage and garbage collection works, all the more that they need to get contiguous bytes (at least that is my understanding).  You can do similar things to files, say its workload once bytes and use bytes as a ByteArrayInputStream to the player.  So by sharing resources and do not recreate these you significantly reduce your memory footprint and improve performance.

    Record this value in UserData structure so it will be available in the model. http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2012/05/solution-for-sharing-global-user-data.html

    Then use as default expression for your objects of entity attributes (something like: adf.userSession.userData.yourUserDataVar).

    Don't know what you're saying in post #2. Sorry, just an old geezer with a considerably weakened brain here.

    Regarding the original post, select the entire image (A Command on Mac, Ctrl-A in Windows), and then A (Ctrl A) to create a new document of the same exact size, then control V to paste the Clipboard command and finally to save the file under a new name and the format of your choice.

    You now have an identical file but without any EXIF info.

  • Non-compliant WMI when retrieving information about the same exact machine

    For some time, WMI has reported the following information some machine:
    Win32_ComputerSystem\Model = "HP EliteBook 8560p.
    Win32_ComputerSystem\Manufacturer = "Hewlett-Packard".

    One day, WMI has reported the following:
    Win32_ComputerSystem\Model = "161A___".
    Win32_ComputerSystem\Manufacturer = "HPQOEM".

    A few days later, WMI is returned for having reported the usual:
    Win32_ComputerSystem\Model = "HP EliteBook 8560p.
    Win32_ComputerSystem\Manufacturer = "Hewlett-Packard".

    Is there a way to 'reset' WMI so it retrieves information constantly?

    What similar (and different) for prior experience (different machines).

    The usual case is:
    Win32_ComputerSystem\UserName = DOM-user
    where:
    DOM is the domain of the user (in uppercase)
    the user is the user name (all lowercase)

    But sometimes WMI recovered:
    Win32_ComputerSystem\UserName = DOM- USER
    where:
    the username was all uppercase.   Apparently caused when the machine into hibernation

    or

    Win32_ComputerSystem\UserName = DOM- dom -user
    where:
    the field of user uppercase followed by domain user in all lowercase letters.  Never explained.

    I use WMI to develop an ID for purposes of the license, so it is extremely important that WMi systematically extract information.

    The problem with username is solvable.

    However, the model with randomness and Manfacturer seem more problematic.
