identification of the Director of virtual cloud into vCloud API

Hello

VCloud API, we can try to identify a computer virtual questioning his AdminVMRecord and by comparing these attributes:

  • AdminVMRecord.id
  • AdminVMRecord.vc
  • AdminVMRecord.vdc
  • AdminVMRecord.org

I think it's safe to uniquly identify each VM in the vcloud, but what happens if I have two different sets of vcloud, which means I have two separate virtual-cloud-Director?

Is it possible to acquire information of identification-virtual-cloud-Director via vCloud api?

Thanks for comments in advance.

To uniquely identify a virtual machine or any object in an instance of vCloud Director (several cells), at least in VCD 1.5, you must use its ID (format URN)

for example urn: vcloud:vm:71d5b81a-f82d-495a-9e58-4b95a645c841

If you need identify different vCloud Director forums, you can always use the same ID, but you'll want to capture the href that includes the host name of the VCD instance and if you break the href you will see that it includes the ID of the object as well.

for example https://vcd1/api/vApp/vm-71d5b81a-f82d-495a-9e58-4b95a645c841

  • The transfer server storage shared for vcloud Director cells

    Hello

    I'm building a cluster of vCloud Director (3 guests) in our environment, but I was wondering about transfer server shared storage that is required for downloads and uploads the data among all cells, here is that excerpts from the Director Cloud installation guide for the same

    ==============================================================================================================

    To provide temporary storage for uploads and downloads, shared storage must be accessible to all hosts in a cluster of clouds Director. The amount of storage to transfer server must have permissions writable by root. Each host must ride this storage $VCLOUD_HOME

    / Data/Transfer (in general transfer/opt/vmware/cloud-director/data/transfer). Uploads and downloads are the storage for a short time (a few hours a day), but because the transferred images can be large, allocate at least several hundred gigabytes at this volume.

    =============================================================================================================

    I have some questions related to this,

    1. can I use storage iSCSI for this "shared forwarding server storage" or only a NFS storage will do.

    2 storage is recommended according to the prospective of VMware.

    3. If anyone has references to the configuration for this storage documentation, please let me know.

    Thank you

    Keryan

    It is not explicitly stated above all because there are several options and alternatives.

    NFS is by far the easiest and also the easiest to wear but CIFS, for example, would work.  Like any other technique of file-sharing system that makes the blob of data readable and accessible in writing of all cells at the same time.

    iSCSI is not enough to really say yes or no to the subject.  If you have a shared several cells and do iscsi lun on it ext3 file system, then the cells will tear system metadata of file into pieces in a relatively short deadline, because ext3fs is not designed to be multi-homed.

    This isn't a limitation of iSCSI, or a lun SAN, or tours with virtual machines to share the same file several VMS vmdk, is put on top of this file system.

  • Get the object of StoragePod storage profiles [vCloud Director]

    Hi all

    I'm automating DTS stuff for the creation of new vApps in vCloud Director and I want to integrate and use the workflow to Change Storage DRS by virtual machine configuration , but to do this I need to provide him with an object of type VC:StoragePod...  I have worked out how to get the default storage of each virtual computer profile, but may not know how to get to the StoragePod that it covers.

    Don't laugh, but I only managed to get this far before getting stuck:

    var vms = vApp.getChildrenVms();
    for each (var vm in vms) {
     storageProfile = vm.storageProfile;
     ....
    }
    

    Can someone show me how to get a StoragePod of a profile of storage object ideally default virtual machines?

    Thank you!

    Have you had the opportunity to see this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/2147437#2147437 - it seems debating what you are interested... The catch here is that you are trying to do from the side the cloud... I can't look at this right now, but I suspect that you MUST have access to the underlying infrastructure to do what you ask... in this case, you will need to extract the object from VC:VirtualMachine of your vCloud:VM object, then the thread above can deepen assistance.

  • is there a upgade to 64 basic machines? I'm trying to untangle windowsmedia who plays up. It makes the directories and then does not recognize them.

    I download mp3s in their own directories, which usually come with the download. The media puts them all together, in a group and puts the mp3s where they should be, but that said, windows maintains media that he does not recognize the directories it has put itself so it is just keps saying that downloads, even if they are just mp3s as usual, in fact nothing has changed except the windows media itself which does not recognize what is put into it. I also use pen drives and have passed the sycronising according to most of my music on their site. Windows media play, cutting CD synchronous, etc.. She just can't trust if you see what I mean. It keeps telling me to buy when I play some of my songs, which I stopped sharing lately because he intervened to make my own CD, and then he would start trying to download music from me and make a mess of me trying to make my own CD. I was hopeing that someone would have an answer or could tell me where and what to do about this. I am all ideas now. Thanks in advance

    Please provide the following diagnostic information:

  • The Action status external cloud connector

    By writing my cloud connector, I came across a few inconsitencies dealing with the status of a Contact in a stage of program generator.

    1. when a contact is added to a stage and I click 'View the Contacts' in the program generator, the contact's status said "pending Action".  When I use my connector cloud to call ListMembersInStepByStatus, however, there is no contact of the AwaitingAction ExternalActionStatus.

    2. after 15 minutes, the program is evaluated for the first time and the status of the contact in the said program generator now "Action underway or planned".  Now when I call ListMembersInStep, he finds the contact in the AwaitingActionStatus.

    3. I use my connector cloud to call SetMemberStatus to set the status of the external action in full contact.  The status of the contact in the program generator still says "Current or planned Action" until the program is evaluated again contact moves this step.

    What is the desired behavior?  I think I should be able to get the contact in the State of AwaitingAction as soon as it is added to the stage and under 'View the Contacts' status would take into account the ExternalActionStatus.

  • Create the list of virtual machines to exclude the script through .csv file?

    Hello

    I have a script that runs all day off hours to check my VMs respect some things, like having the option to 'VM tools upgrade policy' checked. The script will export a list of virtual machines that DO NOT have this option enabled and then later to fix the problem. Now, for some specific VMS, I don't want to have the option active and want to exclude them from this review. I try to add a list of these virtual machines I want to exclude from my check script of VMTools_UpgradePolicy via a .csv file containing their names. Here's what I have:

    ##############################################
    #VMTools update during the feeding cycle - report
    ##############################################
    function Report_VMTools_UpgradePolicy {}
    $list = import-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\EXCLUDE LIST\EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv".
    foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name}
    $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
    $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
    }

    The content of the EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv is as follows:

    'Name '.
    "VM1.
    "VM2.

    "VM3.

    I try to get all the virtual machines in my environment who have the ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual' (unchecked), AND which do not match any of the names on my list of exclusions (VM1, VM2, VM3). My script so far will do what I want, except that only the last entry in my list of exclusions will take into account. VM1 and VM2 will still be reported as VMs that need to be addressed.

    I'm not sure that I am taking the right approach with this, I will continue to seek a solution for what I want, but any help would be appreciated! I prefer to make my list of exclusion to a separate file, for example "EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv", because I want that other administrators to be able to just open this .csv file and add virtual machines to this list without having to touch my scripts.

    Thank you!

    Vince

    Hi Vince,.

    It is like that I think because of your statement:

    foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name} -> it
    $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
    $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
    }

    $exclude is a variable that contains only 1 entry., that's why you see only the last element inside. It will not be an array.

    foreach ($entry in $list) {[string []]+ $exclude = Get-VM-name $entry.} Name}

    This will fill $exclude table with entries of string that will contain the names of virtual machine.

    And when you will be comparing. I think you should use

    where {$exclude - notcontains $_.} Name - and... the rest

    Kind regards

  • Can someone help me with the error message "Creative Cloud Files folder missing"?

    Hello

    I'm on a Mac (OS X 10.10.1) and recently changed the folder name 'users' of my system to something else. I think that I followed all the steps correctly Apple to make sure that my user account name and the directory of the user are in alignment after the change. However, the creative cloud do not update the extension / address of the location to sync files. I went into the preferences of creative Cloud and saw the location of the file ' ' was still announcing the former name for the folder my Mac user. I used the dropdown to select 'Other' and then selected the folder of the newly appointed user. Creative application Cloud then began loading (presumably to restore the sync connection), but then gave me the same error again. When I return in Cloud creative preferences, the location of the file ' ' now shows the newly named good, user folder, but I still get the same error message every time I try to turn on sync. Even with the correct file shown as the 'file location', the error message always refers to the old extension / address of the location of the file.

    How can I get Creative cloud to update the address of the file? He seems to have accepted my change the 'location', but the address of the file itself has not been updated.

    FYI: clicking 'Restore' option does not at all help. It produces just the same pop-up over and over again until I got disabling sync.

    UPDATE: I restarted my computer and went through the same exact process above and now looks be it resolved itself. the error message no longer appears after that I have turn on sync. In my opinion, everything works fine now. Basically, it seems that the solution is to completely reboot your computer.

  • 'No operating system found' when you create the new machine virtual de DVD

    Hi, I had problems with the creation of a new machine virtual (Server 2008 R2).  After the initial creation, I turn on - then starts immediately to the network.  I tried to change the boot order in the BIOS and even removed the NIC via Virtual Machine properties.  I built VMs repeatedly using this method.  I use an ISO DVD that I know, I created works.  I select "connect to E:\. "that is my DVD drive on my laptop and have restarted (loses connection every time the DVD player).  I even changed the type of E1000 VMXNET3 network adapter - makes no difference.

    I feel good and truiy perplexed!

    Any ideas?

    You can connect the ISO remote only when the virtual machine is running.

    I suggest you set a delay (or get into the BIOS), in the property of the VM, press ESC during POST to enter the Boot Menu, select CD but wait to confirm.

    Connect the ISO and now start to begin.
