in bulk license with PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2 broken?

• The availability of license with PowerCLI

  I'm currently collecting each host license use, but want to collect total and available on the license server licenses.  I can't see how it's done using the Perl Toolbox, but can't figure out in PowerShell.  Basically, I want the same use license information in this perl script: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9420.

  However, when I try to use the QueryLicenseSourceAvailability method, nothing is returned.  If I have access to the object browser on the host of the VC (https://vc-host/mob), it returns the info.

  Is this a limitation of the powershell tool or did I miss something?

  Thank you

• Complete the VI Client with PowerCLI Script idle Sessions

  Hello gurus PowerCLI

  I searched the net for a script PowerCLI that would end all the VI client sessions that have been inactive for x period of time.  I found a post on the forums of VMware (http://communities.vmware.com/message/914858?z=zI0r8n) but had no luck with it.  I also found a script created by A.Mikkelsen, to http://www.amikkelsen.com/?p=384 , but that one does not work either.

  Here's the actual script by A.Mikkelsen that is based on code by LucD in the forum mentioned previously.

  BEGINNING

  $oldSessions = @)

  If (($sess.)) (LastActiveTime) .addminutes ($intOlderThan) - lt (Get-Date)) {}
  $oldSessions += $sess. Key
  #write "$($sess.)". User name)'
  }
  }

  # Session terminal that are inactive for more than approved ($intOlderThan)
  $sessMgr.TerminateSession ($oldSessions)

  Disconnect-VIServer *-confirm: $false

  END

  The error message I get is:

  BEGINNING

  Exception calling 'TerminateSession' with '1' or the arguments: "it was not correct to specified parameters.

  END

  I should mention that my knowledge of PowerCLI is almost nothing, so any help in tweaking this script to make it work with PowerCLI 5.1 Release 2 and VC 5 U2 would be much appreciated.

  The error is caused by the fact that you are trying to kill your own session (if it was started long time ago).

  Apparently in vSphere 5. they included a security mechanism integrated to avoid this.

  You can take this by adding a simple test.

  ## max number of idle minutes for sessions to keep$intOlderThan = 60$serviceInstance = Get-View 'ServiceInstance'## get the session manager object$sessMgr = Get-View $serviceInstance.Content.sessionManager## array to hold info about stale sessions$oldSessions = @()foreach ($sess in $sessMgr.SessionList){    if (($sess.LastActiveTime).addminutes($intOlderThan) -lt (Get-Date) -and          $sess.Key -ne $sessMgr.CurrentSession.Key){        $oldSessions += $sess.Key    } ## end if} ## end foreach
  
  ## if there are any old sessions, terminate them; else, just write message to the Warning streamif (($oldSessions | Measure-Object).Count -gt 0) {    ## Terminate sessions than are idle for longer than approved ($intOlderThan)    $sessMgr.TerminateSession($oldSessions)} ## end ifelse {Write-Warning "No sessions that have been idle for more than '$intOlderThan' minutes; no action taken"}
  

• PowerCLI 5.8 Release 1 throws an exception when starting

  So I decided to upgrade my PowerCLI 5.5 R2 Patch 1 to the latest 5.8, released the last week or two. (Yes, I know, I guess I decided to live dangerously, using new versions :-)))  And the upgrade installation went well. But when I run PowerCLI, I get:

  Add-PSSnapin: the initializer for type for 'VMware.VimAutomation.Storage.Interop.V1.Service.StorageServiceFactory' threw an exception.

  C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1:48 tank: 10

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: System.TypeInitializationException, Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.AddPSSnapinCommand

  Someone knows why? I didn't update the vSphere CLI, just PowerCLI. I was still able to connect to my vCenter (I connect to my vCenter in my profile). But I don't know what will not work. I did a quick 'Get-VMHost', "Get - VM" and a few others - they are all working well.

  Ideas, anyone? Should I roll back to 5.5? Anyone else having problems?

  An update. We have improved our environment to 5.5 (all ESXi hosts and vCenter). Therefore, I improved my heavy client installation. So I decided to try again after update my Powershell to 5.8.

  And then everything just worked. No error at startup of Powershell. All respond as it should.

  Can't imagine why the 2 would be connected, but no matter, I am now under 5.8 on my Windows 7 workstation.

• Impossible to find PowerCLI 5.5 release 1 download location

  Hi all

  I was wondering if someone can tell me PowerCLI 5.5 release 1 installation file. I need to install on Windows 2012 PowerCLI and as far as I know, this is the only version that supports Windows 2012. Unfortunately I can not find the download location for this tool, only the documentation for it. Any help would be appreciated.

  Best regards

  Hello LucD,

  Thanks for your suggestion, I tried to install PowerCLI on different station and it worked, which confirmed that I have a problem with this particular system instead of the version of it.

  I was also able to successfully install PowerCLI 5.5 on designated server (it was important for me because it is the only physical server in the environment and I need virtual shutdown in case of power failure).

  The solution was easy, so I thought: I had to install all the updates from Windows Update since December of 2013 (that was the last time updates have been installed), after that (and the restart of the ofc) PowerCLI 5.5 installation went very well.

  Thanks for your help and your time - I really appreciate your efforts.

  Best regards

• Handling of keys with powerCLI

  I need to add and remove keys vCetner with powerCLI.  My hope was to add new keys to a txt or csv type file and run a small powerCLI script to remove old keys and add the new keys in the file.  I'm sure I can find a way extract the file, but I do not know what commands PowerCLI to use to control the vCenter.

  Does anyone know how to do this?

  Or at least point me in the right direction (perhaps with a few power CLI commands, I can't find any dealing with adding or deleting key.)?

  Have you already checked my post to license of vCenter ?

  Currently, there are no cmdlets for managing licenses, but it's pretty easy to call the PowerCLI SDK API.

• AnyConnect 4.0 license with ASA-5515-FPWR

  Hi all

  I have a small question, where I can't find a clear answer for:

  A customer wants to buy a new ASA for a showroom. He wants to connect 30 phones VPN and 60 VPN users, where only 10 of them are simultaneously connected. Then we would have two choices now

  -Either go with the 3.5 Anyconnect licensing, with a premium SSL 50 license and activation phones VPN and mobility AC licenses

  - Or go to AC 4.0 license, where we would have to license 100 users with MORE licenses.

  My questions are:

  -Can I any other / more license on the SAA (i.e. SSL)

  -Where to install the license

  -How is the number of users (i.e. of the ad groups, local accounts)

  Is there a documentation clearly indicating the answers

  Thank you all for your help.

  If you want that the phone itself to be the endpoint remote VPN access, then Yes - you need VPN phone license which requires in turn AnyConnect Premium (for 3.x installations)

  "Plus" AnyConnect (for 4.x) includes 'VPN functionality for PC and mobile platforms, including per-app VPN on mobile platforms and phone Cisco VPN' (referring to the January 2015 of the ordering Guide AnyConnect 4.0 version)

• Can we can implement App - V license with the SMB file streaming

  Hello

  We are currently in place a complete infrastructure of App-V 4.6 SP2 in our Organization, and we have all applications stored in a SMB file server. We have two App - V Management servers related to a balancerto load. In addition, we have configured the ApplicationSourceRoot registry key in the machines of Client pointing to the SMB file server. The flow of applications successfully from the SMB file server. So far everything was fine.

  However, when we try to implement the licensing options we see that App - V licenses work with RTSP protocols. In addition, we tried all the best we can, but we could not implement RTSP streaming from a SMB file server.  Protocol of RTSP protocol leader changes: / / with the use of the ApplicationSourceRoot registry key.

  Can anyone suggest a work around for this problem, where we can implement App - V license with the spreading of the SMB file?

  Thank you

• How can I get the version of VMware to virtual machines with powercli officer?

  How can I get the version of VMware View Agent running on a virtual machine with powercli or view Powercli?

  As much as I know there is no cmdlet PowerCLI for this, but you can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and interrogate the Win32_Product class.

  By running the following. You can add a Where clause to return only the Agent of the view

• $global: variable defaultVIServer gets replaced by data warehouses in PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2

  I recently noticed a strange behavior with the variables global:defaultVIServer(s) of $.

  The content has been change in the middle of my script. especially after sub $global: defaultVIServer.Name

  10.10.10.10 for 10.10.10.10@443

  For some reason any port number was getting stuck at the end of the name field, which failed in the cmdlet Test-connection (ping).

  After some research, I went down to my use of the global variable of VMware, vmstores

  The following line replaces $global: defaultVIServer

  $dsList = (dir-path vmstores :)

  Code snippet

  to connect-VIServer $vctIP

  Global $: defaultVIServer | FL

  $dsList = (dir-path vmstores :)

  Global $: defaultVIServer | FL

  $dsList | FL

  
  

  You can see that $global: defaultVIServer gets replaced by the data of $dsList after the dir command

  Screenshots are attached.

  
  

  At least, I have to unplug my server and reconnect to solve this problem.

  
  

  Is there a better way to get the list of warehouses of data (and their paths) with PowerCLI 6.0?
  

  Maureen

  I only call this command in one place in my scripts, so I tested for a '@' char in the $global: variable DefaultViServer after this call and if I find it then I disconnect and reconnect to my servers.  This version fixes the global variable, which I use in other places in my scripts.

  I didn't change my scripts having to use the other variable, $global: DefaultVIServer.ServiceUri.Host,.

  because it would have been a little more difficult.

  In addition, when the bug fix is implemented, I won't change my scripts.

  Extracted from:

  foreach ($server in $global: DefaultViServers)

  {

  # check if @ tank is in the name; i.e. @port_number

  If ($server. Name - match ' @')

  {

  # split the name IP address and port number

  $serverNameList = $server. Name.Split('@')

  Disconnect $serverNameList VIServer [0]

  sleep - 1 seconds

  SE $serverNameList connect-VIServer [0]

  }

  }
