Instant removal Script

I'm looking for a script that I can run once a month to clean the old clichés. The problem is that I have several clusters where the snapshots should not be deleted (parent Exchange or office images).

Someone has experienced something like this and have examples of what they were doing?

Thank you

Try like this, it won't like the snapshots on virtual machines in Cluster1 and Cluster2.

$excludeClusters = 'Cluster1', 'Cluster2.

$now = get-Date

Get-Cluster | where {$excludeClusters - notcontains $_.} Name} |

Get - VM | Get-Snapshot | where {(New-TimeSpan-démarrer $_.)} Created - end $now). TotalDays - gt 14} |

Select the virtual machine, created name

    How can I remove these "scripts" or whatever they are.

    It is so annoying, I removed them from the script folder and now they stop working and will not disappear. I tried to remove all scripts, reinstall AE, reset back to factory settings. Nothing works and I can't find anything online. Help please!

  • Issue of instant removal - remove all * but * the most recent snapshot

    I have a question. I have a virtual machine, where my user has made 3 snapshots - #1, then #2, then 3 #, then #4. This user was told that he needs to last snapshot and not instant intermediaries.

    I should be able to just remove them in the reverse order - #3, then #2, #1 - leaving only #4 as the unique snapshot. And that should be all that I need, to have #4 the snapshot only I can come back? And - most importantly - the disk space. I need to remove the #1-#3 to retrieve data store space.

    This should not cause problems, correct? I'm more used to the deletion of snapshots in reverse order - #1, #2, #3, #4...

    No problem at all.

    Snapshot depend on its snapshot / parent disk. So when you delete snapshot #3 its just data merge with snapshot #2. Then snapshot #4 is now dependent on instant #2.

    If you delete Snapshots #1,2,3 now the snapshot #4 changed the disc relative as the source for the blocks in all committed snapshots.

  • Probability of success of 3 to capture instant removal if system itself takes about 3 TB and he left only about 70 GB of space on the VMFS5 partion (vSphere 5.1)

    Hello.

    I have a problem... Computer virtual located on the storage VMFS5 vSphere 5.1 partition has 3 files vmdk (1 for each partition of data under windows 2008 server, ~ 1 TB each). There were snapshot taken by this system, which currently used almost all of the space available on the storage partition. I need to remove this snapshot, it is no longer necessary, but he doubts if there is enough free space left on that partition to detele instant (~ 70 GB on the left). I would be able remove snapshot or I get this operation migrate VM to a different data store VMFS5 with more space to this topic?

    It depends on whether the virtual disks are provisioned thin or thick. With thin configured virtual disks you will probably not be able to delete snapshots, because basic disks may develop. However, with thick, configured virtual disks basic disks will be will develop not just yet, so delete the snapshots should work without problems with the virtual machine off! Remove the snapshot with a virtual machine under tension will create snapshots of assistance, which will develop according to the activity of the virtual machine and cause a problem of out-of-disk space.

  • Report to capture instant daily script to send an email offline?

    Hi people,

    I know that in VCenter, we can set the alarm to send us an email to OPEN the snapshot that is actively growing at the host ESX (i), but in this case, I have different cases to manage, it is CLOSED (PoweredOff) snapshot that is not detectable by the VCenter alarm unless I go with my script as follows:

    Connect-VIServer VCenter01-VM
    Get-VM | Get-Snapshot | Select VM, Name, Description, Created, SizeMB | Sort SizeMB | ft -AutoSize
    Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm False
    
    

    then he would list several snapshot of small size, a few hundred kilobytes up to GB.

    Reminder: if it is snapshot to the virtual machine, and then the backup every night will fail.

    My goal is to have a script that allows to:

    1 generate the list with instant VM and then send it to me every day.
    2. If there is no VM to open the snapshot, so you don't need to send e-mail.

    Any help please?

    This expression has been a failure.

    To check it fi are instant, you can replace this line by

    if ( (Get-Snapshot)) {
    

    If there are no snapshots Get-Snapshot will return $null and the condition will evaluate to $false

    But this way you run the cmdlet Get-Snapshot twice.

    It is better to do it this way

    Connect-VIServer VCenter01-VM -User "DOMAIN\PowerCLIRO" -Password "xyz" 
    
    $snaps =  Get-Snapshot
    if ( $snaps) {
    
    $smtpSrv = "smtp.domain.com"
    $from = "[email protected]"
    $to = "[email protected]"
    $subject = "Snapshot Report"
    $body = $snaps | Select VM, Name, Description, Created, SizeMB | Sort SizeMB 
    
    $msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage($from,$to,$subject,$body)
    
    $smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SMTPclient($smtpSrv)
    
    $smtp.send($msg)
    
    } else {
    
    Exit-PSSession
    }
    
    Disconnect-VIServer * -Confirm:$false
    
  • Help to find the flaw in a removal script of snapshot using an input file

    I would like to create a script that will make use of an input file which bears the names of virtual machine containing the shots with a common name. I used some of the logic in the script to create snapshots and I'm boning remove them now. I have attached the script to delete the input file and the creation script. The creation script works fine using the input file, but I know that my logic of the delete is wrong. Please let me know if you can see are the corrections is necessary

    You need to replace this line by the that I've shown in the code snippet.

  • Static iSCSI targets removal script with PowerShell

    Hi all

    Is it possible to use PowerShell for the removal of static iSCSI Targets of script? If so, how...

    Thank you!

    If I understand you correctly, you want a report of current static iSCSI on your ESX Server targets.

    This should do the trick

    $esxName = 
    
    $report = @()
    $hostStorSys = Get-View -Id (Get-VMHost $esxName | Get-View).ConfigManager.StorageSystem
    foreach($hba in $hostStorSys.StorageDeviceInfo.HostBusAdapter){
         if($hba.gettype().name -eq "HostInternetScsiHba"){
              if($hba.ConfiguredStaticTarget -ne $null){
                   foreach($target in $hba.ConfiguredStaticTarget){

  • How to remove scripts and stylesheets from catalyst

    How can I stop BC to insert scripts and style sheets in my layouts? I worked on catalogue and the layouts of product page and models, but BC continues to insert scripts and style sheets that I don't want to understand, especially the borders and margins.

    I know not to remove all code leave blank of the /StyleSheets/ModuleStyleSheets.css

    But here's an example of an important product that includes a number of them including the effect of the layout

    "" < link href= "/StyleSheets/ModuleStyleSheets.css" type= "text/css" rel= "StyleSheet" / > "

    "< script type="text/javascript">var jslang ="EN"; '. < /script >

    "" < link rel= "stylesheet" href= "/CatalystStyles/Box.css" type= "text/css" media= "screen" / >

    "< script type="text/javascript" src="/CatalystScripts/Java_OnlineShopping.js">< /script > '"

    "< script type="text/javascript" src="/CatalystScripts/Java_Cookies.js">< /script > '"

    "< script type="text/javascript" src="/CatalystScripts/Java_Box.js">< /script > '"

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

    I realize this is an old post but I stumbled across it trying to find the answer to this question.

    It is now possible! (Official notice of her here: BC.) Next - new Module/Tag, liquid & rendered Templating syntax Best Performance)

    It is possible only via the interface of the Admin of BC. Site manager > Page templates > More Options > check 'no HEAD element '. This command removes the default content generated by BC head, including ModuleStylesheets.css.

    Note: You have to manually re - insert BC scripts if they are necessary for the proper functioning of your page.

  • concerns of instant removal

    I have a client who has used snapshots for backups.  Multiple virtual machines have nested snapshots that have expanded over the months.   He is running out of space to store data, and I suggested that we could recover a large part of the space by deleting snapshots.   His concern is that by removing the clichés that the VMs system stops.   I want to cover my bases before addressing him.  I am sure that under normal conditions, deleting a snapshot is not harmful to the virtual machine, but will have a lot a lot of time to be deleted.   Is it possible to speed up the withdrawal of snapshots?   Is there some way that I can ensure or cannot ensure that no unwanted problem will exist when deleting a live VM snapshots?

    If a snapshot file is 4 GB... This commit will require an additional 4 GB on the LUN?

    Yes.

    What happens if it doesn't have the ability to commit the snapshot already, what other options can I have for him?

    Then, power off of the prompt, use VMware Converter, that will engage all snapshots.  Once the V2V, power on the "clone" confirms, then delete the original copy of the disc.

  • Validation of instant removal

    OK, I was a fool.  In my ignorance, I have been happily create snapshots against a Windows 2008 Server running as a VM for the last 12 months or two and ended about 8 snapshots chain/hierarchy.

    This morning, I decided (after reading some articles on the nature of the shots) I couldn't continue like this so decided to delete all the snapshots via the Snapshot Manager.  I turned off the virtual server and clicked the button 'delete all snapshots '.  After a few hours, the whole box seems to block - I couldn't access through the Client Infrastructure, or even from the console on the physical server.  I waited for an hour and then performed a hard reboot (in hindsight, I think I was too impatient).

    Expecting the worst, I rebooted the server ESXi 3.5.0 and, to my surprise it started with happiness and also to my even greater surprise, the 2008 virtual machine bootedwithout error too.  I checked the Manager snapshots and of course it is not showing pictures.  So, at first glance, everything seems OK, but when I look in the data store for the virtual machine, I still see many files hard (see attached screenshot).

    Can anyone tell me if these files are to be expected and, perhaps especially if there is no way to check/validate the fact that the deletion of the snapshot has been successful, and if not, is it possible to fix the problem I have created for me?

    Thank you.

    You can also access the console via the method detailed in the link below

  • How to check the progress of instant removal?

    I commit snapshots (using 'Delete All' in the Snapshot Manager), but of course it happens to expire at the end of 15 minutes on the recent task with an error.

    I guess the process is still running in the right background of time - how can you check on the command line if the snapshot deletion process is actually running? (the two snapshots are 10 GB and 20 GB)
