• Retrieve the tasks and events for a Virtual Machine

  Hello everyone.

  This question may seem trivial to some people here, but I cannot make it work: I would like to use VCO to retrieve the tasks and events for a specific virtual machine (IN parameter). Can someone help me to do?

  Best regards

  As I said, it must create a collector by using the createCollectorForTasks method in VcTaskManager.

  The parameter of this method is an instance of VcTaskFilterSpec, in which specify you the object to filter (in your case, the reference entity VM)

  You will get a VcTaskHistoryCollector which can only be traversed by using the methods readNextTasks and readPreviousTasks.

  // Get TaskManager service
  var sdktm = vm.sdkConnection.taskManager;
  
  // Create FilterSpec containing vm reference to filter
  var filter = new VcTaskFilterSpec();
  var spec = new VcTaskFilterSpecByEntity();
  spec.entity = vm.reference;
  spec.recursion = VcTaskFilterSpecRecursionOption.self;
  filter.entity = spec;
  
  // Create collector
  var collector = sdktm.createCollectorForTasks(filter);
  collector.resetCollector();
  
  // Browse all pages returned by collector (10 entries per page)
  var taskPage;
  while ((taskPage = collector.readPreviousTasks(10)) != null)
  {
      for each (var task in taskPage)
      {
          System.log("Task: " + task.name + " -> " + task.startTime);
      }
  }
  

• Doubt on the details of the virtual machines

  Hello

  How check the date of the creation of a virtual machine in vmware esxi 5.5?

  Thanks for help

  This virtual machine is created recently? If so you can easily track tasks & individual VM events

  If the virtual machine created in the past, you must export the vCenter events then search date virtual machine created in this file

  

• Virtual MACHINE created on date export csv - get - vm testvm works but says testvm get-vmcreationdate is not found.

  Hello

  I entered the following two functions in my shell powercli

  Two functions I have installed

  function {Get-VMEvents < #. . Logbook Get events for an entity or query all events. . Description This function returns the events for the entities. It is very similar to cmdlet Get-vievent. Please note that get-VMEvent can handle 1 vm at a time. You can't send picture of vms in this version of the script. . Example of Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent". He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent" 'VmClonedEvent '. . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '. Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents. Yet, it is OK when you do, it will be just a little more slow < span class = "wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-blink of eye" title = ';') > ;) </span > . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - category 'WARNING '. Will be out all events for vm: 'vm1. It is is faster than the names of piping of cmdlet Get - vm. Category will get-vmevent to search only the defined category events. . Example of Get - vm "vm1 | Get-VMEvents-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent". Shows events for vm1 which will be regarding the events of creation,. and events when when / what mac address is assigned . VM parameter This setting is a unique string that represents the name of the vm. He expects this single vm name There in the virtual Center. Now in the first version of the script, it will only load a case where there is 1 instance of vm selected name. In the future it will load multiple as Well. . Types of parameters If none is specified, it will return all the events. If specified will return Only the events with selected types. For example: "VmCreatedEvent." "VmDeployedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent" "VmClonedEvent", etc... . Category of a parameter Possible categories are: warning, info, error. Please use this setting if you you want to filter events. .

  . Logbook

  Gets if possible virtual machine created.

  . Description

  This function will return the object with information about the creation time, method, of months,.

  creator of particular virtual machine.

  VMname: SomeVM12

  Createduserid: 10/08/2012 11:48:18

  CreatedMonth: August

  CreationMethod: cloned

  Creator: office\greg

  This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not

  more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have

  entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible

  you find this event.

  . Example of

  Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.

  This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names

  myvm1 and myvm2

  . Example of

  Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  Located in Cluster1

  . Example of

  Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you

  having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.

  . Example of

  $report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate

  $report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv

  Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.

  You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select

  $report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth

  So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.

  . Example of

  Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55

  WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?

  VMname: testvm55

  Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03

  CreatedMonth: October

  CreationMethod: NewVM

  Creator: home\greg

  In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.

  You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on

  dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is

  probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.

  . Parameter VMnames

  This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm

  names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or

  get - view.

  he responds with

  What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?

  I was intending to use

  get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".

  But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."

  Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls

  Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.

  You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.

  If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.

  $vmName = 'testvm '.

  $tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

• Need more disk space to run virtual machines on R710 server with no available drive slots

  Hello

  We have a server R710 with five $2.5 146 each and three 600 GB SCSI disks SCSI.  We have no more slots.

  We want another 2-4 TB of space.   This server is used to run virtual machines to test software applications.  We have need for decent speed, but more important still need a cost-effective solution for running virtual machines.

  The budget would be in the $1000 range give or take.  I might be able to get $3000, but a $10,000 would be too.  We could consider removing disks from 146 GB 5 and replacing them with those larger, but that might not be the first choice.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  What you ask for is really difficult to do within the budget without sacrificing important performance (from what you have right now in performance).

  Any external storage solution (Dell) is out of the question for $3 k (think MD1200/1220).

  The market, 2.5 "drives max out at 1 TB at 7200 RPM, 900 tr/10 k or 300 GB @ 15 k RPM.

  Dell has disks 1 to 7200 RPM 2.5 "company (for PowerEdges) for ~ $440 (see here). These are not the best choice if you want any kind of good performance.

  You might look into upgrading to 900GB 10 k rpm drives. These run $799 each today on the Dell website (see here).

  If you replace one of the 146 both each and let rebuild you could then use the extra space to another virtual disk. This would give about 2800GB.

  If you can't budget 5 of them, according to the current setup of raid, you can watch a backup and restore of the virtual disk of some 146.

  You could:

  -use 2 of the existing 146 in raid 1 for operating system and the extra space

  -use 3 x 900 in raid 5 (which would give a crude 1800 (Go so ~ 1674 usable))

  -Use the 3 600 existing RAID 5 (which would give ~ 1116 GB usable)

• Problems after resizing XP virtual machine: a Windows image not valid

  After increasing my Windows XP virtual machine, I can't run Microsoft programs.

  My system

  I am running XP as a virtual disk with Fusion 4.1.3 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) with a drive of 500 GB and 4 GB of RAM.  My virtual machine from Windows XP (formatted FAT) has only 700 MB of free space, so I tried to increase its size from 32 GB to 48 GB.

  What I've done

  1. I increased the size of the HD in merger/disc settings

  2. the virtual machine does not resize automatically.  Messages to OS X Console says repeatedly that the virtual machine was no resizing applications ("' NUMA: auto size request ignored '")

  3. I then used EaseUS Partition Master in Windows XP to increase the use of the newly released hard drive space, but the extra space would never appear after reboot XP

  4. I then tried Partition Wizard, that worked.  So that resizing Partition Wizard was also moving files.

  The problem:

  When I restarted Windows, I got several error messages saying that the dll is not a valid windows image.  I couldn't run all Microsoft programs (Outlook, Excel, etc.) but can run non-Microsoft programs after clicking through many error reports.

  Fortunately, I made a copy of the virtual machine before attempting to resize, so I use it now.  But I lost 12 GB on my Mac hard drive and cannot get enough space in Windows

  Any thoughts out there so that I could get enough space?

  It is good that you made a backup, because even in the best conditions can things and sometimes lack.

  Since you had questions, go right to work, in other words, the first step to actually make the larger virtual hard drive, I have consider doing the following.

  1. ensure that you have a backup full host.  Time Machine is great for Mac OS X but not for Virtual Machines.  For the Virtual Machines, you must make a copy while closed stop, unsprung, and VMware Fusion.  Once you are sure that have everything backed up properly...

  2. use utility disk to verify disk permissions, disk check and optionally repair either or both based on audit reports.

  3. use vmware-vdiskmanager with the -r option to check the integrity of the virtual hard disk.

  4. from the guest operating system in a Windows prompt command use chkdsk /f to check and fix a problem with the Windows file system.

  5. try to resize the virtual hard disk again.

• How do I 'batch' closing of a large number of virtual machines on a single order?

  We have performance issues with some programs that a large number of machines virtual shutdown.  Steve Jin here mentions on his blog that there is a number of API and batch processing.  I can't find on the subject if and would just like to send a command to stop, a large number of virtual machines.  Multi-threading applications for judgment has not been effective or possible.

  If someone could point me to the right direction, I would be grateful.   Thank you!

  Sean Clark - vExpert 2009, VCPX3 - http://twitter.com/vseanclark - http://seanclark.us - http://vmunderground.com

  Hey Sean,

  I'm not familiar with batch API too many orders, but I'm guessing that you're referring to:

  Turning the power on

  • Single - PowerOnVM_Task

  • Multi - PowerOnMultiVM_Task

  Power off

  • Single - PowerOffVM_Task

  • Multi - as far as I know, no

  As you probably know, there are a lot of API command to power on a set of virtual machines, but there is not one to turn off. It maybe an internal/private API to power off the coast, but I have not heard/seen it.

  If your question is around Steve Jin VI Java API, maybe hit him up on top of this blog, you probably a more precise answer and if this isn't the case, I think he'll be able to help directly as well.

• How to get performance counter stats for virtual machine?

  Hi again,

  I managed to connect to the web service using VI SDK 2.5 and I can't what are virtual machines installed on the host system. I want to get the VMS performance counter values. How to get values of virtual machines performance counter?

  try {

  service = util.getConnection () .getService ();

  SIC is util.getConnection () .getServiceContent ();.

  perfMgr = sic.getPerfManager ();

  Utils VMUtils = new VMUtils (util);

  The list of virtual machines on a host

  ArrayList vmList = utils.getVMs (null,null,null,null,null, arg,new String [1] [2]);

  I havef(vmList! = null) {}

  System. .println ("Host a" + vmList.size () + "virtual machines");

  System. the.println ("name vm" + vmList.get (0) m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString () + "vm 2" + vmList.get (1) m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ());

  }

  }

  catch (Exception ex) {

  ex.printStackTrace ();

  }

  Clues?

  Hello

  In order to obtain the performance counter for a managed entity, you must have following:

  1. get the managed object to the PerformanceManager object reference

  2 get the ProviderSummary object for this entity. It also helps determine if the current or summary statistics are supported.

  3. get performance metrics available for the entity. In a given time interval, the statistics will be available for these measures.

  4. the performance statistics for the entity desired metrics extracted from the step above queries

  5 examine the returned data object to get the statistics.

  Attached, is an example of Java, which takes the name of the virtual machine, run the steps above and print the available counters and their stats. You can take the help of this example and can improve to get statistics for all the virtual machines in your host application.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Flash media server 3 on VMWare virtual machine

  Someone know a FMS 3 can run smoothly on a machine virtual vmware? If so, is there any condition must be aware? Thanks for any adivse.

  We do not "officially" support the FMS under a virtual machine running, and I do not recommend the use of a virtual machine for a production server. Developers here systematically to use VMWare to test, then you can have some success using a virtual machine to test your applications.

  The biggest problem we have encountered (so far!) using VMWare's virtual machine clock tends to be very nervous compared to a dedicated machine. This Jig can lead to variations in the different operations based on the clock, interpreted by the FMS, particularly in buffer and media data.

  well, in this case, we need to disable the standby of the end of the replication.

  So that everything in triggering replication does not trigger the snapshot of the suspension.

  Then test the if you get these errors.

• Change of virtual machines managed by SRM for VR in an event of DR

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine that is being replicated using replication vSphere + I configured a recovery SRM for virtual machine plan is managed by SRM.

  

  In a DR situation:

  • To recover a virtual machine that is managed by VR everything I have to do is to connect to vCenter to your web site of DR via vSphere client, then click on recover.
  • To recover a virtual machine that is managed by MRS. all you need is to get a full vsphere to your DR site that has the plugin SRM installed before you can retrieve customer.

  My question:

  Suffice it to say at an event of DR MRS on the DR site was dismantled (so I couldn't recover virtual machines managed by SRM) but I can connect to the Web from vSphere client and retrieve virtual machine managed by VR, is it possible to manually change the virtual machines managed by SRM, so they are managed by new RV?

  See you soon

  Hello

  There are internal interface that allows you to do. Please contact VMware support team.

  Go get the current "recovered by" value:

  https://vrms_address:8043 / mob /? me = Recovery Manager & method = HmsRecoveryManagerGetGroupsRecoverySolution & vmodl = 1

  To reset the value "recovered by" RV:

  https://vrms_address:8043 / mob /? me = Recovery Manager & method = HmsRecoveryManagerSetGroupsRecoverySolution & vmodl = 1

  Call the method after replacing ME with the GID... replication value and clear the value (empty string) for the recoveredBy property.

  To retrieve the value, GID-... - look at the names of the replica files in target or check data warehouses the table GroupEntity in DB VRMS. To get prompt SQL embedded DB VRMS - use

  / opt/VMware/vpostgres/Current/bin/psql vrmsdb - U

  and

  \Q to quit smoking

  Please note that the foregoing is not officially supported and may change with the different versions of the VR.

  Kind regards

• Difference between tasks and events in a virtual machine

  Hello

  I wonder if someone can help me. I am trying to identify when and how the as many times a virtual machine has been migrated manually by a user. The task of the virtual machine in question pane indicates that a task 'Migrate virtual machine' took place 31, but I don't see any event corresponding to this day here. If I click on related events, it comes up indicating that a migration has occurred. If I look at the events tab, then I see that there is a 18-type event "Migrate virtual machine" However there is no corresponding task. There is no event HA and DRS is disabled.

  My question is, that we should I think or is it a combination of the two? Only a manual migration by an administrator would be able to move the machine.

  Thank you

  Dan

  In the web client, the tasks are empty, but events are there.

  I have query to the database of vmware to bring to the event log and the get the DRS and migration events.

  The query has been

  Select EVENT_ID EVENT_TYPE, CREATE_TIME, username, VM_ID, VM_NAME, HOST_ID and HOST_NAME.

  COMPUTERESOURCE_ID, COMPUTERESOURCE_TYPE, COMPUTERESOURCE_NAME from VPX_EVENT where the EVENT_TYPE like '% VmMigrated %' and VM_NAME as ''.

  order of CREATE_TIME

  Thanks for your help.

• We have virtual machines on one of our groups that show alarms, but when you click on the tabs, alarms, or tasks and events there is no corresponding alert.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

• How to record a custom message / event in the virtual center of the virtual machine

  Is it possible to record a personalized message in the virtual center of the VM?

  I use a vCLI script to reset a virtual machine. I want to report where (PC) this script is launched.

  And it would be great if it is possible to report to the event list or task of the virtual machine that will be reset.

  You can relate from where and which this script is initiated by the following script

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  # CustomEvent.pl
  
  #
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use VMware::VILib;
  use VMware::VIRuntime;
  
  my %opts = (
     vmname => {
        type => "=s",
        help => "Name the virtual machine associated with the event",
        required => 1,
     },
  );
  
  Opts::add_options(%opts);
  
  Opts::parse();
  Opts::validate();
  Util::connect();
  
  my $vmname  = Opts::get_option('vmname');
  my $username, my $compname;
  ($username = `echo %USERNAME%`) =~ /(\S+)/; $username = $1;
  ($compname = `echo %COMPUTERNAME%`) =~ /(\S+)/; $compname = $1;
  
  my $EventManager = Vim::get_service_content()->eventManager;
  my $EventManager_view = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $EventManager);
  my $vm_ref = Vim::find_entity_view(view_type => 'VirtualMachine', filter => {'name' => $vmname});
  eval {
      $EventManager_view->LogUserEvent(entity => $vm_ref, msg => "CE_RESTARTVM : VM $vmname restarted by $username from $compname.");
      Util::trace(0, "\n CUSTOMEVENT \'VM $vmname restarted by $username from $compname.\' post Successfully.\n");
  };
  if ($@) {print "Error: ". $@ . "\n";}
  Util::disconnect();
