• Inventory of the multiple vcenters

  I wrote the following script for the inventory of my vcenters and it works well with a cavet that fact that I can connect only to a vcenter at the time or the script breaks. It seems to be related to the datacenter for computeresource obtaining, if I'm connected to two independent vcenters then the same parentID (file-group-h4) is returned for both, the script then don't market not know which to choose.

  Any ideas would be appraciated.

  Kind regards

• Find entities within multiple vCenters

  Well... now that my brain is wrecked near I ask for help

  I'm doing a script to search for an entity as a whole of the Vcenters. I have to put the name of the entity, the Type (I give to make this variable...) and the Vcenter... Only two types of information from different vcenters.

  Example:

  Name	Type
  CL002-01	Cluster
  Vm001-POC	VirtualMachine

  The challenge for this task is to reduce the response time... The old writing back information, but a lot of time is wasted.

  I came here and my brain won't work more... Any help?

  Add: a question... is it possible to connect to multiple Vcenters using 'orders-work' and use the connection information of them somehow?

  When you run too many jobs in parallel and thus focus on memory and CPU, the total duration of the session, then if you run them in batches.

  With the Invoke-Command cmdlet, you use the ThrottleLimit parameter, which allows better control how much desired parallelism.

  See also example 2 the Start-Job cmdlet.

• Running on multiple vCenters vCheck

  Can I simply by running the vCheck report only once on a single window PowerCLI run it against multiple vCenters at the same time?  Or do I need to have a separate PowerCLI session for each vCenter that I run against?

  The current version of vCheck seems to provide 1 single host (vCenter) to connect to (the variable $Server in GlobalVariables.ps1).

  So for now, you need to run the script multiple times I'm afraid.

• VCOPS through multiple vCenters not in bound mode

  Hello

  Y at - it no limitation of licensing for me deployment VCOPS enterprise edition on multiple instances of vCenter server, where the vCenter servers are not in bound mode? All vCenter servers are part of the same company, but I saw that the VCOPS will be separate proceedings related to the separate vCenter servers am breaking licensing rules by installing all these instances with the same license key?

  Gregg

  Do not use the standalone vCenter based Licensing.  Therefore, you can upgrade the license in this version of the product and then monitor any number of the vCenters.

  The VAPP version gets and use reports to a single vCenter, which becomes the source of the license.  You can put a single license in the vCenter and then follow multiple vCenters with a single instance of vApp... up to the limit.

  If you want to have a paralytic by vCenter, then (as shown above), you will need to divide portal site licenses VMware.com have enough per VAPP installed on each vCenter licenses.

• How to connect multiple Vcenters in powercli

  Hi all

  I would like to know how to connect multiple vcenters in powercli by obtaining user input.

  as below

  For example: Se connect-viserver -.

  Output should be:
  Please enter the number of vcenters that you want to connect:

  3 (data)

  Please enter host vcenters, that you want to connect:

  vcenter1

  vcenter2

  vcenter3

  After that, he should join conencted to all mentioned vcenters and continue with the next steps in the script

  Try something like this

  $vc = @)

  $nrVC = Read-Host-Prompt "Please enter the number of the vcenters you want to connect.

  Write-Host "vcenters/host you want to connect please enter."

  1.. $nrVC | %{

  $vc += Read-Host

  }

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $vc

• vRA: identity device or vSphere SSO when there are multiple vCenters (each with their own SSO) in the environment?

  The installer: We have multiple vCenters each with their own SSO. We must build a minimum install vRA lab 6.1 and used the SSO to the vCenter which is the endpoint lab (and ended up having problems when this vCenter SSO had to be rebuilt and in turn liquid reconstruction vRA). Building on a vRA 6.2 Distributed Lab (based on deployment in the 6.1 reference architecture) to validate our production plan and decided to use the identity.

  Question: For a production buildout there is no reason not to use the device of the identity (scalability, performance, lack of HA)? If you are using vSphere SSO, when there are multiple vCenters one that should be used for SSO of vRA? If that vSphere SSO is never removed (say on the whole things are replaced by a central SSO for all vCenters rather than each on their own, or some issue needs to be rebuilt) is there a clean way to repoint SSO vRA without a reconstruction?

  Post edited by: RebeccaW (removed unrelated to Postgres question)

  What I did in this case is to build a fresh cluster SSO using vCenter SSO and pointing vCAC on this one. It becomes my main source of SSO and I slowly vCenters point and other components to it overtime. You usually put vCAC SSO signed certificates and generally I find people vCenter SSO deployment in this way. To remedy this trying to modify an existing SSO vCenters and risk having to reinstall your VC because you missed the CERT, simply create a new. This also alleviates a changing overtime vCenter and spoil the vCAC SSO. The unit of identity cannot be clustered or joining existing areas of SSO. So if you are looking for HA and scale which probably does not cut it.

• Multiple VCenters in one VSphere Client

  Kinda new to this but just curious, can you have multiple VCenters in a single client VSphere? Currently I have 6 VCenters I log in, I have therefore 6 vsphere client running.

  Welcome to the community.

  You can configure in bound mode. According the current scenario of you, you have already configured the vcente. If you need to add them in to a single pane view vcenter.

  Here's a nice blog that help you solve your problem.

  hope you find interesting.

• VM inventory report and missing data

  All, I wrote a VM inventory report that seems to pull all the data I need, except for a single field, Type of NETWORK adapter. I get some data in this area, but the vast majority is left white. When I run a one-liner (Get - VM - < name of vm > |) Get-NetworkAdapter | Select the Type), I get the data you want. Can anyone help to determine why I get no coherent, fully poplulated data fields?

  Here's the script:

  $HostReport = @)
  Get - VM | object sort name | {foreach ($_.name)}
  $Report = "" | Select the host name, Cluster, NumCPU, MemoryMB, network, SCSI, Datastore, ToolsVersion, ToolsStatus
  $Report.Hostname = $_. Name
  $report. Cluster = ($_ |) Get - Cluster). Name
  $report. NumCPU = $_. NumCPU
  $report. MemoryMB = $_. MemoryMB
  $report.Network = ($_ |) Get - NetworkAdapter). Type
  $report. SCSI = ($_ |) Get - ScsiController). Type
  $report. Data store = ($_ |) Get - Datastore). Name
  $report. ToolsVersion = $_. ToolsVersion
  $report. ToolsStatus = $_. ToolsVersionStatus
  $HostReport += $Report
  }
  $HostReport | Export-Csv-path c:\TEMP\vm-hw.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  TIA,

  -gc

  Hello, gary1012-

  Maybe you have a few virtual machines with more than one network card?  If so, this line that gets the Type to interconnect the virtual machine would produce no output for these machines.  To manage the virtual machines with more than one NETWORK card, edit the "$report.Network =...". "line to something like:

  $report.Network = ($_ | Get-NetworkAdapter | %{$_.Type}) -join ","
  

  This will give a single type for virtual machines with a NETWORK card or a string of separation by commas of type names for virtual machines with more than one NIC

  How does do for you?

• Inventory reports

  Hello team,

  One please you suggest on how to get ESXi inventory reports.

  Thanks to the Adv.

  Arvin

  It depends on what you are looking for and how you want to do. As it says in the post above you can get info on vcenter quite easily, simply customize you view and export the information to excel. With the help of a script will allow you to export your environment information all at once.

  You can also make a host summary report in the file menu of your vi client, but it's more of a host and an inventory. Personally my preferred method is by using a script.

• Linking multiple vcenters powercli

  I know that you can connect to multiple vcenters, right to the point.

  If I do

  to connect-VIServer servera, serverb, and serverc (entry of username and passwd)

  the only active vcenter is serverc. (the last in my command "connect-VIServer" line.

  What gives?

  I need to run a script to analyze the vcenters all at the same time. Of course, I can't run against each vcenter but I hope I don't have to.

  Thank you!!!

  When you run $DefaultVIServers , it returns with vCenter all which you are connected.

  If not run Set-PowerCLIConfiguration - multiple DefaultVIServerMode and try to connect multiple vcenter

• Reporting to include custom attributes of Vm and organized through multiple vcenters.

  Hello
  We are just moving our production test vfoglight solution & have you come across a bit of a weird one. We had a report / discovers that would list all virtual machines in our virtual Center and displays the custom attributes in a nice - good for the management report, form etc. However, we are moving to a new instance of virtual center & we have a test instance too - all are present in vfoglight, but our report draws only the custom of the original vcentre attributes. I'm not wcf script guru, but I gave it a good look & can't see a way forward - the hero of any script out there who could take a look and help out?
  Moreover, do you think I could put in a request for support for this one & get any joy?

  Hope someone can help - I'll post all the files needed etc.

  Kind regards

  Jonathan

  Thought of it at the end - on the second vcenter vmware foglight agent did not have the ability to collect custom attributes in the service.config file set to true. After true and restart the collector and the connector, everything was fine.

• A PowerCLI script against multiple vCenters, at the same time

  Can I run a script against more than one simultaneously vCenter powerCLI?

  For example:

  Get - vm

  and they report all virtual machines in two different vCenters?

  First, a clarification, connection, with AllLinked set to $true, to a vCenter that is part of a vCenter Server Federation, is not the same as PowerCLI running in Multiple mode.

  In Multiple mode, all vSphere server connections that are made, are stored together in the $global: variable defaultVIServers.

  All cmdlets, which do not specify a vSphere specific server with the Server parameter, will run on all servers of vSphere in the $global: variable defaultVIServers.

  For your question, we will first check if everything is properly configured.

  Check if the configuration says "Multiple" for all scopes.

  Get-PowerCLIConfiguration

  If you see something like this

  

  the parameter will be that during your session in courses .

  When you stop/start the session, the setting will be gone.

  You can change the AllUsers parameter, like this

  Game-PowerCLIConfiguration - multiple DefaultVIServerMode - worn AllUsers

  Then you will see this

  

  and the configuration will be remembered between sessions.

• Oracle database inventory report

  Hello

  Foglight 5.6.4 monitor us Oracle DBs.

  How to generate the inventory of Oracle database report that gives all the objects, the invalid objects, tables without PK, etc.?

  Thank you.

  Hi guy,

  5.6.4 Oracle cartridge includes these out-of-the-box reports:

  • Balance report - displays the workload balance between selected nodes of the RAC cluster
  • Drive capacity report - displays a breakdown of the use of storage space disk at the level of the host from the host.
  • Health status of check - displays various aspects of the health of the instance specified, namely: availability, status of the listener, response time and connection time
  • I/o activity report - full screens of activity of IO, including workload, the wait events and physical analysis against writing and logical read operations
  • Report availability - displays free/busy information at the level of the instance of the instance.
  • Data storage report - displays a breakdown of the use of space of storage of data to the host, instance, and tablespace level.
  • Oracle executive summary report
  • Report of the PL/SQL blocks
  • Summary report of storage - provides an overview of disk space, the use of the ASM, archive redo logs status, albums and destinations of tablespaces and data files
  • Top of page DB Users
  • Top SQLs report - provides information detailed about the SQL statements that experienced the longest period of consumption of CPU or total wait events
  • Summary report - global workload workload displays, using various performance

  You can schedule or run these reports from the reports dashboard.

  You can create additional custom reports by using drag and drop basis, or WCF reports for more sophisticated reports. WCF allows you to copy and modify out-of-the-box reports.

  If you have a requirement for additional reports of out-of-the-box, please submit a detailed description in the ideas to be considered for a future version of the product. You can simultaneously publish the same information here in Discussions as a "How-to" question if you would like some advice on how to achieve this in the meantime.

  Kind regards
