IP pools, creating with PowerCLI

• Adding a paralytic to the catalog in vCD with PowerCLI

  I would add a paralytic to a catalog via PowerCLI. I see not all the methods under the the VAPP extensiondata that allow this.

  Then I thought that maybe I need to look at the catalog and couldn't find CatalogItems in the GetCIView() of the org and don't know how to edit:

  $ciorg. ExtensionData.Catalogs.CatalogReference [0]. GetCIView(). CatalogItems

  Then I tried to script on the creation of a new catalog... It works but I still don't know to go to add vApps.

  $ciorg = get - org "Org name"

  $cat = New-Object vmware.vimautomation.cloud.views.AdminCatalog
  $cat. Owner = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.Owner
  $cat. Owner.User = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.Reference
  $cat. Owner.User = (get - org). ExtensionData.Users.UserReference [0]
  $cat. CatalogItems = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.CatalogItems
  $cat. IsPublished = $True
  $cat. Name = "catalog name.
  $cat. Description = "created with PowerCLI.
  $ciorg. ExtensionData.CreateCatalog ($cat)

  * Entries in bold must refine. Didn't know how to find a specific user so I used the first input that is mine in the user table.

  So currently, I'm puzzled. Alan, LucD or Jake... Ideas?

  Thank you!

  The ExtensionData and Get-CIView expose the vCloud API REST. The documentation is available here: https://www.vmware.com/support/vcd/doc/rest-api-doc-1.5-html/index.html. What PowerCLI exposes them, however, are slightly different. We will publish a separate documentation to another point that would be more accurate.

  Note the PowerCLI interface exposes to .net is not the same as the c# SDK for vCloud.

  To access the documentation for the 2 operations, you should define the scope of research on all operations and the search for InstantiateVAppTemplate or ComposeVApp, follow the link of type Input to InstantiateVAppTemplateParams/ComposeVAppParams.

  Creating a vApp on a vApp model is done with InstantiateVAppTemplate. ComposeVApp is for the creation of a paralytic from scratch.

  Just an aside: take a look at the CIVApp import and import-CIVAppTemplate, those who are able to "register" a virtual machine of vSphere in vCloud. Maybe it's a quicker way of migration of machines virtual vSphere to vCloud VAPP model that they can do the conversion without facing the virtual machine.

• Export all the objects with PowerCli

  Hello

  I'm not in VSphere or vmware but a Director of SCOM and I am currently working on a solution to monitor our VCenter with SCOM server. To be able to automatically resolve alerts, I would need to find a way to export a list with all the objects of the VCenter server to create them as instances in SCOM and map the error directly state events to these objects.

  I think that this should be possible with PowerCli so the plan was to have a script export this list frequently and run a discovery of the SCOM Agent Script to automatically create related instances. Does anyone know how this export could be made with PowerCli? Since I'm not in vmware / vsphere and we don't have a test environment, but only the Production System in our office, I am somewhat limited in trying just by the cmdlets to discover this.

  No matter what pointer in the right direction which cmdlets can achieve this is as welcome as script ideas that could help me out here.

  Thanks and greetings

  Marco

  OK, I see.

  When you want to display a map, it is better to load the objects requested in advance and update them regularly.

  Have you ever thought about what you want to see on the map?

  A hierarchy of the sample could be

  vCenter(s)                                     <- in $defaultVIServer after a Connect-VICenter
    datacenter(s)                              <- Get-Datacenter -Server 
     cluster(s)                                   <- Get-Cluster -Server 
        resource pool(s)                     <- Get-Resourcepool -Location (Get-Cluster )
           guest(s)                               <- Get-VM -Location (Get-Resourcepool )
        vmhost(s)                               <- Get-VmHost -Location (Get-Cluster 
           datastores                           <- Get-Datastore -Location (Get-VMHost )
           network
              vswitches                         <- Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost (Get-VMHost )
                  portgroup(s)                 <- Get-VirtualPortgroup -VMHost (Get-VMHost )
     standalone host(s)
        guest(s)
        datastores
        network
           vswitches
               portgroup(s)
  

  I added some of the cmdlets that you can use to get items for a specific branch of the hierarchy.

• Unable to connect to vCD with PowerCLI

  Hi, can you help me with troubleshooting problem with connecting in vCD using PowerCLI.

  When I log in using my system administrator account

  Connect-CIServer vcdCell01 - User "username-password"pass"

  I get:

  Connect-CIServer: 11/30/2015 connect 12:19:21 AM-CIServer the

  Server returned "Unauthorized" with the status of the authorized 401 - no code.

  On line: 1 char: 1

  + Connect CIServer vcdCell01 - User "username-password 'pass' '.

  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:)) [connect-CIServer], CIException)

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Cloud_ConnectivityServiceImpl_ConnectCloudServer

  _ConnectError, VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Commands.cmdlets.ConnectCIServer

  I can connect to the Web user interface using the same system administrator account.

  The only way I can connect with PowerCLI is when I create the local account in one of the organizations and Add - Org to order

  Connect-CIServer vcdCell01-user "localuser" - password 'localpass' - 'org' Org

  Help, please.

  I used a few tricks of Python to connect to vCD. To connect as a system administrator, I had to use "Administrator@System" as the user.

  Maybe it will work for you if you use '-Org system?

• Moving a hard drive with PowerCLI

  I have a vm with several discs. I have create a new virtual machine, to attach a disk of the virtual machine first to this hard new using New-disk and passing the path to the vmdk.

  The final bit, that I need is to remove the disc from the first virtual machine so that I can turn on the second. I can't work out how to do this with powerCLI, of course, it is quite easy using the GUI.

  Any ideas?

  Hello, Deanb61-

  Decent docs: Yes, VMware support site has legitimate documentation: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/PowerCLI/.  From there, you can see the documentation for the desired version of PowerCLI.  Of course, check the latest version the most up-to-date docs/features/etc.  Particular, Get-disk hard Ref is currently at http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp#com.vmware.powercli.cmdletref.doc/Get-HardDisk.html.

  You can find the name of the hard disk on the original VM with the first bit below and use that name, then remove the disk said.  Or, the second line of code just relies on the way to the store of data (filename) from the drive and deletes the given virtual machine disk.

  ## get the VM's disks and their names, so as to use its name laterGet-HardDisk -VM myVM | select Name,Filename,CapacityGB
  
  ## or, just get the hard disk with the given filename, and remove itGet-HardDisk -VM myVM | Where-Object {$_.Filename -eq "[myDStore0] myVM/myVM1.vmdk"} | Remove-HardDisk -DeletePermanently:$false

• 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

  ##################################################################################
  # The script terminates all sessions if idle idle user for more than xx #.
  #                             #

  # $pwd = "password of vcenter.

  # Add 1 extra hour when, due to the difference of timestamp between MSSQL and Windows.
  # slow down time 5 hours = 360
  # 10 hours slowed = 660
  $intOlderThan = 60

  # Connect-VIServer $server - user $user-password $pwd
  # Connect-VIServer $server

  $svcRef = new-object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
  $svcRef.Type = 'ServiceInstance.
  $svcRef.Value = 'ServiceInstance.
  $serviceInstance = get-views $svcRef

  $sessMgr = get-view $serviceInstance.Content.sessionManager
  $oldSessions = @)
  {foreach ($sess in $sessMgr.SessionList)}
  If (($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.

  "

  + $sessMgr.TerminateSession < < < < ($oldSessions)

  + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:)) [], MethodInvocationException)

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: DotNetMethodException

  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"}

• can I open a vi created with labview 2009 on worm Labview 8.5?

  I have a vi created with Labview 2009 and I want to open and run the vi in Labview 8.5.

  It opens to 8.5

  Can I save the vi since 2009 in a format that is compatible with 8.5?

  If you click the file menu in the toolbar of LabVIEW, you should see a "except for the previous version. If your vi does not have all the features that are specific LabVIEW2009, you should be able to save it to 8.5.

  LabVIEW is generally open earlier versions, not the other way around. I say generally because there are a few points that have changed drastically, such that you have to use an intermediate version to make the vi up to a more recent version.
