Is it possible to interact with the guest virtual computer console using PowerCLI?

I'm trying to automate the installation of Linux on the ESXi systems.  Installing Linux is all from the command line.  Is there a way that I can interact with the console or shell comments VM using PowerCLI?

In my view, customization works only with officially listed linux distributions.

Kind regards

  • Interact with the guest operating system without providing a password of the host

    Whenever I try to use the copy-VMGuestFile or Invoke-VMScript I'm prompted for a name of username/password for the host, I am already connected to vCenter Server I should not need to provide a name of user and password for the host? As many users in vCenter Server accounts do not exist on the host and would need to be configured individually for each host?

    AFAIK not with the current construction of PowerCLI.

    But if I remember correctly it intends to simplify this in a future generation.

    Maybe can someone of VMW confirm?

  • How to make a thin app to host on the guest virtual computer

    How can I run the host on the guest computer thinApp?  If I run on the host computer thinApp will not just take a snapshot of the host?  How to use a virtual machine created by workstation to run?

    Another part to this question is, if the initial snapshot has already application thinApp on the computer and/or other programs so theoretically, they should not be included in the compilation, right?

    That is right.  In this scenario, your package will work only if the same version of Java is installed in the same way on your target machines.  It's OK in my opinion if your environment had a solid a standard desktop where you can count on this version of Java to be present already.  Tests to ensure it works of course are always recommended before going to production.

    You lose some of the benefits of application virtualization because all dependencies are not encapsulated more.  The compromise is that this package could break down the road if Java changes on your workstations.  Each environment is different, so it is up to you.

  • Possible to interact with the box in a custom menuitem?

    Is it possible to allow custom menu items to check (as in the Windows menu menuitems can be)? The 'checked' property is read-only for the menu item and the menu action, so I guess I wonder if there is no known workaround solution or whether it is a case of readonly feel readonly. Thank you!

    Menu navigation related stuff in mind DOM me nothing, but Google turned up this blog entry from substances: http://in-tools.com/article/scripts-blog/showing-text-formatting-overrides/

    -and then I pourrait found in the DOM, well hidden:

    Adobe InDesign CS6 (8,0) object model JS: ScriptMenuAction

    So, it seems that you must set the State of a menu action. The action itself can be attached to one or more menus (MenuAction, where checking is read-only, is a parent class of the ScriptMenuAction and here it is read/write), probably to make sure that if a certain menu item appears in more than one menu, they are all "up to date" at the same time.

    Example of substances still affects 'checked = false' and change the menu text to indicate its current state, but I guess one can also toggle the enabled state.

  • Script to remove 30 days turned off of the guest virtual computer in vCenter automatically and the user on this subject by e-mail

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a script that can automatically remove power vm comments which have been stopped for more than 30 days off. Now I'm under this

    $IgnoredVMs = "windows7."

    $vms = get - VM | Name - descending sort

    foreach ($vm to $vms)

    {

    $DecommedVMs = ($vm |) Where {$_.} PowerState - eq "PoweredOff"} | Where {$_.} Name - notmatch $IgnoredVMs} | Select Name, LastPoweredOffDate). Sort - Object - property LastPoweredOffDate)

    }

    and then I run it manually

    Remove-vm $DecommedVMs - deletepermanently

    Things, it is that I have more than 1000 comments vm in my environment and we create & many virtual shutdown invited every day. And since we have a retention period of 30 days per vm we cannot remove them as soon as they stop. So I'm looking for a script that verifies any vm guest that is off for more than 30 days and remove them automatically automatically and e-mail user guest vm is eliminated.

    Thank you

    Rama

    Try something like this

    $vms = Get-VM | where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOff"}$vmPoweredOff = $vms | %{$_.Name}$events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) -Entity $vms |   where{$_.FullFormattedMessage -like "*is powered off"}$lastMonthVM = $events | %{$_.Vm.Name}$moreThan1Month = $vmPoweredOff | where {!($lastMonthVM -contains $_)}

  • Interaction with the user

    We try to create a project where we show software simulations, and we'll use Captivate to do this. We also want to add a feature to allow the user to 'try', which means that they take control of the mouse and can really interact with the demonstration. Is this possible?

    Hello!

    It is possible to have someone software "try". The key is in the original game to the top of your record of the screenshots of the software. There is a difference between registration of a "demonstration" by report to record a 'Simulation '.

    When you are ready to register and get the screenshots you want to make sure that Captivate is in the correct mode. Before you click the record button, click the Options button in the lower left corner. One of the options that is displayed is the recording Mode. Make sure it is set to Simulation Training.

    Once you have training Simulation, Captivate automatically includes the boxes click, captions, highlights, etc. that you save your screenshots. To check what Captivate includes in regards to interactivity, click the settings button next to the option of recording Mode. Select the components you want people of sages they you can see your movie.

    With these settings Captivate all your screenshots record then becomes a simulation where people have to interact with what they see on the screen.

    I know that this has been detailed, but I hope it helps. Good luck to fill your training modules.

  • Windows Mail is not interacting with the server.

    When Windows Mail (WM) is open, it will download 2 of each incoming e-mail.  Conducted a comprehensive analysis of the system, no problem.  Talked with our server provider, we ran the test emails to see if WM was interacting with the server and it is not.  Is also not to keep my ID and password to log on the server. Y at - it an update I missed it to avoid these problems?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    It causes a frequent there have new antivirus scan program messages.  Uninstall your AV program and reinstall without any mail analysis feature.  You will be just as safe.

    Another common cause is to have two e-mail accounts, referring to the same mailbox.  The send/receive operation can access two accounts at the same time and both can download the message even if they both refer to the same mailbox. Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

    This may be the wrong forum for this question, and if so, please point me to one that is more appropriate, because it doesn't seem to be a forum of developers on this segment of use cases.

    Is there a material that interacts with the BlackBerry through the USB connection?  The BlackBerry Desktop Manager can make quite a range of things with the BlackBerry via a USB connection.  None of this is publicly available or documented?  If this isn't the case, it is fine, please tell me if I can stop looking in vain for him.

    There was an example of code, packed with JDE 4.1, I think, who communicates with the BlackBerry via USB using BBDevMgr as a resource com  There is a lack of documentation of this interface and its capabilities and limitations.  It is still supported?  If so, where can I find the documentation for it?

  • How many still for my application to interact with the Timesten database?

    Hi all, still how much for my application to interact with the Timesten database?
    As far as I know, we can connect directly to the database without network load that improves performance, should my application only to specify the DSN name under the name of DSN Manager data? There is no document to clarify that clearly.
    The other approach is c/s connection and there are 3 commucation protocols, such as plain TCP/IP, sockets, UNIX domain and the CPI, right?

    Yes, that's correct. (Preferably) direct mode when the application and TimesTen are on the same machine. UNIX domain socket and shared memory IPC server local (only for cases of special purpose given that the direct mode is faster and more) and normal TCP/IP client/server (local or remote).

    The specific details on how the application connects depends on which API that it uses (ODBC, OCI, Pro * C, JDBC, ODP .NET). For ODBC and JDBC, you must specify a data source name and use the driver corresponding (direct-mode driver or client driver). For the OIC that is configured through SQL * Net and TNSNAMES. ORA and for ODP .NET, I don't remember without it looking up. Please see the TimesTen for relevant API documentation for full details.
