• Authentication and script PowerCLI on demand

  I have a powerCLI script I want to program but I want to do by calling with vRO.  However, I don't want to save my password in the PowerCLI script - I would like the script to authenticate on the server vCenter Server and for example to list running virtual machines once a day.  How can I call this script from vRO without storing the password in the script itself?  vRO and the PowerShell host are on separate virtual machines.

  There are builtin PowerCLI CredentialStore (see the New-VICredentialStoreItem).

  An alternative is the method described in password encrypted local store in a PowerShell script

• Definition of Orchestrator to execute a script PowerCLI

  What is the best way to implement Orchestrator to run a powerCLI script?

  Hello TheVMinator,

  Here are the first two ways that come to mind for me:

  1. VCO run under Windows - use the 'command' to fall at a command prompt, and then run your scripts PowerCLI from the vCO Server (you can use the method described in this article to access the object of the control: How to execute a PERL Script from a vCenter Orchestrator Workflow)
  2. Install the PowerShell plug-in, configure WinRM, then run your PowerCLI scripts on the remote host that you configured via WinRM (reference: seamless integration with PowerCLI and PowerShell plugin |) VMware vCenter Orchestrator Blog - VMware Blogs)

• Run scripts PowerCLi PowerCli console?

  Is it possible to run scripts PowerCLi PowerCli console?

  I want to use the batch with PowerCli orders orders... and I'm stuck on adding entries PowerCli keyboard console.

  You don't need the parameter of hard disk, the hard disk is passed through the pipeline of the cmdlet Get-disk hard.

  If the virtual machine has more than 1 hard drive, you use a Where clause to select the hard drive you want.

  Get-disk hard - VM "MV0857-gastela" |

  where {$_.} Name - eq "Hard Disk 2"} |

  Together-hard drive - CapacityKB 20000000 - confirm: $true

  You can call PowerCLI cmdlets, but be sure to connect all first.

  Something like this for example

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile  "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1"  -command "connect-viserver MyVC | out-null; Get-VM"
  

  Have you set the execution policy for PS?

  Make one

  Get-ExecutionPolicy

  To change you could do

  Game-ExeecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

  Just do it once.

• Need help please this script... LucD? :-)

  Everything works as expected, but I have a problem with the two parts of the script. They are the bits where he itterates the NETWORK card and hard drives (pink and blue sections below).

  Problem with the NIC (Pink) loop - it only shows nic 0, and if there are multiple network cards - they are not out in the CSV file. Also returns only 0 NETWORK adapter MAC address and not the other nic MAC addresses...

  Problem with loop (blue) disc - it returns only the first TWO discs even if some of my VM 4 or even 5 discs...

  No idea why this is happening. This script is not my work, but I found it very useful for what I need...

  Thanks for your help

  PS. I'm a complete NOOB with Powercli, so try to find my way around it yet.

  PPS - if someone has a better VM inventory script - please be so kind as to pointing me to it...
  

  Thought as well, but I'm afraid he wil cover the possibilities.

  Assume the following:

  VM1, 3 cards, 2 hard drives

  VM2, 2 cards, 5 hard drives

  The order will be VM1, VM2 with the effect that you get 2 hard drives for VM2.

  The alternative I came with us to make Dummy entries and always use the maximum columns for network cards and hard drives.

  If you want to get

  NIC1 NIC2, NIC3 HD1 HD2 HD3 HD4 HD5

  VM1 x x x x x na na na

  VM2 x x na x x x x x

  See if it works for you.

• This script takes copies of the Image?

  RDBMS version: 11.2.0.3
  Platform: AIX 6.1
  
  Is the below mentioned the backup script taking copy of the image? What is the type of backup that is used in this script?
  

  recover copy of database with tag daily1 until time 'sysdate - 1';
  backup  incremental level 1 for recover of copy with tag daily1 database;
  backup as compressed backupset archivelog all not backed up;
  allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
  delete noprompt obsolete device type disk;
  release channel;

  -Another question on the above script
  If a data file is lost, would I be able to quickly restore, recover by using the following commands, if I use the above backup script?

  RMAN>sql ‘alter database datafile 7 offline’;
  RMAN>switch datafile 7 to copy;
  RMAN>recover datafile 7;
  RMAN>sql ‘alter database datafile 7 online’;

  This is the strategy of "Update backups gradually" what Oracle documents, but some of us are not comfortable with.

  See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmbckba.htm#CHDEHBFF

  Why I'm not comfortable?
  (1) it causes the local backup on the database server - that is to say on the same SAN as the target database! (unless you connect two different San on database server)
  (2) it provides only 1 backup of the database to be available at any time (unless you do religiously the backups from this location on tape every day)
  (3) it offers the opportunity to move to the last backup, but not older backups (unless make you backups on tape and so make sure that you have backups of image on different days on different bands).

  It is too easy for a DBA / SA to not follow the three recommendations 'less' I added.

• How to run this script on all my hosts at the same time?

  Greetings.  I have this script that tells me that the status of the HBA device path (dead, active).  But it takes forever to run on all my guests, as it does every one host at a time.

  How can I get that it is running on all hosts at the same time?

  Use: Get-HBAPathStatus VMHosts *.

  Thank you!

  Function Get-HBAPathStatus ($InputVMHost) {}
