• create and deploy virtual computer

  Hi all

  I want to create a VM and deploy virtual computer by using ISO image. I need to automate this process using powercli.

  Could you please provide me with an example script to do this.

  Thank you

• need to reconfigure the virtual computer after deployment of the vm

  Hi all

  I have a script to deploy a computer virtual to a CSV file. I need to change the configuration of virtual machine (CPU and memory) after the deployment of the vm. where the name of the virtual machine should be taken to csv. So any help is appreciated.

  Attach the script used. (downloaded and works fine)

  $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template

  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  New-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - VMHost - $VMHost model $Template - $Datastore - Datastore RunAsync

  }

  # This cmd need to run after the vm deployment completed. The virtual computer name must come from the 1 column of the CSV file

  Set-VM $vmname - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "All VMs deployed" - ForegroundColor Green

  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  CSV file looks like this

  Name, host datastore, Template, customizing

  Test-VM,vm-dep-test,ESX02,P5-vm-stage,vm-deploy

  Thanks in advance...

  A simpler, but not optimal, solution is to use the Wait-job cmdlet.

  Something like that

  $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

  $tasks = @)

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template

  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  $tasks += new-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - model $Template - VMHost $VMHost '

  Data - $Datastore - RunAsync store

  }

  Waiting-task-task $tasks

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $vm.name set-VM - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

  }

• Best method to deploy the virtual computer

  Anyone who can tell me what is the best way to deploy the virtual computer deploy of the FVO or models (the VM creation) that create the virtual machine of the templated took longer time compare to the creation of the FVO. Any Suggestions?

  Deploying the model customizze the new machine as part of the deployment will treat you while FVO will be an exact xopy, so you need to manually configure the new machine.

• API call for the deployment of computer virtual model?

  Hi all

  Could someone tell me how to deploy a virtual model computer using vsphere sdk webservice with the names of methods?

  Thanks in advance

  You use the method CloneVM_Task() (http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.VirtualMachine.html#clone)

  You're going to treat it just like the deployment of a model non - VM, the only difference is that the model has a property that marks it as a model if you can not make any changes or it turn, but essentially a virtual computer model is identical to a virtual machine. Simply locate your model VM mor and pass while in the clone, spec and deploy as you normally would.

• Deploy virtual desktops for another AD area

  Hi Experts

  Im a view evaluation Horizon 6 running in a lab environment.

  I want to deploy virtual desktops in this scenario:

  Currently, all view and vSphere infrastructure are in abc.com

  Pls joins screenshot of configuring servers for that environment.

  I created Pools of office for manual, Full, LinkedClone, LinkedClone with pools persistent discs and RDS

  I would like to offer virtual desktops to other domain users in xyz.com

  Question 1

  View supports this other environment that approves use of domain?

  Question 2

  What type of virtual desktop pools is the most appropriate, can help pls to develop? (Thought Im of LinkedClone with persistent discs)

  Question 3

  View is primarily designed to manage in the same field of view and virtual desktop components in the design?

  Question 4

  What is any other link recommendation and the documentation can I speak?

  Thank you

  

  1: I think that one day two trust is required in all scenarios in which you deploy on several areas via a view environment.

  2: answer depends on your needs and what you want to achieve a level user and desktop computer.    The two would work in trusted domains.

• How to get IP address of each virtual computer in my TIME?

  Hello

  I want to instantiate a VAPP model and retrieve each IP address to each virtual computer within the vAPP.

  I instantiated a VAPP-based VM 2, with 1 card ethernet by VM, in mode "static IP pool.

  The instantiate part is ok, my TIME is deployed and started, but I can't "find how to retrieve their intellectual property.

  First of all, I have to retrieve the name of each virtual machine, then get their IP address? or is there another way?

  Thank you in advance,

  Try this... I guess you can get objects VM of vApp, right? If so, try to pass in a vm this object:

  var network = vm.getNetworkConnectionSection();
  var nets = network.networkConnection.enumerate();
  for each (net in nets){
      System.log("External IP Address: "+net.externalIpAddress);
      System.log("IP Address: "+net.ipAddress);
      System.log("IP Address Allocation Mode: "+net.ipAddressAllocationMode);
      System.log("isConnected: "+net.isConnected);
      System.log("mACAddress: "+net.mACAddress);
      System.log("needs Customization: "+net.needsCustomization);
      System.log("Network: "+net.network);
      System.log("Network Connection Index: "+net.networkConnectionIndex);

• copy a folder with its content on a remote virtual computer

  Hello

  I need your help with a script that I am building. "I need to:

  # to find a virtual computer and see if it is enabled, disabled, or enabled.

  # If it is off and then turn it on and copy a folder with the contents of the VM machine.

  Improvements,

  Michel Vaillancourt

  You'd put it in before, something like this:

  $vmName = 'Target'
  $folderName = 'C:\Folder'
  
  Invoke-VMScript "del $folderName" -vm $vmName -HostCredential $HostCred -GuestCredential $GuestCred -ScriptType "bat"
  
  Get-VM -Name $vmName | where{$_.PowerState -ne 'PoweredOn'} | Start-VM -Confirm:$false
  sleep 30
  
  Copy-VMGuestFile  -LocalToGuest -Source $folderName -Destination $folderName -Confirm:$false
  

  You may need to play with the Invoke-vmscript command more

  $cmd = "del $folderName"
  
  Invoke-VMScript "$cmd" -vm $vmName -HostCredential $HostCred -GuestCredential $GuestCred -ScriptType "bat"
  

• Using Get - view instead of Get - VM for BusSharingMode from a virtual computer

  Yet again, another issue was with Get - view. I searched a lot of documentation, but still I don't get the logic how to find good properties that I need to use.

  In this case, I need to transfer this one:

  Get - VM | Get-SCSI controller. Where-Object {$_.} BusSharingMode - eq ˜Physical"} | Select {$_.} Parent.Name}, BusSharingMode

  in:

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-Property Name,Config.NameofthePropertyforBusSharingMode

  I will be grateful if someone could provide a documentation (or at least give me an idea what to read to get oriented) on these properties and their format so that they can be used to Get-View.

  The closest thing I found is this one: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.VirtualMachine.html and the VirtualMachineConfigInfo: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.htmlhttp://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.html
  I guess that in this case, we are talking about VirtualHardware (SCSI controller): http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.VirtualHardware.html and still I cannot establish the connection.

  It is all documented in the VMware vSphere QAnywhere, but as the title suggests, this is a reference.

  The vSphere Web Services SDK Programming Guide is intendedas a learning guide.

  Only no VMware book that explains a bit more on the vSphere API and objects is the book of Steve Jin, called VMware VI and vSphere SDK: management of VMware Infrastructure and vSphere

  It is written for Java developers, but it explains the basic concepts.

  In this specific question, you must know that all devices connected to a virtual computer is located in Config.Hardware.Device.

  It is a loop through the devices and extract the virtual SCSI controllers, also with bus physics active sharing.

  Once you have, it's simple extract properties.

  foreach ($vm in Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine - Name property, Config.Hardware.Device) {}

  $scsi = $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.VirtualSCSIController] - and $_.} SharedBus - eq "physicalSharing"}

  {if ($SCSI)}

  $scsi | Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},

  @{N = "Controller"; E={$_. DeviceInfo.Label}},

  @{N = "BusSharingMode"; E={$_. SharedBus}}

  }

• Behavior of a virtual computer when it is placed on Standard vSwitch with multiple active adapters

  Hey everybody

  Right now I'm focusing on the aspect of vSphere network design and I have a question about this:

  If I have a vSwitch with a group of ports and attached to this group of ports there are 2 vNIC or NIC better and I chose road based on the Port ID and all cards are active, what happens to machines when I unplug a power cord? Lets assume vm1 is vnic 0 and vm2 on vnic1 and I unplug the power cord of vnic1. VM2 will switch automatically to vnic0 or should I restart? How should I take care of this problem when there is no automatic failover? Create an etherchannel and two assets assets adapters?

  Thank you and best regards

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  your virtual computer will be moved to the other vmnic again access to the network after the failure. No reboot needed.

  It is indeed a very simple way of load balancing / team. When you turn on a virtual machine is bound to a vminc. As you said correctly for this example, vm1 goes to vmnic0, vm2 to vmnic1, to vmnic0 vm3 and vm4 to vmnic1.

  This is the default setting as it is quite simple and you don't need any additional switch configuration.

  If you want to change this behavior, for example to build an etherchannel, remember to change the policy on the vSwitch / exchanges, which would require a load balancing of "route based on the hash of the IP.

• Get the content of the field "Annotation" of a virtual computer

  I can get the content of the field "Annotation" in the tab "Summary" of a virtual computer using the .notes property.

  Think the contents of the field as:

  First line

  Second line

  Fourth line

  Fifth line

  In this case, the .notes property returns a single string.

  Looking inside the string I get I see the contents of the first line, a HEX '0A' character, the content of the second line, another character HEX '0A' and so on.

  How can I get the content of each individual line?

  Concerning

  Marius

  One solution is to cut the string as = $b $a.Split([char]0x0a)

  Then read the lines simple as $b.item (n) beginning with index 0. $b.count returns the number of lines.

• Get a virtual computer IP addresses

  In powershell I can use the VMGuest object and the IP address property to return an array of all the IP addresses on the machine. I can't find anything to vCO that does the same thing. In my view, there is a VcVirtualMachineGuestSummary, but the ipAddress property returns only 1 IP.

  Is there something to vCO which will return all the IP addresses?

  Yes, there is.

  The script code below will display all the IP address all cards on a given virtual machine ("vm" is the virtual computer object)

  var nics = vm.guest.net; // enumerate all NICs
  for (var i in nics) {
    var nic = nics[i];
    var ips = nic.ipConfig.ipAddress; // enumerate all IP addresses on this NIC
    for (var j in ips) {
      var ip = ips[j];
      System.log("IP -> " + ip.ipAddress);
    }
  }

• How to make a virtual computer to connect to a CD player with an ISO mounted when you start the virtual machine?

  I am the creation of virtual machines using PowerCLI 5.5 on vSphere 5.0; and while the virtual machine is turned off, I am able to mount an ISO on a CD player and change the boot order to boot from the CD-ROM (for another post).  I have the flag startConnected set to true, but am not having much luck getting the virtual machine to connect to the CDDrive

  $cdObj = $Vm | New-CDDrive - IsoPath $isoPathName - StartConnected: $true

  If ($cdObj - no $null)
  {
  #Power off VM if it is on
  $VmState = $Vm.PowerState
  
  If ($VmState - eq "Receptor")
  {
  $Vm | Stop-Vm-confirm: $false - ea 0
  }

  $BootHardDiskName = 'disk 1 '.
  $VmView = get - VM $VmName - Server $serverObj.Name | Get-View
  $HardDiskDeviceKey = ($VmView.Config.Hardware.Device |) Where-Object {$_.} DeviceInfo.Label - eq $BootHardDiskName}). Key

  $BootableHardDisk = new-Object - TypeName VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptionsBootableDiskDevice - property @{'DeviceKey' = $HardDiskDeviceKey}
  $BootableCDRom = new-Object-Type VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptionsBootableCdromDevice
  
  #Set for CDRom boot order
  $BootIso = new-Object VMware.Vim .VirtualMachineConfigSpec - property @ {}
  "BootOptions' = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineBootOptions - property @ {}
  BootOrder = $BootableCDRom
  }
  }
  
  #Set VM from the start settings at the start of the first CD and forces the display to update (sometimes delayed)
  $VmView.ReconfigVM_Task ($BootIso) | out-null
  $VmView.UpdateViewData ("Config.BootOptions.BootOrder")
  
  #Power on VM
  $Vm | Start-VM-confirm: $false - ea - global 0EV: vmOpsError | out-null

  When I start the VM, it does start the ISO.

  If I go to vCenter, the CD is pointing to the ISO file, but the 'Connected' to change settings option is not checked;  I can restart the VM of vCenter and then the VM restarts the ISO, but not in the script.

  I even put code to add a lead time of 5 to 10 seconds; I restart the virtual machine twice in the script and I can't CD to connect to start the virtual computer.

  Appreciate any suggestions.

  Have you tried to do a

  Game-CDDrive - CD $cdObj - connected - confirm: $false

  immediately after the start-VM?
