• Gwetting a list of all virtual machines and used space

  
  I apologize for my very basic question.

  I need to make a file (better if an Excel file) with a list of all virtual machines in a simple 5.x vSphere infrastructure including 2 VMare ESXi 5.x servers and the disk space used (allocated, used) of each virtual computer.

  The easiest way seems to list the virtual machines from the vSphere client and export the list as a .xls file.

  It seems simple, but when I look at the file I see a lot of missing VMs or a large number of missing values for several virtual machines (just the Runts).

  Is this a problem with my vSphere client?

  I tried to create a PowerCli script using the "Get - VM|" Select-object Name"command, but my limited skills will let me extract the value of the used space.»

  Can someone please provide a sample of PowerCli I can just copy and use?

  Is there another way to get the information I need?

  Concerning

  Not knowing that if you have configured a cluster or just stand-alone hosts, here is one simple line...

  Get-VMHost-name | get - vm | select name, usedspaceGB

  From there, you can make formatting, get total usage etc.

• List virtual machines and their DNS server settings

  I try to list virtual machines and their primary and secondary DNS server addresses.  Are the cmdlets in vmware that can do this, or would I need to use the invoke-script command.  I have the list of virtual machines and I want to list them all with their DNS server addresses.

  I tried to use the wmi objects such as:

  Win32_networkadapterconfiguration get-wmiobject - computername "servername |

  Select name, DNSServerSearchOrder

  It would give me the specific server name and addresses of dns.

  But I need the list of servernames which I would like to list some and their

  DNSserversearchorder settings (DNS settings)

  I tried to put the servernames list in a text file using

  Get - vm | Export-csv C:\computername.txt - notype

  Then I used the get-content command and the pipe in the get-wmiobject

  command like below:

  $servers = get-Content c:\computername.txt

  ForEach ($server in $servers)

  {get-wmiobject Win32_networkadapterconfiguration - computername $server

  | where {$_.} IPEnabled-fits 'True'} | Select-object

  name, DNSServerSearchOrder

  But when I run this command fails with errors such as a pipe empty

  element is not allowed.  I don't know if the above script has all synatx

  error or what is the best way to get a list of servers and their dns server

  Parameters.

  I know the wmiobject maybe out of this range in these newsgroups but there at - it a script in powershell, vmware or windows powershell to get a list of servername (which are mostly VMS) and their DNS server settings.

  Try the following script to get the DNS search order:

  Get-Content c:\computername.txt | `
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-WMIObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Computername $_ | `
      Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -match "True"} | `
      Select-Object -property DNSHostName,DNSServerSearchOrder
  }

• List virtual machines and their data warehouses

  I took a dagger to the list of all virtual machines in my VC with data warehouses where their VMDK:

  $report = @)

  $allvms = Get-VM

  {foreach ($vm to $allvms)

  $row = "" | Select VMNAME, DATASTORE

  $row. VMNAME = $vm.name

  {color: #ff0000} $row. DATA store = (Get - VM | get-data store)

  $report += $row

  }

  $report | Export-Csv "C:\vm_ds.csv" -NoTypeInformation

  No luck. I know that the problem is with the cndlet of get-data store, the file indicates the VMNAME column filled with virtual machines, as expected, but the column of report DATA store System.Object [].

  Any help would be appreciated.

  You are already in a loop through all the guests (the loop foreach in line 3), there is no need to get all customers with the cmdlet Get - VM (again) in the 6th line.

  You can just pass (i $vm) invites him to the cmdlet Get-data store on line

  System.Object [] entry in the CSV file is caused by the fact that the Export-CSV cmdlet does not know how to handle objects or arrays of objects.

  One solution is to loop through all the data store names that are returned.

  And keep the data store name in the property of the DATA store.

  The result is that there will be several rows in the CSV file to people with more than 1 data store.

  $report = @()
  
  $allvms = Get-VM
  foreach ($vm in $allvms) {
       $dstores = $vm | Get-Datastore
       foreach($ds in $dstores){
            $row = "" | select VMNAME, DATASTORE
            $row.VMNAME = $vm.name
            $row.DATASTORE = $ds.Name
            $report += $row
       }
  }
  
  $report | Export-Csv "C:\vm_ds.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  

• vCenter shows all virtual machines and the host is disconnected

  Hello

  I have a two nodes in the cluster ESXi6 U2 (recently updated to 5.5) running on hp dl380p gen8. For some reason all the virtual machines are running on host A (HA and DRS are enabled).  vCenter shows all virtual machines and host A is disconnected. Cannot connect to A host using vSphere client or web client. Cannot vMotion the VMs. Impossible to activate SSH. Connection DCUI works very well. Cannot perform any action VM

  All virtual machines are in place are running at this point. I don't want to restart the virtual machines. Can you help me please?

  Thank you

  AJ

  Frozen screen DCUI came back to life. The active SSH access, killed the running process. The host of running backs.

  See you soon,.

• List of all virtual machines running on a local storage

  Y at - it a script when it is applied to the virtual center would show the virtual machines that are running on a local storage of an esx host.  We have about 40 esx running on virtual Center host and there are some VM running on local storage that we have to go offshore, but I need a list of these virtual machines.

  If it helps the naming convention for the local storage data store is "exhostname_local".  This is the norm for all hosts.

  Any Advisor.

  It must be Friday

  Try it like this

  Get-Datastore local* | where {$_.ExtensionData.Host.Count -eq 1} | Get-VM -Location $_ | Select Name
  

• Reports on virtual machines and their records

  I want to create a report on all my virtual machines and disks attached to each.  My preference would be to have the information in a .csv, so I can work with it in Excel.  What I've done so far has proved frustrating as I find it hard to combine the two.

  What I tried:

  1 VI Toolkit - I know I can run the command 'Get - VM' and "Get-hard drive" to get everything I need, but the combination of the two is beyond my current abilities of PowerShell.

  2 Report.ps1 of alanrenouf - gives a lot of information, but nowhere close to what I need.  I considered trying to modify this script, but I thought that it would take more time than learning how to make #1.

  3 OpenXMPowerTools - get this utility approach work still takes hours without result, more work than it's worth

  I have a few scripts (VBscript) skills, it is just their transfer in the new PowerShell environment for me I have difficulties with that.  I'm picturing extract names VM of the command Get - VM and then providing them to the hard disk-Get command and write VM name and output in the .csv file.

  Any help you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated to learn PowerShell.

  Thank you

  Joey

  Did you watch his pretty good RVtools and maybe gives you options of export or copied data and import it with excellent that.  Its very nice ESX administration tool.

• ESXi 4.1 upgrade to ESXi 5.5 while all virtual machines and data warehouses

  We have two servers ESXi 4.1.0 348481 (Essentials) and we need to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 for support of Windows Server R2 2012. We intend to use the interactive upgrade. We want to ensure that the virtual machine is preserved. More precisely VMFarm001 where ESXi is installed in the same data store as VMServer1. VMServer1 is our largest server and cannot be migrated to another data store easily because we are not allowed for vMotion.

  The following layout

  VMFarm001

  Dell PowerEdge R710

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 1.36 TB

  VMServer1 - MS Server 2003

  Install ESXi

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer2 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer3 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMFarm002

  HP ProLiant ML350 G5

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 95GB

  Install ESXi

  ISOs

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer4 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer5 - MS Server 2008 R2

  I have a feeling I'm worried for nothing given that option during the ESXi upgrade and keep the VMFS datastore.

  Thank you

  Yes, that's correct.

  I recently finished the upgrade of lots of stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1 (with local storage only) to 5.1 and all were successful. The same process applies to 5.5, so you shouldn't have a problem with preservation of VMFS data warehouses (and all virtual machines).

• The list of all virtual machines with more than 2 virtual disks

  Hello.

  I want to list all virtual machines in a data center vCenter, who got more than 2 virtual disks. Here's the workflow, I am working on that:

  1 get the view of data center

  2. get the Cluster Data Center view like the 'begine_entity '.

  3. for each view cluster overview the VirtualMachine bit cluster seen as 'begin_entity '.

  4. for each VM view, this information: VirtualMachine-> config-> hardware-> device of

  Above information is a table.

  I need help in order to extract information from this table disk, then run an if condition where the VM who got more than 2 discs should print.

  Could help you. I wrote the script to the point 4. just need advice for the posterior.

  Thank you.

  You can try one of the following values-

  1 If ($vm-> {'summary.config.numVirtualDisks'} > 2) {...}

  2 $diskCnt = grep {$_-> isa ('VirtualDisk')} @{$vm-> {'config.hardware.device'}};

  The above assumes that you've got your $vm with a filter property as follows:

  $vms = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine'), the properties-online ['summary.config.numVirtualDisks', 'name', 'config.hardware.device'];

  my $vm foreach (@{$vms}) {}

  ...

• List of virtual machines and their vmdk?

  Does anyone know of a way I can export each vm name and it's corresponding vmdk file name? I want to reconcile these since I know that several guests were famous and I would like to match their respective vmdk file names. I hope that there is a cool super PuTTY command so I can't install and play with PowerGUI powershell plugin: Pei

  Maybe something like RVTools

  ... also, this seems to be a pretty easy fix as well using PowerCLI

• The list of all virtual machines to a host group in Virtual Machine port group

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I would like to create a powershell script to list all my virtual machines to a host, but a group of Machine virtual PortGroup... It is possible...? I see only found Internet see the VirtualPortGroup of the host...

  Thanks in advance & looks

  All your VMS have a mapping single portgroup or it not with multiple NICs on different port groups?

  If they are all the same, then the following should work:

  Get-VM | Select Host, Name, @{N="PortGroup";E={$_.NetworkAdapters[0].NetworkName}} | Sort PortGroup, Name, Host

• The list of all virtual machines in a Datacenter

  Hello

  I have several data centers in the vCetner and I want to list virtual machines in a perticular Datacenter. Here is the script I wrote. Apologies, I am an amateur and my script is a mess;

  #! / usr/bin/perl - w
  use strict;
  Use Data::Dumper;
  use VMware::VIRuntime;
  My % opts =)
  Data Center = > {}
  Type = > "s =",
  help = > 'enter the name of the data center. "
  required = > 1,
  }
  );
  OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);
  OPTS::parse();
  OPTS::Validate();
  Util::Connect();
  my $dc = Opts::get_option ('Center');
  My $dc_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'Data center',)
  filter = > {name = > $dc});
  foreach (@$dc_views)
  {
  My $funky = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_-> vmFolder);
  My $funky2 = $funky-> childEntity;
  My $funky3 = Vim::get_views (mo_ref_array = > $funky2);
  foreach (@$funky3) {print $_-> name.} "\n"; }
  }

  When I run above to put it just said 'Discovered virtual machine:

  #perl test.pl - Server < what > - username < whatever - > password < what > - datacenter DC01_ESXi5

  Virtual machine discovery
  It would be great if someone could explain to me where I'm wrong. I don't want a script that I would like to get the desired result, indeed, I want to know where I am going wrong in above script. I find it extremely difficult to understand the structure of data API vSphere. Programming Perl is not the issue here.
  Thnaks.

  There is a somewhat easier way that browsing the inventory tree.

  If you just want to entities in a data center, you can use begin_entity in your find_entity_view* calls.

  #! / usr/bin/perl - w

  use strict;

  Use Data::Dumper;

  use VMware::VIRuntime;

  My % opts =)

  Data Center-Online {}

  type-online "s =",

  help-online "Please enter the name of the data center."

  necessary,-online 1

  }

  );

  OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  my $dc = Opts::get_option ('Center');

  My $dc_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "Data center"

  filter-online {name-online $dc},

  Properties-online ['name']);

  Don't Die "No data center named"$dc"found!" unless $dc_view;

  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine', begin_entity-online $dc_view).

  foreach my {$vm (@$vm_views)}

  Print "vm:". "." $vm-> name. "\n";

• Virtual machines and their Snap Shots

  Hey Gang,

  When I delete a VM disk, which also removes the clichés that were taken from the virtual machine?

  At least it should be. There may be situations where some files remain on the disk, for example an instant tree with different forks was created and the .vmsd file is corrupted.

• The list of all virtual machines by Datastore

  Hello

  At some point LucD posted the following answer in another thread http://communities.vmware.com/thread/293395

  Get-Datacenter | Get-VM | %{$vm = $_Get-Datastore -VM $vm | %{$vm.Name + "-" + $_.Name} } | ft -AutoSize

  You must provide an expression of value on the side right of the '-' operator.
  On line: 1 char: 41

• walk through all the virtual machines and to show whether or not advanced setting is present

  Hello

  I want to get a list of all virtual machines that shows configuration options and it is value. AND if there is a virtual machine without that I'd like to see these too the configuration.

  Get-VM-name * | Get-AdvancedSetting | where {$_.} Name - eq "monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC"} |  Select the entity, Name, Value

  The one-liner above works fairly well, but only shows machines that have this configuration in the vmx file. But I miss not configured virtual machines.

  How do I get them in the list too?

  Regards Wolfgang

  Omit the Where clause, something like this

  Get - VM |

  Select Name,

  @{N = 'monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC'; E = {}

  Get-AdvancedSetting - entity $_ - name monitor_control.enable_softResetClearTSC | Select value - ExpandProperty}}
