• 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.

• 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}) {}

  ...

• All virtual machines running on ESXi 5.1 statement of Rx packet loss

  Can some of you please do me a favor? Find a virtual machine of yours running on ESXi 5.1, preferably 1117900 and let me know if you see a Rx packet loss in performance stats vCenter provides. Each single VM in my environment records packet loss. Virtual machines running on ESXi 5.0 are not related that at all. This also isn't a problem at the level of the host that there is no loss of package noted it.

• 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 =",

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

  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 {}

  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).

• 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
  

  If you found this information useful, please consider the allocation of points for correct or helpful.

• List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

  In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

  And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

  So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

  However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

  I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

  My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

  In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

  my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

  filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
  {if ($cluster_view)}
  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  begin_entity => $cluster_view.

  Properties-online ['name']);
  foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
  print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
  }
  }

  Hope that helps!

• All virtual machines with VLAN

  I'm trying to get a list of all virtual machines in a given VCenter, with their VIRTUAL networks. Can anyone help?

  If your virtual machines are connected to dvSwitches instead of ordinary vSwitches?

• Run a Windows command on all virtual machines

  Using PowerCLI, is it possible to run a Windows command on all virtual machines?  I would like to hiberbation disabled on all my servers as it is unnecessary and take up disk space.  Running powercfg-h off will do, but I really want to do it on all 200 of my VM.

  I can't seem to find the option in group policy, so I was hoping that this could be an option.

  The above posts are excellent resolutions. Here is another possible approach.

  You can do this with a Powershell script. Something like this should work:

  1. The list of virtual machines:

  SE connect-ViServer here VCenter server name

  $vms = get - VM

  1. If you have installed Powershell and PSRemoting enabled on each virtual machine, run the following:

  $vms | foreach-object {Invoke-Command - ComputerName $_.} Name - ScriptBlock {powercfg - h}

  1. If you have not installed Powershell and PSRemoting on each virtual machine, use WMI:

  foreach ($vm to $vms)

  {

  $vmName = $vm. Name

  (\[WMIClass\] ")
  (' $vmName\ROOT\CIMV2: Win32_Process "). Create ("cmd /c powercfg - h)

  }

  You should probably use the WMI method since it is unlikely that all of your virtual machines have Powershell installed and configured for remote access.

  Hi gurrus and LucD

  I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

  The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.

• Is no vmdk file, but the script says, all virtual machines backed up Ok!

  Hello everyone;

  Please excuse any lack of details because this is the first time that I write. I've scoured internet for days now trying to find no matter how much detail that could help me solve the problem. I'm new in the world of script ESXi and ghettoVCB.

  My intention is to run several tasks on a schedule. Each type of backup (quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily and multiple) runs at a specific time. The planning section works very well.

  I'm hoping to solve this urgent backup, I should be able to solve reboot.

  Here is the command I use:

  /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB.sh w /tmp/ghettoVCB-work.multiple f/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmlist-Multiple g/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmconfig-DataSet1-multiple-l /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB_logs/ghettoVCB.Multiple_Backup.log

  vmconfig-DataSet1-multiple contains:

  # Multiple backups - rotation County 6

  #

  VM_BACKUP_VOLUME = / vmfs/volumes/Vault2-DataSet1/URANUS/Multiple

  DISK_BACKUP_FORMAT = thin

  VM_BACKUP_ROTATION_COUNT = 6

  POWER_VM_DOWN_BEFORE_BACKUP = 0

  ENABLE_HARD_POWER_OFF = 0

  ITER_TO_WAIT_SHUTDOWN = 4

  POWER_DOWN_TIMEOUT = 5

  SNAPSHOT_TIMEOUT = 15

  ENABLE_COMPRESSION = 0

  VM_SNAPSHOT_MEMORY = 0

  VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE = 0

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP =

  Vmlist-multiple contains 1 server is listed:

  # List all virtual machines that are backed up several times a day

  HEAT

  The log indicates that the backup was successful - but it has not been the case. Backup size should be approximately 8 GB. However, when you look at the output folder, only the following files are here:

  
  

  HEAT.vmx

  STATUS.ok

  Question is now - where are the vmdk files that should be present?

  Output (-d debug) can be found here: http://pastebin.com/hMGphTL3

  So, here is what I observed:

  When you run the script, the snapshot only takes a few seconds to create and delete then. I'm seeing happens on the list of the tasks of vSphere Rencent (screenshot attached).

  If I create a snapshot manually - it will take much more time to create and delete a snapshot. The difference here is 6 minutes, and 4 seconds using the script create a snapshot manually.

  So my presumption is that he is not actually create the snapshot, although vSphere said it is being created. So why is it the case?

  Help, please.

  ADDENDUM:

  If I run the following:

  ./ghettoVCB.sh m HEAT

  The backup is successful.

  Your said he clearly did not config file to back up all files hard.

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP =

  I expect to see something like this if you want all the hard files

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP = "all".

• 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

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