List of data store, SpaceProvisioned, Spaceused for multiple virtual machines

Hello

I want to list the data store, the SpaceProvisioned, the Spaceused for several virtual machines.

I wrote the following lines, but this didn t work:

$vms = get - VM v998spwmv10175n
{foreach ($vm to $vms)
$vmname = $vm. Name
$vmdiskprovisioned = $vm. ProvisionedSpaceGB
$vmdiskused = $vm. UsedSpaceGB
$vmdiskpath = get-disk hard - VM $vm | Select file name
Select @{N = "VMname"; E = {$vmname}},
@{N = "VMDiskPath"; E = {$vmdiskpath}},
@{N = "VMDiskProvisioned"; E = {$vmdiskprovisioned}},
@{N = "VMDiskUsed"; E = {$vmdiskused}} | Format-Table

}

What wrong with it? I'm away right?

THX in advance

Chakoe

The following script lists each vDisk in a separate line. The VMDiskProvisioned and VMDiskUsed properties are always those of the virtual machine.

$vms = Get-VM v998spwmv10175n
& {foreach ( $vm in $vms ) {
  $vmname = $vm.Name
  $vmdiskprovisioned = $vm.ProvisionedSpaceGB
  $vmdiskused = $vm.UsedSpaceGB
  foreach ($HardDisk in (Get-Harddisk -VM $vm)) {
    $HardDisk | Select-Object -Property @{N="VMname"; E={$vmname }},
          @{N="VMDiskPath"; E={$HardDisk.FileName}},
          @{N="VMDiskProvisioned"; E={$vmdiskprovisioned }},
          @{N="VMDiskUsed"; E={$vmdiskused  }}
  }
}}

  • Single VMDK for multiple virtual machines in esx3.5?

    Hello

    Is it possible to use a single VMDK to host several VM in ESX3.5 or is this feature on the way?  I think the vmware view tech that allows you to host multiple virtual machines to a single image and store only the deltas for VMS replca.

    We organize several ts who are about 12 GB per image, and each server is essentially the same.  It would reduce the space if these could be consolidated at the level of vmware.

    Thank you very much.

    What you are referring to the notion of linked Clones, it's something completely different to share a single VMDK.  with linked clones, you actually run mulitple copies of a single Machine.  This fuinctionality is not available in ESX Raw but is a characteristic of Lab Manager and VMware View Premium.

  • Upgrade VMware Tools for multiple virtual machines by power Cli

    Hello

    I'm looking to improve the tools of vmware for several virtual machines through scripts. As VM1, VM2, Vm3,... VM50.

    Update-tools-VM VM1 - NoReboot  (Applicable only for virtual machines unique sound)

    Any help will be appreciated in do I have to upgrade about 100 VMs which was migrated from ESX3.5 to ESXi4.1

    Thank you

    VMguys

    The cmdlet Update-tools has a NoReboot parameter.

    When you set this switch, normally should not be a reboot after the upgrade.

    Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot

    If you set the switch to $false, there will be a restart if necessary.

    Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot: $false

    Note that this method of first creating a table with all the names of the virtual machine you want, is faster than the previous example, I gave.

    In this case you only do a Get - VM with all the names, instead of 50 individual.

  • report for multiple virtual machines created

    I have a virtual machine creation script that I modified in order to be able to run in a loop using a CSV file to create more than one virtual machine at once. My original script send me an e-mail message for example:

    myesxhost

    The problem that I want to try to figure out how can I get ALL the VM's on an e-mail report. Right now, because it's a loop, each VM I create will send a report. So if I put it up to build 4 vm, it will send 4 emails... I don't like it.

    How my script works pretty well...

  • RDM mapping for multiple virtual machines

    Hi all,

    I created and associated with a 6 GB LUN me ESXi host 5.

    Now I need map that drive more then a VM under this host, I managed to add the first virtual machine disk (via 'change settings' > 'Add' > 'hard drive' > "raw device mapping"), but when I try to do the same thing to another virtual machine, I do not see the disk I used befor in the list "select target lun.

    So, is it possible to connect this same disk as raw device to VM, then one more?

    -Thanks!

    Depending on your configuration (Cluster-in-a-box, Cluster-across-boxes) you may need to configure the mode of virtual SCSI controller properly. Please take a look at http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-mscs-guide.pdf?lang=en for more details.

  • VMDK (s) shared for multiple virtual machines

    I've seen several threads on this topic, but nothing that meets quite what I'm trying to do.  I'll start by saying that I am new to the world of ESX.  I'm running ESX 3.5 (original installed license, it has since been upgraded to vSphere, but we have not yet updated the physical server).

    We have several Terminal servers running that are identical in configuration, we are looking at a SAN option but for now, we use only local storage and which has since been used to the top... and I'm putting online the more TS VM reduce the pressure on the current criteria.

    So what I was wondering if I can do (from what I've read I know that some version of it is possible, so I guess it takes more than one type of "going to work" issue) VMDK share among the many running VM.  My thoughts on this came with kind in 3 different ways:

    Have all use the same root VMDK with modifications used just for the name/IP (I think I read that it is possible through a root pointer VMDK file)

    B - Individual VMDK for installation of windows, but they all share the same VMDK 'data' hard drive which would contain "documents and settings" and "program files" location.

    C inverse of B, a VMDK root with the Windows installation, then a VMDK separate data for each virtual computer.

    The current servers are Windows 2003, but brand-new launched will be 2008 (I have a test box 2008 until now, which is what has exhausted the rest of my HD space... and that disk VMDK is really small, so I wish it were).

    Looks like you could find some advantages to implement related Clones, here are a few documents that explain the differences between a linked and thick clone and how they work:

    http://www.VMware.com/support/WS55/doc/ws_clone_overview.html

    http://Rodos.Haywood.org/2008/12/storage-analysis-of-VMware-view.html

    If this sounds like it fits your needs, it various VMware products which support this and they all have their pro/cons, and you need to assess according to your requirements and use cases:

    VMware View 3

    vSphere 4 (using the API and write your own script/application)

  • a simplistic way to change Mac for multiple virtual machines

    Hi all

    I was wondering, what is your perfered method to change MAC to a large number of virtual machines? I just cloned on 8 virtual machines to another host and VEEAM duplicated the MAC as well. So I need to change MAC 3 for each virtual computer and I got 8 of them to do so.

    I wonder if there is a quick and easy way to do this and then enter the settings?

    Thank you

  • Modify the script for multiple virtual machines

    I'm working on the powercli user to change the CPU and the memory of several virtual machines.

    I found the perfect scenario created: http://ict-freak.nl/2010/05/07/powercli-script-to-schedule-memory-and-or-vcpu-updowngrade/comment-page-1/#comment-20336

    But it's only for 1 VM.

    Can someone tell me to change so do several virtual machines.  A text file would be ideal, but I'm ready for anything as this point, nothing I try does not work.

    Thank you.

    You could do

    foreach ($vm in Get-VM-name (Get-Content:\Powercli_scripts\servers.txt))

    I don't know why it's poweroffs randomly.

    You can add the - WhatIf parameter on this line, like that it will only say what he does, without actually running the cmdlet.

  • How to access files in a folder to store data for a virtual machine?

    Hi all

    I'm relatively new to virtualization in general (I'm learning!) and have a question.  I have a host server of VMware ESXi 5.0 set in place with several VMs configured in it.  I also have various data stores configured, usually a virtual computer by the data store.  Most of the virtual machines are Windows, but one I have problems with is a machine virtual 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.  I currently manage and administer the server remotely over a slow connection.  Anticipate, the last time I was on the same network as the host server, I downloaded to a folder on the same database as the VM RHEL, about 5 GB of files that I knew that I would need to access in the VM RHEL install different software.  Now, I'm trying to "expose" these files very to the RHEL VM so I can install the software.  How would I do that?

    From what I've gathered reading other posts here, I could create an ISO that contains the files and then upload that to the server on the host to be mounted into the CD player, but my connection is so slow that would take a very long time.  I also believe that I could create a network share on my Windows 7 computer and allow the virtual machine to access the files in this way - but once again, my connection is the problem (not to mention that I do not have a GUI installed on RHEL and I'm not a Linux expert).

    None of the files I need are ISOs, unfortunately, so I can not directly mount the CD-ROM drive in the virtual computer from the data store.  If I have access to a shell on the host server, it does not recognize the command vmware-mount so I can't access the virtual disk for RHEL to just copy the files into it.  Also, it does not recognize the mkisofs command (of which i google trying to figure out if I could create the ISO on the host itself).

    So, basically, I'm looking for a way to access files in a virtual machine that are in the same bank data, as its virtual disk.  If that is possible to copy these files in virtual drive somehow, or mount a CD-ROM drive or hard drive that exposes these files on the virtual computer, I don't have a preference...  I'm just trying to not have to re - download the files in a different format (or using a different method) since they are already on the host server.

    Any suggestions would be very appreciated that - thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    one solution might be to enable SSH on the host computer and then use scp to access or download files from the host/datastore (within the Linux VM).

    Or should I be worried about the consistency of VMDK?

    Thank you very much

    > Or should I be worried about the consistency of VMDK?

    Less consistency, but more info on missing hard of header/descriptor files! It seems that someone tried to delete files of the virtual machine from the store data, but because of the locks on files that only some files have been deleted. According to the used backup application, you may be able to recover the missing files in the backup. If not, you can for example follow VMware KB: Re-create a missing virtual machine disk descriptor file, or create a new virtual machine in a laboratory environment (with the same disc size, configuration and the name) and allows to download the .vmx and hard descriptor WinSCP example files. If you have enough disk space in the lab, creating thin configured virtual disks and then change the file descriptor (remove ddb.thinProvisioned = '1')

  • RDM for several virtual machines on the same LUN

    Hi, I have a requirement for multiple virtual machines to have access to the same LUN filestore. I think create ROW for each virtual computer to the LUN. I wanted to ask if this is possible and if someone put in place before?

    Are there issues making this record to file/san locks?

    Thank you

    Once you add the raw device map to a virtual computer, you can not add it to each other as well.

    It would satisfy your requirement to add to a virtual computer, assign it a drive name or folder, then that spread out and have another card SMV a drive to it?  Depending on what you're trying to do, which can satisfy because it will work.

  • What is the advantage to affect multiple virtual machines in a data store?

    Hello

    Quite a question stupid and basic, but I can't answer . What is the advantage of having multiple virtual machines in a store of VMFS data instead of having each VM in another VMFS data store? (eg. 3 VMs in 1 data store or 3 data warehouses and each virtual machine in one of them). I can only think about the ease of management for storage administrator because it creates only a single large LUN.

    Thank you

    By allowing multiple virtual machines in a data store, you can run more than 256 virtual machines in a DRS cluster.

    As a host has a limit of 256 scsi identification numbers, which means that it accesses no more than 255 LUNS shared. 1 scsi ID is used for local storage.

    In a DRS cluster as each host must be mapped to the same data warehouses to ensure that virtual machines can be moved on the cluster and run on any of the hosts.

    Now in my life as an architect VMware PSO I saw that a lot of virtual machines that require a single data store. The main reason to isolate a virtual machine on a data store must provide sufficient i/o performance. This can be achieved with other solutions than to isolate a virtual machine on a data store. Having a properly architected storage subsystem is crucial, vSphere can get out of a very large number of the IOPS / s. With technologies such as SIOC and DRS for storage, you can check that the virtual machines receive IO performance according to the needs.

  • How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store?

  • Script to create multiple virtual machines model works is not for the network adapter variable

    We are working on a script to create multiple virtual machines from a template. The script works fine, but when we try to include commands to set the NIC to a group of specific ports on a dvswitch script errors on. Here's what we have so far. This script (less network variables) works, but we would like to include the network configs in the script as well.

    -------------------

    This is the part of the script that configures the network/dvswitch adapter... but does not work properly.

    $myResourcePool = get-ResourcePool-name DQOL

    $dsName = get-Datastore-name "DQOL-DS01.

    $myTemplate = get-Template-name "DQVTemplate".

    You cannot use the - model and Networkname - parameters of the cmdlet New - VM in a single order, because both are in different parameter sets. You must first create the virtual machine and then use the cmdlet Set-NetworkAdapter to change the portgroup of the virtual machine. As in example 4, assistance from cmdlet Set-NIC:

    --------------  Example 4 --------------

    C:\PS>$myNetworkAdapters = Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter-name "NIC 1.
    $myVDPortGroup = get-VDPortgroup-name MyVDPortGroup
    Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkAdapter - $myNetworkAdapters - $myVDPortGroup Portgroup

    Retrieves all network named "NIC 1" cards of all virtual machines and connects to the specified distributed port group.
