List of instant vm via a txt or csv file

Hello

I want to create a workflow to create a snapshot of the vm list, this list of virtual machine must be a txt or csv file.

the file will be asking when I run the workfow (browse file) or a UNC path is already configured in the workflow.

someone has an idea?

An example of code here is in a workflow, I wrote for vCloud Director 1 imported users from a csv file that has been uploaded to the server of the vCO. The variable "csvfile" is my MimeAttachment entry, the server has been configured to allow read/write in the folder c:\orchestrator...

var csvContent = csvFile.content;
var csvFileName = "c:\\Orchestrator\\csvFile.csv";
csvFile.write("c:\\Orchestrator\\","csvFile.csv");
System.log("csvFileName: "+csvFileName);
var host = organization.parent;
// Now use file to create FileReader object:
var fileReader = new FileReader(csvFileName);
if (fileReader.exists){
    fileReader.open();
    var line=fileReader.readLine();
    System.log("Headers: \n"+line);
    line = fileReader.readLine();
    while (line != null){
        var lineValues = line.split(",");
        var username = lineValues[0];
var username = lineValues[0];
        var password = lineValues[1];
        var enabled = lineValues[2];
        var role = lineValues[3];
        var fullname = lineValues[4];
        var email = lineValues[5];
        var phone = lineValues[6];
        var im = lineValues[7];
        var storedvmquota = lineValues[8];
        var runningvmquota = lineValues[9];
        var vcdRole = System.getModule("com.vmware.pso.vcd.roles").getRoleByName(host,role);
        System.log("Role name found: "+vcdRole.name);
        System.log("Attempting to create User Params");
        var userParams = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vCloud.Admin.User").createUserParams(
                    username, fullname, enabled, false,
                    email, phone, null, password, vcdRole,
                    false, runningvmquota,
                    false, storedvmquota
                 );
        var userOut = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vCloud.Admin.User").createUser(organization, userParams);
        userOut.im = im;
        userOut.update();
        System.log(userOut.name + " imported...");
        line = fileReader.readLine();
    }
    fileReader.close();
    // now cleanup by deleting the uploaded file from the server
    var file = new File(csvFileName);
    System.log("Filename: "+file.name);
    deleteFile(csvFileName);
}else{
    System.log("Error! File not found! "+csvFileName);
}

function deleteFile(fileName) {
    var file = new File(fileName);
       if (file.exists) {
               file.deleteFile();
          }
}

And who gets a VC:VirtualMachine object in vm name where "vmName" is the string entry containing the name to search and "vCenterVM" is the purpose of VC:VirtualMachine resulting code example:

var vms = VcPlugin.getAllVirtualMachines(null, "xpath:name='"+vmName+"'");
var vCenterVM = null;
if (vms != null){
    if (vms.length == 1){
        System.log("Match found for vm named: "+vmName);
        vCenterVM = vms[0];
    }else{
        System.log("More than one VM found with that name! "+vmName);
        for each (vm in vms){
            System.log("VM ID: "+vm.id);
        }
    }
}

  • .txt or CSV file to the database

    Hi-

    I have a file of text generated by a Pulse Oximeter, what I want is, as the system is receiving the file (CSV .txt) he automaticly walked into a MySql or SQL Server database and generates an SMS message. Thank you

    Concerning

    Tayyab Hussain

    Web services involve using sychronous communication. However, the use case you describe means that asynchronous, the so-called fire-and-forget, communication is better suited to your needs.

    For example, with sychronous communication, the system ignores the exact moment where in a TXT or CSV file will come. Also, when the Treaty system a file, all the other treatments waits until the system ends. This can cause synchronization problems if multiple files enter the system in quick succession.

    ColdFusion is an asynchronous solution that fits the requirements of your use case. The following methods will allow you to receive the file to automatically enter data and generate an SMS message. Use the DirectoryWatcher gateway in ColdFusion to monitor the directory in which the TXT or CSV files are deleted and events of ColdFusion SMS gateway to send SMS messages.

    Whenever a third party files a file in the directory, an event is triggered, setting the DirectoryWatcher in action. Set up a query to the onAdd of listener of the DirectoryWatcher CFC method to store the file in the database.  Following the request, use the sendGatewayMessage method to send the SMS message.

  • Using the Instant Client via OIC

    Hello world

    A developer says he has problem to connect to Oracle and I asked how do you connect from his pc. He said that it is "use Instant Client via OIC."

    Please enlighten me on this.

    OIC is the Oracle Call Interface and Instant Client implements this API.

  • Create the list of virtual machines to exclude the script through .csv file?

    Hello

    I have a script that runs all day off hours to check my VMs respect some things, like having the option to 'VM tools upgrade policy' checked. The script will export a list of virtual machines that DO NOT have this option enabled and then later to fix the problem. Now, for some specific VMS, I don't want to have the option active and want to exclude them from this review. I try to add a list of these virtual machines I want to exclude from my check script of VMTools_UpgradePolicy via a .csv file containing their names. Here's what I have:

    ##############################################
    #VMTools update during the feeding cycle - report
    ##############################################
    function Report_VMTools_UpgradePolicy {}
    $list = import-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\EXCLUDE LIST\EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv".
    foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name}
    $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
    $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
    }

    The content of the EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv is as follows:

    'Name '.
    "VM1.
    "VM2.

    "VM3.

    I try to get all the virtual machines in my environment who have the ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual' (unchecked), AND which do not match any of the names on my list of exclusions (VM1, VM2, VM3). My script so far will do what I want, except that only the last entry in my list of exclusions will take into account. VM1 and VM2 will still be reported as VMs that need to be addressed.

    I'm not sure that I am taking the right approach with this, I will continue to seek a solution for what I want, but any help would be appreciated! I prefer to make my list of exclusion to a separate file, for example "EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv", because I want that other administrators to be able to just open this .csv file and add virtual machines to this list without having to touch my scripts.

    Thank you!

    Vince

    Hi Vince,.

    It is like that I think because of your statement:

    foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name} -> it
    $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
    $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
    }

    $exclude is a variable that contains only 1 entry., that's why you see only the last element inside. It will not be an array.

    foreach ($entry in $list) {[string []]+ $exclude = Get-VM-name $entry.} Name}

    This will fill $exclude table with entries of string that will contain the names of virtual machine.

    And when you will be comparing. I think you should use

    where {$exclude - notcontains $_.} Name - and... the rest

    Kind regards

  • Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

    Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

    # #SCRIPT_START

    $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

    $Import = import-csv $file

    $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

    $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

    $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

    $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

    # #SCRIPT_END

    You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

    An example of this cmdley

    New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

    In your case, you could do

    Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

    But beware of negative numbers.

  • Helps to replace a string in a txt file with a string from a csv file

    Hi all

    I worked on the script following since a few days now, determined to exhaust my own knowledge before asking for help... Unfortunately, it didn't take very long to exhaust my knowledge :-(

    Basically, I need to replace a value in a single file (raw.txt) with the value of another file (userids.csv) when a variable is. Then I released the results of a third file.

    To do this, I divided the "raw" file into variables using the ',' as the separator, the problem is that some variables are intentionally empty, where the fi $variable = "statements.

    It is currently what I want to do but only when the userids.csv file contains a single line. It is obviously because of the foreach ($user in import)... What I need to figure out is how to loop through the file raw.txt, text replacement when a variable in the user ID file is the text in raw.txt... I hope that makes sense?

    The user ID file is in the following format - user, service, Dept that can contain dozens of lines

    I would appreciate any pointers :-)

    See you soon

    # Treatment
    $importraw = get-content i:\raw.txt

    If ($sixth - eq ") {}
    $temp6 = "6TEMP".
    Write-Host "field Null detected - assigning temporary value:"$temp6 ".

  • How to export data from $esxcli.nmp.satp.list () to a CSV file

    Hello world

    I am new to scripting. I created a script that will display the data for each host in a cluster to the powercli screen.

    SE connect-VIServer (name of the vCenter server)

    Foreach ($vmhost Get-cluster "Cluster Name" |) Get-VMHost | Name Sort-Object)

    {

    $esxcli = get-EsxCli - VMHost $vmhost

    Write-host - foregroundcolor green "Server:"$vmhost. "

    }

    Disconnect VIServer (name of the vCenter server) - confirm: $false

    I need help to get the data, the script displays an on-screen in a CSV file. Help will be very appreciated.

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware VMTN communities.

    You were pretty close with your script. There are two things I want to say about it:

    First of all, in PowerShell you do not use parentheses around parameter in the cmdlet or function call as in other programming or scripting languages.

    Second, to use the Get-EsxCli cmdlet you must be connected directly to the host. That's why I introduced a Connect-VIserver inside the loop.

    Here's my solution that writes the output to a file called storage.csv.

    Connect-VIServer "vCenter server name"
    
    Get-Cluster "Cluster Name" |
    Get-VMHost |
    Sort-Object -Property Name |
    ForEach-Object {
      $vmhost = $_
      Write-Host -foregroundcolor green "Server: $($vmhost.Name)"
      Connect-VIServer $vmhost.Name  | Out-Null
      $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $vmhost
      $esxcli.storage.nmp.satp.list()
      Disconnect-VIServer $vmhost.Name -Confirm:$false | Out-Null
    } |
    Export-Csv -Path storage.csv -UseCulture -NoTypeInformation 
    
    Disconnect-VIServer "vCenter server name" -Confirm:$false
    

    Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

  • VM list name and the cluster that it flows in a CSV file

    Hello

    I want to have a created CSV file that will conaitn 2 fields: vm_name, vm_custer

    Which means, I want to list the name of the virtual machine and the cluster is running in a CSV file.

    Here is the code I wrote:

    #! / usr/bin/perl - w
    use strict;
    Use Data::Dumper;
    use VMware::VIRuntime;
    My % opts = (data center = > {})

    my $dc = Opts::get_option ("data center");
    My $dc_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = > 'Data center',)

    My $clu_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > "ComputeResource")

    My $vm_view = $host_hash_ref-> virtual machine;
    foreach (@$vm_view)
    {
    My $vm_hash_ref = Vim::get_view (mo_ref = > $_);
    My $vm_name = $vm_hash_ref-> name;
    $FH print $clu_name. ", ".  $vm_name. », «. "\n" unless $clu_name = ~ m/0bld0 /; "
    }
    }
    }
    Close ($FH);
    Util::disconnect;

    Now, I get the CSV file created as I wanted to, but the question is, there are 3500 + VMs in vCenter and this script side took 50 minutes to complete. It is therefore a huge performance impact. Also, I don't like the concept of 3 layers netsted foreach loops.

    Therefore, there is an effective way to get this information?

    Thank you.

    Your welcome.  It could be made faster, but the complexity of the additional code is probably not worth if the runtime you have now is enough.  No doubt, you can add additional data to your report without too slow.

    You can also find the script works faster or slower depending on what is happening in your virtual center system.

    Thanks for the update on the success!

  • Simple question - from the computer virtual in a list in a CSV file

    Hello

    Hello

    You use correctly the data in the csv file. Whne you import a csv file, the result is an array of objects PSCustomObject. So in order to make your script to work, you must change it like that...

    {foreach ($obj in $vmcsv)

    Get - Vm $obj.vm | Start-Vm

    }

    PS I guess DR_VM1, etc. are the names of the virtual machines that you want to turn on!
