• Newbie question: list the Configuration of virtual machines and data warehouses

  Hello

  I'm new on using powercli how to list all virtual machines in a certain data center, their memory, Procs and what data warehouses they are on.

  I know you can use get - vm | Select-object name, NumCPU MemoryMB but if I add DatastoreIdList as well, it doesn't seem to work.  What Miss me

  Thank you very much

  Laurence

  That's right, you could do

  Get-VM MyVM | Select Name,@{N="DS";E={[string]::join(',',($_.datastoreidlist|%{(Get-View -Id $_).Name}))}},Description |
      Export-Csv "C:\test.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  Just look at whether the separator for CSV is be a comma in your culture, you probably need to adjust the separator in the Join method!

• Moving propelled out of virtual machines between data warehouses

  I need to create a script to move a list of virtual machines in the current in another data store.

  The script must move the first VM, wait for the operation to complete, and then move the second and so on.

  Y at - it no samples can I start from?

  Concerning

  Marius

  You can check VMRelocatedEvent with Get-ViEvent.

  Something like that

  $targetVM = "MyVM.

  $finished = $false

  {while(!$finished)}

  If ((Get-Date) Get-VIEvent-Start. AddMinutes(-15) - MaxSamples ([int]: MaxValue) |

  where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.VmRelocatedEvent] - and $_.} {Vm.Name - eq $targetVM)}

  $finished = $true

  }

  else {}

  Sleep 30

  }

• 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).

• Can you pass offline virtual machines between data warehouses using the 'Migration' with the basic Kit Essentials feature?

  I speak not of Essentials Plus vMotion between hosts or migration of VMS between hosts and data warehouses online. Just curious to know if its possible to off a virtual machine and click the button to migrate to another store of data with the basic Essentials bundle.

  Welcome to the community - Yes you can - it's what we call a cold migration.

• Script to find virtual machines on data warehouses that begin by...

  I'm looking for a script that will list all VM on specific data with the initial T1SDX1 letters warehouses. I tried to use a certain liners, I found, but they do not seem to work. Here's what I'm not, but it does not list the VM.

  Get-Cluster "Test Cluster" | Get-vm |?{($_.extensiondata.config.datastoreurl|%{$_.name}) -like "T1SDX1"}| Export-Csv "H:\Excel_Reports\vms_on_whatDS.csv"
  

  I tried to use the same command - and -contains the command. Both show no results. I tried a single line, I found here, but it signals a TON of data I don't need and does not even get the info, I need.

  Get-Cluster "your_cluster"|Get-vm |?{($_.extensiondata.config.datastoreurl|%{$_.name}) -match "^T"}
  

  In fact, I found an old script I used who shot all s VM on all data warehouses. It works, I'll just filter across the worksheet.

  Here's the script if anyone cares or she wants:

  $Today = (Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd-HH.mm")
  $vcenter = $defaultVIServers
  $report = Get-Datacenter | Get-Datastore | Foreach-Object {
      $ds = $_.Name
      $_ | Get-VM | Select-Object Name,@{n='DataStore';e={$ds}} |
      }
  $report | Export-Csv "H:\Excel_Reports\DS.stats.$vcenter.$today.csv" -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

• Script to import virtual machines from data warehouses

  Is there a quick way to import all of the virtual machines on a data store in a vCenter?  A kind of browse VMX files and import?

  More to the point.  I have the only store of data that has been moved to a new location with approximately 100 VM on it.  I want to import all the virtual machines on this unique to a single host data store to the new location.

  Thank you

  Boston Tech Guy

  You can specify the name of this 1 data store in the variable $Datastores .

  And if you change this line

  $ESXHost= Get-Cluster$Cluster| Get-VMHost|select-First1

  in

  $ESXHost=Get-VMHost -Name MyEsx

  It should do the trick.

• looking for a script to the list of virtual machines by datastore

  Someone at - it a script that lists each data store, then the virtual machines that are on it. Or maybe the list all virtual machines and data store or data warehouses is located in the virtual machine?

  Thank you

  This should do the trick for you.  In fact, it extends the computer object complete virtual with a property data store so you can still search the other aspects of the virtual machine.

  Get-Datastore. WHERE-object {$_.} {Name - like "DMX *"} | {ForEach-Object

  $dsname = $_. Name

  $_ | Get - VM | {ForEach-Object

  $($_ | Add - Member MemberType NoteProperty-name of store data-value $dsname - PassThru) | Select-object Name, host, Datastore

  }

• 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

  $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

  Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

  # #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.

• Script to get 1 csv by cluster with associated information (list of virtual machines, host capacity, IOPS / s...)

  Hi all, I'm new here and it's been days I'm trying to find the right script to the list of virtual machines and related information on each cluster and get 1 csv for each individual cluster.

  Here is my code:

  Get-content C:\cl.txt | % {

  $cl = $_

  Get - VM | Select-Object @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, @{Expression = 'Host'; Label = "ESX host"}, @{Expression = "Name"; Label is "VM"},

  @{Expression = "Numcpu"; Label = 'vCPU'}, @{Expression = "MemoryGB"; Label = "RAM (GB)"}, "

  @{n = "Provisioned Volume"; e = {[math]: tour ($_.)}} (ProvisionedSpaceGB, 2)}}, @{n = "Use the Volume"; e = {[math]: tour ($_.)}} (UsedSpaceGB, 2)}},

  @{N = "Ops ARE/s/write"; E = {[math]: tour ((Get-Stat $_-stat "datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average"-en temps réel |))} Select - expand the value | measure - average). Average, 1)}},

  @{N = "Ops ARE/s/reading"; E = {[math]: tour ((Get-Stat $_-stat "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average"-en temps réel |))} Select - expand the value | measure - average). Average, 1)}} | Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture 'C:\vm_report_$cl.csv '.

  }

  Note: each csv is generated for each cluster

  CL.txt lists the clusters , but all I get is several files with the same content, and they are not properly renamed

  How can I do to generate 1 csv by cluster ?

  For example, there are 3 groups A1, A2, A3 (in file cl.txt), we get 3 csv files generated individually A1.csv, A2.csv and A3.csv and related data in them:

  A1.csv :                                                                 A2.csv :                                                                    A3.csv

  Host cluster VM RAM (GB) Cluster ESX VM RAM (GB) Cluster Host ESX VM ESX host

  A1 sx0001 su19001 4 sx0001adm 32 su1386adm su10670 A3 iu01990 A2

  Sx0001 su23000 A1 2 A2 sx0001adm su12404 32 A3 sx1385adm su10034

  Sx0002 su55000 sx0002pack sw12785 A1 2 A2 1 A3 su1384adm iu00025

  Help with this script would you gladly.

  Thank you

  Joseph.

  Judging by the timestamp, it seems that these files with spaces between the file name and file type, were made yesterday.

  This might have been one of your previous tests?

  Maybe do a series of tests of the script in an empty folder.

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?

• Producing a list of virtual machines not in a folder

  As the subject says, we back up our virtual machines via vRanger connection based on this record, they are in inventory / models and virtual computers. To ensure the backup all VM I would generate a weekly report that lists the virtual machines that are not in a folder. I am able to produce lists of virtual machines with the code below, but that doesn't really help me. I tried to use the name instead of "nom_de_dossier" data center with no luck. Is it even possible to do?

  Get-VM -Location (Get-Folder 'foldername') | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture c:\VMInfo.csv
  

  Have you already tried that?

  Get-VM -Location (Get-Folder vm) -NoRecursion
  

  It uses the 'vm' hidden folder that contains all of the virtual machines at the root of the datacenter (s)

• How to import the list of virtual machines to complete a table in a workflow

  When you run the followingworkflow/library/vCenter/batch/run a workflow on a selection of objects

  How import you a list of virtual machines to complete the table of virtual machines?

  At this moment we are manually by selecting the virtual machines and adding them to the table individually which is very tedious. We would simply import a list.

  There is a certain ways that you can do what you're trying to do, but from your description, it looks like a wrapper will work best.  I enclose a simple workflow that loads the table from a csv file.  There is no error checking going on, but it should help you get started and you can expand on it from there.

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

  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.

  foreach ($rp in Get-ResourcePool-location $cluster) {}

  foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location the $rp |)) Where {Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $_______ | where {$_.}} Type - eq "e1000"}})) {}

  $report += $vm. Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. Name}},
