List of virtual machines with Firmware Boot set to EFI

Unfortunately today we met the problem described in this KB.

VMware KB: Start the virtual machine from Windows using EMC XtremIO storage EFI fails with the error: System startup are not v...

I was wondering if anyone had a script that could go out and find all the virtual machines in our environment have the value EFI firmware boot option.

Thank you

You can do the following to list used by VM boot firmware

Get - VM | Select Name,@{N='BootFirmware'; E={$_. ExtensionData.Config.Firmware}}

Or to not see that those who use EFI, you could do

Get - VM | where {$_.} ExtensionData.Config.Firmware - eq "efi"} | Select name

  • List of virtual machines with static IP

    VMware gurus,

    I'm trying to generate a list of virtual machines that are configured with static IP address.

    IPPolicy: static

    I need a script that returns the name of the virtual machine that has static to IPpolicy.

    Jadapa RHCE, MCSA

    http://linuxgurus.WordPress.com

    You can create a list of virtual machines with static IP addresses with the following script PowerCLI:

    Get-VM | `
      Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface -GuestUser User -GuestPassword Password -HostUser User -HostPassword Password | `
      Select-Object -property VM,IPPolicy | `

  • 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?

  • Script to the list of virtual machines with their VMDK on warehouses of data with their LUN ID.

    Hey gang - I have one here, I wonder if anyone has some ideas...

    Our storage team is looking for a report that can be generated to display each VM, each VMDK for this virtual machine and the data store on the VMDK is the canonical name of the data store - and throw in a delimited file of semicolon for their own transformation...

    I have thousands of VMS over hundreds of hosts and data warehouses and also have a handful of RDM. so, I'm looking for the most effective way to go about it.

    Should look like this:

    VMName; VMDKName, the data store; MONDAY

    somevm; somevm.vmdk; DATASTORE1; NAA.60050723145982asd29823blahblah1

    somevm; somevm_1.vmdk; DATASTORE2; NAA.60050723145982asd29823blahblah2

    Any ideas?

    The following PowerCLI script will give you the report requested on the virtual machines and their VMDK files. It also takes account of the fact that a data store can have several extensions:

    Get-VM |
    Get-HardDisk |
    Select-Object -Property @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent}},
    @{N="VMDK";E={$_.FileName.Split('/')[1]}},
    @{N="Datastore";E={$_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')}},
    @{N="LunID";E={[string]::Join(',',((Get-Datastore $_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')).Extensiondata.Info.Vmfs.Extent |
      Select-Object -ExpandProperty DiskName))}}

  • 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?

  • Create an array of Virtual Machines with an index to allow the selection of the index entry

    I would like to help with the following.

    Using the GET - vm to return all the virtual machines in a table or a table, but with a number of index against each of them. Perhaps even the number of its position in the matrix or $myarray [0]. I am struggling with the best way to go, be it a table to 2 dimensions or an object, but then how do I get the numbers in there.

    The reason for this is to present a list of virtual machines with a number on the side, to which the user then enters the number instead of having to type the name of the virtual machine.

    Ideally resembling:

    vCenter 0

    1 Exchange

    2 FilePrint

    3 SQL

    4 DC

    $vms = $get - vm | Select name

      1. a way to get the number. ##

    $vmsindexed =?

    '' This is the virtual machines to the choice.

    " "

    $vmindexed

    " "

    $selectedNum = read-host "enter the number of the Virtual Machine to power on.

    $selectedVM = $vms [$selectedNum]

    "You have selected Machine virtual $selectedVM.

    " "

    Start-VM - VM $selectedVM

    Thank you in advance, I'm going crazy thinking about it!

    The following script will give you a list of virtual machines with a number on the front, then you can type the number, choose the virtual machine you want to start:

    $VMs = Get-VM
    $VMsArray = @()
    $VMs | ForEach-Object { $VMsArray += $_.Name }
    Write-Output "Here are the virtual machines to choose from"
    Write-Output ""
    For ($i = 0; $i -lt $VMsArray.Length; $i++ ) { Write-Output "$i $($VMsArray[$i])"}
    Write-Output ""
    $SelectedNum = Read-Host "Enter the number of the Virtual Machine to Power On"
    $SelectedVM = $VMsArray[$SelectedNum]

  • 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

    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.

  • 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}) {}

    ...

  • Try the list of virtual machines by NetworkName, then add advanced settings

    Hello

    I'm trying to connect to a host (not a vCenter), list the virtual machines, select the different networks of those in two, then apply two advanced settings for the virtual machine.

    So far, I have this:

    $vms = get - VM

    SE connect-VIServer $esxi - user $user-password $pass

    {foreach ($vm to $vms)

    If (Get-NetworkAdapter - vm $vm.name |?) {{$_.NetworkName - eq "VLAN70"})}

    New-AdvancedSetting $vm - isolation.tools.copy.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

    New-AdvancedSetting $vm - isolation.tools.paste.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

    }

    }

    Disconnect-VIServer $esxi - confirm: $false

    First of all, how I add a second network to verify - if 'VLAN70' or 'VLAN80 '?

    Secondly, there is a smarter way of writing this script?  I'm doors beginning with PowerCLI, but I think even my grandmother could write a better version...

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

    -virtualhobbit

    I see, so you could do something like this

    $tgtVLAN = "VLAN80", "VLAN80", "VLAN90".

    SE connect-VIServer $esxi - user $user-password $pass

    Get - VM |

    where {(Get-NetworkAdapter-VM $_ | % {$tgtVLAN-contient $_.NetworkName}) - contains $true} | %{

    New-AdvancedSetting $_ - isolation.tools.copy.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

    New-AdvancedSetting $_ - isolation.tools.paste.disable name-set to false - confirm: $false - Force: $true

    }

  • URGENT! After installing 6 Fusion and creation of new virtual machine with Windows 7, I get a message "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit". WHAT SHOULD DO?

    After purchase, installation and activation Fusion 6 with the license key, I had a library of VMS showing 2 Boot Camp partitions. It's strange that I only have 1.
    I tried to activate them but received a message that it is out of date in 2 cases. (see annex 1)

    I started a new virtual machine with a Windows 7 installation disc directly on my HD. I have provided a way to do this and followed the instructions of Fusion to the screen.

    Apparently, everything went well and after several restarts, the installation appears to be over (see annex 2) I tried to open and run the installed Windows 7. I had however a window with the following message:

    "Pending the unit.

    "VMware Fusion cannot enter the unit. Please wait until the unit starts automatically, or interact with the virtual machine below. ' (see annex 3)

    Here Windows 7 seems to start but after a while with the home screen and of the Øresund finishing this window closed and open a new window called library Virtual Machine on the left showing the partitions of Bootcamp and the Virtual Machine Windows 7 x 64 and in the middle gray a representation of what is supposed to be the Windows 7 desktop. (see Exhibit 4). When I opened the settings button a window with different setting options pops up. This mark means to me that Windows is installed but the final opening isn't the case

    When you quit Vmware Fusion indeed Windows seems to be close (see part 5)

    What is going on? What has gone wrong? What should I do? I don't know how to solve the problem.

    I should f.i. remove the virtual machine from Windows 7 and is free automatically made partition on my HD as the reboot with the Windows installation disc? or y at - it another way to enter the UNIT?

    Help, please!

    Thanks in advance

    Your virtual machine is running. It is in the unit - which each windows gets its own window of Mac - and you have no application Windows running, there is no visible windows. You can start a Windows application in the start of Fusion menu in the menu bar at the top right, or turn on the Windows task bar on the view menu and start applications from there. Or use the view menu to switch to the Single mode or full-screen, which puts all of your Windows desktop in a window separate from Mac.

    You do not have two partitions to Boot Camp on your Mac, you have two virtual machines named "Boot Camp partition".

    The message about it being unable to enter the unit arrives while the merger is pending for the tools begin to run, because the tool is necessary for the unit.
