• Script to automate the affinity of the crib of DRS-groups

  Hello

  I am trying to automate the rules of affinity for the drs Group Manager. The idea is to let some virtual machines running on

  assigned to the esx host (type 'Run VMs on Hosts' / 'Should run on hosts in the group').

  Background: we have esx hosts in two data centers interconnected 10 giga with a metrocluster netapp on each site hosting the nfs exports. I created two groups of type "Host DRS Groups" (in datacenter esx host a go into one, hosts datacenter b go the other) and two groups of type 'Machine virtual DRS Groups' (virtual machines hosted on export nfs one go into one, while the virtual machines hosted on nfs export b go the other). In this way, we can prevent nfs/iscsi traffic across data centers.

  Create the rules manually in a small cluster works. However with dozens of virtual machines in the other groups, there must be a way to automate the task and that it is regualary. I let powercli generate a list of VMS according to nfs export (hard location is either the field a or site b) then import the given in the Virtual Machine DRS group concerned.

  Using get-drsrule-Cluster 'cluster ' | Export-CliXml does not display a details for groups of DRS HOST or Virtual Machine DRS. Is it possible to do it at all? I recon using set-drsrule let me import rules.

  Any help / ideas is appreceated.

  Concerning

  Sascha

  The current DrsRule cmdlets do not, all I know, allows you to work with groups of DRS.

  As an alternative, you can use the ReconfigureComputeResource method that is available.

  The script should look like this

  $clusterName = "MyCluster"
  $cluster = Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName
  
   $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
  $groupVM = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec $groupVM.operation = "add" $groupVM.Info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterVmGroup $groupVM.Info.Name = "Grouped VM" 
  
  Get-VM -Name MyVM1* | %{
      $groupVM.Info.VM += $_.Extensiondata.MoRef
  }
  $spec.GroupSpec += $groupVM
  $groupESX = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec $groupESX.operation = "add"$groupESX.Info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterHostGroup$groupESX.Info.Name = "Grouped Host"
  
  Get-VMHost -Name MyHost1* | %{
      $groupESX.Info.Host += $_.Extensiondata.MoRef
  }
  $spec.GroupSpec += $groupESX
  $rule = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterRuleSpec$rule.operation = "add"$rule.info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterVmHostRuleInfo$rule.info.enabled = $true$rule.info.name = "Test DRS group rule"$rule.info.mandatory = $true$rule.info.vmGroupName = "Grouped VM"$rule.info.affineHostGroupName = "Group Host"$spec.RulesSpec += $rule
  $cluster.ExtensionData.ReconfigureComputeResource($spec,$true)
  
  The script first creates 2 DRS groups. One with the VMs and one with the ESX(i) servers.
  

  In the example, there all customers whose name starts with "MyVM1" for a group and all hosts whose name begins with "MyHost1" to the other group.

  These 2 selections will of course be changed for your configuration. Let me know what selection rules you want to implement for virtual machines and hosts and I can update the script.

  The script then creates a rule. Note that the rule specifies $true for the "required" property

  This means that a virtual machine will not be powered on if the placement host does not match the rule.

  The 2nd parameter to the ReconfigureComputeResource method allows you to specify if the changes defined in the $spec to add or not.

  If it's not $true all your cluster settings, except for the groups and the rule will be deleted. So, attention!

• Create the DRS group for guests in 2 groups

  Because of the Microsoft SQL license by the basic model, we need to create groups of DRS for our SQL servers. We have 8 guests, but need to run the SQL VMs on host 2

  We are in the process of migrating to ESX 4.0 to ESXi5.5. We already have the server vCenter 5.5

  We do not have the configuration of ESXi 5.5 hosts yet, so we need to create the DRS groups on the host of 4.0. MS will not wait for us to migrate first.

  We have two clusters (2 external data center). Each with 4 servers esx 4.0. Simple question:

  DRS group cannot be created in a cluster? Can I create DRS groups at the level of the data center. Use a host in Cluster1 and a second in cluster2.

  Thank you

  DRS group cannot be created in a cluster? Can I create DRS groups at the level of the data center. Use a host in Cluster1 and a second in cluster2.

  DRS groups cannot be created in a single cluster and not those of clusters. Nothing else would make no sense in any case. DRS groups are to be limited by the DRS and DRS automatic migrations is only a process of entire cluster in the first place. So what would be the point of a single 'group DRS' through consolidation?

  But of course, you can create two distinct groups of DRS 2 separate clusters.

• VMware DRS Group Manager

  I see a group of DRS Manager now in Cluster settings. I don't know I'm well understand what it is and I find it difficult to locate documentation. Can you tell me some or explain it please?

  DRS group manager is used for affinity VM host. You can create the VM group and the value of rule to place these VMs on some hosts.

• How can I hide the addresses in my list of contacts in specific group when I send an e-mail to this group?

  How can I hide the addresses in my list of contacts in specific group when I send an e-mail to this group?  I don't want to have all email addresses

  made available to everyone in the group.

  Thank you!

  You use Windows Mail? The bold at the bottom is the party concerned.
   
  You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.
   
  You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.
   
  1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
  2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
  3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
  a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
  (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
  to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
  (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
  4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.
   
  Note
   
  a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
   
  b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.
   
  If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).
   
  Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

• Is there a way to get the list of hosts and its groups of belonging to the vCenter folder level in 5.5 web vsphere client plugin development?

  Hello

  I need to get the list of all hosts and its groups of belonging to the vcenter folder level.

  1. I created a view giving the extension point: vsphere.core.folder.monitorViews.

  2. After this step, I wrote the constraint as in my class of mediator,

  var ListConstraint:Constraint =

  QuerySpecUtil.createConstraintForRelationship ( _contextObject, 'childEntity');

  I was expecting a list of all child entities such as hosts, dc, cluster... But I have only the immediate child object which is only the Datacenter as my result.

  Is it possible to get all hosts and vCenter folder level Clusters because I need the entire list to vCenter (highest level).

  Other info:
  

  Object file has only two properties:

  1 childEntity - list of entities

  2 childType in-kind folder ('Virtual Machine', 'Data center'...)

  Is it possible to write a constraint specifying which list of childEntities I need using childType in.

  Example: Make Me childEntities that has a 'Host' and 'Cluster' childType but childType in doesn't have these two types.

  In addition, at this level, I could see the 'Associated objects' tab which has all the information I need, such as Clusters and Cluster tab hosts and host tab respectively.

  So, I think its possible to get this list to vCenter folder level.

  I have attached a screenshot representing the need. Kindly ignore the Conventions of naming in there since I edited the example comes with the sdk program.

  
  

  Query:

  1. How can I get the host and Cluster (table of relationship) list to vCenter folder level or even at the level of the vise.global.view?

  2. once I get this list, is it possible for me to manipulate that list and send the new list to IU?

  3. is there another way to do the same thing without the help of model classes and mediator?
  

  
  

  Pointers to this will be very useful.
  

  It is not possible to obtain all hosts a folder specific vCenter from a single query Data Manager.  You need to get the list of centers of data first and then get a list of data center hosts.

  It is best to make these repeated requests to the java level and return only the list that you want to the user interface.

  You can get all the objects in the host of the system with a simple query using a constraint with targetType = 'HostSystem', but you will need to eliminate those from other vCenter servers.  See how this chassis example queries all hosts the Java later in the getHosts() method: samples/chassis-app/chassisRackVSphere-service/src/main/java/com/vmware/samples/chassisRackVSphere/ChassisRackVSphereDataAdapter.java

  Another option is to use the vSphere Web Services SDK to browse vCenter. See the vSphere management forum for help on these APIs.  See this plugin of the sample using this SDK

• Add VMS to DRS rule

  I'm working on a script and a cmdlet PowerCLI already seems to be written for her. The script adds an existing virtual machine to an existing Rule DRS.

  Here's the code for the cmdlet that I want to reproduce:

  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
  $spec .groupSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec[] (1)
  $spec .groupSpec [0] = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterGroupSpec
  $spec .operation .groupSpec [0] = "edit"
  $spec .groupSpec [0] .info = $DrsGroup
  $spec . info.vm .groupSpec [0] += $VM. ExtensionData.MoRef
  
  $Cluster . ExtensionData.ReconfigureComputeResource_Task ($spec $true( )

  
  

  To my knowledge, something along the following lines can be done to translate this in Perl:

  1. create a ClusterGroupSpec object with the correct information. I don't here and am not sure how to add "info.vm" in ClusterGroupSpec in Perl.
  

  My $cluster_group_spec = ClusterGroupSpec-> new (operation = > 'Edit', info = > $drs_rule_name)

  
  

  2. pass this as an object of ClusterConfigSpecEx in rulesSpec

  My $cluster_config_spec = ClusterConfigSpecEx-> new (rulesSpec = > [$cluster_group_spec]);
  

  
  

  3 reconfigure with spec as $cluster_config_spec.
  

  
  

  What I'm confused about is how to pass to info. VM of the PowerCLI. There is no member of the info or ClusterConfigInfo called "vm". How I would say the group specification which VM use?

  
  

  
  

  Updated the title to be more informative (it is no longer just a 'translation', the thread now contains the answer to the title).

  Adding/changing operations are for groups, but the contents of the group will be just changes to the low level table.

  Take a look at the example attached script, I tested it and its work.  Basically, the logic is the same, the difference is you change the group, but just add the moref vm virtual machine that you want to add to the group by simply sending an updated table of the vm morefs.

  Perl addVm2DrsGroup.pl - server = pass 172.16.254.50--username=administrator@vlab--mot = * - cluster = CLU01 - drsgroup = group1 - vm = recovery-03

• List of participants in a group

  Hello
  
  I'm trying to groups from the list. Because groups can include other groups, I need people who cross as well. Because now I am trying to get it set up in the studio only, just have a local project with a very simple structure: 3 groups - one of parents and groups of two children of that parent, each group holds one of the participants:
  

  ParentGroup - has Participant1 and SubGroup1 and SubGroup2
  SubGroup1 - has Participant2 
  SubGroup2 - has Partiicpant3

  The code is below:
  

  session as DirectorySession = DirectorySession.currentEngineSession
  group as DirOrganizationalGroup = DirOrganizationalGroup.fetch(session : session, id : "ParentGroup")
  logMessage "All subgroups: " + group.assignedGroups
  for each subgroupName in group.assignedGroups do
     logMessage "Got subgroup: " + subgroupName
  end

  Now, during execution, to my amazement, this group of parents has only its name in the list of the assignedGroups:
  

  All subgroups: [ParentGroup, ParentGroup]
  Got subgroup: ParentGroup
  Got subgroup: ParentGroup

  Anyone seen this before?
  
  This messages seem to speak a little about it:
  
  Re: Access to organizational subgroups
  
  but I still miss a bird's-eye view - [OrganizationalGroup.assignedGroups] is a write-only property...
  
  Any ideas?
  
  Thank you
  Nick.

  Hi Nick,

  This is a bug. Of course, you also tried to do a (group.fetch) to retrieve subordinate groups. This returns too the parent rather than the subordinate group group.

  While you can do a "fetchAll ()" to retrieve all groups (even the children), but the problem is that it provides no way to see the hierarchy of groups you are trying to get.

  Sorry,
  Dan

• List of users with associated groups

  Is there an easy way to generate a list of users of the APEX and their associated groups? I know how to get the current user and how to determine what groups they belong, but looking for a simple query I can run to generate a complete list of users and their associated groups.
  
  Thank you

  If you want to return the application assigned to a user group, you can use the intersection WWV_FLOW_GROUP_USERS table. For example;

  SELECT GroupName
  OF wwv_flow_group_users
  WHERE user_id = (SELECT user_id
  OF wwv_flow_users
  WHERE user_name = "MRITTMAN")

  list of all the groups to which the user is "MRITTMAN".

  Eliminates so for all users and their groups, where clause...

  (You'll need read rights to the view of some dba denies the rights of reading to these objects in the name of security...)

• List of VMS in pools of resources

  Hi guys.

  Does anyone have a good way to the list of virtual machines via the resource pool? I don't know if I do something like:

  Get - VM | Get-View and forest down until I get the list of resources. But usually it lists the ID of the resource pool

  Or is there a better way?

  Thank you

  John

  Thank you kunaludapi

  It's just a slow day for me, I forgot that you can simply

  Get - VM | Select Name, Parent.

  Because the thread is opened, is it another way round. List of virtual machines in a resource pool.

• How to list the VMs and blue file associated by cluster

  I tried to figure out how to get the list of virtual machines on a particular cluster of ESX and their associated blue records.  I tried to change some of the scripts I found that all virtual machines and their files... but can't seem to get them to identify to a cluster.

  Someone has something that I could try?

  There are indeed a few scripts that give the railways blue folder for virtual machines.

  It is an adapted version of one of my scripts that does state on the virtual machines for a specific cluster.

  $report = @()
  $cluster = 
  
  Get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VM | Get-View | % {
  
       $current = Get-View $_.Parent
       $path = $_.Name
       do {
            $parent = $current
            if($parent.Name -ne "vm"){$path = $parent.Name + "\" + $path}
            $current = Get-View $current.Parent
       } while ($current.Parent -ne $null)
  
       $row = "" | select ClusterName, VMName, Path
       $row.ClusterName = $cluster
       $row.VMName = $_.Name
       $row.Path = $path
       $report += $row
  }
  
  $report
  

  If you want to see the list in the 'blue' folder_name order, you can change the last line

  $report | Sort-Object -Property Path
