• List of instant and virtual machines in need of consolidation?

  In the vSphere client 5, it is possible to display all the VM in need of consolidation. In PowerCLI, I can't find this option.

  Is it possible to list all the VM who have snapshot in need of Consolidation?

  It is not (yet) available in the regular cmdlets, but it's pretty simple display this as a calculated property.

  Get-VM | Select Name,

• Recompose a list of clone bound virtual machines within a pool using view server connection

  Hi all

  I use View with ESXi 4.1 4.6, composer is 2.6. Yesterday, I recomposed 8 pools from the mine to the snapshot of the updated gold statue.

  I have 140 VM in each pool. I checked today and about 125 to 130 of the virtual machine in each pool has been recomposed the new image, but 10-15 VMS in each pool were not reconstructed. They are currently closed. If I manually turn the, they have the old image.

  Now, I want to select just 10-15 VMS thos s in each pool and recompose the. The only options that I can see is to recompose the whole new pool or redial each VM one by one. I don't want to recompose the whole pool again and recomposing each VM individually will take a LONG time.

  When I go to desktop computers discovered in the administrator of the display and select the VM not recomposed, I don't get the opportunity to recompose.

  Can someone please help.

  There were errors, but I was unable to see them and all I could see the gray blocks, but nothing written on them. It seemed that the error windows were suspended by themselves.

  Thank you

  -Jay

  You can select certainly several computers desktop to a redial.  If your sub screen of the inventory of the pool just highlight several desktop computers and select recompose.  You can even choose the View Composer details view to sort by the image that is currently loaded.

  If you have problems for a reason, you could look at deleting workstations provided that they are in a floating pool that would simply allow view the based on the default image assigned to the pool to recreate.

• Damaged Restore points/images for a virtual machine only

  I have a vDR 1.2 with sharing CIFS 490 GB attached to it as a backup destination.

  Whenever I save one of my VM TI-error on this issue of restoration of VM and brands it damaged when you run integrity checks the next day.

  It is only on this one (Windows 200 SP4) virtual machine. I can select for deletion, then restart the integrity check that it will remove.

  But then, once I created a new backup of the VM (which always succeeds for this virtual machine) the integrity check will mark it damaged, I do not know why, always the same VM.

  It has 3 hard drives, 5, 8 and 11 GB. I have an another win 2000 SP4 virtual machine that has no problem, the touch is the only one.

  Is it possible to create another CIFS share on the same destination and then create a one-time job that comes only backup a VM?  Then see if you still get the restore points damaged.

• Automatically get a list of installed in virtual machines

  Hello

  After selecting the root "Host and Clusters" VMware Infrastructure client, I opened "Virtual Machines" tag and I got the list of all machines. Then by clicking on the right button of the mouse, I open the pop-up menu and have an option "export list... ', so I can export to text file. Of course, I have to do it manually. Is it possible to automate this behavior? I mean I want to get this list of servers every day, let's say at 13:00. It should be automatically created for example in the text file to an esx server or sent me that email. Is it possible to VMWare Infrastructure Client or esx server?

  Yacc

  You can install it on your desktop. But you need Microsoft Powershell to work with it.

• Maintenance mode migrates virtual machines only from GUI

  We have 6 * 5.1 with configured ESXi HA, DRS and a 5.1 Vcenter.

  If we put an ESXi in maintenance mode through the user interface of Vcenter all virtual machines will be to migrate to other hosts, there is no problem at all.

  But if we put the same through VMA host in maintenance mode, virtual machines will suspend mode and the host goes into maintenance mode. On the GUI in Vcenter we get a message that a migration will not work in the current state. Due to the fact that the message is in German, there's not so much sence to post it here, I guess.

  Background is, we have two or three guests time in different places. Two locations in separate buildings, with separate power supply and separate UDP for this purpose.

  So if a location powerd down the udp Protocol must stop the hosts in this place and the virtual machines have to migrate over.

  SVMotion is not necessary, the SAN is a unit of mirroring automatc.

  Please take a look at Re: scripted Maintenance Mode to see if that helps.

• Add multiple virtual machines to a running script

  Hi all

  This script below works fine

  $vmtest = get - vm "vmname" | Get-opinion

  $vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $vmConfigSpec.changeTrackingEnabled = $true

  $vmtest.reconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)

  How can I pass a list of virtual machines in a text file c:\vms.txt for this script?

  Thank you

  Alex

  I guess your TXT file has a vmname on each line, so you might do something like this

  $vmConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec$vmConfigSpec.changeTrackingEnabled = $true
  
  Get-Content c:\vms.txt | %{  $vmtest = Get-vm -Name $_  $vmtest.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($vmConfigSpec)}
  

• Start a virtual machine only if the other VM is powered off

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to start a specific VM only if a specific other VM is powered off.
  I tried to create a simple script for that, but it did not work.

  For me, it should be something like getting the power state of the VM1, if that is turned off, then he must start VM2

  Is this possible?

  Kind regards.

  Do you mean something like this?

  if((Get-VM -Name vm1).PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" -and (Get-VM -Name vm2).PowerState -eq "PoweredOff"){
    Get-VM vm2 | Start-VM -Confirm:$false}
  

• Script to stop and remove the list of virtual machines?

  Hello

  I would use powercli to stop and delete a list of virtual machines to a .csv file.  Although not quite clear on how to do it, can someone help out me?

  Hello, max08-

  Simply use this CSV as a list of names of virtual machine to stop and delete permanently, you can do something like:

  Import-Csv remove.csv | %{Stop-VM $_."Server Name" -Confirm:$false | Remove-VM -DeletePermanently -Confirm:$false -RunAsync}
  

  Note, it is non-interactive once you run - he doesn't want to stop the virtual machines or remove the disc, it does just.  So, make sure that the .csv file is only virtual computer names you really want to kill.

  How does do for you?

• List of virtual machines in the data store that is not in stock

  Hi guys

  PowerCLI rookie here, sorry for the stupid questions.

  I'm trying to clean up a bunch of singehost with local data warehouses. So I need a script that can display a list of files of virtual machine on a data store that is not used by VMs in the inventory. One of the problems is that the files on the data store, isn't every means, named exactly the same as the virtual machine in the inventory.

  Summer watching this, but I think the term "orphan" is "sent, in my view, it is:

  Any tips or hints to push me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  Please try:

  $FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs = get-FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs

• Someone at - it a simple example of creating virtual machine-&gt; the affinities of virtual machine using the PERL API?

  The question just about everything said. Is there a perl extracts to create an affinity between the virtual machines.

  Thanks, Vikas, for example and guidance. Since I am abel to make it work, I thought I'd share the code example:

  My $vm_name_list;    # A list of names of virtual machine.

  My @vm_morefs;      # Filled in the managed object refes to the virtual machines, this detail not included.

  My $cluster_name;    # Name of the cluster to create the rule in

  # Find the Cluster Compute resource object.

  My $cluster_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',
  filter-online {name-online $cluster_name});
  If (! @$cluster_views) {}
  Die "no cluster don't compute resource named $cluster_name detecte\n";
  }

  My $cluster_view = $cluster_views-> [0];

  My $rule_name = 'affinity for $vm_name_list. "

  # Create the nest of objects required for ReconfigureCluster_Task:
  #
  # ClusterConfigSpec
  rulesSpec #-> [ClusterRuleSpec]
  operation #-> ArrayUpdateInformation
  # enum (add, modify, delete)
  Info #-> ClusterAffinityRuleSpec

  My $aff_rule_spec = new ClusterAffinityRuleSpec (name => $rule_name,)
  enabled-online "TRUE."
  mandatory-online "TRUE."
  VM-online \@vm_morefs);

  My $array_update_operation = new ArrayUpdateOperation ("add");

  My $clus_rule_spec = new ClusterRuleSpec (operation => $array_update_operation, info-online $aff_rule_spec).

  My @clus_rule_specs;
  Push (@clus_rule_specs, $clus_rule_spec);

  My $cluster_config_spec = new ClusterConfigSpec (rulesSpec-online \@clus_rule_specs);
  $cluster_view-> ReconfigureCluster_Task (spec => $cluster_config_spec,)

  change-online 'TRUE'));

• Run the script inside the virtual machine the user when the user connects or reconnects

  Hello

  is it possible to detect the user that the user has connected or reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?

  It is also possible within the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?

  One way to do this is via the following powershell command, but this only works if the user is connected through PCoIP Protocol.

  Get-WmiObject-class Win32_PerfRawData_TeradiciPerf_PCoIPSessionGeneralStatistics - SessionDurationSeconds property

  Best regards

  > it is possible to detect the user that the user has connected either reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?

  You can run scripts as user on login and reconnect, this has been a feature since 3.0. See running commands on the desktop view.

  > It is possible inside the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?

  I don't think that we expose, but you should be able to query Windows for the connection time, or you could write the last time to connect with a script (maybe that is the reason for your first question?).

• How to create the virtual machine to a virtual machine existed file?

  I have two hard drives on my VMware host. There are virtual machines on a SATA drive, how do I list these files of virtual machines and copy one of them to create a new virtual machine (it can save a lot of my time!). I did this way on VMware server 2.0 because I can see what they were and where they were under Windows. But on vSphere, how can I do? Maybe you guys have other ways to do it?

  Thank you!

  George

  On vSphere, I suggest you use autonomous vConventer instead. It is quite simple and easy to use. Alternatively, you can copy or clone the virtual disk to the virtual machine via the Console (ESX) Service offline
