List virtual machine name and sum of the VM disk size (stocked) and export it
Hello
I need to list all the VM:s and their implemented disk space. I can do it with this command:
Get - vm * | foreach-object {write-host "$_ ' t ' (Get-disk hard - vm $_ |)} Measure-Object-CapacityGB property-sum) .sum. ToString()}
(If there is a more elegant way to do it, do not hesitate to enlight me )
The problem is that I'm unable to export these data. Addition of
| Export-csv... or
> liste.txt
end of the line creates the empty file and print to the console.
How do I export the work properly (or I want to)?
Ah, you are after the total size of the virtual machine just hard drives, no virtual machines provided dimensions on a data store. So, Yes, you can continue to use the cmdlet Get-disk hard as you had in your first example, but written as such in order to allow operations on the result:
Get-VM | Select-Object Name,@{n="HardDiskSizeGB"; e={(Get-HardDisk -VM $_ | Measure-Object -Sum CapacityGB).Sum}}
This route can be a bit slow, especially as your environment is greater. If it is too slow, then we can use all the best buddy, Get-View.
Anyway, doesn't that do for you?

Get the list of virtual machine names and addresses IP to a specific folder
I am trying to get a list of virtual machine names and the IP addresses of a specific folder in vCenter. The problem is that there are several files with the same name in different folders. I need to know how to specify the level folder higher in which lies the customer10 folder. Here is an example of my current script that pulls all the info from the virtual machine of all folders named customer10:
Get-vm-location customer10 | Select Address Name,@{N="IP." E = {@($_.guest.) (IPAddress[0])}} |
out-file c:\VM_IP_Addresses.csvThe PowerSHell engine is to 'know' the function before you call it.
Save the function in a .ps1 file.
Point source then this .ps1 file. Make sure that you are placed in the directory where the .ps1 is stored, or use the full path
PowerCLI C:\ >. ./GetFolderByPath.ps1
Note that there is an empty space between the 2 points!
Now you can call the function
PowerCLI C:\ > Get-FolderByPath-path MYDC/myFolder. Get - VM | Select the name...

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.

List virtual machines and their DNS server settings
I try to list virtual machines and their primary and secondary DNS server addresses. Are the cmdlets in vmware that can do this, or would I need to use the invoke-script command. I have the list of virtual machines and I want to list them all with their DNS server addresses.
I tried to use the wmi objects such as:
Win32_networkadapterconfiguration get-wmiobject - computername "servername |
Select name, DNSServerSearchOrder
It would give me the specific server name and addresses of dns.
But I need the list of servernames which I would like to list some and their
DNSserversearchorder settings (DNS settings)
I tried to put the servernames list in a text file using
Get - vm | Export-csv C:\computername.txt - notype
Then I used the get-content command and the pipe in the get-wmiobject
command like below:
$servers = get-Content c:\computername.txt
ForEach ($server in $servers)
{get-wmiobject Win32_networkadapterconfiguration - computername $server
| where {$_.} IPEnabled-fits 'True'} | Select-object
name, DNSServerSearchOrder
But when I run this command fails with errors such as a pipe empty
element is not allowed. I don't know if the above script has all synatx
error or what is the best way to get a list of servers and their dns server
Parameters.
I know the wmiobject maybe out of this range in these newsgroups but there at - it a script in powershell, vmware or windows powershell to get a list of servername (which are mostly VMS) and their DNS server settings.
Try the following script to get the DNS search order:
Get-Content c:\computername.txt | ` ForEach-Object { Get-WMIObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -Computername $_ | ` Where-Object {$_.IPEnabled -match "True"} | ` Select-Object -property DNSHostName,DNSServerSearchOrder }

[Beginner] How to change the virtual machine name
Hello
How can I change the name of a Virtual Machine - I want to say the name that appears in VMPlayer (or VMWare Fusion) as it has recently used Virtual Machines. I tried to change the name of the vmx file but this does not affect the name of the virtual machine displayed in VMPlayer.
Thank you very much.

VMware Fusion 3.x and 2.x but not 1.x, you can click on and change the name of the virtual machine in the Virtual Machine library on the right side, just under the display area.
For VMware Player you need to edit the "displayName ="parameter in the configuration file .vmx and of VMware Player virtual machine must be closed when you perform this operation."

Activate the Virtual Machine start and stop
Hello
I'm not activate Virtual Machine Startup and shutdown I don't know what is right.
Hello
This is the VMware KB which provide a workaround to enable this option for VMs on ESXi hosts in cluster HA active.
VMware KB: Automatic Virtual Machine Startup / Shutdown in ESXi hosts in a cluster VSA is turned off
Last time (couple of years back), when I was researching on this topic, I found that these settings are applied only when the virtual machine is on the same host ESXi, and once his migrated to another ESXi host for this VM autostart option is lost and needs to be reconfigured again. I don't know if this behavior changed with new versions of vSphere.
I hope this helps.

What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?
I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.
After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.
I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?
According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:
By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.
However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

How to list virtual machines with associated vmdk files
Hello.
I have a folder vmfs and file vmdk with names that aren't like any virtual machine name (probably because that rename the virtual computer name).
How can I find what VM is?
Thank you
Hello, biokovo-
You can use the standard Get - VM and hard to find names of VMDK VMs-associated cmdlets Get-disc. Or another, much more quickly elsewhere, would be to use everyone's favorite: Get-View.
Since you know the path of the data store for the VMDK, you can check the property LayoutEx of virtual machines to find the virtual machine that said the file property with the name of the value as the games way to store data, as:
$strVmdkDatastorePath = "[mydatastore] somefolder/somefile.vmdk"Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,LayoutEx.File | ?{$_.LayoutEx.File | ?{$_.Name -eq $strVmdkDatastorePath}} | select name
Where the path of the data store's format, "[datastoreName] folder/somefile.vmdk. Yes, including the square brackets around the name of the data store and a space after the "]" (before the first character of the name of the folder).
How does do for you? (must be straight fast)

cannot not power off the virtual machine, but don't think the host it is running!
I have two clusters VI3. An older cluster to 3.02 hosts and a new cluster with ESXi hosts. Level of current patch on ESXi hosts. New guests and old presenters sees the same storage, but I have additional storage which can see only the new virtual machine.
Most of the migration to the new cluster went very well. A few questions. But a VM just GIVES me fits.
After the failure of attempts to migrate the virtual machine to the new storage, I thought I just migrate the virtual machine to the new host and leave it on the old storage, for now, until we could find something later. VCenter events logs show that the migration has expired. However, the virtual machine appears in the new cluster and is no longer in the old cluster. Also, he turned on itself for some reason any. Turn off in Vcenter gives the error "the operation failed because another task is underway." Having the VM that I could put it off in before Vcenter, and no no unsure of how to use the RCLI for this, I have connected to the host directly mode "not supported" and has run vm-support - x to get the list of running virtual machines and their ID's so that I could kill him. However, the host does not include this virtual machine in the list of virtual machines. So I think a virtual computer that runs Virtual Center, but he thinks the host it runs on is unclear if I can't kill the process.
Help?

Can't export virtual machines: unable to connect to the remote server
Hello
I'm working on vSphere client 5.1 (vCenter Server 5.1). Trying to export a virtual machine for distribution model. When I go to file-> export the template OVF..., I get the following error message:
Can't export virtual machines: unable to connect to the remote server
Remote not sure what/who he is not able to connect to. If I connect vSphere Web Client and navigate to the same model (or all other models), under 'All the Actions of vCenter' I don't have an option to export to the model of the FVO. But if I use a VM machine instead of a virtual machine template, I have the ability to export to the OVF, but it is grayed out.
Am I missing any customer authorization or plugin for vShpere?
Discovered that vSphere server had some modifications made by HIM to resolve the violation POODLE. HE had to set the ip address of the machine where export OVF will be performed. Which allowed the connection to establish vsphere client and perform an export of the FVO.

How can change the end of thick disk when a virtual machine has been placed on the disk?
After you have moved the virtual computer to another stage, chose the thin disk bad. Now, the virtual machine cannot start. the error message says that it must be thick for clustering. So, I need to change it back if possible. Then I moved it back and thick chosed. But, after that, I got a same error. So, after you move, the atatuse disk was not be changed. Is it a way not both directions? How can change the staus thin to thick?
Thank you!
George
Hello George,.
You can also convert virtual disks in eagerzeroedthick from the command line.
vmkfstools-j VMname.vmdk allows to convert a thin disk in eagerzeroedthick
vmkfstools k VMname.vmdk that will do it on a thick disk
It can also work for a thin disk, click with the right button on the vmdk in browser data store, and then click 'inflate '.
