• List virtual machines and their data warehouses

  I took a dagger to the list of all virtual machines in my VC with data warehouses where their VMDK:

  $report = @)

  $allvms = Get-VM

  {foreach ($vm to $allvms)

  $row = "" | Select VMNAME, DATASTORE

  $row. VMNAME = $vm.name

  {color: #ff0000} $row. DATA store = (Get - VM | get-data store)

  $report += $row

  }

  $report | Export-Csv "C:\vm_ds.csv" -NoTypeInformation

  No luck. I know that the problem is with the cndlet of get-data store, the file indicates the VMNAME column filled with virtual machines, as expected, but the column of report DATA store System.Object [].

  Any help would be appreciated.

  You are already in a loop through all the guests (the loop foreach in line 3), there is no need to get all customers with the cmdlet Get - VM (again) in the 6th line.

  You can just pass (i $vm) invites him to the cmdlet Get-data store on line

  System.Object [] entry in the CSV file is caused by the fact that the Export-CSV cmdlet does not know how to handle objects or arrays of objects.

  One solution is to loop through all the data store names that are returned.

  And keep the data store name in the property of the DATA store.

  The result is that there will be several rows in the CSV file to people with more than 1 data store.

  $report = @()
  
  $allvms = Get-VM
  foreach ($vm in $allvms) {
       $dstores = $vm | Get-Datastore
       foreach($ds in $dstores){
            $row = "" | select VMNAME, DATASTORE
            $row.VMNAME = $vm.name
            $row.DATASTORE = $ds.Name
            $report += $row
       }
  }

• Suggestion on Vcenter DB migration on the new virtual machine and enhancement vcenter server

  Hello

  I'm looking for any suggestion/plan with Vcenter DB migration steps towards the new virtual machine, and then upgrade the server vcenter

  4.1 for Update1/2

  My plan will be

  (1) creating new virtual machine.

  (2) fresh install 64-bit OS

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  (4) upgrade to Vcenter Server 4.1 update 41 4.1 Update1/2

  Anything else missing then please let me know.

  Thank you

  vmguy

  Hi vmguy

  I agree with this approach

  (3) migration Vcenter DB of the physical server to the new virtual machine.

  As long as you leave the old DB in tact and simply detach and copy the DB to the new Victoria Cross.

  Before you run the upgrade on the new VC and DB.

  This way, you have a restoration plan in case something goes wrong with the upgrade.

  Just to add:

  You must migrate the ADAM database so to maintain the specified permissions vCenter

  See: Migrateing vCenter new host

• Reports on virtual machines and their records

  I want to create a report on all my virtual machines and disks attached to each.  My preference would be to have the information in a .csv, so I can work with it in Excel.  What I've done so far has proved frustrating as I find it hard to combine the two.

  What I tried:

  1 VI Toolkit - I know I can run the command 'Get - VM' and "Get-hard drive" to get everything I need, but the combination of the two is beyond my current abilities of PowerShell.

  2 Report.ps1 of alanrenouf - gives a lot of information, but nowhere close to what I need.  I considered trying to modify this script, but I thought that it would take more time than learning how to make #1.

  3 OpenXMPowerTools - get this utility approach work still takes hours without result, more work than it's worth

  I have a few scripts (VBscript) skills, it is just their transfer in the new PowerShell environment for me I have difficulties with that.  I'm picturing extract names VM of the command Get - VM and then providing them to the hard disk-Get command and write VM name and output in the .csv file.

  Any help you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated to learn PowerShell.

  Thank you

  Joey

  Did you watch his pretty good RVtools and maybe gives you options of export or copied data and import it with excellent that.  Its very nice ESX administration tool.

• Sharing of virtual machines and the NETWORK adapter settings

  I usually have multiple NICs per physical machine, and I often map more than one NETWORK card in a virtual machine. This does all work well with 'regular' virtual machines and virtual network Editor. I use 10.0.1 on linux 64-bit Workstation.

  As soon as I share a virtual machine, the NIC mappings cannot be changed in any useful way. I can spend only NAT, HostOnly and connected by a bridge in a ComboBox control, without the ability to select a specific vmnet. Although connections are bridged, they are displayed as NAT, which makes no sense at all...

  What is the reason for this? I'm doing something wrong? If this is the intended behavior, it's shared VMs useless for me...

  Kind regards

  Thomas

  I reinstalled VMware Workstation and now I understand what happened.

  I need ever - and HostOnly-setting in NAT network, so the first thing I usually do after installing VMware is to remove them and fills vmnet0 to eth0 and eth1 to vmnet1. This works perfectly well with non-shared virtual machines.

  For shared virtual computers, this mapping has been messed up somehow. Now it seems to work fine, I removed all the vmnets and has created vmnet10-> eth0 and vmnet11-> eth1.

  If the problem is solved for me; but I can't say how the maps I screwed up. I certainly had two bridged devices, but has been shown only a single bridged device.

• List of virtual machines and their vmdk?

  Does anyone know of a way I can export each vm name and it's corresponding vmdk file name? I want to reconcile these since I know that several guests were famous and I would like to match their respective vmdk file names. I hope that there is a cool super PuTTY command so I can't install and play with PowerGUI powershell plugin: Pei

  Maybe something like RVTools

  ... also, this seems to be a pretty easy fix as well using PowerCLI

• Virtual machines and their Snap Shots

  Hey Gang,

  When I delete a VM disk, which also removes the clichés that were taken from the virtual machine?

  At least it should be. There may be situations where some files remain on the disk, for example an instant tree with different forks was created and the .vmsd file is corrupted.

• 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))}}
  

• Delete a partition in a virtual machine and expand the initial allocation of hard drive

  I have created a virtual machine running server 2012R2 with an allowance of 60 GB drive. I decided after doing hours of work on the virtual machine I had assigned too little disk space for the virtual machine. I decided that I just go in vSphere and change settings and add to the existing space. The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original, which doesn't help me. How can I remove this new partition and just expand the original that has been allocated when I created this virtual machine?

  Thank you

  Hi Paul,.

  Could you clarify what you mean by;

  The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original

  (A) do you mean you modified the virtual machine and added a second disc, rather than increase the size of the original? or;

  (B) you increase the size of the original disk and create a new partition in this free space?

  Be that as it may, the question should be simple to solve;

  (A) remove the second disk you don't need, increase the size of the original. Then from the OS Disk Manager, rescan the disks and extend C:\ in free space.

  (B) delete the partition that you don't need. From the OS Disk Manager, expand C:\ in free space.

  See you soon,.

• REALLY stupid question about virtual machines and disks of cancellations.

  I'm a bit hesitant to ask this question because it might make me look stupid, but...

  When I'm done using Virtual PC and a virtual machine running Windows XP Pro with Vista 64 Home Premium because the host os, often I did not any significant changes to the hard disk of the virtual machine.

  What I save gets saved to a network share on my server for files and printing from Win98 and saved on a flash drive.

  Assuming that I do no configuration changes or anything else I want to keep, is there a reason barely stopping properly when I 'cancellations discs' enabled?

  Any reason, I can not save time by pressing the 'X' button and choose 'disable and remove changes '?

  I am aware of patches, but took me to inform me of the patches, and I can get patches when it's convenient for me and I always validate changes when I install the patches. I'm not using it for anything other than my classes of the school of the evening for the time being, so it is not much of a value of protection on the virtual machine, and I used to write papers on the host operating system. I just use the virtual machine to play with the admin tools in an environment where I can easily fix it a massive screw-up without spending hours to reinstall Windows.

  Hey SlickRCBD,.

  Not a stupid question at all! :)

  It's very well hit the X when you have activated the disks of cancellations. And corruption or problems with the active virtual machine will be resolved when using the drive to cancel it.

• How do to activate 'VAPP Options' on an existing virtual machine, and then add the properties that will be passed down through the OVF - ENV. XML

  
  
  I'm trying to understand vSphere PowerCLI how to activate the "Options of VAPP" on an exsiting VM (in this case a model freshly cloned) then add properties and select cdrom of the FVO data access such as when the virtual machine is running the FVO - env.xml contains the properties in the CD-ROM drive.
  
  If I use the vSphere client and open the virtual machine settings and click on the tab 'Options' and then select "Options of VAPP" and change the setting to "Enabled" and then select 'VAPP-> Advanced Options' and click on the button 'Properties' on the right, I can add the properties and then I can change them vsphere PowerCLI, but given that these actions are not retained if I clone the virtual machine I need a way to put these in place of vSphere PowerCLI without using the vSphere client to do.
  
  Thanks in advance for the help!
  
  

  Mike

  You can use the vSphere API to activate the 'Options of VAPP"on an existing virtual machine, and set properties. For example:

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $spec.vAppConfig = new-Object VMware.Vim.VmConfigSpec

  $spec.vAppConfig.property = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec [] (1)

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] .operation = 'Add '.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertyInfo .info

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.key = 0

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.classId = "Property1ClassID".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.instanceId = "Property1InstanceID".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.id = "Property_1.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.category = "Property1Category".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.label = "property 1.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.type = "string".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.userConfigurable = $true

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.defaultValue = "Property1DefaultValue".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.value = «»

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.description = "Property1Description".

  $vm = get-VM-name vm3

• Need to move virtual machines and power over the other ESXi HA and issues of Configuration of power

  Dears

  Need to move virtual machines and power on ESXi others using the HA and Power Options

  So what are the Options I need activate and deactivate:

  Turn on Vsphere HA

  Activate the tracking host

  Admission control (disabled)

  VM Machine Options

  VM restart priority (medium)

  Response from the host of off the power isolation

  VM monitoring (people with disabilities)

  Monitoring of (high) sensitivity

  Heartbeat of data store (select one of cluster data warehouses taking into account my preferences) of the data store is checked

  On each:

  Start/stop of the virtual machine is turned off

  Please indicate the required Options and on virtual machines, we are not turning on?

  Just to be clear, that VMware HA will only restart the VMS if ESXi hosts fails - or surveillance of the VM is turned on which will be monitors VMs will they crash or suspend and restart the virtual machine affected.

  and just to be clear, that the response of insulation parameter has nothing to do whther THAT HA will work or not - it does come into play if the ESXi host is isolated of the HA - Cluster

  xMotion works only between active ESXi hosts that can communicate with the server vCenter - and if the ESXi host broke down or became isolated and vMotion may not work.

  vMotion is automated with DRS that vMotion will a VM who need more resources to an ESXi host with enough reosurces.

• Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

  Hello

  I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

  Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

  I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

  Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

  I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

  I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

  Sigmoid wrote:

  Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

  A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

  OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

  Let's do it this way

  1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
  2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
  3. make the BACKUP!
  4. Disconnect the data host drives
  5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
  6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
  7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
  8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
  9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
  10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
  11. begin to ESXi
  12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
  13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

  I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

  See you soon
