list VMDK which are not eagerzeroedthick?

I try to list all the virtual machines in an environment that do not have their VMDK eagerlyzeroed so I can convert the vmdk in eagerlyzeroed said.

The script that I have at the moment is:

Get - vm | Get - views | %{

$name = $_.name

$_. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.} GetType(). Name - eq "VirtualDisk"} |  %{

Si ( ! $_. Backing.eagerlyScrub) {}

{{{"$name has a lazy zero thick provisioned disk"}}}

However, it returns that each VMDK has a thickness of stocked disc lazy even if I check a number of virtual machines with eagerness to zero records via the vsphere client.

Any suggestions on the scripts that will be able to the list of virtual machines without eagerlyzeroed VMDK?

Thank you

Hello, mmarzotto-

You the code worked for me to return a row "vmname has a lazy to zero..." "for every thick disk of non-eagerlyzeroed.  You say that this code says that each virtual machine in your environment has all the non-eagerlyzeroed thick disks?

You can quickly check if this code is producing the desired results by return points who _are_ rubbed anxiously - just remove the character of negation (the "!") in the "if" statement (I haven't posted a fairly simple example-).

And just a suggestion about the speed of the code: for this run fast as you might end with the appeal of Get - VM at the beginning.  So, as:

Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config.Hardware.Device | %{    $name = $_.Name    $_.Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.GetType().Name -eq "VirtualDisk"} |  %{        if(!$_.Backing.EagerlyScrub) {"$name has a lazy zeroed thick provisioned disk"}    } ## end foreach-object} ## end foreach-object

You could combine a couple of statements, to make it a bit shorter and have it return the VMs that have at least a thick disk of non-eagerlyzeroed:

Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config.Hardware.Device | `    ?{$_.Config.Hardware.Device | ?{($_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualDisk]) -and !$_.Backing.EagerlyScrub}} | `    select Name

Just a few suggestions.  Those who give the expected results of VMs who have at least a thick disk of non-eagerlyzeroed?

  • Check orphaned vmdk files are not used before deleting

    Hi all

    I'm working on a site and after looking through the vSphere platform, it came to light that there are THOUSANDS (well more than 10,000) of orphaned VMDK files, it seems that there is a bug in the backup solution (you think).

    In any case I was hoping someone could help me please do you know if there is a way to confirm that a vmdk is certainly not necessary, the tools I've used to identify the orphaned VMDK are the script here practically Jason: orphaned VMDK files and RV tools (health tab).

    What I need to do now is to automate the removal of the VMDK if possible, but I need to run a test of consistency first to ensure that the files are actually orphans.

    Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    I can give you only a few rough concepts and advice because I do not know the details.

    First, he yells for PowerCLI, below, you will get a few commands. If you are not familiar with PowerCLI/Powershell I highly recommend to get a grip on it.

    Second, I'll assume that orphaned files = unused files. If this isn't the case, you can rename/move file instead of delete and wait as these phone calls / tickets

    Thirdly, since we will work on files on data warehouses, we will use "vmstores" PSDrive. Get-PSdrive cmdlet will give you all the readers, that you, one of them is vmstores

    To get your typical data warehouse 'cd ":

    CD vmstores:\your_vcenter\your_cluster

    On each level, you can do 'ls' or 'cmd '. Tab completion works on everything in order to use it

    From now on, all depends on what you already have and what it looks like. These files have a naming pattern names containing the name of the virtual machine or other information ("backup", "tmp" etc.)? You have these names stored somewhere? In text or csv file?

    I guess you have the list of files in the text file. So much more simple method would be to be scan all data warehouses and all files. As you can imagine it is very time and resource consumption, so not recommended to all

    #we're importing filenames to variable
    $oldfiles = Get-Content your_text_file.txt
    cd vmstores:\your_vcenter\your_cluster
    $oldfiles | ForEach-Object {
    #we're recursivly looking for file stored in $_ special variable (current object)
    $deleteme = Get-ChildItem $_ -Recurse
    #deleting the file
    Remove-Item $deleteme.PSPath
    }
    

    If the file names that you already can somehow correspond directly to the VM, then we could use a more intelligent approach.

    Let's say we have the testVM001 - bak003.vmdk and VMname file is testVM001. We can remove all characters after the 9th tank and then work on it:

    #we're importing filenames to variable
    $oldfiles = Get-Content your_text_file.txt
    
    $oldfiles | ForEach-Object {
        #getting VM name
        $vmname = $_.Remove(9)
        #getting VM path
        $vmpath = (Get-VM -Name $vmname |Get-Datastore).DatastoreBrowserPath
        #combining full path
        $fullpath = $vmpath + "\" + $vmname
        cd $fullpath
        #deleting the file
        Remove-Item ./$_
    }
    

    These are simple ideas, it could be useful.

  • Search duplicate files which are not linked to Active Folders

    I have several duplicates in my iTunes. Most of the duplicates is more related to active records. I can find how to find duplicates and I can find how to remove them, but there is no sort option that detects files that are not in my current records.

    I don't know what you mean by "linked to active records. Do you mean that you have files in folders that are not related to iTunes, or your library entries that are not related to the files?

    iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.

    Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.

    Use MAJ > display > show items to reproduce exactly to display the duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created.  If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.

    Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.

    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)

    The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

    In its current form the script processes only the files that are added to the library. If you have orphaned files in the media folder these could be added to the library before you start deduping.

  • Pavilion dv2 Notebook: how to uninstall items in "All programs" which are not displayed via programs and features

    I do not play games on my computer. I uninstalled 'My HP Games' (32 items) via the control panel. However, there are 11 items that appear in the games through "All programs", but are not displayed by the intermediary of "Control Panel / programs and features. There is also a link to eBay.com, in "All programs" that I would like to delete.

    How to uninstall these components?

    Hi @jarhtmd,

    Thank you for your response.

    The sample you provided it seems there are some games that you should be able to uninstall in Add Remove programs.

    For example, 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Chess'. When you look in the programs listed do you see "Microsoft Games\Chess, if so you should be able to uninstall."  It would be listed under Microsoft Games / and the name of the game.

    As some of the Microsoft games that came with the Windows installation you can not have an option to uninstall them.

    Those ending with "lnk" is just links. Try right click and delete.

    Good luck!

  • PDF to Illustrator, fonts listed, only they are not.

    Hi hope someone can help you.

    I have a PDF file created from the original Quark. When I send the PDF on our printer they need convert to illy with fonts described in order to print the job.

    However, when they (and we) are trying to convert PDFS into Illy we get the following message:

    A construction of unknown imagery has been detected.

    To preserve the look, a text was pointed out.

    If the police is described in the PDF file first and then open in illy the message we receive is

    A construction of unknown imagery has been detected.

    Whatever it is, the police is not indicated in the file of the resulting illy. It's just a set of picture boxes that cannot be changed.

    Beautiful visually all eyes, but the needs of the printer to be able to change the font indicates.

    Have also tried describing the police in the original Quark first, but resulting illy file has a great picture box rather than the required police described.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Dave

    Thanks for your answer John. Sorry for any confusion - was not easy to describe the problem and I think the work ahead a little more details on the work as we go along.

    It turns out that the printer is not the help of illustrator after all; they have a small screen printer/sign writers, only a small set upward and they use a specific piece of software, that requires the police to be exposed. They don't modify it as such. So, not illy, but they have the same questions that I found with illy, as described in my OP. We don't know why, but they cannot or prefer not to use the provided PDF file.

    The material being printed on is a frosted polypro. at one end of the black Uni is scheduled first with white screen text printed on top. Done this way to recording purposes (don't want frosted polypro showing through at the edge of the lettering) and also by behind the material should be considered black Uni.  I was wrong in my original understanding in my OP, to the subject of how printing was planned.

    It's white text that is in yellow in the work of quark that should be highlighted, and which was not converted correctly when the PDF file was opened in illy or indeed in the printer software.

    Anyway, as I mention in my update, modify this text in CMYK seems to have solved the problem and the underlined text is maintained by Illy and the printer software. Still not sure why being a spot color would however described the police behavior.
