• Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

  We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:

  all stores of data seen by a cluster

  the virtual machines on the data store

  the host of the virtual machine is on

  the cluster the host is in

  The output I want is

  name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster

  any help would be appreciated

  Pretty sure this will do what you need:

  $report = @()
  Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
      $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore
      foreach($datastore in $datastores){
      $vms = $datastore | Get-VM
      If ($vms.count -ge 1){
          foreach($VM in $vms){
          $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                Datastore = $datastore.Name
                VM = $VM.Name
                HostName = $VM.VMhost
                Cluster = $cluster
              }
          $report += $object
          }
  
      }
      }
  }
  $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use

  $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}

• List of IP address and name of the virtual machine in a virtual

  Hello world

  Nice to be back on this forum. Actually, I'm trying to get all the Vm name and corresponding virtual center using VI SDk2.5 ipadress. Also is it possible to enumerate all ESX under Virtal Center - & gt; and all (Vm + ip) under ESX.

  BTW, you must have installed VMware tool to get the IP address since that information is available of OS and not the VM itself. The property path for the IP address is guest.ipAddress.

  Once you get the reference of the virtual machine, you can get it easily:

  vm.getGuest () .getIpAddress)

  Note: getGuest() may be null, so should be checked before calling getIpAddress().

• List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

  Hello

  I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

  In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

  And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

  So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

  However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

  I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

  My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

  In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

  my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

  filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
  {if ($cluster_view)}
  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  begin_entity => $cluster_view.

  Properties-online ['name']);
  foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
  print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
  }
  }

  Hope that helps!

• List not updated virtual machines after the migration of the virtual machine to a different data store

  My vSphere infrastructure 5 uses several data stores.

  Two data warehouses are associated with NFS on different NAS shares.

  I migrate VM to a data to another store.

  The navigation data store, I see that the files are moved from the old data store to the new and that no file belonging to the migrated VM still does exist on the old data store.

  If I look at the list of VMs on the old data store, I still see the old VM.

  I see it in the list of the virtual machine on the new data store as well.

  I checked that no .iso no pagefile is in the old data store.

  How can I update the list of the virtual machine on the old data store?

  Above all, how can I safely delete the old data store by ensuring that the virtual machine works very well on the new data store and I don't lose anything?

  Concerning

  Marius

  This use of data store 'Phantom' is usually observed, if the current configuration of the virtual computer points to the 'old' data store (diskette, CD-ROM) or the virtual machine contains snapshots where - at the time where tone have been created - the VM has had these references. Once the snapshots are deleted from data store 'ghost' will go away from summary of the virtual machine.

• View of the Virtual Machine with the host name of the filtering

  Hello

  I'm trying to get a specific view of the Virtual Machine from a hypervisor.

  Basically, I tried to reuse an idea found on the script of cdromdisconnect.pl, an address in http://communities.VMware.com/message/1192878#1192878

  The code would be

  My $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view)
  view_type = > 'HostSystem. "
  filter = > {'name' = > $vm_hypervisor_name},
  );

  My $host_moref = $host_view-> {mo_ref} {value};

  
  $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views)
  view_type = > 'VirtualMachine.
  filter = > {}
  'runtime.host' = > $host_moref,

  'name' = > $vm_name,

  },
  );

  But the API said that "filtering is only supported for the Simple Type"

  So I'm just the host_view and then call the property "-> virtual machine" to recover all the vm of the host, and then I loop inside the table to retrieve the name and the virtual machine, I am looking

  But, is there not a smoother way to directly get the view of the entity of VM to a specific host?

  Thank you

  Give a try:

  $host_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "HostSystem", filter-online {'name'-online $host_name}) | Die "could not get $host_name!"

  $vm_view = Vim::find_entity_views)
  view_type-online 'VirtualMachine.
  filter-online {'name'-online $vm_name},

  begin_entity => $host_view.

  },
  );

• Store the virtual machines folder has incorrect name

  We have a few VM servers that are stored in directories with incorrect names.  I'm looking on suggestions on repair to the top and go ahead.  When we build a new VM server to replace an existing one, we install and test on the day of migration that we rename the server and the new server, so this causes incorrect storage files.

  (1) what other people do to in this type of situation

  (2) how can I fix misnamed storage files?

  Thank you

  Ryan

  Hello.

  (1) what other people do to in this type of situation

  The same thing here.

  (2) how can I fix misnamed storage files?

  Rename the virtual computer, stop the virtual machine and then cold migrate.  This will make the names correspond to all levels.  OR rename the virtual computer and use Storage vMotion.

  Good luck!

• script to remove all the virtual machines in a folder or a group resource

  Someone at - it a script that will find all the virtual machines within a file or a group of resources and then delete the virtual machines?

  If you're dealing with a specific resource pool or a folder, you can use these.

  $vmlist = get-folder -name "TEST2"  | get-vm
  $vmlist = get-resourcepool -name TestServers | get-vm
  

  And then send it to something like this

  $vmlist | ForEach {
       If ($_.PowerState  -eq "PoweredOn")
            {
            Stop-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False
            }
       Remove-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False      }
  

  Also to find files of type VM

  get-folder -name | where {$_.IsChildTypeVM -eq "True"}
  

  Do you need to search the children files or resource pools as well?

• Utility to display all the virtual machines that have ISO attached to CD

  Someone at - it a utility that will list all the virtual machines on a host or a cluster, indicating the State of the virtual CD drive?  I am trying to remove one of my nfs stores, and of course, he's busy.  It's a real pain to point and click through all the virtual machines to find one or two that have a CD with ISO attached.

  Obviously, free is better!

  How to connect sql database to esxi to save all data from the virtual machine

  Please provide steps

  In simple terms, you cannot connect ESXi to SQL. Connect a vCenter SQL (Windows only).

  If you want to save all the data that is contained in your virtual machines, I suggest a backup solution.

• Many "channels ATA" listed under "eject the material safely on the virtual machine.

  Hello world:

  Just create a new VM WIndows 7 Pro (clean install) as a guest in 10 Workstation running on a host windows system 7 Pro. When copying a large number of files over the network to a drive on data for the virtual machine, I noticed the noise of tale tell us to what looked like a point USB port being ejected and then reconnected. When I checked the icon 'Remove hardware safely' on the virtual machine there is a huge list indicating "Eject ATA channel 0" through channel 29? There don't seem to be valid items associated with these elements. There are also various other items that seem to be standard items for the virtual machine. I don't have it under other VM, although most of those that have been created in earlier versions of VMware Workstation and then upgraded to Workstation 10. Is this normal? Or something is running wild on this virtual machine?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Best regards, Dave Melnyk

  Hi Dave,.

  It is "normal" that the majority of our virtual PCI/PCIe and SATA devices are hot pluggable.  Another explanation (and workarounds, if you find it distracting) are in this thread: 10 Workstation: Windows 'Remove' Gone Wild

  We had a few questions about this lately, and we have had discussions on the question of whether we could eventually add a checkbox to control if these devices are default hot pluggable.

  In the meantime, feel free to ignore them or use the workarounds in the first thread I linked above.

  See you soon,.
