• Orchestrator 5.1 REPORT-all the virtual machines in the data center and create a CSV file

  Hello

  What I basically want to do is create a report CSV of all virtual machines in the data center with various information (VMname, domain name FULL, IPaddress, status, data warehouses, tools etc...).  The export list in the client feature is insufficient (especially for any KPI report).

  Problem: (workflow is still under construction so real email send does not not and need to clean the code)

  I am stuck at the part of the creation of a table that can be parsed correctly in the CSV file.  2 ways I've tried will produce a report of single object or combine all of the table into a single string (where I am now).  I think the main problem I have is that I have to create a 2D within my service to push toward the final table that is written to the CSV format.  Basically, I do not understand how to push my variables in a loop of a table.

  Any help or assistance?

  Thank you

  BOOM!

  Added some comments, removed the hardcoded in the csv temp file, deleted path the hardcoded port 25 for SMTP - mail settings should come from the configuration of the MAIL plug-in. And fixed / confirmed that the workflow now includes the attachment for e-mail and ends with success!

• Migrating from a virtual computer between two numbers of data center

  Hello!

  I just finished a muddy migration of a virtual machine from one data center to another.

  VMotion was not possible, so do not manually move the files was the only option.

  After downloading and uploading files to separate data warehouses, I have now a running virtual machine with the file to a folder named "TSV-forum", hard and the .vmx file and the working of a folder named "TSV-forum_2" directory

  The reason is that I downloaded the files to a new folder on the new data store named "TSV-forum", and when I created the new virtual machine and set the option to file on hard drive to use the vmx downloaded from the new 'TSV-forum' folder file, it automatically creates the "TSV-forum_2" folder and put the rest of the files for the new virtual machine in this folder.

  How to solve this problem?

  I should, perhaps, created the virtual machine in a different way, in the first place.

  How?

  Hello

• Virtual machines by operating system in data center

  Hello people,

  I'm trying to write a script that totals VMs in a datacenter by operating system. Here's what I have so far:

  Get-vm-location (get-data center-name "DC1"). %{

  $totals [$_] ExtensionData.Config.guestFullName] ++

  }

  $totals

  This works for the DC1 datacenter, but what do I do if I want to collect totals for all data in my vCenter centers? I would also like to export the data to html format, so that it can be read as a report in a browser.

  Your help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Rob

  You could do something like that to get a report for each datacenter

  foreach($dc in Get-Datacenter){
    Get-VM -Location $dc |
    Group-Object -Property {$_.ExtensionData.Config.guestFullName} | %{
      Select -InputObject $_ -Property @{N="Datacenter";E={$dc.Name}},Name,@{N="Count";E={$_.Group | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count}}

• FabricPath or OTV between two data center using Direct fiber cable

  Hello

  I have two data center both of them has the same equipment N7k, N5k and N2k, and we want the dataCenter being active/active, I'm really confused to use OTV or FabricPath characteristic, if someone can help me with my scenario and explain to me what is the best solution and advantage and disadvantage between OTV and PabrcPath.

  Many thanks in advance

  Hi Steven,

  No problem, I'll go through your points as completely as possible. I advise you to read more about these protocols, maybe if you have access to INE or similar, see their videos on this. I would also like to say again that I have not seen all documentation Cisco indicating that FabricPath to be used as a DCI.

  With regard to the way fabric you ask what follows...

   1. only can use it between two datacenters of you have more we can't, please correct me?

  No, you can use the path of fabric with more than two data centers, but even with OTV, you can use it with more than two data centers.

   2. HSRP localization can not be implemented as OTV. However You can have two differnet Gateways at the Data Center 1 and 2 using two different HSRP groups. If server is moved dynamically from, (i didn't understand this point can you please explain with example?

  OK, so this is a GREAT topic. Location of HSRP CAN be implemented with OTV, but cannot be implemented with fabric path. First hop redundancy protocols can be localized and is supported by Cisco with OTV, this basically allows the same default gateway to reside in two of your data centers providing the ACTIVE/ACTIVE configuration. So no matter where your VM is, they did not change their default, even if gateway your servers to move to the other datacenter.

  If we didn't have this, we would have only an active member of HSRP divided between DC and things would be extremely troublesome in regard to traffic flows. A virtual machine in DC2 VLAN needs to talk to host in VLAN B. But the default gateway is completely in DC1. So frame is sent to the ICD in DC1, then the gateway by default, routes packets VLAN B. This VLAN B lies in fact in DC2, so now it has to go all the way back to DC2. You get my point...? :)

  With localization happen only local to the domain controller. If all servers / VMS in the domain controller can speak locally to its "own" default gateway.

   3. unknown unicast flooding (can you give me an example?)

  Unknown unicast traffic is unicast packets/images with unknown destination mac address. By default, switches are flooding this type of traffic to all ports in the VLAN. With path of fabric that would take place during your DCI, but with OTV, it is all taken care locally, so massive savings on bandwidth here and it is much more effective.

   4. ARP optimization between Data Center (can you give an example regarding ARP optimization?)

  There is another function of OTV, which makes it far superior on the way of tissue. Essentially, we are reducing the volume of traffic passing through the transport infrastructure (i.e. ICD)

  When ARP, host in DC1 to host that responds in DC2, we use links and there is travel time of package that might be minimal, but is not the most optimal. OTV AED - or edge device spy ARP response and subsequently knows that this mapping exists from there. ARP takes place after the first Protocol, the EDA almost proxy ARP to DC1 so the ARP request locally does not have to travel to DC2.

   5. Typically two flows (Odd VLANs by OTV-VDC-1 and even vlans by OTV-VDC-2) carry the entire layer 2 traffic flow between the two Data Centes. Hence the load balancing the links is not efficient. ( (can you explain compare with FabricPath if you have example?)

  IMHO, it's bad and good. Balance the workload of the OTV if you have more than an AED on site. VLAN strange appointment via an AED, even numbered VLAN go through the other. Depending on traffic on VLANs, this could become unbalanced. Fabric used by all its links to mac addresses 'route' to the respective SID - ID switch she needs to do. So perhaps a better uniformity of split here.

   6. VLAN scalability for OTV is lower than FabricPath as of this content writing. (can you explain what this mean i didn't understand it)

  I completely disagree with this comment. I too do not understand.

   7. Resiliency of FabricPath network is better than OTV in some failure scenarios.(can me an example ?)

  I also disagree with that. Resilience of path of fabric could be same as OTV or perhaps better. However, my personal experience is that OTV fine tuning with things like BFD failover is much faster!

  Fabric is good because the control of aircraft ISIS and its operation is admirable, but could say the same for the OTV.

  Lets say one of the DCI links had to die, the transmission of the tissue path would continue through the other links, then perhaps for low latency, high frequency, environments that would be beneficial. OTV will change the EDA and re - learn mac, announced by other AEDS, addresses, but as I said, the time could be extremely minimal and tuning. This isn't a big deal, unless you need under second time convergence!

  I hope that I have answered your questions, I recommend use for your DCI OTV, use the path of fabric for your inside of local switching in your DC. This has been implemented repeatedly and the links I sent you the models validated Cisco also point out.

  Remember - fabric has been built to be a step towards TRILL, and replacement of protocols spanning-tree, OTV was built especially for the dci. They are both built and examples of specific design. It makes no sense to get these confused or mixed up, unless there is a real and pressing the case.

  Joel conclusion is right, use the right tools for the job. If the use case is good for the FP then OK, if not, OTV.

• Migrate to the new data center

  Hi all

  I want to migrate to a display of a new data center environment in a different physical location.

  I like to keep the original ip addresses and FQDNs.

  Is it best practice for this type of migration methods?

  I have two drivers, composer, brokers security server, 160 related clones with persistent records.

  We do not have a connection in fiber between the sites, so cannot perform a rebalancing.

  There will be a cut-over on the last weekend.

  Concerning

  John

  You can use something like veeam vSphere replication to copy virtual machines to the other site and then just turn the 'old' off the coast and the new ones on. Your biggest problem will be changing hosts. Only other option might be to physically move the old hardware to the new site. Persistent drives will be a pain. I would like to have more useful for you answers.

• Virtual MACHINE created on date export csv - get - vm testvm works but says testvm get-vmcreationdate is not found.

  Hello

  I entered the following two functions in my shell powercli

Example of Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent". He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent" 'VmClonedEvent '. . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '. Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents. Yet, it is OK when you do, it will be just a little more slow < span class = "wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-blink of eye" title = ';') > ;) </span > . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - category 'WARNING '. Will be out all events for vm: 'vm1. It is is faster than the names of piping of cmdlet Get - vm.

  Gets if possible virtual machine created.

  . Description

  This function will return the object with information about the creation time, method, of months,.

  creator of particular virtual machine.

  VMname: SomeVM12

  Createduserid: 10/08/2012 11:48:18

  CreatedMonth: August

  CreationMethod: cloned

  Creator: office\greg

  This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not

  more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have

  entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible

  you find this event.

  . Example of

  Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.

  This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names

  myvm1 and myvm2

  . Example of

  Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  Located in Cluster1

  . Example of

  Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you

  having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.

  . Example of

  $report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate

  $report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv

  Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.

  You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select

  $report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth

  So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.

  . Example of

  Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55

  WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?

  VMname: testvm55

  Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03

  CreatedMonth: October

  CreationMethod: NewVM

  Creator: home\greg

  In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.

  You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on

  dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is

  probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.

  . Parameter VMnames

  This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm

  names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or

  But if I do

  Get-vmcreationdate testvm

  he responds with

  WARNING: testvm is not found. misspelling?

  I can't understand why he says this?

  What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?

  I was intending to use

  get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".

  But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."

  Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls

  Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.

  You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.

  If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.

  $vmName = 'testvm '.

  $tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

  $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

• Total amount of storage in the data center

  I'm trying to get a script that will give me the whole total amount of space used in a data center. I want to launch against the center of data from virtual centres. There is a total of approximately 1900 of virtual machines and virtual machine is distributed among several LUNS. I need to get the overall figure for a migration.

  PS: I want to get the numbers in GB instead of megabytes and I also want it spits out a report in .csv on my local machine (c:\scripts\xxxx.csv)

  
  

  
  

  Thank you guys.

  I'm afraid that it won't work by changing just the data center-Get Get-cluster.

  The reason is the cmdlet Get-data store later in the script, on the location setting it only accepts the data center objects, folder and DatastoreCluster.

  But with a little small change, we can get it to work for clusters as well.

• Migration cold vcenter server VM to another logical data center

  My version is 5.0

  I have a vCenter with multiple logical datacenters.

  I'm under vCenter on a virtual machine on a host in a datacenter.  The SQL Server with the vCenter database is on the same host.

  I need to move the two virtual machines to a different host in another data center.

  All LUNS are accessible from both hosts.

  I'm under standard vSwitches, not distributed.   The vSwitches on each host have exact same exchanges that are put in place.

  Can I migrate successfully cold other guests off the power, remove them from the inventory, save them with a new host and power back on.

  However I'm not sure how to migrate the vCenter cold and SQL VMs.

  My first thought was to turn off the power, connect the viClient directly to the guests in question and delete them from the inventory on the current host and save them to the new host.

  What I don't know is if the vCenter database will have a problem with the location of the machine since I do change out vCenter.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community - you thought initial is correct since migrate is a function of vcenter but Word of warning make sure that you select Remove flexible financing inventory and not delete from the disk - remove inventory will remove form VM guests of stocks without deleting the VM disk shape.

  There will be no problem with access to the database-

• VM to data center report

  Hello

  I tried to write what I thought would be a simple report, but I have problems with the release of data in the report. Here is my script:

  $report = @)

  {foreach ($dc in Get-Data Center)

  {foreach ($vm in Get - VM)

  $row = "" | Select datacenter, vm

  $row.datacenter = $dc. Name

  $row.vm = $vm. Name

  $report += $row

  }

  }

  $report

  My problems is that when I run the report, the data center may or may not be on the line with the virtual machine. In other words, the data center listed may not be declared with precision with the VM in the same line. Anyone can point out what I am doing wrong or another way to tackle the virtual machine to the datacenter report?

  TIA,

  G

  You should limit your VM - Get only to the data center.

  Like this for example

  $report = @)

  {foreach ($dc in Get-Data Center)

  foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location $dc)) {}

  $row = "" | Select datacenter, vm

  $row.datacenter = $dc. Name

  $row.vm = $vm. Name

  $report += $row

  }

  }

• move VMS to production site in new data center

  What would be the best way to move virtual machines on our production site to a data center located at some distance from there?   I thought about how to connect to a new host in the data center at our production site and then use converter to import into the host.  The distance would be a problem?   It is about 50 miles away.

  With vmx and vmdk files, you should be fine. But just copy the entire VM folder.

  Oh, and FastSCP is a free tool.
