  Hi gurrus and LucD

  I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

  The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.

  Concerning

  Nauman

  Try like this

  $report = @)

  {foreach ($cluster Get-cluster)

  foreach ($rp in Get-ResourcePool-location $cluster) {}

  foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location the $rp |)) Where {Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $_______ | where {$_.}} Type - eq "e1000"}})) {}

  $report += $vm. Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. Name}},

  @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. Uid.Split('@') [1]. "Split(':') [0]}},"

  @{N = "Cluster"; E = {$cluster. Name}},

  @{N = "ResourcePool"; E = {$rp. Name}}

• Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

  I have the following code snippet to find all virtual machines with the updated OS to ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux * "prompt. It does not work. If the filter is left out, I find myself with all virtual machines.

  The immediate question is the specs for the game ' Red Hat Enterprise Linux. " Originally from the "Performance Difference between GET - VM and GET-VIEW")

  http://www.batchworks.de/performance-difference-between-get-VM-and-get-view/ ).

  $ClusterFilter = Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource -Property Name -Filter @{“Name” = $ClusterName } | select -ExpandProperty MoRef

  $VirtualMachines = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Config -SearchRoot $ClusterFilter

  
  The biggest problem for me is to understand for Get-View filter. I was capable of a bit of insight to gleen from the URL below, but I think what Miss me is the reference (Microsoft) for what is happening to the right of the equal sign. What is the correct terminology for this type of query expression / where the syntax is 'left' = 'straight' and keywords such as "-match" are not allowed.

• The list of all virtual machines with more than 2 virtual disks

  Hello.

  I want to list all virtual machines in a data center vCenter, who got more than 2 virtual disks. Here's the workflow, I am working on that:

  1 get the view of data center

  2. get the Cluster Data Center view like the 'begine_entity '.

  3. for each view cluster overview the VirtualMachine bit cluster seen as 'begin_entity '.

  4. for each VM view, this information: VirtualMachine-> config-> hardware-> device of

  Above information is a table.

  I need help in order to extract information from this table disk, then run an if condition where the VM who got more than 2 discs should print.

  Could help you. I wrote the script to the point 4. just need advice for the posterior.

  Thank you.

  You can try one of the following values-

  1 If ($vm-> {'summary.config.numVirtualDisks'} > 2) {...}

  2 $diskCnt = grep {$_-> isa ('VirtualDisk')} @{$vm-> {'config.hardware.device'}};

  The above assumes that you've got your $vm with a filter property as follows:

  $vms = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine'), the properties-online ['summary.config.numVirtualDisks', 'name', 'config.hardware.device'];

  my $vm foreach (@{$vms}) {}

  ...

  }

• All virtual machines with VLAN

  I'm trying to get a list of all virtual machines in a given VCenter, with their VIRTUAL networks. Can anyone help?

  If your virtual machines are connected to dvSwitches instead of ordinary vSwitches?

• Get a count of all virtual machines (with some filtering)

  I try to get a total number of virtual machines, excluding some vShield edge devices and virtual machines in a certain set of resources (System vDC). I'll start with this:

  use strict;

  use warnings;

  use VMware::VIRuntime;

  {PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} $ENV = 0;

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  Use Data::Dumper;

  # Get all items in the inventory of the specified type

  My $e_vm = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'VirtualMachine', properties = > ['summary.config.name']);

  my $count = 0;

  {foreach (@$e_vm)}

  My $vmName = $_-> {'summary.config.name'};

  If (!) () $vmName = ~ m/EdgeGW/i) & &! ($vmName = ~ m / ^ vse/i)) {

  $count ++;

  } else {}

  Print "Audit."... VMName: ".." $vmName. » \n » ;

  }

  }

  printf ("TotalVMs:%d \n",$Count);

  Util::Disconnect();

  It works well enough, but try to go to the next step, this is where I get into trouble. In theory, should be a string of resourceConfig.entity.name (if I read correctly the API documentation). I can't find a way to get this string for comparison within the foreach loop.

  Any ideas?

  The resourceConfig.entity is a ManagedObjectReference to get the name, you'll have to Vim: get_view() against this moref.

  But you can also do another way, for example by using begin_entity in your find_entity_views() call.

  use strict;

  use warnings;

  use VMware::VIRuntime;

  {PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} $ENV = 0;

  My % opts =)

  pool-online {}

  type-online "s =",

  variable-online 'pool',

  necessary,-online 1

  },

  );

  OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  My $pool_name = Opts::get_option ("pool");

  My $pool_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "ResourcePool",

  Properties-online ['name'],

  filter => {-online $pool_name 'name'});

  Die "Unable to locate the"$pool_name"resource pool in the vcenter inventory" to less than $pool_view;

  # Get all items in the inventory of the specified type

  My $e_vm = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

  Properties-online ['name'],

  begin_entity-online $pool_view);

  my $count = 0;

  {foreach (@$e_vm)}

  My $vmName = $_-> {'name'};

  If (!) () $vmName = ~ m/EdgeGW/i) &! ($vmName = ~ m / ^ vse/i)) {

  $count ++;

  } else {}

  Print "Audit."... VMName: ".." $vmName. » \n » ;

• 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.

  },
  );

• How to obtain the list of virtual machines in a cluster with the specific name

• Determine the version of VMware tools on all virtual machines

  I found a powershell script that shows how to enumerate the vmtools on a virtual machine version, it is possible to use a script to display the version on all virtual machines without hard coding names? Thanks in advance for your help.

  You can try something like this

  get-vm | % { get-view $_.ID } | select Name, @{ Name="ToolsVersion"; Expression={$_.config.tools.toolsVersion}}
  

• New virtual machine for the model with the specific name

  Hello

  I'm trying to add some model VM to VAPP using recomposeVApp (...). And it works well except that I can not change the name of the virtual machine while recomposing. It takes the name of the model. But how to add VMS to model with the specific name? I use the v1.0 API.

  This is my code:

  ReferenceType vmTemplateRef = new ReferenceType();
  vmTemplateRef.setName ("MyNewVM"); This name is ignored. The name of the model is taken!
  vmTemplateRef.setHref (vmRef.getHref ()); reference to the model
  
  CompositionItemParamType vmItem = new CompositionItemParamType();
  vmItem.setSource (vmTemplateRef);
  
  create the type params VAPP recompose.
  RecomposeVAppParamsType recomposeVAppParamsType = new RecomposeVAppParamsType();
  recomposeVAppParamsType.setName (vAppRef.getName ()); The name of vApp. It is ok.

  added the element of the virtual machine.
  The newItems < CompositionItemParamType > recomposeVAppParamsType = list
  . getItem().
  newItems.add (vmItem);

  Task task = vapp.recomposeVapp (recomposeVAppParamsType);

  Thank you

  Hello

  For after this code fragment:

  vmTemplateRef.setName ("MyNewVM"); This name is ignored. The name of the model is taken!

  The model name is ignored because vmTemplateRef is the only reference to the object that will be used for the operation of recomposition. If changing the name it will be always ignored.

  I think that changing the name of the virtual machine template for recompose cannot be done as follows:

  (1) operation recomposeVApp().

  (2) get the recomposed VAPP

  (3) download the children-> VM you want to change.

  (4) change the name of the virtual computer.

  I hope this helps!

• Basic commands to identify all the virtual machines with connected CDROMS

  Hi all

  
  I am totally new to PowerCLI but need to identity the easiest and the shortest way for me to list all virtual machines in my vCenter server that currently have an attached CDdrive.

  
  I if I would be able to do this with get - vm | Get-CDDrive but no results are displayed.

  I've seen many examples on the web page of the way people want to disconnect all drives in a single shot, but initially, I want only to identify them for a report.

  Can this be achieved in one line?

  
  Thank you

  Try something like this

  Get - VM | where {$_.cddrives} | Select Name, @{N = ' connected'; E = {(get-CDDrive-VM $_).} ConnectionState}}

  or if you only want to see who is connected, you could do that

  Get - VM | where {$_.cddrives} | Select Name, @{N = ' connected'; E = {(get-CDDrive-VM $_).} ConnectionState.Connected}} | where {$_.} Connected}

• How to change network name for all virtual machines within the same cluster

  We have recently changed name vswitch to take into account that something significant, in the past vCenter could change the labels of networh for all virtual machines... seems this time help labels are not changed (maybe its got something to do with the update vcenter for 2.5.U3)...

  in any case, someone at - it a powershell script that could find all the virtual machines that are referring to the old label network and then changing again the name... ?

  Enjoy the respponses...

  Thanks in advance

  A few things on this blog could help.

  If you know the names you want to use, you could also just use something like:

  Get-Cluster X | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "OldNetwork" } | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "NewNetwork" -confirm:$false
  Get-Cluster X | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "NewNetwork" } | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$true -confirm:$false
  

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?
