• Checking the system Swap file via powershell

  Have we not all script audit the Esxi system swap?

  Yes, the method $esxcli.sched.swap.system.set will do it.

  The parameters are similar to those used for the esxcli command.

  

• Upgrade to 5.5U1

  Hello

  I have a 5.5 test patched the host running. I just tried to pass this to U01. I used the method esxcli on the host via SSH. All patches are ignored and the host not changed them.

  However, I have 12 showing in my Update Manager. What are those contained in the U01 update.

  Puzzled?

• esxcli of vCO using PowerShell plugin

  Hello

  I tried to come up with a workflow to run esxicli on an ESXi host commands, I am aware of the different solutions out there including one that uses the vMA as an SSH server, but I would like to give it a try with the plugin from PowerShell. So far, I can connect the vCenter, get the crowd and not even the subject of esxcli by using different examples already on the PowerShell plugin library.

  But my problem is that after I get the object esxcli is on the PowerShellRemotePSObject format and I don't know how to work with it.

  var sess;
  try {
    sess = host.openSession()
    sess.addCommandFromString("Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction  SilentlyContinue");
    var invResult = sess.invokePipeline();
    //Show result
    System.log( invResult.getHostOutput() );
    sess.addCommandFromString('Connect-VIServer '+vcenter+' -User user@domain -Password "passw0rd" -Force');
    var invResult = sess.invokePipeline();
    //Show result
    System.log( invResult.getHostOutput() );
    // Get PowerShellRemotePSObject
    sess.addCommandFromString('Get-VMHost -Name '+esxi+' -Server '+vcenter);
    var invResult = sess.invokePipeline();
    //Show result
    System.log( invResult.getHostOutput() );
    var psObject = invResult.getResults();
    if (invResult.invocationState  == 'Failed'){
    System.error(invResult.getErrors());
    }
    else {
    var cmd = sess.addCommandFromString('Get-EsxCli')
    cmd.addParameter('Server', vcenter);
    cmd.addParameter('VMHost', psObject);
    var sessionId = sess.getSessionId();
    var esxcli = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.powershell").invokeCommand(host,sessionId);
    System.log(esxcli);
    }
  
  
  } catch ( ex ) {
    System.log (ex);
  } finally {
    if (sess) {
    host.closeSession( sess.getSessionId());
    }
  }
  
  
  

  The esxcli object is accessible as $esxcli.software.vib.list () in PowerShell I don't know how to use the PowerShellPSObject to access information or execute methods on it.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Juan.

  Hi Juan,

  I'm not sure you can call methods from PowerShellPsObjects returned by VCO.  In the meantime, they were serialzed in XML format from the PowerShell script then resérialisé in VCO.  I'm sure that you lose all methods when this happens.

  What I've done for similar purposes, use the WF model who calls a PowerShell script externally.  I put all my my logical calls and method in the external PoSH script and at the end pass back the final results to the VCO.  I'm much better with PoSH as VCO, so I put as much intelligence in the PoSH as possible.

• You can not call a method on a null power/PowerShell CLI - Script expression to set PSP, IOPS / s.

  Fellow Scripting Guys,

  I am developing a script that will allow us to assign PSP RR and IOPS / s to 1 for our 5.0 ESXi environments.  I encounter an error "You can not call a method on a null value expression" that I cannot quite understand so thought I'd ask the community for some assistance / advice.

  View the script in the Script of PowerGUI Editor, I get the error in the following lines:

  Line 27, tank 26

  Line 33, tank 35

  The script I use is attached.

  This text is based on the script of Armin van Lieshout of 2011.

  I suspect that you can use the commands for ESX 4.x.

  Instead of

  $esxcli.nmp.path.list)

  try to use

  $esxcli.storage.nmp.path.list)

  The layout of the esxcli order changed between 4.x and 5.x

• esxcli software error

  Hi all

  I couldn't this post in the PowerCLI section as it seems to be only available to developers, so this is the closest forum I could find.

  I try to follow some instructions from a Dell website to check if the VIBs have been migrated across, then I ran an update 5.0-> 5.1 via VUM.

  The command is: esxcli list of software vib | grep open-i

  during the same execution software esxcli , I get the error:

  Get-EsxCli: 25/09/2012 10:48:12 Get-EsxCli method or the

  It was after that I ran: Connect-VIServer and received confirmation that I have connected with the release:

  Any help or if someone could point me in the right direction would be much appreciated!

  The "'esxcli list of software vib" is an order of vCLI VMware. " In PowerCLI you can do as follows (replace MyHost bearing the name of your ESXi server):

  $EsxCli = get-EsxCli - VMHost "MyHost."

  $EsxCli.software.vib.list)

• 'esxcli storage instant vmfs Mont' em powercli?

  Hello!!!

  Hello

  I need to run this command: Instant storage vmfs mount-l 'DATASTORE' esxcli

  Powercli or ViJava... Does anyone have the exact command for this order? Have looked and not found in the documentation...

  Thank you.

  Better looking mounting method, I see that he needs three parameters:

  Boolean mount (boolean nopersist, string volumelabel, string volumeuuid)

  You can try again with the following commands:

  $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost "YourHost"
  $esxcli.storage.vmfs.snapshot.mount($false,"TESTE-DATASTORE",$null)

• The vib with get-esxcli driver installation

  I am fairly new to PowerShell and PowerCLI, so this may be a simple question, but I looked around and could not find a clear example that shows me what to do. I am running 5.0 GA ESXi and vCenter PowerCLI.

  I want to install a network driver via Powercli in the same way, I would say if I ssh directly to the host, i.e.

  software esxcli vib install - v/vib_file_path/vib_file_name = what in Powercli?

  I created the object, as stated in the docand run down from the tree by using the Get-Member cmdlet, so I know what I need is

  $esxcli.software.vib.install)

  But I do not understand what are the options / call method is required for the command to complete. When I run this without any option, I get usage:

  TypeNameOfValue: VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Util10Ps.EsxCliExtensionMethod
  OverloadDefinitions: {vim. EsxCLI.software.vib.install.InstallationResult install (deposit of string [], boolean dryrun, Boolean force, Boolean maintenancemode, boolean noliveinstall, Boolean nosigcheck, string, string [] vibname, string [] viburl proxy)}
  MemberType: CodeMethod
  Value: vim. EsxCLI.software.vib.install.InstallationResult install (deposit of string [], boolean dryrun, Boolean force, Boolean maintenancemode, boolean noliveinstall, Boolean nosigcheck, string, string [] vibname, string [] viburl proxy)
  Name: install
  IsInstance: true

  I guess that each of the pairs of hooks is a parameter, so I need give the 3 command options:

  $esxcli.software.vib.install ($1, $2, $3)

  I tried to use a variation of these values, but the error I get is the same:

  PowerCLI C:\ > $test.software.vib.install ($null, "net-IGB - 3.4.23 - 1OEM.500.0.0.406165.x86_64.vib", "/ store /")

  
  The remote server returned an error: (500) internal server error.
  On line: 1 char: 27
  + $test.software.vib.install < < < < ($null, ' net-IGB - 3.4.23 - 1OEM.500.0.0.406165.x86_64.vib ', ' / store / ")
  + CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (:)) [], RuntimeException)
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: MethodInvocationException

  Anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

  I fear there are some more settings, as indicated in the message

  filing of String]

  Boolean dryrun

  Boolean force

  Boolean maintenancemode

  Boolean noliveinstall

  Boolean nosigcheck

  Proxy chain

  String [] vibname

  String [] viburl

  These correspond exactly with the settings described in the ESXCLI command.

  These are all the positional parameters, so if there is a parameter, you do not need, you still need something in this position.

  $esxcli.software.vib.install ($null $true, $false, $true, $true, $false, $null, "net-IGB - 3.4.23 - 1OEM.500.0.0.406165.x86_64.vib", "/ store /")

  This, or something similar, should do the trick.
