• The appeal of commands Powercli from c#

  Hello

  Is it possible to use commands powercli of c#?. Like how we are specifying the command in the console Powercli,

  "Connect-VIServer-Server 172.17.21.51 - protocol https-user-word pass pass - Port 883". is it possible

  write the same command in c# and connect to the server and perform similar actions, such as Get - vm, New - VM etc.

  Thank you

  Yes, you can create a virtual model computer.

  In PowerCLI which would be with the New-VM cmdlet, in the API, it would be CloneVM_Task method

  There is a set of pointers and samples in HowTo: beginners tips for using the vSphere API in c#

  Unfortunately none on the CloneVM_Task

• Call script from a file of commands PowerCLI

  Hi all

  I'm fairly new to using PowerCLI, but have already seen the benefits of its use to manage and administer a large infrastructure, we have about 50 guests with esx4i, and it has been very helpful.  I have a problem, but trying to run a health check, I want to create a batch file that calls a .ps1 script and then plan its like a task...  However, here is the batch file code:

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe - PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1" - command '& {c:\scripts\myscript.ps1} '.

  It comes up with this in the cmd prompt after executing the batch file:

  Please specify a name server of VI, for example...
  PowerShell.exe vCheck.ps1 MyvCenter

  However, I have Connect-Viserver connection code in the myscript.ps1... The script runs a lot of PowerCLI, anyone know what Miss me?  Thanks for your help... any input would be appreciated.

  Chris

  I'm not much of a PowerCLI person, but you don't have to create a batch file.  Just paste the line of text below in your scheduled task Windows OS.  We usually define the run as: with an account that has rights to vCenter.  Also, make sure that the box run only if connected is not checked.

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile  "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1"  -command "&{c:\scripts\myscript.ps1}"

  Important: System Restore affects the Windows system files, programs and registry settings that have been changed recently. It can also make changes to scripts, files, batch and other types of executable files on your computer. System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos, so it cannot help you restore a deleted file.

  If you use system restore when the computer is in safe mode, you cannot undo the restore operation. However, you can run System Restore again and choose a different restore point if any. You can also create Safe Mode system restore points. System Restore affects the Windows system files, programs and registry settings that have been changed recently.

• missing commands on IOS 3.6.4E

  Hi ISE experts.

  I recently had a switch Catalyst 3850-24 p upgrade to IOS 3.6.4E and we found below 2 commands are missing from the running configuration.

  RADIUS vsa server send accounting
  RADIUS vsa server send authentication

  the switch seems to be taking these 2 commands, but when I "show execution" they do not show up to market config.

  I found this on another 3850-24-T running the same version of code.

  Is this a bug?

  THX.

  Can you issue the following command and see if you see these commands in the config file:

  show run all | i radius-server vsa

• Missing command of 2620 VPN is easy?

  Currently I am configuring a Cisco 2620 router to be an easy VPN server. I'm under the IOS IPSEC 3DES company-FW-IDS longer version 12.2 (27).

  I am following http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/secursw/ps2308/products_configuration_example09186a00801c4246.shtml for specific configuration instructions.

  My problem is that I get to the point where I need to set the configuration of client group, but the 'crypto isakmp client configuration group command' is missing.

  I don't know why I do not have this command, but that's my problem. Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Nate

  Depending on the function of navigation (http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/jsp/index.jsp), support for "Easy VPN Server" in the line of 2600 did not come up to 12.2 (8) T, then it will not be in 12.2 (27) that you are running.

  Just in case you're unaware of how IOS version of numbering of the works, 12.x mainline (the train that you run) receives only bugs embedded in it, it's to make sure that it is a relatively stable platform to run. New features such as Easy VPN Server, are all added in the train of xT 12. At the next major version is planned (for example 12.3 in this case), 12.2 T latest version basically becomes the first release 12.3. 12.3 mainline then gets only the bug fixes, and the new 12.3 T train becomes so all the new features added.

  So, in summary, that you need to run either T, 12.3 12.2 or 12.3 T trains to get the functionality you want.

  Any ideas? Why should he use HTTP? 5.5 and older commands work properly.

  It seems that you use vCenter 5.1, is that correct?

  Please note that the PAF for PowerShell support is for vCenter 5.5 and higher.  Prior to 5.5, the PAF API was not public.

• Missing command key

  Hello

  I have a brand new iPad 2 Pro.  I can't find a key on my keyboard, however. Instead, I have an emoji key where the control key should be. I checked my settings, and the keyboard is set to the standard version with the off emoticons. Is it possible to get a key command instead? I can include a picture of the keyboard if you need.

  You mean on the keyboard of the screen? There is no Ctrl, Alt key or command in there.

• PowerCLI - how to distinguish the true placeholder SRM vm

  Hello

  I'm using PowerCLI to list all the vm that are in my vCenter but I am be double file for some of the vm.

  I checked in vCenter and found that what I'm be are real and SRM placeholders on the same list, how VM pouvez I distinguish real vm to SRM placeholder in PowerCLI?

  To extract all the virtual machines that are not placeholders of SRM, you can use the following command PowerCLI:

  Get - VM | Where-Object {$_.} ExtensionData.Config.ManagedBy.ExtensionKey - don't "com.vmware.vcDr"}

  SRM spaces reserved to retrieve only the virtual machines, you can use the following command PowerCLI:

  Get - VM | Where-Object {$_.} ExtensionData.Config.ManagedBy.ExtensionKey - eq "com.vmware.vcDr"}

• Help, I changed the password of root ESXi via powerCli, now I can not connect with the web client or the console.

  Help, I've changed the root ESXi via powerCli password, now I can not connect with the web client or the console, but I can still connect to powerCli. The command I used was;

  SE connect-VIServer esxihostname-user root - password newpasswd

  This production network btw, I have connected to each host and run the above command, these ESXi hosts are not on a domain

  y at - it something I have left out. I really appreciate any assistance that you people can provide.

  Thank you, Joe

  It is probably a longshot, but a lot of things in the land of windows is not sensitive to capital letters as Unix is.  I wonder if your new password you put through powerCLI mixed uppercase in it and if the capitalization was abandoned by command windows powerCLI Analyzer, or he interpreted as all capitals or something.   If you can still get through the powerCLI you could try to reset the password again to something simple without capitalization mixed case and if your password on ESXi strategy requires a special character, try something different than a "$", like a "_" (I find that a '_' is less likely than some other special characters (, as a '-' or a ' / ' to cause problems with analyzers.).

  Edit:

  Another thing, you can try before playing with the password once again, is to create a different username ESXi using powerCLI and see if the password ends up what you think, it should be, and if you can get with the client vsphere using it.  In this way, you can find out if there are some problems with certain characters or Cap through command powerCLI Analyzer without losing your remaining root by powerCLI access.  After some tests, you can understand what went wrong with your initial password change and may be able to fix it with less risk of losing access.  I also assume that you can not create a new username on ESXi who is able to change the root password no matter what authority give you it, otherwise, you could create a new username with PowerCLI, then connect to the client vsphere with it and change the password to root from there.
