Missing get-VDPortGroup

• Get-VDPortGroup shows as an invalid cmdlet in PowerCLI 5.5 R2

  I cannot running Get-VDPortGroup (and new-VDPortGroup and get-VDswitch).  Get-VDPortGroup translates as «the term 'get-vdportgroup' is not recognized under the name of a cmdlet...» ».  Get-PowerCLIConfiguration shows that I'm under VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.5 Release 2 Patch 1 build 1931983.  All versions of the snap also show 5.5.  I get the same results on Windows 2012R2 and Windows 2008R2.  I improved 5.1 to 5.5 R2 PowerCLI.  I installed PowerCLI 5.5 R2 on a new computer.  I included support for vCloud Director and excluded vCloud Director for various facilities, I tried.

• Block and #MISSING values

  Hi all
  
  If for a particular combination of sparse dimension, #MISSING get appears on the form of opening data then does that mean that the block is present for this combination?
  
  Thank you

  Most likely if his #Missing for each combination of dense then it isn't. (Exception is nothing you did manually #Missing to database, it creates the blocks)
  You check the same to remove blocks of #Missing in the layout of the column line of the data form.

• Migration to Cisco 1000v with portgroup Vmnic (almost there!)

  I am trying to automate the following steps so that I can configure networking for a host, end-to-end (using vCenter 5.1, PowerCLI 5.1 Release 2 Build 1012425 to PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2 build 3056836). The host has two network adapters physical, one of which (vmnic0) is obviously taken by vSwitch0 during initial installation. So, I need to:

  (1) migrate physical vmnic1 a VDS (1000v)

  (2) set the GRPE of ports uplink for vmnic1 in the "system-binding rising-vc02."

  (3) turn on the VDS called "vc02-vmsc" vSwitch1 to a portgroup vmk0 management network.

  (4) physical vmnic0 pass vSwitch1 a VDS, adding to the bond rising portgroup "rising-vc02 system-binding."

  I can only reach 1-3. I can handle a party of 4), moving the 1000v vmnic0, but only in the portgroup of 'Unused_or_Quarantine_Uplink' and not the one I need.

  Stripped of any handling error, this is the code I used (largely provided by)

  ... but as I said, this only puts it in the Unused_or_Quarantine_Uplink group.

  

  I tried to repeat the code above this vmnic1 against vmnic0 objectives, but this indicates that the host is already member of the VDS.

  I suspect that the answer lies in a change of migrate ESXi host physical adapters specific dvUplink port | vBombarded but I had no luck so far.

  Help appreciated on the final bit

• Pass name id portgroup vlan

  Hello

  I have several vlan id so I want to get the names of portgroup, where id vlan is configured. We use dv-switches, so I don't want to ask the the vmhost.

  Kind regards

  Bergold

  Of course, but since they have a primary and a secondary VLAN, they are a little different.

  If the VLAN primary you are after, you can use:

  VDPortgroup-get | where {$_.} {Eq - VlanConfiguration.PrimaryVlanId $VLANID}

  If the VLAN secondary you're after, you can use:

  VDPortgroup-get | where {$_.} {Eq - VlanConfiguration.SecondaryVlanId $VLANID}

  So if you want to find all VLAN IDS $VLANID anyone, you can combine them:

  VDPortgroup-get | where {$_.} VlanConfiguration.VlanId - eq $VLANID - or $_. EQ - VlanConfiguration.PrimaryVlanId $VLANID - or $_. VLAN. { SecondaryVlanId - eq $VLANID}

  If you want to find all PVLANs you can use:

  Get-VDPortgroup | where {$_.} VlanConfiguration.VlanType - eq "PrivateVLAN"}

  
  

  Note that you have also the "VLAN Trunking" option in the user interface, which can be a range of VLANS. You can find them by:

  Get-VDPortgroup | où {$_. VlanConfiguration.VlanType - eq "Trunk"} | Select Name, @{N = "Beaches"; E={$_. VlanConfiguration.Ranges}}

  Other things that likely are not what you want...

  • Line 3 - the VMH value in the XML file looks like to try a couple of queries to find a VMware host for the virtual machine. A number of things that do not work
  • The value of VMH will not be executed, so it will try to find a host named "(production de get-cluster |)" Get-vmhost | (get-random) ' rather than the command and returning a value
  • If the cluster is active DRS it's easier to use - ResourcePool (get-cluster production) and let the DRS know where to place the virtual computer. By practice (production of get-cluster | get-vmhost | get-random) the code can try and place the new virtual machine on the hosts that are down, disconnected or in maintenance mode (and fails), while DRS will avoid the hosts for the initial investment
• Line 4 - code seems to assume that $_ always object references a 'newvm' from the XML file. This isn't happening, rather each time you "pipe" $_ done refers the previous result. So the line $3 _ is a newvm object and things like $_.name work as expected. Online $4 _ is now being VM returned by New - VM, not the newvm object from the XML file. So things like $_. RAM and $_. CPU will be null since $_ is not what the script expects it to be.
• Line 6 - here is an object pipeline as new hard drive is powered a hard disk object in the pipeline (all-hard drive has returned an object of hard drive) and new-harddisk cannot use a hard drive as the input object (will throw an error "the input object cannot be bound"). The other issue is $_. SF and $_. NHD will $Null because what is in the pipeline is not an object 'newvm '.
• Line 6-9-only the first entry in the XML file has several entries of size of hard disk (NHD, NNHD, etc.). The code will trigger errors when you try to create virtual machines with less than 4 drives as the CapacityGB will (try) to be set to $Null that is not valid

Because the code ends with the bad object in the pipeline, most of the time probably to iterate instead of trying to any pipeline. A small change in the XML file is necessary so that VMH is simply the name of the cluster (production). I have not tried running this code with your XML file, but it should give you a start to work from (the NHD, NNNHD, NNHD, etc. could be converted into a loop "foreach" If XML has changed so that there are multiple instances of the NHD element rather than the names of different elements for example)

• migrate vm of DVS and standardswitch network cards

  Hello

  Does anyone know how to change the NIC a vm that is connected to a DVS at a standard portgroup. (POWERCLI)

  Standard switch exchanges have the same names as those of DVS.

  If possible, is it possible switch toe back switch standard dvs?

  We need for a migration online 55 ESX virtual machines between two different environments.

  Thank you

  O.Muntslag

  To save the portgroup in a variable for a standard switch, you can use a command similar to the following command PowerCLI:

  $PortGroup = get-VirtualPortGroup-NetworkName name - Virtualswitch vSwitch1 - VMHost ESXi1

  To save the portgroup in a variable for a distributed switch, you can use a command similar to the following command PowerCLI:

  $PortGroup = get-VDPortgroup-NetworkName name - VDSwitch dvSwitch0

  Using the variable $PortGroup, you can modify portgroup nic a vm with a command similar to:

  Get-VM-name VM1. Get-NetworkAdapter-name 'NIC 1' | Together-NetworkAdapter - Portgroup $PortGroup - confirm: $false

• Delete VDSwitch uplink

  Is it possible to remove links rising "unused" of a vdSwitch, i.e. a uplinks with no attached physical NIC?

  
  

  I have a vdSwitch with 4 uplinks, 2 are unused (dvBackup1, dvBackup2) and 2 have attached natachasery (dvProd1, dvProd2).

  I tried to remove a link in the user interface where I can only decrease the number of uplinks - not delete a specific connection.

  But even if according to the GUI has been deleted the last uplink (or more) , I get an error that one of the used (with attached bear) cannot be deleted.

  'The dvProd1 of name of uplink is used by the 11999 esx1 host connect uplink port, which is connected to the physical network adapter vmnic1'

  All in google:ing and checking what commands are available in PowerCLI I only find Set-VDSwitch with the parameter -NumUplinkPorts, which I think is basically what I tried in the GUI. However, I can't find any way to identify a specific to remove connection.

  So what I'm asking, is really two things:

  1. is it possible to remove an unused uplink to a vdSwitch who have some other used uplinks?

  2. is it possible to identify a specific connection and remove it (controlled) or only to set a lower number of uplinks (uncontrolled)?

  vdSwitch, version 4.1

  ESXi: 5.0

  VC; 5.5

  PS: 4.0

  Unfortunately I have not any v4.* available vdSwitch, but against a v5.5 vdSwitch the following works for me.

  # Get the VDS and GRPE Uplink ports

  $dvSw = get-VDSwitch-name MydvSW

  $dvPG = get-VDPortgroup - VDSwitch $dvSw | where {$_.} IsUplink}

  # Store all ports in the GRPE of Uplink ports in a hash table

  $portTab = @ {}

  $uplinkPorts = $dvPG.ExtensionData.PortKeys | %{

  $portTab.Add($_,'na')

  }

  # For each node of ESXi, connected to the VDS.

  # remove the ports through which the host is

  # connected from the hash table

  $dvSw.ExtensionData.Config.Host | %{

  $_. Config.Backing.PnicSpec | %{

  $portTab.Remove ($_.) UplinkPortkey)

  }

  }

  # Go through all the remaining ports in the tabel of hash

  # and set to be removed from the VDS

  $ports = @)

  $portTab.GetEnumerator () | % {}

  $port = new-Object VMware.Vim.DVPortConfigSpec

  Get-VDPortgroup MyVdPg | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Game-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy - LoadBalancingPolicy LoadBalanceLoadBased

  You can simply direct the Group of newly created port directly object to cmdlets like this:

  Import-Csv c:\temp\vdsportgroup.csv | % {New-VDPortgroup - VDSwitch $vds - name $_.} Name - VlanId $_. VlanId - NumPorts $_.ports | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Game-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy - LoadBalancingPolicy LoadBalanceLoadBased}

• Migrate standard network switch to VDS

  Hello

  I intend to migrate little my clusters that are running in a standard switch to DVS. Need help to automate this process.

  My scenario is:

  In a 15cluster environment are present 5 are already running in DVS
  but 10 clusters are still a standard switch so I need to migrate the
  already existing DVSwitch.

  By taking a cluster of 10node as an example.
  (1) mgmt and vmkernel are on a vswitch (ex: vswitch 0)
  [vswitch 0 - connected with 2 vmincs]

  (2) virtual machine in a vswitch portgroup (Ex: vswitch 1)
  [vswitch 1 - connected with 2 vmincs]

  On all groups, we need to migrate only machine virtual portgroup
  or vmnetwork (ex: vswitch 1) to off-network vmkernel mgmt DVs.
  My plan:
  First add all cluster hosts to DVswitch
  Remove all a redundant vmnic (ex: vmnic3) connected to the machine virtual portgroup. (Ex: vswitch) 1 and adds it to DVswitch.
  Now migrate all virtual machines connected to a standard switch to dvs. (Here I hit)
  Is it possible if VLAN 10 (standard switch) then consists of 5 virtual machines
  check the VLAN 10 DVS and portgroup network set to 10 VLAN adapter on the
  SMV (I mean can we compare VLAN ID on VSS and VDS and inspiring than us)
  need to migrate virtual machines to a DVS.)

  As below:

  

  
  If it works correctly then you have to check the State of all virtual machines (ignore power VM off) ping
  If ok then proceed to map the second network card (ex: vmnic4) VSS for VDS.

  Use the Script:

  # ESXi hosts to migrate from VSS to VDS
  $vmhost_array = @("host1","host2")
  # Adding Hosts to existing VDswitch
  $vds = Get-VDSwitch -Name "SM_UAT"
  foreach ($vmhost in $vmhost_array) {
  # Add ESXi host to VDS
  Write-Host "Adding" $vmhost "to" $vds_name
  $vds | Add-VDSwitchVMHost -VMHost $vmhost | Out-Null
  # Migrate pNICs to VDS
  Write-Host "Adding vmnic2 to" $vds
  $vmhostNetworkAdapter = Get-VMHost $vmhost |Get-VirtualSwitch -Name "vswitch1" |select -ExpandProperty Nic |select -First 1
  $vds | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostNetworkAdapter $vmhostNetworkAdapter -Confirm:$false
  # Migrate VMs from VSS to VDS
  Write-Host "migrating vms from VSS to VDS"
  }
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  Maybe try like this

  # ESXi hosts to migrate VSS to VDS

  $vmhost_array = get-VMHost-name 10.50.37.31

  # get existing VDswitch

  $vds = get-VDSwitch-name "Pre-production".

  foreach ($vmhost to $vmhost_array)

  {

  # Add ESXi hosts service VDS

  Write-Host-object 'Add' $vmhost 'to' $vds

  $null = $vds |

  Add-VDSwitchVMHost - VMHost $vmhost

  # Natachasery to VDS migration

  Write-Host-object «first extraction vnic connected to vswitch»

  $vmhostNetworkAdapter = get-VMHost $vmhost |

  Get-VirtualSwitch-name "vswitch1 |

  Select-Object - ExpandProperty Nic |

  Select-Object - 1 first

  Write-Host-object "Removing vswitch vnic.

  $vmhost |

  Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter-name $vmhostNetworkAdapter |

  Delete-VirtualSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter-confirm: $false

  Write-Host-Object "RΘcupΦre removed vnic in a variable.

  $Phnic = $vmst | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter-physics - name $vmhostNetworkAdapter

  Write-Host-object "adding vmnic (redundant) to ' $vds

  Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter - DistributedSwitch $vds - VMHostPhysicalNic $Phnic - confirm: $false

  # Migrate virtual machines from VSS for VDS

  Write-Host-Object «RΘcupΦre virtualPortgroup vswitch info»

  $vssPG1 = $vmhost | Get-VirtualPortGroup - VirtualSwitch "vswitch1.

  Write-Host-object "migration of VSS for VDS vms."

  foreach ($vssPG to $vssPG1)

  {

  $dvsPG = $vds |

  Get-VDPortgroup |

  Where-Object - FilterScript {}

  $_. ExtensionData.Config.DefaultPortConfig.Vlan.VlanId - eq $vssPG.VlanId

  }

  $vmhost |

  Get - VM |

  Get-NetworkAdapter |

  Where-Object - FilterScript {}

  $_.NetworkName - eq $vssPG.Name

  } | Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkName - $dvsPG.Name - confirm: $false

  }

• Migration VMkernel VDS1 to VDS2 e-cards

  What is the best way to add VMkernel virtual cards when a host migration using VDS vCenter1 to vCenter2? I have attached a sample script that I use for the process. The last command Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter fails with an error "value cannot be null.

  For background, I have a source vCenter Server (version 5.0) and a target vCenter Server (version 5.5). I have a hot migration from a host that uses VDS between vCenter1 and vCenter2. If I run the script step by step, everything works as expected until the command Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter. I can then complete the process manually by using the following in the vSphere Client process:

  Hosts and Clusters-> select host-> Configuration-> network-> vSphere Distributed Switch-> manage e-cards (for the appropriate VDS)-> add-> existing migration of virtual cards

  After completing the manual steps above, I can then remap the VMs and then remove the old VDS (which no longer exists).

  Something like that

  $vdpgNames = 'Network management', 'Network storage', 'vMotion Network. "

  $vdpg = get-VDPortgroup-name $vdpgNames - VDSwitch $TargetVDS

  Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter - DistributedSwitch $TargetVDS - VMHostPhysicalNic $vmhostNetworkAdapter - VirtualNicPortgroup $vdpg - VMHostVirtualNic $vmk0, $vmk1, $vmk2 - confirm: $false

• vSphere Distributed Switch 5.5 traffic filtering and tagging

  Someone had a chance to create a script to update the traffic filtering and marking of area of a group of ports on a vSphere 5.5 Distributed Switch? The settings are only exposed in the web client for Onyx is not an option.

  I need to create a rule with the values below.

  Traffic Filterig and marking:

  Set State enabled

  New rule of network traffic

  Name: name of the traffic rule

  Action: Tag

  CoS value: tag value Update CoS: 4

  Qualifiers of traffic:

  Traffic management: evacuation

  New qualifying traffic system: vMotion

  This is as much as I can get.

  $VDSPortGroup = get-VDSwitch Test - dvSwitch | Get-VDPortGroup Test-PG

  $dvPgNames = "dvPg1".

  $dvSw = get-VDSwitch-name $dvSwName
