• Need help PowerCLI with recovery ESXi host Asset Tag Info

  In the hope that someone, anyone, will be able to help me understand what I can do wrong and how to use PowerCLI to retrieve valid ESXi host Asset Tag information that appears in the tab material status vCenter. I have absolutely no problem of recovery of the serial numbers of host (sometimes referred to as Service Tags), manufacture, model, part, build, etc., but don't can't seem to be able to interrogate the current numbers of inventory number .

  None of the following attributes or property values currently returned the information required and which exists (see image below):

  Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo [0]. IdentifierValue

  Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo [1]. IdentifierValue

  Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo [2]. IdentifierValue

  Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo | where {$_.} IdentifierType.Key - eq "assettag" IdentifierValue})

  

  This is the script that I am running. I used PowerCLI Version 5.1:

  $VIServer = 'enter vCenter Server Name'

  
  # Add component snap kernel PowerCLI
  If (!) () Get-pssnapin-name VMware.VimAutomation.Core - erroraction silentlycontinue)) {}
  Add-pssnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
  }

  SE connect-VIServer $VIServer

  $HostReport = @)

  $VMH = get-VMHost | Get-View | % {}

  $Report = "" | Select the host name, Version, build, manufacture, model, series, Asset Tag

  $Report.Hostname = $_. Name

  $Report.version = $_. Config.Product.Version

  $Report.Build = $_. Config.Product.Build

  $Report.manufacture = $_. Hardware.SystemInfo.Vendor

  $Report.Model = $_. Hardware.SystemInfo.Model

  $Report.Serial = $_. Hardware.SystemInfo.OtherIdentifyingInfo [0]. IdentifierValue

  $ Tag = Report.Asset?

  $HostReport += $Report
  
  }

  $HostReport | Export-Csv «.\HostReport.csv"- NoTypeInformation

  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  Ron thx.

  As far as I know, has nothing to do with PowerCLI, this is how vCenter gets this information, and how and where some HW providers make this information available.

  With the interface of the CIM, you can dump all the available information and then find exactly the tag died murdered.

  See what this returns

  import-module CimCmdlets$esxiHostname = "MyESXiServer"$HostUsername = "root"$CIOpt = New-CimSessionOption -SkipCACheck -SkipCNCheck -SkipRevocationCheck -Encoding Utf8 -UseSsl$Session = New-CimSession -Authentication Basic -Credential $HostUsername -ComputerName $esxiHostname -port 443 -SessionOption $CIOptGet-CimInstance -CimSession $Session -ClassName CIM_Chassis
  

  You will be asked the password root ESXi.

  On some of our older IBM HW, I get the following where we expect the identification sticker.

  

  But the information is there, just to another property.

  As we have already mentioned our VMworld session, exploring the CIM API.

  There is a lot of information in there

• Mobile 5.1 ESXi host in vCenter unpublished 6 - license?

  Hi all -

  If I take an ESXi host 5.1, previously managed (under license) via a given vCenter (also v5.1) and its key in the inventory management, then I disconnect/remove this host from the vCenter 5.1 and connect it to a completely new vCenter, what happens to the host of license?

  It disappear and become a 60-day eval, or his license key moves WITH the host in the new vCenter?  (The new vCenter in this scenario would have absolutely zero license keys from host ESXi that apply to guests of ESXi 5.1 existing installs below)

  I was wondering what 'happens' in this scenario I have the document our so-called steps for migration.  Yes, I know that this could / should all be tested "in the lab" but don't get started me on that.  Thanks for any comments on what I can expect.

  My best guess is that the host will LOSE its license now, it becomes a 'standalone' ESXi host when disconnected and removed from the old vCenter (via the "Delete" command).  I want to just make sure that it is also fully functional, if she has run VMs on it at the time or not (although Yes, I'll put it in maintenance mode before removing the old VirtualCenter and join a new).

  And Yes, of course I have old games of the existing environment 5.1 ESXi license keys.  I'm just trying to set expectations as to what is happening in licenses-wise once I move the host from the old to the new vCenter.  I have all pretty well understood technical pieces, including AVS and DVS network considerations.  Thank you.

  Found the problem as vCenter 6.0 version I was running. I was running an older version of the VC and the current version of ESXi.
  Downloaded the current version and reinstalled and all good.

• Single recovery of ESXi host disaster using boot USB device.

  Here's the scenario. I have an ESXi host 5.0 running from a USB device on a server blade using shared virtual machine network storage and is scratch storage. I have a failure catastrophic host. Can I just plug the USB device into another blade in the same chassis and start getting my VMs back operational.

  In addition, in a similar scenario if I have two devices USB with the same configuration information about them can use as a backup in case of failure of the USB device or is it config info constantly being written to the USB device which is used at the time.

  At the level of the configuration, you need not, this means that as long as you take a regular backup of the config, it is ok.

  But when you need to set up a backup system if a production system does not go and change the Server Blade, be sure to provide a coherent zoning and LUN masking for the blade, if VMware will see the same number of unit logic and tables as before. Same thing applies for VLANS, switches to which the new blade is connected must be configured in the same way that the old blade was (its ports must be in the same VLAN), or some VM can't see the network correctly.

  1. If a system is corrupt and you just need a fresh USB boot

  Plug a USB stick fresh, possibly already installed, boot, and then send the archived configuration, reboot

  2. If a full blade goes wrong, you must change the server.

  Put the WWNS of the HBAS in the same areas that the blade HBA has failed

  Present the WWN of the HBA to the storage group

  If you use the same chassis slotin, the network should be ok, but if not, put the internal ports of the switch module blade matches the new blade in the same VLAN as port internal used for blade failed.

  If you use VirtualFabric / VirtualConnect on 10GBE NICs, you must set up the same way, it was too much on the failed system.

  I hope that its more clear now!

• script to find the local TSM and TSM remote is activated on the esxi host

  Need to generate scripts to find on which esxi host in the vcenter is enabled for Local TSM and TSM remote...

  Hello, nareshunik-

  Thanks to the handy Get-VMHostService cmdlet, you can quite easily get this info:

  Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService | ?{"TSM","TSM-SSH" -contains $_.Key -and $_.Running} | Select VMHost,Key,Running
  

  The result is something like:

  VMHost    Key      Running
  ------    ---      -------
  myHost01  TSM         True
  myHost02  TSM         True
  myHost05  TSM         True
  myHost05  TSM-SSH     True
  

  TSM is the local service of TSM or "ESXi Shell", and the TSM - SSH service is "SSH".  How does do for you?

• Mac OS x won't start on mac pro esxi host

  We have the latest mac pro machine functioning as a construction of host 5.5.0 esxi 2718055.  We have setup the virtual Mac machine of the as a waiter in a magic triangle to our Mac OSX windows domain configuration.  Everything was up and running for some time now not really used because we delayed the purchase of our projected deployment Mac until this year.  I logged on today, and he says he has several updates and necessary to restart, so we issued the command reboot. Now the machine won't start upward.  It starts the boot process you see the Apple logo and progress bar starts moving on a 1/4 of the way and then it just turned off. I tried several of the commands below in the link, but nothing works, it just turns off. I tried to use my mac with vm ware fusion and the connection to the host and always change. I have triple checked that I am in the comments window active when you press these commands, but the problem is it only stays on during approximately 5 seconds then stops. I have removed from the inventory of esxi and re added, as well as restarted the ESXi host as well.  The virtual machine is sitting on the local storage of the esxi server.

  https://support.Apple.com/en-AU/HT201255

  Has anyone else had a problem similar to this?  I'm getting to this section and the progress bar starts to go, but then stops and turns off virtual machine.  How can I enter in address this further.

  

  Okay, so I went through the list and now I got using the command option r. tried before but maybe I press the keys long enough.  I was using my mac book pro and pro fusion to do all this. Couldn't make it work when you use the client heavy vsphere on my windows machine. Repair disk permissions is grayed out. I ran check disk permissions and got a ton of errors, ran check disk and he stopped saying repair the disk. Ran repair disk and he stopped to say that he cannot repair the disk, backup as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your backup files.

  Is there another way to try to fix this sucker, or is he at this point a POS and build a new one?

  

  

• 8.3 OMSA @ ESXi 6.0 U2 @ R515-&gt; cannot log into the website OMSA to ESXi HOST.--

  Hello guys.

  I've updated my ESXi of U3 5.0 to 6.0 U2 and I lost my OMSA. I can not connect from the web page.

  For the update of the host, I used this ISO file:
  . VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.0.0.update02-3620759.x86_64-Dell_Customized-A00.iso

  After that, I installed OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-WINX64-8.3.0-1908_A00. EXE to a VM W2012S to this host. I can open the web site to connect, but when I try to connect to my ESXi HOST, I received this message: failed to connect... connection error.

  When I saw that I began to check a few things, I ran: 'list of vib software esxcli' and I saw:

• Recently added that in environment VMware ESXi hosts do not appear

  I'm running worm vFoglight 6.7. recently, I added 2 new 5.1 ESXi host and 2 data stores into my vsphere cluster. These new fabrics do not appear in vfoglight under dash VMware environment. I tried to update the server vCenter added by re activating the latter. Without success. Could someone help me how to get it to update.

  Give a washer, they can probably find what is happening and turn it on.  It is very rare that I've ever seen an upgrade fails or not be able to recover the worst of him.

• Connect 2 ESXi hosts to array SAS MD3220

  I have two R620s who go to the server as a host for the VM for several web servers (in a Windows NETWORK load balancing) and two other R620s which will be considered as physical database servers (in a Failover Cluster) and have to apply to a single Bay MD3220 SAS. The DB cluster will host the databases shared on a virtual disk and a data store shared on another virtual drive on the Bay. ESXi hosts will store their vmx/vmdk files elsewhere on the Board.

  I'm still waiting for delivery of the second DB server, but in the meantime, I installed the first and he speaks with success to the table - I run MDSM on that server and the server is successfully connected to DB and filestore volumes. guess I'm having a little problem with the second server.

  I installed ESXi on both VM hosts. I guess the next step is to save in MDSM, but MDSM is not automatically host port identifiers as assigned. Does?

  My next guess would be to identify manually port host identifiers, but how can I determine what are their respective IDs? I couldn't see anything obvious in the BIOS.

  I have currently two independent hosts to VM with ESXi installed v5.1 - I have not created a VM vCenter again because the host does not have access to the storage Bay (!), so I can pair together for HA hosts, etc. As a broader question, given what I want to achieve, how should I be going to this topic?

  Indeed, you will need to register the VMware hosts in MDSM yourself. There is no agent to have a VMware host register automatically on the SAN (at the regular difference in Windows and linux).

  You may be able to find the WWN of the HBA SAS in the SAS controller bios.

  The only other way I know not to register the correct WWN with the server is intrusive, but not so hard:

  -Stop your Windows (cluster SQL) servers

  -Stop the VMware servers

  -power of the MD3220 downwards

  -power up the MD3220

  -power up to one of the servers Windows (one that has MDSM on it)

  -power up the VMware Server 1

  In MDSM, you can now save this first VMware Server.

  Turn on the other 2 servers and register the 2nd VMware Server.

  I found that only shutting down 1 VMware server is not erase the memory of the MD whose WWNS are connected and there is no way to find which ports you enter the WWN in question.

• OME 1.3: update R910 5.5 ESXi host through iDrac fails

  OME 1.3 fees deployed on a Server R2 Windows Server 2012. OME server is in the same subnet as the iDRAC.

  OMSA agent for ESXi 5.5 deployed, but not relevant since the updates of the system OME uses iDRAC for ESXi hosts.

  The R910 was discovered and inventoried by WS - MAN on iDRAC and OMSA bot successfully.

  Trying to make an update of the system. I find the server in noncompliant systems, select it, select all 4 applicable updates.

  I apply and provide the login of the iDRAC.

  The task fails with errors below:

  -J' tried with the online catalogue Dell as well as a local Manager of Repositry

  -J' noticed that the 4 updates all point to pacaages in. EXE format. Since the deployment through iDRAC they shouldn't be. BIN files?

  Results:
  Download the packages.
  The call of method InstallFromUri to download packages to the iDRAC

  The component that is being updated is not valid. Re-run the inventory in order to determine the correct component, and then try again

  Hi Roger,

  Two questions:

  • What is the version of your R910 iDRAC6?
  • If you run the following command, then what is the result you get?

  WinRM e cimv2/root/dcim/DCIM_LifecycleJob - u: - p: - r: https: / //wsman:443 - SkipCNCheck - SkipCACheck - SkipRevocationCheck - auth: base - encoding: utf-8

  • Is it possible to restart your server? If so, can you check if CSIOR is enabled on the server and are you able to see running system services?

  You can get information about CSIOR on this link:
