• List of IP address and name of the virtual machine in a virtual

  Hello world

  Nice to be back on this forum. Actually, I'm trying to get all the Vm name and corresponding virtual center using VI SDk2.5 ipadress. Also is it possible to enumerate all ESX under Virtal Center - & gt; and all (Vm + ip) under ESX.

  BTW, you must have installed VMware tool to get the IP address since that information is available of OS and not the VM itself. The property path for the IP address is guest.ipAddress.

  Once you get the reference of the virtual machine, you can get it easily:

  vm.getGuest () .getIpAddress)

  Note: getGuest() may be null, so should be checked before calling getIpAddress().

• Open with: 'Application name' - 'Name of the Virtual Machine' (2.0.4) AND (2.0.5)

  Hello

  Looking for help here...

  I notice that if I try to open a file on my Mac with an application of my virtual machine (Win XP Professional) I get 2 options for each windows application:

  1. Windows Media Player - Windows XP Professional (2.0.4)

  2. Windows Media Player - Windows XP Professional (2.0.5)

  The 2.0.4 option never works but the 2.0.5 option. I know this has something to do with the upgrade to the latest 2.0.5 version, but how do you / is it possible to remove the non-fonctionnel 2.0.4 options?

  Help, please! It's pretty boring.

  Make sure that the virtual machine is turned off and not suspended.  First locate the virtual machine in the finder.  You can do it by Ctrlclicking on it from the library of the virtual machine and choose Show in Finder.  In Finder Ctrlthe .vmwarevm of the virtual machine and choose "show package content".  If some shows as a folder go there.  Of in the virtual machine folder, you will see a folder named Applications.  Applications are the links to the Applications that you open in the virtual machine.  Remove vouchers there should do.  You may be able to determine the good by the update and the last number should be also the most recent.  These changes to take effect, you will need to reboot or restart the finder.  To restart the finder press and hold Esc, command,Option, and choose finder in there and restart.

  You can also just delete the Applications folder and then start the virtual machine.  Once that the virtual machine is started just enter the unit.  Entering the unit will recreate this Applications folder with the correct files in there.  You should always restart or restart the finder once this is done before it takes effect in the mac operating system.

• snapshotmanager.pl to view the instant full name of the virtual machine without hanging.

  Is there an option in snapshotmanager.pl that I can use to display the entire name instant. From now on, the name of the snapshot is divided into LIST action after which my GOTO action does not rightly! All tweak in snapshotmanager that would allow me to list the full name of a snapshot for a virtual machine that I could feed to the GOTO routine (I wouldn't mind if date, State, standby is not displayed).

  Actually, I'm trying to write a script to perform multiple actions of instant goto for a virtual machine.

  It is a command simple "printf" which can be changed to format the output. You can modify this code to increase the character limit to meet your needs.

• How do you change the size of the virtual machine screen?

• 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.

  },
  );

• [Beginner] How to change the virtual machine name

  Hello

  How can I change the name of a Virtual Machine - I want to say the name that appears in VMPlayer (or VMWare Fusion) as it has recently used Virtual Machines. I tried to change the name of the vmx file but this does not affect the name of the virtual machine displayed in VMPlayer.

  Thank you very much.

  VMware Fusion 3.x and 2.x but not 1.x, you can click on and change the name of the virtual machine in the Virtual Machine library on the right side, just under the display area.

  For VMware Player you need to edit the "displayName ="parameter in the configuration file .vmx and of VMware Player virtual machine must be closed when you perform this operation."

• Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.

  Thanks in advance!

  Not really as much as I know.

  The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.

  The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.

  With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.

• How to get the name of my virtual machine to a named resource pool

  Based on the script ghettoVCBg2 on the platform VIMA, I realized a backup solution for my ESXi (free) servers (also an automatic mailing is integrated ). My next goal is to integrate an automatic selection of my computer virtual based on the name of the list of resources. To understand, I have mainly two categories '1_Productive' and '2_Test', from resource pools. In both categories, there is a resource pool 'SRV' and 'CLT '.

  for example: 1_Productive-SRV-VM

  ------CLT-VM

  At the time of the backup, I have to manually enter the name of the virtual machine in a file. My question is how to integrate an automatic selection for example my pool of resources "SRV." My first idea was to shoot the 'vidiscover.pl' tool and run it for each server separately. Subsequently I merge files into a single file for ghettoVCBg2. You should know I want only to mit backup s excluded '1_Productive\SRV' VM '2_TEST\SRV '. But the name in double "SRV" can be replaced. A really great solution could be a direct integration in ghettoVCBg2

  Could someone help because I'am not very firm with perl programming...

  Thank you very much.

  Take a look at this review of the script: listVMsInResourcePool.pl

• The processor of the virtual machine statistics

  How to change the script below to reach the underside of the elements, given

  1. when it collects the past 30 days stats it must ignore all measures on Saturday and Sunday.

  2. currently, he checks the monthCPUAvg of each virtual machine if it is greater than 80% and add it to $report, I need to check in the last 30 days (except sat and Sun) if the VM continued 80% usage for all 6 hours, if yes, then add to $report.

  $import = Get-VM
  $report = @()
  foreach ($vm in $import) {
      $Interval = "30"
      $IntervalFinish = Get-Date
      $IntervalStart = $IntervalFinish.addDays(-1 * $Interval)
      $CPUAvg = $vm | Get-Stat -Stat Cpu.Usage.Average -Start $IntervalStart -Finish $IntervalFinish
      $vms = "" | Select-Object VMName, CPU, MonthCPUAvg
      $vms.VMName = $vm.Name
      $vms.CPU = $vm.numcpu
      $vms.MonthCPUAvg = [String]([Math]::Round((($CPUAvg | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average).Average),1))
      $report += ($vms | Where-Object{$_.MonthCPUAvg -gt 80})
  }
  

  Try this (I use 30% as the threshold here):

  $import = Get-VM | where{$_.powerstate -eq "PoweredOn"}  $report = @()   foreach ($vm in $import) {     $Interval = "7"   $IntervalFinish = Get-Date     $IntervalStart = $IntervalFinish.addDays(-1 * $Interval)      $CPUAvg = $vm | Get-Stat -Stat Cpu.Usage.Average -Start $IntervalStart -Finish $IntervalFinish -Intervalmins 120 | Where { (Get-Date $_.Timestamp -Uformat '%A') -inotmatch 'Saturday|Sunday' }    For($i=0; $i -le $CPUAvg.Length; $i++) {    if($CPUAvg[$i].Value -gt 30 -and $CPUAvg[($i - 1)].Value -gt 30 -and $CPUAvg[($i - 2)].Value -gt 30) {      $report += "" | Select @{N='VM Name'; E={$vm.Name}},       @{N='Start Interval'; E={$CPUAvg[$i].Timestamp}},       @{N='End Interval'; E={$CPUAvg[($i - 2)].Timestamp}},      @{N='Avg CPU Interval'; E={[math]::Round((($CPUAvg[($i - 2)].Value + $CPUAvg[($i - 2)].Value + $CPUAvg[($i - 2)].Value) / 3), 2) }}    }  }}$report
  

  Out of the sample of my race:

  Name of the virtual machine	Starting interval	Interval end	AVG CPU interval
  -------	--------------	------------	----------------
  VM1	27.04.2015 08:00	27.04.2015 12:00	58,69
  VM1	27.04.2015 06:00	27.04.2015 10:00	54,86
  VM1	24.04.2015 10:00	24.04.2015 14:00	36.81
  VM1	24.04.2015 08:00	24.04.2015 12:00	50,61
  VM2	23.04.2015 08:00	23.04.2015 12:00	40,76
  VM2	22.04.2015 10:00	22.04.2015 14:00	37,97
  VM2	22.04.2015 08:00	22.04.2015 12:00	40,87
  VM2	21.04.2015 10:00	21.04.2015 14:00	37.6

  Note: It may look like a 4 hour period, but the Timestamp of the third measured value is just indicating the start time of the measurement interval, which lasts for 120 minutes. You can add to the value of output if you use instead:

  @{N = 'Interval end'; E = {($CPUAvg [($i-2)].)} Timestamp). {{AddMinutes (120)}}.

• Delete the virtual machine to the specified date

  I'm trying to write a script to remove a virtual computer on a certain date.  Currently, I want people to add this in the name of the virtual machine "VMname_Delete-/ 1/1/14", I then search for the virtual computer with:

  Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"}

  With that, I'm sure that the correct VM is selected, and I tested it with virtual machines to make sure.  Now comes the hardest part (at least for me), I want to take the date to which belongs the VM name, convert it to a DateTime and then compare it to the current date.  If they match, I want to remove the virtual machine.  I tried something in the sense of:

  Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"} | foreach {$_ .name-split "-"}

  Which of course divide the table edge, and on tests, I had an output similar to:

  VM_Delete

  01/01/14

  Of course, now I don't know how to finish the rest.  I thought that the script would be something like:

  Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"} | {foreach}

  If (($_.name-split «-»)-[DateTime] - game (get-date-format ' MM/dd/yy'))

  {Remove-VM - VM $_ - DeletePermanently}

  }

  I don't see the logic in my head, but of course, I just can't write they way I think it should go.  Any help is appreciated.

  Perhaps you could do something in this direction

  $now = get-Date

  Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"} | {foreach}

  $dt = [datetime]($_.) Name.Split('-') [1])

  If ($dt - lt $now) {}

  Remove-VM - VM $_ - DeletePermanently

  }

  }

  With the use of the index ([1]), we select the date part of the name of the virtual computer.

  Then we have "cast" the string into a DateTime object.

  Note that typeface could cause problems, depending on the culture settings you use.

  Worse, divide you the date on the character string ' / ' and then generate the DateTime object as follows

  $now = get-Date

  Get - VM | where {$_.name - cmatch "Delete-\d\/\d\/\d"} | {foreach}

  $dummy, $year $day, $month = $_. Name.Split('-') [1]. Split('/')

  $dt = get-Date-day $day - month $month-year $year

  If ($dt - lt $now) {}

  Remove-VM - VM $_ - DeletePermanently

  }

  }

• IP address on the virtual machine windows endangered endangered after the importation of the data store.

  I'm gaving a problem with the IP on windows vm disappear after having mounted the snapshot to restore. Here's what I do.

  Mount making LUNS to the esx host area

  I have eyebrows outside the data store to find the vm I want to right click and click Import the vmx file.

  Imports of the virtual machine and when I start it up I wonder if I've moved or copied the VM. I have tried both moved and copy but when I connect to the virtual machine is missing all its IP info.

  Any way to avoid the losting vm sound IP info when I import to the host from a LUN outlet?

  Hello

  Installs on the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

  The MAC of a virtual computer is based on the UUID/name of the virtual machine so if you are not using a static MAC (one that recognizes VMware) and it will change the IP address might also change if you are using DHCP. So I suggest to use a static MAC in the VM configuration.

  Another way is to set up the guest operating system in the virtual machine with a static IP address instead of a DHCP function.

  But if you are unable to remove the virtual machine or the copy in the virtual machine, there may be something locking these files would be an another running virtual machine. If you need to find this VM and kill him. In this case, "vmware-cmd - L" and 'vmware-cmd - l' host in question can be useful to find where the 'hidden' VM is running.  Ultimately you can use ' vm-support - x "to find a list of the virtual machines running by how the hypervisor lists. Then use 'vm-support - Z' to suspend the offending virtual machine that should unlock everything.

  Yes, the use of these commands is command line.

  However, before using these commands determine if you can find the place where life VM incriminated.

• Identify the process of the virtual machine in the Service Console

  Maybe it's a little challenging, but I need to "hang" a VM intentionally for purposes of Compliance\Qualification.  I'm trying to understand the best way to do this and my colleague suggested to connect to the service console, identify the process virtual machine running and terminate, so suspend the virtual machine.  The problem is, I'm not sure how to proceed.  Could someone point me to the light?

  Thank you very much.

  You must know the name of the vmx file (usually it is the first name of the virtual machine).

  Then, connect SSH (or console) to your ESX and run the following command

  PS auxfww | grep 'VMXname '.

  At this point, you can locate the correct PID of the virtual machine. The first number to appear in the output is your PID.

  The PID can be used to complete the process by issuing the command kill-9 PID.

• Generate the CSV file to the virtual machine by using get-stat statistics

  Hi all

  I put my VC for taking samples every 5 minutes for 3 days.

  I would create a PowerCLI script that I can then run on an ad hoc basis to connect to my VC and to get the details for ALL of the virtual machines that are managed by this CR and fill in a CSV (c:\foo.csv):

  • Name of the virtual machine

  • The ESX VM host is currently sitting

  • total number of virtual processors assigned to VM

  • total memory allocated to the VM

  • memory active average used by the virtual machine in the 3 days using samples of 5 minutes

  • average mhz CPU used by VM spent 3 days using samples of 5 minutes

  I have attached a sample file XLS of CSV output should look like.

  If anyone can give me a code to achieve or get on well on my way, I would appreciate it a lot.

  Kind regards

  Alex

  OK, so what you want is something like this then?

  Get-VM | Where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"} |
   Select Name, Host, NumCpu, MemoryMB,
             @{N="Cpu.UsageMhz.Average";E={[Math]::Round((($_ | Get-Stat -Stat cpu.usagemhz.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-72) -IntervalMins 5 -MaxSamples (12) | Measure-Object Value -Average).Average),2)}},
             @{N="Mem.Usage.Average";E={[Math]::Round((($_ | Get-Stat -Stat mem.usage.average -Start (Get-Date).AddHours(-72) -IntervalMins 5 -MaxSamples (12) | Measure-Object Value -Average).Average),2)}}
  

  I think that the issue that you have with the missing stat might be to do with your logging levels in VC, if these are not set correctly it will not save these stats for this period of time.

  What do you get if you do a simple:

  get-vm "SingleVM" | Get-Stat -Stat cpu.usagemhz.average
