Need a powershell script to find the PID of VM in an ESX box

Hello

I need a powershell script to list out the PID of all virtual machines running in a box of ESX.

The script should prompt for ESX box name and root password.

Expected results:

The virtual computer name. NEST

Thanks in advance!

My mistake, the point (any character) is to eat the rest of the message.

Try again with

$mask = [regex]"vmid=(\d+)\s+([\w-]+)"

He accepts what regex esteem alphabetic characters or the hyphen (-).

Need help with script to find the virtual computer by IP

Looking for a script that will correspond to the vm to IP, but should be able to find several IPS at the same time.
I put this together from scripts on the net, which works well to search for a single IP address at a time:
$match_address = Read-Host "enter the IP address to find."
Get - VM | %{
$vmips = $_. Guest.IPAddress
{foreach ($ip in $vmips)
If ($ip - as $match_address) {}
"VM found correspondence address: {0}" f $_. Name
}
}
}
But would need to be able to enter several IP addresses of different subnets in the $match_address and search script for a match for every ip address.

Could you please try this?

function search-VMAssociatedToIP {}

(param

$ArrayOfIPToCheck

)

{in process

$VMsAndAssociatedIP = get-view - viewtype 'virtualmachine ' | {foreach-object

$VM = $_

$_.guest.net | {foreach-object

$Net = $_

$_. IpAddress | {foreach-object

$IpAddress = $_

$Output = New-Object-Type PSObject-Prop ([ordered] @ {}

"VM" = $VM. Name

"NetworkName" = $Net.Network

"IP address" = $IpAddress

})

Return $Output

}

}

}

$ArrayOfIPToCheck | {foreach-object

$IPtoCheck = $_

$VMsAndAssociatedIP | where {$_.} IpAddress - eq $IPtoCheck} | {foreach-object

$Output = New-Object-Type PSObject-Prop ([ordered] @ {}

"IpToCheck" = $IPtoCheck

'VM' = $_. VM

"NetworkName" = $_.NetworkName

'IpAddress' = $_. IpAddress

})

Return $Output

}

}

}

}

$MyArray = "10.0.33.1","10.0.30.11","10.0.20.11","10.0.32.1".

Search for VMAssociatedToIP - ArrayOfIPToCheck $MyArray | OGV

Use a table entry.

First get the IP addresses of all computers installed correctly (only for virtual machines with VMware tools) virtual based on get - view so the collection will be fast.

Then compare with the PPE provided as input.

Need to powershell script to gather the host ESX Info network

Hello

I need two scripts powershell to collect two types of information about the ESX host network.

1. information vNIC -& gt; information on the vmnic (physical ESX host network adapter) connected to vSwitches.

(Example) output expected:

2. Portgroup information

PortGroup | vNIC (s) with active / standby | PCI slot of vNIC (s) with active / standby | Physical switch with port number

Expected results (example):

Service console | vmnic0 (a) : (s) | 01 vmnic1: 00. 00 (a) : 02:00. 00 (s) | abcd-123 [GigabitEthernet10/10] : xyzf-7890 [Gigabitethernet11/11]

Please note if CDP is not active, then in the field of physical switch values can contain "CDP is not enabled"

Thanks in advance!

Noticed that the two threads under became a little mixed in the script.

This is the script with the devIds with the indication of the active / standby.

foreach($esxImpl in (Get-VMHost)){
     $esx = $esxImpl | Get-View
     $netSys = Get-View $esx.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem
     foreach($pg in $esx.Config.Network.Portgroup){
          $pNICStr = @()
          $pciStr = @()
          $cdpStr = @()
          foreach($a in $pg.ComputedPolicy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.ActiveNic){
               if($a){
                    $pNICStr += ($a + "(a)")
                    $pciStr += ($esx.Config.Network.Pnic | where {$_.Device -eq $a} | %{$_.Pci + "(a)"})
                    $cdpInfo = $netSys.QueryNetworkHint($a)

          }
          foreach($s in $pg.ComputedPolicy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.StandbyNic){

               }
          }

Need a powershell script to gather information from ESX host

Hello
I need a powershell script to collect the below given information host ESX to the Virtual Center. My VC:2.5 of the environment, the ESX hosts: 2.5, 3, 3.5
At present I have individual powershell scripts of a steamer to get these details. Would be more useful to have a single script. I tried VESI, but does not receive the report in the below in the format.
| ESX host name Version | Number | construction | manufacturer Model | Processor type | Number of physical CPUS | Number of cores | VMotion service IP Console IP | | County HBA | Physical NETWORK interface cards count
Thanks in advance!

So I'm at my wits end here.

It works for me and Robert also confirmed that it worked for him.

Although I don't see why this would solve the problem, you could finally try an upgrade to PowerShell v2 RTM.

Need a powershell script to create a local user on esx given the esx server list box

Hello
I need a powershell script to create a local user on esx in a given list entry of esx servers through a csv spreadsheet. The script should ask me the user name and the password for the user name to be created on the given list of esx servers.
Thanks in advance!

Just noticed that there is a lack of vacuum after the - password parameter.

It should be
```
$userName = Read-Host "Username"
$password = Read-Host "Password" -AsSecureString:$true
Import-Csv "C:\vmhosts.csv" | %{
     Connect-VIServer -Server $_.Hostname -Credential (Get-Credential)
     New-VMHostAccount  -Id $userName -Password $password -UserAccount:$true -GrantShellAccess:$true -Confirm:$false
     Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false
}

Need a PowerShell script to...

Hi, I need a PowerShell script to list all the virtual machine from the center of data-list for each virtual computer all drives and formats the disc and the disc type and a free column for comments.
Move us the backup platforms and try to develop a plan of migration for all virtual machines
See you soon

Looks like you are using an older version of PowerCLI, the CapacityGB was introduced in one of the previous PowerCLI builds.

Try to upgrade.

If an upgrade is not possible, you can do
```
Get-Datacenter -Name MyDC | Get-VM | Sort-Object -Property Name |Get-HardDisk | Select @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent.Name}},Name,@{N="CapacityGB";E={[int]($_.CapacityKB/1MB)}},@{N="Type";E={[string]::Join('/',($_.DiskType,$_.StorageFormat,$_.Persistence))}},@{N="Comment";E={' '*25}} |Export-Csv C:\HD-report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
```
It also sorts the VM on their Name property.

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?

Have you tried running the script in the powershell console?

May be a problem with the vesi script editor.

PowerShell script to browse the root of an ESXI host?

I am currently working on a project to automate the task to bring our standard up to STIG vmware environment.

I was able to make the largest part of the task using PowerCLI and vSphereCLI scripts. Some patches require that you check the data to files like/etc/ssh/ssh_config... I tried to use the vifs.pl, but that does not allow you to browse directories host root. Also trying to research how to execute SSH via Powershell commands, but there is no free utlity. Is there another way to do this?
Here is an example: under text difficulty: I need to be able to read the content of/etc/ssh/ssh_config to check if there is the "LOCAL so."

Under rule: the SSH client must not send any environment variables on the server or send only those relating to the regional settings.

Script to find the virtual computer off for more than 7 days

Guys,
I need a bit help I'm looking for a script that finds all the VMs who have been turned off for more than 7 days. I would like also the names of those VM and how many days they have been turned off for a worksheet excel output.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, my mistake.

Script to find the 'top 10' VMs consuming disk performance?

We're troubleshooting an issue of storage and I'm looking for a better way to find virtual machines that consume disk peformance. If I had a wish list, the script would be the 'top 10' VMs with the highest disk throughput and the e/s in the last 24 hours.
Such a script exist? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can try the following one liner
```
Get-VM | Select Name,
     @{N="AverageIO";
       E={($_ | Get-Stat -Stat disk.usage.average -Start (Get-Date).adddays(-1) | Measure-Object -Average -Property Value).Average}} | `
     Sort-Object -Property AverageIO -Descending | Select -First 10
```
This example uses the metric of disk.usage.average but you can easily use any of the other measures related to the disc.

PowerShell script to see the paths

Hello

Need a simple script to check how many paths are available from each vhba. Also need to determine if there are paths dead reported.

Output:

vmhba1:

Target: 2

Features: 10

Course: 9

Way of death:

vmhba1:C0:t0:l0 State of Lun target

vmhba2:

Target: 2

Features: 10

Trails: 10

THX

Would this be something like this do?

foreach($esx in Get-VMHost){
  foreach($hba in (Get-VMHostHba -VMHost $esx -Type "FibreChannel")){
    $target = $hba.VMhost.ExtensionData.Config.StorageDevice.ScsiTopology.Adapter |
      where {$_.Adapter -eq $hba.Key} | %{$_.Target}
    $luns = Get-ScsiLun -Hba $hba -LunType "disk" -ErrorAction SilentlyCOntinue | Measure-Object | Select -ExpandProperty Count    $nrPaths = $target | %{$_.Lun.Count} | Measure-Object -Sum | select -ExpandProperty Sum    $hba | Select @{N="VMHost";E={$esx.Name}},@{N="HBA";E={$hba.Name}},    @{N="Target#";E={if($target -eq $null){0}else{@($target).Count}}},@{N="Device#";E={$luns}},@{N="Path#";E={$nrPaths}}
  }
}

PowerShell Script to search the FC target

We have looked everywhere and can not find the correct commands to get what we are looking for. I hope someone can help.
If you connect to vCenter and Goto Setup / storage / right click on a data store and click Properties. Then click on manage paths. Under Fibre Channel, there is a target: value. How get us this value of PowerCLI? Thank you very much for your help!

In the vSphere Client, you see the node and the Port WWN concatenated sets.

To get the same result, use this
```
$report = foreach($esx in (Get-VMHost | where{$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"})){
    foreach($lun in (Get-ScsiLun -VmHost $esx -LunType disk)){
        Get-ScsiLunPath -ScsiLun $lun | `        Select @{N="Host";E={$esx.Name}},
            @{N="LUN";E={$lun.CanonicalName}},
            @{N="Target";E={
                "{0:x} {1:x}" -f ($_.Extensiondata.Transport.NodeworldwideName,
                                  $_.Extensiondata.Transport.PortworldwideName)
            }}
