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.

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 collect info patch esx

Hello
IAM looking for a powershell script that collects the result of "motion esxupdate" for all versions of esx host 3.5 in the Virtual center 2.5 version and exports to CSV file.
It should take input as virtual Center and collect all the information of ESX host, connect to esx hosts, run the esxupdate query and update of the CSV with results.
I got the code base of other scripts. I've pasted below. He collects only results for esx server in view of the need to modify the code for the above requirements.
-
$servers = "server0″", server1″
$account = "root".
$password = "password".
$servers | % {$a = plink - pw $password $account@$_ "esxupdate query"
{$server = $_}

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried running the script in the powershell console?

May be a problem with the vesi script editor.

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)
                    $cdpStr += &{if($cdpInfo[0].connectedSwitchPort){$cdpInfo[0].connectedSwitchPort.devId + "(a)"}else{"CDP not configured(a)"}}
               }
          }
          foreach($s in $pg.ComputedPolicy.NicTeaming.NicOrder.StandbyNic){
               if($s){
                    $pNICStr += ($s + "(s)")

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.

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 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 (-).

Help with the Powershell script to collect logs from all domain controllers

I am writing a script to retrieve the last 5 days of application, security and log files from all domain controllers. The script runs, but fire the logs from the local server only. The variable $Computer has all of my DC so it's the fine mark. I guess it's a problem with my line ForEach-Object, but is not error. See the below script.

$log = 'application '.
$date = get-date-format MM-DD-YYYY
$now = get-date
$subtractDays = new-object System.TimeSpan 5,0,0,0,0
$then = $Now.Subtract ($subtractDays)
$Computers = get-ADDomainController-filter *.
ForEach-Object - InputObject $Computers - process {Get-EventLog - LogName $log - after $then - before $now - EntryType error | select EventID, MachineName, Message, Source, TimeGenerated |} ConvertTo-html | {Out-file $env:TEMP\Applicationlog.htm}

Need to obtain information from a host distributed switch

Hi all
I want to get information distributed switch of a host.
With the script below am able to get the name of the switch, network cards added to the dvswitch and its status.
$report = @()
foreach ()$sw in (Get-VirtualSwitch -distributed)) {}
$uuid = $sw. ExtensionData.Summary.Uuid
$sw . ExtensionData.Config.Host | %{
$portStates = $sw. ExtensionData.FetchDVPorts ($null)
$esx = Get-View $_. Config.Host
$netSys = Get-vue $esx. ConfigManager.NetworkSystem
$netSys . NetworkConfig.ProxySwitch | where {$_. Uuid -eq $uuid} | %{
foreach ($pnicSpec in $_. Spec.Backing.PnicSpec) { }
$row = "" | Select Host, dvSwitch, Teddy bear, PortLinkUp
$row . Host = $esx. Name
$row .dvSwitch = $sw. Name
$row . PNic = $pnicSPec. PnicDevice
$row . PortLinkUp = () $portStates | où {$_. Clé - eq $pnicSPec. UplinkPortKey}). State.RunTimeInfo.LinkUp
$report += $row
}
}
}
}
$report

But I would like to get the information of physical switch (switch. physical name and port information of each vmnic connected to this host please help to get the same thing.)
Note:
CDP information are enabled.

Since you have the natachasery, it would be a matter of using a script like Re: how to get the CDP in Switch Cisco values? for the information of the COP.

Did not backup VCenter VM with space in name and the virtual created from ESX host computer

Hi all
Have worked on the backup of VMware VM ESX 4.1,5.1.5.5 for nearly a year and now I'm familiar Vsphere API (VADP), VDDK API,.
Now, I'm working on the same implementation by using the credentials of vCenter it works very well up there in the name of VM space.
VDDK API fails to open the disc with the error code VIX_E_FILE_NOT_FOUND 4, I studied on it, the problem is with "vmpath", the setting is mandatory when using VDDK with vCenter.
vmpath is in cnxParams and it specifies the owner of the particular disc vm.
vmpath format is "vmpath = DatacenterName/vm/VMname" for example. 'vmpath = myDC/vm/testVM' it works perfectly
but the problem is when it's likevmpath = myDC/vm/test VM"i.e. the space in my VM name and then fails.
I use VDDK 5.5.4 and vCenter 6.0 because it is compatible with the other.
Thank you and best regards,
Dipak Poirier

Please provide a code snipped, including the full command. This could make things more clear.

Powershell scripts need to collect info ESX storage

Hello
I need three scripts to collect information from ESX storage as shown below
1. information on the hardware-storage & gt; to collect information on the SCSI controller and HBA cards.
ESX name | | SCSI controller HBA1 | HBA2
Expected results
ESX name | SCSI (model, Bios version, serial number, Raid config) | HBA1 (model, Firmware version, serial number, WWPN) | HBA2 (model, Firmware version, serial number, WWPN)
Note: Need info on all controllers SCSI and HBA in the ESX box, so additional columns may be added as required.
2. report on the use of storage - & gt; Usage report storage including local file system storage and SAN devices.
ESX name | | File system Size | Opportunity | DISP | Use% | Mount point | Scopes
Note: Need of all sizes in the UK. Extensions are applicable to data SAN storage and just the DiskID measure as vmhba1:1:1
3 San disk information - & gt; To collect information on San Disk
Disc ID | Lun ID | Size of the disk | Brand/model | Paths | Policy | Active HBA WWPN
Expected results
vmhba1:1:1 | 0110 | 130 G | EMCxxxx | 4 | Fixed | xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There was an error, you cannot delete items from a hash table by looping through the values.

Try this one (it works for me).
```
$nrMax = 10
$taskHash = @{}

Get-Cluster  | Get-VM | %{
  $spec = new-object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec;
  $spec.cpuAllocation = New-Object VMware.Vim.ResourceAllocationInfo;
  $spec.cpuAllocation.Shares = New-Object VMware.Vim.SharesInfo;
  $spec.cpuAllocation.Shares.Level = "Normal";
  $spec.cpuAllocation.Limit = -1;
  $spec.cpuAllocation.Reservation = 0;
  $task = Get-View ($_.Extensiondata.ReconfigVM_Task($spec))
  $taskHash[$task.Info.Key] = $task
  while($taskHash.Count -eq $nrMax){

        foreach($task in $taskHash.Values){
            $task.UpdateViewData()
            if("success","error" -contains $task.Info.State){
                $toBeRemoved += $task.Info.Key

Help display information from the data store

Hi, I'm trying to format a table with information from various commands, and I can't find out how to do it.
Basically I want the table to have the following information:
ESX host - DatastoreName - CanonicalName - CapacityMB - MultipathPolicy
The problem is the get-scsilun cli annoys me only the canonical ability and multiple trips, but I want to add the other get-vmhost and get-datastore information
The command I'm ussing is:
Get-vmhost | Get-ScsiLun | WHERE-object {$_.} Seller - eq "EmC" - and $_. LunType - eq 'disc'} | Format-Table-property CanonicalName, CapacityMB, MultipathPolicy-auto | Out-String-width 120
No idea how to do that?
Thanks in advance!
Pablo. -.

Try something like this
```
$report =@()

foreach($esx in get-vmhost){
    foreach($lun in (Get-ScsiLun -VmHost $esx -LunType disk | where-object {$_.Vendor -eq "EMC"})){
        foreach($ds in (Get-Datastore -VMHost $esx)){
            $ds.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent | %{
                if($_.diskName -eq $lun.CanonicalName){
                    $row = "" | Select Host,DS,CanonicalName,CapacityMB,MultiPathPolicy
                    $row.Host = $esx.Name
                    $row.DS = $ds.Name
                    $row.CanonicalName = $lun.CanonicalName
                    $row.CapacityMB = $lun.CapacityMB
                    $row.MultiPathPolicy = $lun.MultipathPolicy
                    $report += $row                }
            }
        }
    }
}

$report | ft -AutoSize
```
The link between the data store and the logic unit number is done by comparing canonicalname the LUN with each canonicalname of the extent of the disk of the data warehouses.

I need an example script Powershell in Windows 7

I can repeat this request I presented during my "subscription", but he doesn't know if it took.

I would be recognizing an example of a Windows Powershell Script that looks up a record in a file and displays the content of this record on my screen. Records are scanned from Documents. They are scanned by user 'XX' within the Date.

The path is: C:\Documents\DailyPosting

I've programmed in a distant past, but did not use scripts. If I had an example I could go from there. I don't read very well of manuals.

I am 78 years old. Would be grateful yourhelp!
