Need a script to change the ip address of multiple virtual computers

Hi all

I have a task to change the ip addresses of multiple ip addresses from DHCP to Static server windows operating systems. I have a powershell script I tried to archieve it work with. However, once the ip address is changed the tcp connection is reset. At this point, the script errors on.

Now that I'm stuck with powershell, I turned to powercli. I want to address with the string below, but as assistance to refine.

Get-VMHost $VMHost | Get - vm $VM.name | Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface | WHERE-object {$_.name - eq 'Connect to the Local network'} | Game VMGuestNetworkInterface - static IPPolicy - gateway $VM. Gateway - Netmask $VM.Netmask Ip - $VM.ipaddr - Verbose

I read all the entries to a CSV file.

You will appreciate your help.

See you soon,.

Of course, you could do something like that

foreach($row in (Import-Csv "C:\input.csv" -UseCulture)){
    Get-VMHost $row.Hostname | Get-VM $row.VMname |
    Get-VMGuestNetworkInterface |
    where-object {$_.Name -eq "Local Area Connection"} |
    Set-VMGuestNetworkInterface  -IPPolicy static -Gateway $row.Gateway -Netmask $row.Netmask -Ip $row.ipaddr
}

This assumes that your CSV file has the following columns

Host name, VMname, ipaddr, netmask, gateway

BTW, the cmdlet Set-VMGuestNetworkInterface uses Invoke-VMScript to launch one of the scripts that you find in the folder the PowerCLI installation directory Scripts .

If you take a look inside one of these BAT files, you will see that it is also using the netsh command

  • Script to change the settings for security vSwith

    We need a script to change the settings for security vSwitch.

    To change the below: -.

    Mac changes Accept Reject

    Forged pass Accept Reject

    The two parameters above must change on all the vSwitch in vcenter.

    Altogether. Pass an argument to Get-VMHost

    If you pass the complete hostname (as he shows in vCenter), it will act on the single host:

    Get-VMHost MYESXi01.mydomain.com

    or if you want to do more, you can pass a joker:

    Get-VMHost MYESXi*.mydomain .com

    FWIW, I think that should do the same thing on a single line, if you like this better

    Get-VMhost|%{$hv=Get-View $_.ID;$ns=$hv.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem;($hv.Config.Network.Vswitch)|%{$vs=$_.Spec;$vs.Policy.Security.AllowPromiscuous=$false;$vs.Policy.Security.ForgedTransmits=$false; $vs.Policy.Security.MacChanges=$false;$ns.UpdateVirtualSwitch($_.Name,$vs)}}

  • change the IP address of a machine virtual vcenter

    I have a vCenter VM who need to change the IP addresses and the VLAN.

    Someone at - it a method of proof of the ball to achieve?

    I googled a lot of articles that speak to change the IP address of a virtual computer, but not to a VM vCenter.

    Am I missing something here - he is incredibly easy - or is it so obscure that it may be easier to delete it and recreate it in a place where it should reside?

    Thank you.

    Its not too difficult, but there are a few cleaning tasks, you will have to fill out once its address IP has been changed (solve connectivity ESX to your vCentre, fix Update Manager, etc.).  If you have a small, newly Set up virtual infrastructure you can consider recreating your vCentre, but it's probably easier to not do.

    When your vCentre is a virtual machine, make sure that you can connect to your VI Client directly to the ESX which hosts, otherwise you might end up changing IP of the VC and lose access via VI Client/RDP/VNC etc.  In addition, the fact that it is a virtual machine is of little consequence.

    Don't know why you did not find anything via Google, there is a lot out there, see the following resources to help you get started...

    I have a HP photosmart B110a and Windows vista.

    Previous using of my router, I put a static IP address.

    Now, I have a new router and I can not change the IP address of the printer.

    I've already tried

    Factory reset the printer (IP address does not change)

    Turn off/on router/Printer PC

    Type IP address of the printer to the current address in the browser (the page does not exist)

    Connection USB and USB current running to the wireless program that generated the following message "the PC and the printer are connected to different networks (192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0).  They must be connected to the same network.

    My Network Setup page shows that I am connected to the identifier SSID is correct

    When my officeject hp 4500 goes to sleep and I try to print it doesn't work because it changed the ip address.  I then have to remove and reinstall.  How can I fix?

    It depends on the model of the router.

    Assuming you have a House with a router, connect as admin (the installer first person the router must have the password). list of connected devices, if there is a next button that said 'reserve ip address', click next to the printer, and you are finished.

    If none of these butotn, you will need the manual for the router, that show you how to assign the ip address fixed.

  • Change the IP address of the external Interface

    I need to change the IP address of the external interface remotely.  I have SSH in to the ASA plan and make a change.  I can't be there to make this change, since the site is out of State.  There will be problems?  The current configuration is

    interface Ethernet0/0
    nameif outside
    security-level 0
    IP 66.102.7.22 255.255.255.248

    The new IP address will be 66.102.7.18 255.255.255.248.  Also, is this the right syntax?

    interface Ethernet 0/0

    no address ip 66.102.7.22 255.255.255.248

    IP 66.102.7.18 255.255.255.248

    Thank you.

    Diane,

    If you access the ASA via its public IP address on the external interface, and if you change this IP address, you will lose communication with the ASA.

    It's better if you can make the change from the inside.

    If you need to change remotely, you can change the IP address, and then try the SSH connection to the new IP address.

    However if a problem occurs, you cannot access the ASA.

    The syntax is correct.

  • change the IP address of the ACS

    Hello guys,.

    I will be soon changed the IP address of my ACS server because I will move it to a new VIRTUAL LAN. the ACS is also integrated with Microsoft Active Directory users for authentication to the wireless lan users.

    My main concern is that if I change the IP address of the ACS, I have to do something on the Active Directory Server? I have to all certificate related issues? GBA I am running is version 5-1-0-44-6.

    all opinions are very welcome and appreciated.

    Hello

    change the IP will not affect the certificate of the ACS, or join the domain,
    in the worst scenarios, where you face the problem of having to return to the field "can be secondary domain question or problem to clock" you can simply remove the entry of the machine on the side of the field and re - join the domain "I hope that you won't have to do", but even if you need it won't take more than a few minutes.

    see you soon,

  • script to change the data type of column

    Hi gurus of the oracle.

    I have 190 tables in my database.

    I have the column type CHAR of all these tables data.

    I need to change the data type of CHAR in VARCHAR2 for all these tables...

    There the script to change the data type of all tables at once?

    Please help me in this regard.

    Thanks in advance

    REDA

    Hello

    There is nothing built-in to Oracle SQL to do.  Maybe your front-end has certain characteristics.

    You can write dynamic SQL statements to do.  In other words, you can write a query that the output is a SQL script like this:

    ALTER TABLE TABLE_A CHANGE (A_TXT1 VARCHAR2 (5))

    A_TXT2 VARCHAR2 (10));

    ALTER TABLE TABLE_B CHANGE (B_TXT1 VARCHAR2 (5));

    with one row for each column of type CHAR.  Notice how the first line of output for each table begins with ALTER TABLE... but the later lines at the same table.  Similarly, the last line of a table (which will be the same as the first row, if the table has only one column of type CHAR) to end with a semicolon, but other lines are not.

    Here's a way to generate and execute such a dynamic script in SQL * more:

    -Disable the features that make the output easy to read, but hinder the execution
    SET FEEDBACK OFF
    SET LINESIZE 500
    SET PAGESIZE 0

    -Create fix_char.sql
    COIL c:\some_pathename\fix_char.sql

    SELECT THE CHECK BOX
    WHEN ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY table_name
    ORDER BY column_name
    )  = 1
    THEN 'ALTER TABLE ' | table-name
    || "CHANGE (").
    ELSE «»
    END
    ||        column_name
    ||        "VARCHAR2 (').
    ||        DATA_LENGTH
    ||        ')'
    ||        CASE
    WHEN ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY table_name
    ORDER BY column_name DESC
    )  = 1
    THEN '); "
    Output END AS
    Of user_tab_columns
    WHERE data_type = "CHAR".
    ORDER BY table_name
    column_name
    ;

    SPOOL OFF

    -Turn on the features that make the output easy to read, but hinder the execution
    SET FEEDBACK ON
    SET LINESIZE 80
    SET PAGESIZE 50

    -Fix_char.sql performance
    @c:\some_pathname\fix_char

    It's good to change all the CHARIOT of VARCHAR2 columns.  The CHAR data type is nothing trouble.

  • Cannot change the IP address of the VM, error that says: this card address is already assigned to another adapter...

    I used VMware vCenter Converter Standalone client to migrate an existing to vSphere 5.5.0 server. It works quite well as a virtual machine, but I'm still in the testing phase. I wanted to put this virtual machine on the network, so I changed the IP address, so it would not conflict with the dell still currently running on the network server. I want to now change the IP address to what it was originally, but I get an error indicating that this address is already assigned to a hidden card. I have the option to accept the change, but I don't know what effect this will have with the network. I need to change the return address to the original static address or some applications will not be able to find the server correctly. Is this ok to restore? The name of the device adapters listed in the folder network cards is VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter, not the server vSphere Broadcome NetXtreme II adapter. I have attached the reference error message window. This a virtual machine in Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1.

    Thank you
