• I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

  Hi gurrus and LucD

  I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

  The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.

  Concerning

  Nauman

  Try like this

  $report = @)

  {foreach ($cluster Get-cluster)

  foreach ($rp in Get-ResourcePool-location $cluster) {}

  foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location the $rp |)) Where {Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $_______ | where {$_.}} Type - eq "e1000"}})) {}

  $report += $vm. Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. Name}},

  @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. Uid.Split('@') [1]. "Split(':') [0]}},"

  @{N = "Cluster"; E = {$cluster. Name}},

  @{N = "ResourcePool"; E = {$rp. Name}}

  }

  }

  }

• Get the list of virtual machines, storage of data and VMDK / path by cluster

  Hi people,

  as I m new to such things, I m wondering if someone already has a few scripts work to gather a list of all virtual machines, its corresponding data store (s) and the path to the files VMDK (or at least the name of it) - I know that this part has already been resolved - found a couple of them ;-)

  But my problem is, I need this script drilled down by Cluster Edition or Datacenter Edition. As I said I m completely new for this CLI stuff and Don t have any idea how to solve this problem...

  See you soon

  Markus

  Luke, you are right. I should have tested.

  There is a downside to the ForEach command that I almost never use. Normally I use the Foreach-Object cmdlet and that works very well with pipeing the output to Export-CSV.

  Markus, you must use option 2 in this case.

• List of virtual machines in the data store that is not in stock

  Hi guys

  PowerCLI rookie here, sorry for the stupid questions.

  I'm trying to clean up a bunch of singehost with local data warehouses. So I need a script that can display a list of files of virtual machine on a data store that is not used by VMs in the inventory. One of the problems is that the files on the data store, isn't every means, named exactly the same as the virtual machine in the inventory.

  Summer watching this, but I think the term "orphan" is "sent, in my view, it is:

  https://communities.VMware.com/thread/266913

  Also it is - this one, I think that I should be able to change it to do what I want:

  http://www.wooditwork.com/2011/08/11/adding-VMX-files-to-vCenter-inventory-with-PowerCLI-gets-even-easier/

  Any tips or hints to push me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  Please try:

  $AllFilesLocalDatastore = get-data store 'localdatastorename ' | Get-fileindatastore

  $FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs = get-FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs

  #The two functions above are available here http://thecrazyconsultant.com/find-orphaned-vmdk-files-workflow/

  Check the contents of the two variables for example with VGO or export-csv

  $AllFilesInESX01LocalDatastore | OGV

  Try:

  $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM = $AllFilesLocalDatastore | {foreach-object

  $FullPath = $_. FullPath

  If ($FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs.FileName - notcontains $FullPath) {}

  Return $_

  }

  }

  $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM | OGV

  #The over a will contain all the files that are not identified as associated with any virtual computer

  $ProbablyOrphanedFiles = $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM | where {$_.} FileTypeFullName-match "VMware.Vim.Vm *"-GOLD ($_.) FileTypeFullName - eq "VMware.Vim.FileInfo" - AND ($_.) FullPath-match ".vmsd" - or $_. FullPath-match ".vmxf" - or $_. FullPath-match "aux.xml" - or $_. FullPath-match ".vswp" - GOLD ($_.) FullPath-match "hard" - AND $_.

  $ProbablyOrphanedFiles | OGV

  Edit:

  Changed the name of the data store, it seems that he was not supposed to be in the first screenshot.

• List virtual machines and their data warehouses

  I took a dagger to the list of all virtual machines in my VC with data warehouses where their VMDK:

  $report = @)

  $allvms = Get-VM

  {foreach ($vm to $allvms)

  $row = "" | Select VMNAME, DATASTORE

  $row. VMNAME = $vm.name

  {color: #ff0000} $row. DATA store = (Get - VM | get-data store)

  $report += $row

  }

  $report | Export-Csv "C:\vm_ds.csv" -NoTypeInformation

  No luck. I know that the problem is with the cndlet of get-data store, the file indicates the VMNAME column filled with virtual machines, as expected, but the column of report DATA store System.Object [].

  Any help would be appreciated.

  You are already in a loop through all the guests (the loop foreach in line 3), there is no need to get all customers with the cmdlet Get - VM (again) in the 6th line.

  You can just pass (i $vm) invites him to the cmdlet Get-data store on line

  System.Object [] entry in the CSV file is caused by the fact that the Export-CSV cmdlet does not know how to handle objects or arrays of objects.

  One solution is to loop through all the data store names that are returned.

  And keep the data store name in the property of the DATA store.

  The result is that there will be several rows in the CSV file to people with more than 1 data store.

  $report = @()
  
  $allvms = Get-VM
  foreach ($vm in $allvms) {
       $dstores = $vm | Get-Datastore
       foreach($ds in $dstores){
            $row = "" | select VMNAME, DATASTORE
            $row.VMNAME = $vm.name
            $row.DATASTORE = $ds.Name
            $report += $row
       }
  }

• Script to list all windows machines

  Hello

  I'm not the best writer, so I'm looking for some advice on how to list all windows servers in a file/cluster. My goal is to exclude the update the vmtools on my linux servers in the specified folder and on the servers of windows I want to remove a reboot.

  So far, I have this

  Get-file "Updates" | get - vm | Update-tools - NoReboot

  So, what should I add to return only windows servers? Any help is greatly appreciated

  You can choose to update the VMware tools on Windows guests only in the folder updated with:

  Get-Folder "Updates" | Get-VM | Where-Object {$_.Guest.OSFullName -like "*Windows*"} | Update-Tools -NoReboot

• List of virtual machines in the data store but is not registered in the inventory

  I have a perl script that can list all the virtual machines in a datasore given by using the HostDatastoreBrowser object.

  However this only back vms who are registered. I want to be able to find images that have 'removed from the inventory' users but not destroyed on the data store.

  I even reach this may by using the HostDatastorBrowser? If this is not the case, how can I achieve my goal?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can, but you may need to put the data in a different format. It is actually more a matter of perl a matter of VI Toolkit.

  You must create the appropriate list, then use the PERL map function to evaluate an expr on the entire list. Personally I just use a foreach example statement.

• Match each data store its Lun ID and the list of virtual machines in each data store

  Hello

  Can anyone help? I'm looking to create a report that will show each Monday name and store data to data warehouses, the list virtual machines belonging to the storage of data and the name of the VCenter at the top of the report. I tried several combinations but was more difficult to get the Monday. Any help appreciated gratefully.

  Thank you

  If you use only LUNS is an easy way to get the canonical name:

  Get-datastore. {Select-Object Name,@{Name="CanonicalName"; expression = {$_.extensiondata.info.vmfs.extent.diskname}}

  I don't understand your requirement regarding the name vCenter, but for everything else

  Get-datastore. foreach {($MyDatastore = $_)} | Get - vm | Select-Object @{Name="Datastore";expression={$MyDatastore}},@{Name="CanonicalName";expression={$MyDatastore.extensiondata.info.vmfs.extent.diskname}},Name

• Virtual machines on NFS data warehouses freeze when snapshots are deleted

  I'm running 3 ESXi 4.1 update 1 guest (essentials more license) with shared storage on a NetApp FAS2040 accessible via NFS. 5.2 PHD virtual is deployed for backups. Each time the backup is completed on a virtual machine and the snapshot is removed, the virtual machine in question freezes completely (not yet responding to pings) for 10 to 30 seconds. The issue is documented in the following VMware article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1031106

  However, while the article claims that the problem has been resolved in a fix, I persist it despite running on the last level of patch (build 433742). Is that all that I should have done after installing the latest patch? If the issue is not yet fixed, is there one solution other than to switch to iSCSI?

  According to Ko, the patch is ESXi 4.1 patch ESXi410-201104402-BG contains vmware-tools. One thing to try is maybe upgrade your vmware tools in the virtual machine? (I don't know if you have upgraded)

• Get-stat - disk for virtual machines on NFS data warehouses

  Hi all

  Through work for VMs on NFS data warehouses get-stat-disc?

  $myVM | Get-stat - disc

  Doesn't seem to work for VMs on NFS data warehouses, but that works for VMs on VMFS data warehouses.

  After a presentation of VMware to http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:h78Db7LqHcwJ:www.slideshare.net/vmwarecarter/powercli-workshop+%2Bget-stat+%2Bnfs & cd = 2 & hl = in & ct = Europeans & gl = at the & source = www.google.com.au

  «WARNING: NFS performance statistics are not available (to come in a future version of vSphere).»

  When these statistics are available for NFS data storage?

  Kind regards

  marc0

  The answer is in the property of instance data that Get-Stat returns.

  (1) get-Stat ==> canonical name of the LUN on which disk the hard

  (2) get-Stat virtualdisk ==> The SCSI id of the virtual disk inside the VM

  (3) get-Stat data store ==> the name of the data store

  (1) you give statistics for view virtual machine i/o activity starting from the LUN. For a VM with several virtual disks on the same data store, this will display the total IO statistics. And it will also include i/o generated by another VM on the LUN as swap, Flash files related...

  (2) gives statistics for 1 specific virtual disk of your virtual machine

  (3) statistics of e/s of your VM to a specific data store. Interesting when you have a store of data with multiple extensions (multiple LUNS)

  I hope that clarifies it a bit.

• How to use SMotion to move a virtual machine on two data warehouses

  
  Hello, I have a virtual machine that has two VD (VD1 and VD2) and they are on different data (DS1 and DS2) warehouses.  The OS is on VD1 and VD1 on DS1.  Data on VD2 and VD2 is on DS2.

  Is it possible to use SMotion to pass just VD1 of DS1 to anthers datastore (DS3) but leave VD2 on DS2?

  I tried to move, but I don't see an option to move just a VD.

  Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

  I found the ADVANCED button on the section of storage of the migration wizard, see the screenshot below.  It allows you to individually select your locations of migration.

• How is it possible to clone a virtual machine cluster when data warehouses not presented in source and destination

  I did not know that on ESX 3.5, in order to afin de vivre live clone a virtual machine from one ESX host to another, source and destination stores had to be available. However, I'm currently cloning a virtual machine to a host in a datacenter and cluster to one host in a different data center, but the destination store is not available at the source host and visa versa.

  How is that possible?  This is a new feature of vSphere?

  That seems to work on the console port. See this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1475721#1475721

• Need a Script out how many virtual machines have snapshot

  Hi people,

  I'm looking for a script to get out how VMs in a VC have snapshot with Cluster information in CSV format. If possible snapshot size too

  Thank you

• The list of all virtual machines with more than 2 virtual disks

  Hello.

  I want to list all virtual machines in a data center vCenter, who got more than 2 virtual disks. Here's the workflow, I am working on that:

  1 get the view of data center

  2. get the Cluster Data Center view like the 'begine_entity '.

  3. for each view cluster overview the VirtualMachine bit cluster seen as 'begin_entity '.

  4. for each VM view, this information: VirtualMachine-> config-> hardware-> device of

  Above information is a table.

  I need help in order to extract information from this table disk, then run an if condition where the VM who got more than 2 discs should print.

  Could help you. I wrote the script to the point 4. just need advice for the posterior.

  Thank you.

  You can try one of the following values-

  1 If ($vm-> {'summary.config.numVirtualDisks'} > 2) {...}

  2 $diskCnt = grep {$_-> isa ('VirtualDisk')} @{$vm-> {'config.hardware.device'}};

  The above assumes that you've got your $vm with a filter property as follows:

  $vms = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine'), the properties-online ['summary.config.numVirtualDisks', 'name', 'config.hardware.device'];

  my $vm foreach (@{$vms}) {}

  ...

  }

• Is no vmdk file, but the script says, all virtual machines backed up Ok!

  Hello everyone;

  Please excuse any lack of details because this is the first time that I write. I've scoured internet for days now trying to find no matter how much detail that could help me solve the problem. I'm new in the world of script ESXi and ghettoVCB.

  My intention is to run several tasks on a schedule. Each type of backup (quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily and multiple) runs at a specific time. The planning section works very well.

  I'm hoping to solve this urgent backup, I should be able to solve reboot.

  Here is the command I use:

  /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB.sh w /tmp/ghettoVCB-work.multiple f/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmlist-Multiple g/vmfs/volumes/datastore1/vmconfig-DataSet1-multiple-l /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ghettoVCB_logs/ghettoVCB.Multiple_Backup.log

  vmconfig-DataSet1-multiple contains:

  # Multiple backups - rotation County 6

  #

  VM_BACKUP_VOLUME = / vmfs/volumes/Vault2-DataSet1/URANUS/Multiple

  DISK_BACKUP_FORMAT = thin

  VM_BACKUP_ROTATION_COUNT = 6

  POWER_VM_DOWN_BEFORE_BACKUP = 0

  ENABLE_HARD_POWER_OFF = 0

  ITER_TO_WAIT_SHUTDOWN = 4

  POWER_DOWN_TIMEOUT = 5

  SNAPSHOT_TIMEOUT = 15

  ENABLE_COMPRESSION = 0

  VM_SNAPSHOT_MEMORY = 0

  VM_SNAPSHOT_QUIESCE = 0

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP =

  Vmlist-multiple contains 1 server is listed:

  # List all virtual machines that are backed up several times a day

  HEAT

  The log indicates that the backup was successful - but it has not been the case. Backup size should be approximately 8 GB. However, when you look at the output folder, only the following files are here:

  
  

  HEAT.vmx

  STATUS.ok

  Question is now - where are the vmdk files that should be present?

  Output (-d debug) can be found here: http://pastebin.com/hMGphTL3

  So, here is what I observed:

  When you run the script, the snapshot only takes a few seconds to create and delete then. I'm seeing happens on the list of the tasks of vSphere Rencent (screenshot attached).

  If I create a snapshot manually - it will take much more time to create and delete a snapshot. The difference here is 6 minutes, and 4 seconds using the script create a snapshot manually.

  So my presumption is that he is not actually create the snapshot, although vSphere said it is being created. So why is it the case?

  Help, please.

  ADDENDUM:

  If I run the following:

  ./ghettoVCB.sh m HEAT

  The backup is successful.

  Your said he clearly did not config file to back up all files hard.

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP =

  I expect to see something like this if you want all the hard files

  VMDK_FILES_TO_BACKUP = "all".
