Need help to change a creation of VM PowerCLI script to support host ESXi and vCenter

I have the below script that I created with much help from LucD - thank you! This has served me well for my lab procedures rip - replace so far. This script works when I run it against my single ESXi host when it is not connected to my server vCenter, but it throws errors when I run this script when the host is connected to vCenter and it fails to implement the controller SCSI Paravirtual. I think when the host is under the control of vCenter that changed some of the settings.

If I point to the vCenter instead of ESXi host, I still get the same problem. In addition, I would also add the ability to create virtual machines in pools of different resources of a cluster of vSphere. My name in data center's LAB and my Cluster is called Local with pools of resources like TestLab, etc. see Horizon.

Ideas please!

  • Change the view hosts ESXi and Vcenter Ip addresses

    Hello

    Because of our new zoning, we need to change the IP addresses of all our guests view ESXi as well as our vCenter server View.  Is it still possible without altering the DB ADAM that uses the view?

    Thank you

    Mooge

    If your ESX hosts are added to vCenter by host name and your vCenter are added to the view by hostname that you should be able to make this change without affecting the view.

    If your vCenter is added by IP, then you will have problems.

    If your ESX hosts are added by the intellectual property so that you can use maintenance mode to migrate all the virtual machines on each host, remove from the inventory, then add it to the cluster using the new IP or host name. View should have no problem with what we don't reference the hosts by their host names in any sort of statically.

  • need help to change my macbook pro hdd

    Hello. need help to change my macbook pro 13 "mid 2012 hdd. witch HDD I buy 1 TB 7200 RPM 2.5 witch should I choose sata2? or sata3? If you know any suggestions, it would be really appreciated. And when I add the new hard disk can you restore with lion at el capitan?

    Thanks for the help.

    A 2012 MBP has SATA 3 connectivity.

    If you want to install a new HARD drive, the best approach is to clone the new from the old HARD drive.  It will duplicate the original HARD drive which has likely El Capitan installed.  I suggest to use Carbon Copy Cloner to the process.  It is not free, but worth it because you can use it to create a backup disc drag.

    Here's the Setup instructions for your MBP:

  • I need help to change my settings

    My local library has given some of their old computers because they have upgraded and got new. I was lucky enough to get one of these free computers and it works fine. However, I need help to change its settings. The computer will save not things once I turn it off. I guess that one who originally put the computer settings in place did not want the personal files of the user to be saved because the computer was for public use. Whenever I tried to turn off the computer or restart everything I've saved, changed, and/or downloaded is deleted and it goes back to how it was when I got it. How can I change the settings so that I can record things even when I turn it off? By the way the computer is an HP 75 PC with Microsoft Windows Professional Version 2002 - SP2

    The library may be installed as Windows SteadyState software that cancels the changes that make users.  If it is your computer, you can discover how to uninstall in the Windows SteadyState forum.

    If possible, I would recommend formatting the computer's hard drive, reinstall Windows from scratch and installing all the Windows updates available.  It is the only way to ensure that your computer is clean and not infected.

    Your first screenshot shows the layer style dialog where not all types of effects are indicated on the left. Bottom left of the dialog box, you see a small icon fx with a menu arrow drop-down. Use drop down the menu and make sure all you click on show all effects or restore the default list. I don't know what you're trying the shoe on the second screen capture.

    Hello

    With a lot of intelligence are already integrated into state transitions, when for example the transition fading knows when to fade in or fade out, get your components placed in the States you want is all that is necessary.

    This is a simple example, but as you can see there is almost no code involved...

  • Need help solving any internet connection. This happened to me several months ago and the supplier

    Need help solving any internet connection. This just started today, but it's happened to me several months ago and at that time the provider thought it was software related and suggested that I have to contact HP. I have a HP 2006 m7674n, Windows XP. For several days, I worked with HardBeatZ on a different issue that has been resolved today. However, for several days, I had been working msconfig to track down the cause of the problem; This resulted in several reboots the computer - this would have something to do with it? Also, I just started getting a RUNAS box popping up. HardBeatZ has provided a link to a possible solution to this, but since I can't do internet connection I can't get the fix. Right now I'm on a laptop with Wi - Fi for the same service internet/modem as my PC. I changed nothing onmy PC in the last days of several for the internet connection or services.  I always use eithernet connection from the router to the computer. I tried Wi - Fi today with my PC but not connect. I tried to unplug the router and reconnect but it does not solve the problem. I did a Network Diagnostic and printed the report; Here are the warnings and error messages in this report:

    1. under the terms of the bridge diagnosis; Warning: "www.microsoft.comcould hostname not be resolved (0x2afc error code). Could be the gateway or DNS problem.

    2. under diagnosis of layer IP; Corrupted IP routing table. Default route, road closures, route host itinerary local subnet and local are all valid; Invalid entries in the ARP cache. ACTION: the ARP cache has been emptied. »

    3. UNDER HTTP, HTTPS, FTP Diagnostic; all three had this warning: ' 12007 connection error at www.microsoft.com: the server name or address cannot be resolved. " and the error was unable to establish a connection.

    Still under network adapter diagnosis; It shows the connection status of network as "connected."

    Also, I have an older computer that I connected with eithernet and was able to connect to the internet but has been disconnected because the version of Windows is too old to support the connection. But I could briefly connecting on HP website before you log out. The point being I think it's a computer problem and not an internet router or provider problem.

    I read a few entries on this site and it seemed that the recovery of the system was the only solution. I hope that there are other things to try before I resort to that.

    I would appreciate any advice on the steps to diagnose the problem and insight as to what may have caused this to happen. Thank you. dt2012

    Sorry... still with you... OK, we know that your network card is good and we know that your first post;

    1. under the terms of the bridge diagnosis; Warning: 'host www.microsoft.com name could not be resolved (0x2afc error code). Could be the gateway or DNS problem.

    2. under diagnosis of layer IP; Corrupted IP routing table. Default route, road closures, route host itinerary local subnet and local are all valid; Invalid entries in the ARP cache. ACTION: the ARP cache has been emptied. »

    3. UNDER HTTP, HTTPS, FTP Diagnostic; all three had this warning: "error 12007 connecting to www.microsoft.com: the server name or address cannot be resolved." and the error was unable to establish a connection.

    4. still under network adapter diagnosis; It shows the connection status of network as "connected."

    For me, it seems that Internet Explorer is corrupted or damaged. Your computer is shipped with Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 Media Center Edition 2005 but since you can have updated to XP SP3 or upgraded to a newer version of Internet Explorer. Please try the options listed in this document to Microsoft titled "how to reinstall or repair Internet Explorer" , since there are several options depending on your system configuration, please post if you need help to solve your problem.

  • With the help of ESXi and vCenter

    Hi all, I have some doubts on the use of ESXi and Virtual Center.

    Recently, we have set up 2 servers ESX with Virtual Center, all allowed in the Standard edition to have an available shared storage and HA.

    Our idea is to set up a new server with ESXi installed for testing purposes.

    Is possible to manage this server ESXi with our real VirtualCenter or we need a license? This particular server does NOT use shared storage or HA.

    Thanks for your help!

    Kind regards

    Diego

    Yes, you need a license for ESXi manage VirtualCenter. You can purchase the license to the Foundation. Please see the license attached (on page 3)

  • Change the PowerCLI Script to use the DRS and DRS storage

    Hello

    I have a PowerCLI script that specifies a host and a data store to create a new virtual machine, which has served us well. Now we have activated the DRS and DRS storage and I wonder what to change in order to take advantage of these features. Are there commands to specify a cluster and the cluster data store and let the DRS to decide the initial investment for a new virtual machine? At the moment we put all hosts and the warehouses of data as variables and use them in the line below.

    Thank you.

    $newVM = New-VM-name $NewVMname - VM $TemplateName Datastore - $datastore - VMHost $vHost - confirm: $false - location $myName

    You set a Datastorecluster?

    If Yes, then you can replace the value of parameter data with the datastorecluster object store.

    Replacing a VMHost with a cluster is not taken in charge I'm afraid.

    But you can use something like this

    New-VM-name TestVM Datastore - DSC - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster-name mycluster |) Get - Resourcepool - name of resources)

    This will automatically select the VMHost.

    The virtual machine appears in the root of the cluster.

    DSC is the name of a datastorecluster in the cluster mycluster

  • Need help to change the background and more

    Hey everybody! This is my first post on this forum so excuse me if its not very good.

    Now, at school, we experience a realization project and I and my group want to impress the teacher really a lot of movies. We decided that our film will be defined on a boat on the way to the sink, and before it sinks you get to know the different families/people on the boat and how all this turns out to these families when the boat begins to sink. But the problem is that we don't have a boat. But I have after effects, and a normal size sheet that is completely blue, which can be used as a blue screen!

    I know how to chroma key easily, but some scenes are in need of a big blue screen we have
    So I spent a few hours now looking for a tutorial on how maybe change the background without anything like a blue screen , but I can't seem to find a good tutorial that helps me with what I want help with.

    E.g. one of our scenes are cars climbing on the boat and the blue screen is not big enough to cover the entire car and the Earth under our car is gravel, and I can't have that. So is there anyone here who knows a few videos on the internet that could help me, or a kind soul who could write me a text tutorial on how to do this?
    / Friendly, Axel.
    (btw I'm Swedish so excuse for bad spelling/grammar)

    There are many times when a green screen is not wide enough to cover all the material. You end up using a combination of green screen and Rotoscoping. In your car drive you to the boat example would position the blue screen before the blue screen was behind the windows of the car because that would be the most difficult parts of the car for Rotoscoping in hand. It would be easy enough to rotoscope the wheels and underside of the car.

    Take a look at this video from Lynda.com - a really great source after effects training. It will show you how the various masks are used to clean up a green screen when it does cover the whole.

    There was a lot of publicity for Singapore Airlines called Across the World who had an actress works continuously with a shot that she moved seamlessly from San Francisco to Paris to Venice and across transitions, she walked in front of a green screen that was just big enough to cover here head and shoulders because it is very difficult to rotoscoping hair and hands when they move. I took a quick glance for the behind the scenes video that was produced when they initially released the commercial but couldn't find the exact. If you look closely in this video, you will see people moving green screens around as she walks.

    This technique is still used on hit movies. Note here the green screen that does not hide the bottom of everything, just the parts that would be very difficult if not impossible to Rotoscoping.
