  The script above did not work. This script must run on VMs specified in a cluster that is mentioned.

  As long as vmhgfs is not installed in your virtual machines during the installation of the tools in 5.0, copy and paste between virtual machines is not enabled by default

• Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

  We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:

  all stores of data seen by a cluster

  the virtual machines on the data store

  the host of the virtual machine is on

  the cluster the host is in

  The output I want is

  name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster

  any help would be appreciated

  Pretty sure this will do what you need:

  $report = @()
  Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
      $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore
      foreach($datastore in $datastores){
      $vms = $datastore | Get-VM
      If ($vms.count -ge 1){
          foreach($VM in $vms){
          $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                Datastore = $datastore.Name
                VM = $VM.Name
                HostName = $VM.VMhost
                Cluster = $cluster
              }
          $report += $object
          }
  
      }
      }
  }
  $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use

  $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}
  

  Hope this helps

• New to vCO. Trying to figure out which cluster a virtual machine lives in

  Hello.

  
  

  I created a simple 'Hello' workflow VM in vCO and added to vcenter so that it appears in the right click menu of a virtual machine.

  
  

  When I run it, the entrance is pre-populated with the name of the virtual machine just as I expected.

  
  

  In the Scripting section, I am just running

  
  

  System.log ('Hello', + vm.displayName);

  System.log (' VM ID: "+ vm.id");

  I'm trying to figure out how I can get the cluster who lives this virtual machine, but the property is not part of the VC:VirtualMachine.

  I have to take advantage of another type of entry to obtain data or another workflow to get this information?

  Thank you.

  My bad. I didn't know this when I tried first.

• Cluster VI3 and vSphere Cluster (migrate virtual machines)

  I have a VI3 and vSphere cluster.  Could I just drag-and - drop my virtual machines to the new Cluster or do I have to upgrade the virtual machines ' hardware of the v4 to v7?

  Thanks in advance

  1. you don't have to upgrade the virtual machine hardware, it is optional.

  2. you do not have to create new cluster, simply upgrade existing by-host. Virtual machines with hardware v4 can be VMotion'ed between 3.5 and 4.0 hosts

• Need help to report on the configurations of the virtual machine using PowerCLI

  Hi guys,.

  I try to shoot down vCenter virtual computer configuration details and am not having much luck with vCPU multicore machines.

  Looking at the lists of VMS in vSphere Client, it offers a column "Number of CPU" basis and does not include any other granularity (i.e. in terms of casings & carrots as opposed to simply 'CPU Count').

  I thought that maybe I have better luck using PowerCLI and essentially, the cmdlet "Get - VM" has the kind of information I'm looking for, but I find that it lacks a bit when it comes to vCPU details.  Essentially, it turns out that does not do much better than the list of virtual machines in vSphere Client because it produces only a "CPU Num" value, which is not particularly useful.

  For example, if "processors Num" 4, that '4' means?  This could mean one of the following:

  • 1 x 4 drivers
    
  • Core 2 x 2
    
  • Basic 4 x 1
    

  I hope someone out there can help produce me a list of virtual machines with details of configuration that includes both sockets & carrots for vCPU?

  Thanks in advance!

  Try like this

  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="CPU";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.hardware.numCPU/$_.ExtensionData.Config.hardware.numCoresPerSocket}}, @{N="Core per CPU";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.hardware.numCoresPerSocket}}
  

• Need of dynamic updates on the State of the virtual machine's vMA right for me?

  Hello

  First of all, I want to say vSphere is incredible.

  Second, my goal is the following: to get updates in real time on the CPU usage, disk i/o, and memory on a per-VM basis, not only for an overall ESX Server.  I will send this information to another machine (possibly a virtual computer on the same ESX Server, but not necessarily).

  Is the right tool for me vMA?

  vMA is just a management appliance that manages the vSphere SDK for Perl (which are Perl bindings to the vSphere API)

  I think what you're looking for is what SDK/API you can get this information, it would be the vSphere SDK and the language of choice is to you on if you want to create PowerCLI, vbscript, Perl, .NET, c#, etc. application to monitor and query for this information.

  Take a look at this document to help you get started on the SDK/API: Getting Started with vSphere SDK - Update for SDK 4.1 release

  Also concerning performance monitoring with the vSphere API, take a look at: and on the right there is more literature vSphere API performance analysis

  I need to get out information to a csv file and run this report on a monthly basis... can you help me?

• Get use of the resources of all virtual machines in a cluster

  Hello

  I have developed a measure of capacity management report that collects all the use of the resources of the virtual machines in a datacenter. The function that collects it looks like this:

  def hostMemoryConsumed =]

  def memoryConsumed = 0.0f

  def memoryGranted = 0.0f

  VMs. each() {}

  VM->

  try {}

  memoryConsumed += vm.host.memory.consumed.current.average / 1024.0f<----- how="" to="" do="" this="" to="" get="" from="">

  memoryGranted += vm.host.memory.capacity.current.average / 1024.0f

  }

  {} catch (NullPointerException e)

  }

  VMS is a function of type parameter VMS VMW

  The works above for virtual machines in the data center, but I need it to be after cluster. I can find a cluster of virtual machines, but I'm having trouble with referring to specific values for example consumed memory and capacity.

  If I change the type parameter: VMW Cluster how the metric reference would look like (see the try {})?

  I don't think that a query will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  Erik Alm

  If you want to do for a cluster, you can just get the list of virtual machines in a cluster of first and passing in your script.  If you have a function for a VMWCluster you can add a parameter for "vmwCluster" that is underneath and it should give you a table (topologyObjects) that has all the virtual machines in the cluster.

  QS = server.get ("QueryService") / / query Service

  tquery = qs.createStatement("!) (' VMWVirtualMachine where esxServer.parent.name = "+" ' "+ vmwCluster +" "" ") .setQueryTopologyObjects (true);

  topologyObjects = qs.executeStatement (tquery) .getTopologyObjects)

• Can I build a HA cluster with no heartbeat of the virtual machine?

  
  Hello

  I have some virtual firewall on two ESX hosts.

  The firewall running Unix and is not (for the moment) possible for me to install vmware tools.

  Is it possible to create an HA cluster where virtual machines are booted up on another host in the case of a failure of the host?

  Best regards

  Martin

  VMware Tools are only needed if you want to use the control of Virtual Machine in addition to the default host of HA monitoring. For host analysis only (i.e. the computer restarts virtual in the event of a host failure) there is no requirement for VMware Tools.
