• Getting name of VMhost who questioned when retrieving information about the NFS data stores

  Sorry if the question has already been asked,

  I try to present NFS shares in each ESXi host and that does the trick

  Get-datastore. where type - eq 'NFS ' | Select name

  However, I want to retrieve the name of the host from which the information is retrieved.

  Unfortunately I do not see the name of the $vmhost among the names when I use get-datastore. get-member.

  How I do that?

  Thank you

  Alex

  Try something like this

  foreach($esx in Get-VMHost){    Get-Datastore -RelatedObject $esx |     Where type -eq "NFS" |     Select Name,        @{N="VMHost";E={$esx.Name}},        @{N="Host";E={$_.Extensiondata.Info.Nas.RemoteHost}},         @{N="Mount point";E {$_.Extensiondata.Info.Nas.RemotePath}}}
  

  A way to see what are the properties on an object is like this

  $ds = Get-Datastore -Name DS1$ds.ExtensionData | Format-Custom -Depth 3
  

• When you try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 I get this error: "Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer."

  original title: problems of Windows update/upgrade

  I'm currently trying to install Windows 7 on my desktop running Vista.

  Whenever I run the Setup it comes up with the following error: Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer.
  I already put the virtual disk on auto and rebooted several times. I get the same error.
  Also, I tried to update my computer by using the windows update thinking that would help... Windows update decides to not work either! It comes up with the error: Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running. You may have to restart your computer.
  gain, I restarted and it still does not work.
  I am currently running Windows Vista 32 bit on my desk (I thank God for my laptop!).

  Help!

  Try installing Windows 7 from XP and keep having this error message before choosing my instalation method, Windows not able to retrieve information about the disks on this computer.

  Because the migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 requires a clean install anyway, might as well you are backing up your important files and settings using Windows Easy Transfer and do a custom clean install by booting from the Windows 7 DVD.

  It's a little late for this, but anytime you do an upgrade, you must be sure that your computer is compatible. My guess is your drive for windows 7 is a DVD and you have a CD or a witch of CD - RW drive can not read CD

• How to retrieve information about the network (NIC) for each computer virtual (vim, perl)

  Hello

  I have this simple code to retrieve the name of the VirtualMachines in my infrastructure (filtered for data center)

  [.. .other code...]

  	use VMware::VILib;
  	OPTS::add_options (%OPTS);
  	OPTS::parse();
  	OPTS::Validate();
  	Util::Connect();

  My $datacenter = $DCFILTER;

  My $clusterFilter = $CLFILTER;

  My $datacenter_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = > 'Data center', filter = > {name = > $datacenter});

  my @values = split (/ \ | /, $clusterFilter);

  foreach my {$val (@values)

  My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type = > 'ClusterComputeResource', filter = > {name = > qr / $val /});

  My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type = > 'VirtualMachine', begin_entity = > $cluster_view);

  {foreach (@$vm_views)}

  		Print $_-> name. "\n";
  		$vm = $_-> name;

  }

  }

  Util::Disconnect();

  This code runs, but now I need to recover some information about each virtual computer network, specifically:

  (1) the labels of each card network to NETWORK interface (for each virtual computer)

  (2) the adapter Type (optional)

  (3) the device status: connected to the power (yes/no) (option).

  I have seen that there are being managed - network, property of the VirtualMachine managed - object, but I don't know how to use it in my code and if contains the information I need (maybe "Summary")

  Example here is one:

  

  in this case, I would like to know for this virtual machine

  (1) LANBACKUP...; dvPP_LABO...; dvp_LABO...

  and if it is possible information 2) and 3) for each NIC... in this case for NIC LANBAKUP...

  Flexible 2)

  (3) connected to the power supply: Yes

  Can you help me to integrate my code to retrieve the information above?

  Thank you very much, for your help.

  I realized prior extraction DVS elements:

  My $dv_switches = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'DistributedVirtualSwitch', properties-online ['name', 'uuid']);

  Then, you can search by UUID:

  ($this_dvs) = grep {$_-> eq {'uuid'} $the_uuid} @$dv_switches;

  This will give you the best performance as well, since you don't have to hit the API for each request (just the first effective request DVS).  You can add additional DVSwitch object data if you need it in your logic.

• How to retrieve information about the product of two sites.

  Activate loggingDebug for/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductLookup in dyn/admin component browser and you can get more information about what might happen. If everything else is fine, cause most likely failure here could be that the product you want to search for is not for the current catalog. You can validate this by adding the parameter open wrongCatalog to your ProductLookup.

  If this is the case of the catalog wrong then you need explicitly setting catalog also gout ProductLookup. Note that this parameter to the ProductLookup of droplets must be of the type of repository, so you have to resolve in the first catalogue through the post-search and then move the element output as the value to the parameter catalog catalog. It would be something like this:

  
    
    
    
      catalog is....
  
      
        
        
        <%-- OR  --%>
        
        
          
          
        
        
          WRONG CATALOG!!!

• Firefox uninstalled, reinstalled, but the profile is missing, can I retrieve information about the use of Sync?

  Looking at the previous subjects of support, I know there is little hope (I write from another computer). Someone else uninstalled Firefox on my PC, probably by using Control Panel. I don't know if they chose to keep the user profile. Then, I don't know the left behind, started Firefox profile from an external drive. Then, I installed Firefox on my computer again. Between the two steps above, I made a backup of my profile (not sure if it is from the external drive or there all along after uninstalling) but after reinstalling Firefox and the movement of the backup, it turns out it's the profile by default since nothing had changed. I did a sync once, with the computer, I am currently, but I updated this PC and I had to reinstall and do not synchronize since then. So currently, none of the info is being synchronized, and I am not connected both sides (whenever I browse the synchronization Panel, he asks me to associate a device and it isn't my goal). I also don't have my key to recovery because I intend only to synchronize once. And change and wiping the servers are besides the point. Tell me, this is a lost cause?
  Also, how long are sync data stored on the servers of Mozilla (in the pathetic hope they will change their policy in the future)?

  The strange thing is that the backup and my default folder have the same names even before the restoration, except that they have different things inside. I think it is unnecessary to pursue the matter more since today, I tried to power on my old computer and basically it died on me. Sorry to be so confused and then ending without solution.

• Retrieve information about the hard files

  Hi all

  I'm looking for a way to display file of hard information, such as the last modified date and size of the file.

  I already have a list of VMDK in the format according to [datastorename]\vmfolder\vm.vmdk

  Is it possible, using cli power, to get information by feeding in the vmdk path in this format? In the end, seek to feed in a list of paths vmdk.

  Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance!

  This will work. It is not the fastest method, but it works with the data store provider PowerCLI.

  An alternative would be to use the browser to store data and the SearchDatastoreSubFolders method.

  But it's a little more cumbersome to use.

  See my post to remove the old virtual machine monitor dump files for an example.

  Hi Sarang_982,

  ·         When exactly you get the error message you at startup of the computer or when you open any application or when you try to run chkdsk on his machine?

  I suggest that you put your computer in a clean boot state, and perform the steps below.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  You will need to disable automatic disk check, and then run the disk of the WINRE (Windows Recovery Environment) command prompt check and check if the c: drive error (there) get fixed.

  You try to run the audit from WINRE for drive C: disk drive and if it helps. Here are the steps to open the command prompt in Windows RE:

  Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer and restart your computer by using the power button on the computer.

  b. do one of the following:

  1. If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you must try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  2. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.

  c. on the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select repair your computer and press ENTER. (If your computer is not listed as an option, then your computer doesn't understand no repair preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has disabled the.)

  d. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.

  e. in the System Recovery Options menu, click command prompt to open.

  f. Type "chkdsk/f" and enter.

  g. Type "chkdsk/r" entry.

  Check if the HARD drive is encrypted or not if yes then decrypt and see if it works well or not.

  I have Windows XP x 64 installed on my Maxtor Sata II 250 GB HD, and when I boot the DVD in the restart of the operating system, after clicking Install now, it shows this error. How can I solve this problem?

  1. click on start / run and type SERVICES. MSC
  2. search for the virtual disk Service
  3. right click and choose 'properties '.
  4. make sure that the Startup Type is automatic, and then click the Start button.

  This means that the hard drive of your HP system controller is not supported by Windows 7 with pilots from the box and you need specific drivers to install Windows 7 on it.  If HP does not have drivers on their website then you're probably not going to succeed.

• I need my files to open in the monitor # 2 I usually have some important information about the number of monitor 1. I need the files to alternate when they are open. One in 2, then one 1.

  I need my files to open in the monitor # 2 I usually have some important information about the number of monitor 1. I need the files to alternate when they are open. One in 2, then one 1.

  Kind regards

  How it works is usually the application (explorer.exe is an application) in question is open about everything that monitor his last (final) session was closed the.  Not all applications have this built-in memory, but most do.

  I don't think that even something TO manage multiple monitors (this is what it was built for) will do what you are wanting.  ;-)  I see no way of programming of this type of automation.  ;-)
