Notice-EEG - ViewType for data store

• Notice-EEG - ViewType VM list only the virtual computer in a data store

  All, it seems to be confused about something that should be easy.  I guess it stems from a lack of understanding of Get - view.

  I'm changing the script of v3 vCheck virtu-al.  In it, he uses the line below to obtain the views of the virtual machine.  I want only the views of the virtual machine in a specific data store.  I was able to change the rest of the code, but I'm stuck here.

  $FullVM = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine. Where {-not $_.} Config.Template}

  I tried: $FullVM = Get-Data Center & lt; Data CENTER & gt; Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine. Where {-not $_.} Config.Template} without success. Following error:

  Get-view: the input object cannot be bound to all the parameters of the command either because the command does not

  input pipeline or entry and its properties do not match any parameters that accept entries of pipeline.

• Better use of disk space on the server esxi (for data store)

  I have a HP Proliant DL380G6 which currently has 2 146 GB hard drives in a Raid0 configuration.  We quickly realize that this is not enough space for all of the virtual machine, we have running.

  Is there a way of 'clean' to add disks to this server - by this I want to say one where we don't have to add readers, and then reconfigure the raid5 raid card, and reinstall...

  And on a related issue (even if it may seem irrelevant):

  Some of our virtual machines are currently on a mounted NFS datastore that I want to spend in the local data store.  One of them has quite a few clichés that take up a lot of space.  What is the CORRECT way to migrate the virtual machine to the other local datastore, get rid of all snapshots (maintenance of the VM in its current state)?

  Believe it or not. . Just select Remove all.

  You are here is not a cliché. . It's your current state and not be deleted unless you select "go to" (note the different icon)

  (even if I understand your concern)

  If you are really nervous and wants to prove it to yourself, just test it on a virtual machine with no snapshots (create a snapshot, add a file, delete the snapshots and see if the files still exists)

• Names of directory data store

  Hello

  Sorry for the N00b question, but I can't find an answer anywhere.

  I noticed that on my data stores, there are often multiple directories for the same customer. For example, if there is a guest named 'foo', there will be a directory "foo". But sometimes there will also be a directory named "foo_1".

  Whence the _1, < name >?  That is generated?

  TIA,

  T

  with the _1 means that the virtual machine has generally more than 1 HDD presented to her.

  But, in your case, by referring to the names of directories _1, it probably means that there are names that are duplicated in the data store.  A folder will be created when you create the virtual machine. The folder represents the object name of VMs.

  So, if I have a virtual machine named VM1, on the data store must be a VM1 folder with all the files associated with this virtual machine (.vmx, hard, etc.)

  If I create another virtual machine called VM1 and the content of the store data don't have not removed correctly a previous virtual computer that may have been moved, destroyed, removed from inventory, etc., there will be a VM1_1 folder with the associated files.  Have your records _1 files inside of them?

  You can also look something like RVTools.  It will help you find virtual machines that can be stunned. Check the Tab Vsante

• Notice-EEG-filter problem

  Hello

  I wanted to ask if I'm doing something wrong here, or documentation is wrong for this filter.

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.VMware.PowerCLI.ug.doc_50%2FGUID-CE297107-09C8-49E0-827E-7978217911CC.html

  in the guide it is said:

  "

  1	Create a filter by the power status and the name of the client operating system of the virtual machines. $filter = @{"Runtime.PowerState" ="poweredOn"; "Config.GuestFullName" = "Windows XP"}
  2	A list of virtual machines by using the created filter and call the ShutdownGuest method for each virtual machine in the list. Get-View -ViewType "VirtualMachine" -Filter $filter | foreach{$_.ShutdownGuest()}

  The filter gets a list of virtual machines under tension whose names OS comments contain the string Windows XP . The cmdlet Get-view then initiates the stop for each operating system in the list.

  "
  I myself wrote similar filter, but I would like to see virtual machines which are windowsfamily AND are not therefore models:
  $filter=@{'Guest.GuestFamily'='windowsGuest «;» {Config.Template '=' False'}
  Notice-EEG - ViewType virtualmachine-filter $filter | Select name, @{n = "y"; e = {$_.}} Config.Template}},@{n='yyy';e={$_. Guest.GuestFamily}}
  According to helps them get-view
  "
  -Filter < Hashtable >
  Specify a hash of < name > - < value > pairs, where < name > is the value of the property to test, and < value > represents a pattern must match the property. If more than one pair is present, all models must match.
  "
  so I put 2 pairs, one for config.template and one for guest.guestfamily. TWO of them should be true to get the result according to the documentation, but when I run this I receive the result where and not 'and '.
  I receive entires:
  col1 col2 col3
  VM1 False
  False WindowsGuest VM2
  So why do I receive entries with guestFamily blan, for me it looks like it's ' if I find 1 property propert or 2nd "and not 1 Property AND 2nd property '.
  Can someone confirm this is how it works with and for pairs of gold, or if I do not correctly
  Thank you in advance!

  The Get-View Filter parameter works as described, but I'm sure that you hit a particular situation.

  I suspect that you have virtual machines that do not have the VMware tools running.

  A condition in the filter when the property is $null will always succeed it seems.

  If you replace the filter like this, you should see the accurate virtual machines.

  $filter=@{"Guest.guestState"="^Running";"Guest.GuestFamily"="windowsGuest";"Config.Template"=[string]$false}
  Get-View -ViewType "VirtualMachine" -Filter $filter | Sort-Object Name | Select Name,  @{N="Guest State";E={$_.Guest.GuestState}},  @{N="Family";E={$_.Guest.GuestFamily}},  @{N="Template";E={$_.Config.Template}}
  

  The additional condition will ensure that Guest.GuestFamily is present and has a value.

  Note, I don't think that this behavior of the filter is, in my opinion, should be done. If the filter meets a $null in one of the properties, it should return $false for this condition, no $true.

  There is room for improvement on the behaviour of the filter

• Accessibility of the data store

  I need determine if a given data store is accessed from ESX

  hosts.  I noticed that the MO data store has a property named

  accessible.  However, in my tests, even when I take the data store down

  (it was a test NFS data store and I just close the NFS host), the

  accessible property always return true.

  Does anyone know how to determine when / if a given data store is no longer accessible by an ESX host?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  Did you call UpdsateViewData after you turned off the NFS server?

  $ds = Get-Datastore  | Get-View
  ....
  # NFS server powered off
  $ds.UpdateViewData()
  ....
  

  Note that in PowerCLI 4.1, you have access to the MO via the ExtensionData property.

• Search by wildcard characters in the data store

  I'm trying to search with a wildcard in a PDO data store.

  This produces a result:

  Back EMF Date: time 2012-08-20: 14:16:04

  But that does not

  Return *.

  How can I use wildcards in a search for data store?

  I guess that all of the following conditions must create correct results

  Dim query: query set = store. CreateQuery
  
  query. ReturnType = "measure".
  
  query. Conditions.Add 'Measure', 'name', 'is', ' back. "
  
  store. Search (Query)

  store. GetElementList ("Action", "name = % rear", true)

  store. GetElementList ("Action", "name = back *", false)

  store. GetElementList ("Action", "name = back *")

  Please take into account the fact that the PDO does not support case-insensitive query.

  I assume you are using an AVL Puma. You may need to set a switch in advanced the PDO connection dialog box. 'Use as instead of GAME'.

  In the connection setting, it appears as

  YES

• SRM 5.8 requires me to burn the data store storage in both placeholders?

  Honestly, I'm having a nightmare of a time finding documentation on how all the pieces of 5.8 SRM relate to each other.  I try to use the VSphere vs array based replication and I deployed on two sites and "twinned" replication servers, but nothing more.

  So I'm at the point where I have to "Configure Placeholder Datastore", which States:

  You specify a placeholder for data store Site Recovery Manager use to back up virtual machines placeholder on the recovering site.

  You must configure a data store space on the two sites of the pair to establish a bidirectional protection and restore.

  Well I don't see where I could specify that if I do two-way or reprotect, however, when I go to configure the placeholder data store it lists only data warehouses that are connected to my SOURCE site.  If am only go simple failover to my protect site dealing so how do I enter my site protect data above warehouses?

  You can specify the inventory maps and data warehousing space reserved for both sites, but you must first select the desired site.

  Hope this helps,

• create a directory on a data store...

  Does anyone have a code example on how to use the datastoreNamespaceManager API to create a directory on a data store?

  use strict;

  use warnings;

  use VMware::VIRuntime;

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  my ($sc $datastoreNS, $ds, $path, $supported);

  $sc = Vim::get_service_content();

  $ds = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "Datastore", filter-online {'name'-online 'ds-nfs-01'});

  $datastoreNS = Vim::get_view (mo_ref-online $sc-> datastoreNamespaceManager);

  $supported = $ds-> {'capability'}-> {'topLevelDirectoryCreateSupported'};

  Die "datastoreNamespaceManager only is not supported on this data store (topLevelDirectoryCreateSupported = 1) if '$supported;

  $path = $datastoreNS-> CreateDirectory (datastore-online $ds, displayName => "TestDir /");

  Print "new directory created: $path\n";

  But keep in mind this is only for data stores that DO NOT support the capabilities of topLevelDirectoryCreateSupported (Centre of Documentation of vSphere 5.5 )

  You will need to use the file manager in the case:

  use strict;

  use warnings;

  use VMware::VIRuntime;

  OPTS::parse();

  OPTS::Validate();

  Util::Connect();

  my ($sc $fm, $dc, $path);

  $sc = Vim::get_service_content();

  $fm = Vim::get_view (mo_ref-online $sc-> file manager);

  $dc = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online "Data center", filter-online {'name'-online 'DC01'});

  $path = "TestDir [ds-nfs-01]";

  $fm-> MakeDirectory (name-online $path data center => $dc, createParentDirectories-online 1);

  print 'Directory successfully created\n ";

• Change the name of a data store?

  Hello

  Is it possible to change the display name of a data store NFS I have 8 nodes in a cluster connected to?  This is for aesthetic reasons only - consistency of the naming convention.  Just curious, if I renamed the store of data for data store in vSphere VCenter, did change the display name for each host?  Or I have to change the display name to each host using the "hosts and Clusters".  Just curious to know if I can do that, while virtual machines are run with no negative effect... or should I stop literally all of the virtual machines to do this.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You can change the name of data warehouses (NFS, iSCSI, FC etc.) at any time and without any negative effects.

  Just right click, rename it to your heart's content!

• Data store for config files shared with esxi and free license

  Hello

  currently I am setting up a test environment with two esxi nodes that share a database on an EMC Clariion. Virtual disks itself will be shared by RDM, there is no problem.

  But if I change the configuration of a virtual machine to a physical computer (node A) the other (node B) still use the old configuration, node B does not notice the change applied to node A. What I am doing wrong? Is there a set up where node B will automatically refresh the virtual machine configuration after modification on node A?

  If I download the file vmx of navigation on the B node data store, I see the applied changes written to the file. So I guess it isn't a caching issue. The vmx file we re - read when turn on/off the virtual machine? Why isn't she re-read on the opening of the vm configuration dialog box?

  What is the recommended set for two guests free esxi who should be able to run virtual machines in the other machine? I don't think that of VMotion or HA! I just want if node A has a power outage on some VMs on the node B.

  Thank you!

  Good bye

  Daniel

  You must not register VMs on of two ESXi. Installing vCenter or register VMs on host-host these specific VMs will run on. If you need to move the VM to an another ESXi then delete the inventory on the single host and add to the inventory on the other.

• Need to create a structure for the target data store?

  Hi Experts,

  If I create a structure for the target data store, and then load the data from source to target works fine. If I make mistakes.

  I found the answer. No need to create the structure for target temporary data store. and we need to create the structure for the permanent target data store.

• ESXi 5.5 only 4 TB usable for the data store

  Hi all

  Although in vSphere Client 5,46 TB of capacity is visible, I can only use 3.64 TB to a data store.

  Configuration:

  -HP Proliant Microserver N40L

  -HP Smart Array P410/512 MB BBWC, FW 3.66 Controller

  -4 x 2 TB as a Raid5

  HP-ESXi - 5.5.0 - iso - 5.72 A

  I read a lot of articles on > limits of 2 TB of older versions of ESXi or controllers, limitation of 4 TB of c# vSphere Client, old firmware and esxi driver problems, etc.

  But I could not understand the problem.

  The P410 controller shows 5.5 TB:

  ~ # esxcli hpssacli cmd - q "controller connector = 1 see the config.

  Smart Array P410 in slot 1 (sn: PACCRID110510NR)

  Array A (SATA, used space: 0 MB)

  logicaldrive 1 (5.5 TB, RAID 5, OK)

  then 2I:0:5 (port 2I:box 0:bay 5, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:6 (port 2I:box 0:bay 6, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:7 (port 2I:box 0:bay 7, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  ESXi obviously knows the same size:

  I tried to increase the size of the data store, last used area was 11720890367 and last sector was 11720890510 which doesn't really seem to translate into an increase of 1.8 to.

  Your output, it shows that there are two partitions vmfs

  3 10229760 3907029134 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  4 3907031040 11720890367 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  A partition with 1.8 to and another with 3.8 to.   That's the reason why you see only 3.8 to

  I don't know why the 1.8 to vmfs volume is not list anywhere (which does not appear in the list of file system of storage of esxcli also). Do you have any before partition created manually. If you think that if there is no data in this 1.8 to vmfs partition you can remove it by using the partedutil command and then use this free space to extend the existing 3.8 to. But do not forget before you delete the partitiaon
