• VM Variable for the virtual computer object

  Hello

  I am connected to multiple vcenters where we have a few VM objects that have the same name (no duplicates in the vcenter even).

  and I need to run a vm - get when you are connected to the 2 vcenters and store that in a variable $vms

  It is always the case for virtual machines with the same name that if a virtual machine is running in a vcenter, it is turned off in the other vcenter. (DR)

  for virtual machines in this case, I need my variable to store the computer object virtual that is powered AND ignores the engine off... for other virtual machines, I need to power on and power off power vms to be included.

  Here's what I do, but it doesn't work

  $vms = (get - vm |) {ForEach-Object

  If ($_.name - eq $null) {}

  $_ = ($_ |  (Where-Object {$_.powerstate-eq "réceptrices"})} else {$_}

  })

  Hello, max2001-

  How about something like the following:

  ## get all VMs from all connect vCenters, and group them by name$arrAllVMs_grouped = Get-VM | Group-Object Name
  
  $arrDesiredVMs = @()## for any group of VMs where there is more than one (2, presumably), only return the PoweredOn VM in the group$arrDesiredVMs = $arrAllVMs_grouped | ?{$_.Count -gt 1} | %{$_.Group | ?{$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"}}## and for the groups of VMs where there is only one VM in the group, add that VM to the DesiredVMs array$arrDesiredVMs += $arrAllVMs_grouped | ?{$_.Count -eq 1} | %{$_.Group}
  

  Who will be:

  1. get all virtual machines and group by name
  2. groups of virtual machines where there is more than one, just take those who are in the PowerState PoweredOn
  3. and, grab all the VMS are groups of count 1 (named unique VMs), without regard to their PowerState

  What to do for you?

• Poor performance of the virtual computer. Questions RDY %

  I installed an environment to ESXi 4.1, and less than a week that I started getting complaints that some virtual machines were slow. Using ESXTOP moment RDY % is usually great, as in simple figures. Then there are times where it spikes up to 80% or hangs around 50% for about 30 seconds.  I know not all the virtual machines have VMTools updated may cause CPU scheduling questions?

  Never, I followed this environment in the past, so I don't know if they had a CPU contention before this upgrade or not, I'm going strictly by the comments of users.

  No, the VMware tools backdated wouldn't interfere.  In fact, you don't have even the VMware Tools installed to a virtual machine running normally.  Will pass you right next to the advanced features and performance gains unrelated to the CPU.  The CPU is the processor there is no driver for this specific to VMware.  Values of loans are quite specific - the virtual machine has something to see CPU wise and his waiting for access to the CPU.

  The physical number of nuclei in the home and what is it (Intel 5500 or 7300 etc.)?  How many virtual machines?  How many virtual processors assigned to hospitality?   How many VMS are multi-CPU?  What is most vCPU per VM on the host?

• Change the settings for the virtual computer video card

  After upgrade of several virtual machines to the latest version of material, some of our virtual machines experienced a problem where the 3D has been activated and automatic detection has been updated with the manual. Some side effects have been experienced. I am now seeking to create a workflow to disable 3D and set to automatic detection for our servers. I found the properties "enable3DSupport" and "useAutoDetect" under VirtualDeviceConfigSpec.VirtualDevice.VirtualMachineVideoCard.

  I had planned this script in action and create a workflow to move a virtual machine as the user selects.

  I fired up Onyx and pulled the following information:

  // ------- ReconfigVM_Task -------
   
  var spec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  spec.changeVersion = "2013-02-21T16:34:32.130873Z";
  spec.deviceChange = System.getModule("com.vmware.onyx").array(VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec, 1);
  spec.deviceChange[0] = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
  spec.deviceChange[0].operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
  spec.deviceChange[0].device = new VcVirtualMachineVideoCard();
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.key = 500;
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo = new VcDescription();
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo.label = "Video card ";
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo.summary = "Video card";
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.controllerKey = 100;
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.unitNumber = 0;
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.videoRamSizeInKB = 8192;
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.numDisplays = 1;
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.useAutoDetect = true;
  spec.deviceChange[0].device.enable3DSupport = false;
   
  managedObject.reconfigVM_Task(spec);  // VirtualMachine
  
  
  

  I know that most of that is not necessary, but I have tried two different ways and received the following error:

  Cannot convert com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec@1 in [com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec] (name of the dynamic Script Module: changeVideoCard3DEnable #9)

  Can someone provide some guidance? It seems that most actions and workflows in vCO seek information in the environment rather than change things.

  Thank you

  Morning,

  untested but try this way:

  spec var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  var myDeviceChange = new Array();
  var myVirtualMachineVideoCard = new VcVirtualMachineVideoCard();
  Context of var = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
  myVirtualMachineVideoCard.useAutoDetect = true;
  myVirtualMachineVideoCard.enable3DSupport = false;
  configSpec.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
  configSpec.device = myVirtualMachineVideoCard;
  myDeviceChange.push (configSpec);
  spec.deviceChange = myDeviceChange;
  vm.reconfigVM_Task (spec);

  But it's untetested.

• Import the Virtual Machine Notes to new vCenter 5.1

  Is there a way to import the Virtual Machine Notes to a new vCenter attribute? I am able to export notes to help

  Thanks Andy

  Hi Andy,.

  to import the attribute information about the virtual machine in a new vCenter server, you can use the following script PowerCLI:

  Import-CSV -Path Notes.csv |
  ForEach-Object {
    Get-VM $_.Name |
    Set-VM -Notes $_.Notes -Confirm:$false

• SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

  Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

  One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

  More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).

  
  Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Andy

  Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

  The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

  To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

• Troubleshooting performance problems with the mail server on the virtual computer

  The below document page 20 and 21 accurate meters, you should look at the virtual machine level.

• Determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface

  I want to determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface.  How can I do this?

  If I use a supermetric, there is no kind of attribute under CPU called "maximum use.

  Certainly, you get points for a long question! Although to be fair, it's probably my fault to feed you so much information to digest at once.

  1. I would say you can do two ways visually. Use the operations > detail view for 'normal ranges' use the upper limit of the normal range as your typical max. You want an absolute peak, add the metric of a graph or observe that highlight high and low watermarks.

  2. There are a lot of ways to display data, but if you want to display a single metric over a period of time, we could use the following widgets [on top of my head]:

  Top - N analysis

  Weather map

  Analysis of distribution of data

  Among these, I think of your desire for a "peak". Who you want real value, which eliminates the weather map. Then, I think that the concept of a 'Summit' and what is the best thing, I think that the 95th percentile... then I came with the widget of data distribution. The decision is ultimately yours given your particular use case.

  3. you can have it apply to several virtual machines - it's just a widget capable of being an independent provider or receiving widget (metrics, DO NOT choose to select resources). Each resource/metric will add to the widget and you can remove them if you like after it is added. You can certainly all the time you visit... It is date and time standard options you have in all the other widgets chart. With the widget data distribution, you want as much time as possible to get an accurate histogram of the cycles of workload.

  4. This is similar to the question above. You can certainly add parameters of individual resource or a DM that summarizes or AVG groups of resources. And as above, the delay is configurable, along with the other graph widgets.

  5. it's part of Q4 - you can sumN or avgN up to any number of resources with a SM, then discovers that SM in the widget of data distribution. When I said container, I mean an application, group resource pool... all that acts as a container parent within the vCOps.

  6. that's correct, SMs calc using data collected last points... aka single period of time. When you are referring to the longest period, I gave you a few examples of the attributes that are composed of several periods of time which are calculated and created by the adapter for VMware vCenter behvaior. In this case, you have the GVA 15 min CPU 1.5; These specific simple mobile GVA can be specific OR a copy using SMs. Next, you will have the chance is to find a way to distribute what you need through a widget [at that time].

  7. the distribution of data is not for export, it is for Visual functions. If you want the data in CSV, just use a typical chart of metrics and export to a csv and calc your own pics, avg, 95th, whatever.

  8. This is a bit of a mix of all your questions, put in place.

  You are right, if you added those 3 VMs, then calc was the 95th of the AVG. Like Q7, you would not export the data of the distribution of data because the raw data points are not - you do not pass the metric to a metric graphics standard and export via csv.

• NET application SAN LUN connection for a virtual computer on the network

  Hi guys

  I have a LUN of SAN NetApp ready for a virtual computer that is connected to the network.

  How can I make the virtual machine network?

  I created another vNic and added to it as a secondary virtual machine network, but is there a better way to do this?

  Should I be using the VMKernel network and choose iScsi?

  Thanks, Julien

  Hi Julien,

  Introduce the network of the virtual machine as if it were any other network. No need to have a vmkernel, unless you want to create an iSCSI data store.

  Set up your network inside the virtual machine with an IP address in the same subnet as your storage space. Try to ping of your storage space for the guest. Configure your iSCSI initiator and present your logic unit number on the virtual computer in your NetApp.

• IOPS / s & latency for each virtual computer

  It's my first time to write a script to metrics out of the virtual environment and I'm trying to get out of the latency of disk IOPS and total / s disk for each virtual machine in the environment.

  Here are the relevant excerpts I have at the moment:

  #Get powered on virtual machines

  $VMs = get - VM? {$_.powerstate - eq "Receptor"}

  #Loop through each virtual computer

  {foreach ($vm to $VMs)

  $dskreadlatency = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "disk.totalreadlatency.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

• Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

  I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

  (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

  (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

  (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

  4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

  (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

  They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

  If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

  We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

  Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

• Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

  Hi all

  (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

  We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

  We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

  I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

  Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

  TIA
