PowerCLI change vCenter full name

Hello

I am writing a script to change on several vcenter display name.

I import a csv file that contains sitecode vcenter, sitename, platform.

Currently, the VM vCenter is named as the name of windows, but to reorganize and standardize the names of data center/vcenter/cluster SSO, I want to change it with a powercli script...

For the datacenter and group names, I found everything I need, but for the display name, nothing... I spent all morning for this google...

The final result should look like this:

-> Sitename-vCenter

-> SiteCode-platform for the data center

-> Sitecode-platform for the Cluster

Naming Convention is not yet validated, but it should look like this...

I join a picture if my explanations are not clear enough...

Thanks for your help

As much as I know there is no public API to do.

And to be honest, I have no idea what the impact is when you do a 'Rename' from there

  • How to change your user name?

    Is the only way to completely close your profile and start a new?

    Yes. On this forum, you can only change the full name and not the username.
    To change the user name, you would have to contact and administrator, but maybe there's no one around at the moment.
    Otherwise, you will need to delete your account via your user profile page and create a new account with the desired name.

  • Get the Guest OS family and full name of PowerCLI VM Tools not installed OS?

    OK, been looking for this one, but need help...  If a virtual computer is turned off, or do not have installed VMware tools you can not get the OS or OS full name family?  Who can simply not be right... it's in the VMX file, in the UI Client VI, PowerCLI must so be able to get some how, right?  Someone has tackled this one!  Right?

    Partly right.

    The operating system that you see in the VIC or the VMX is what the creator of the host defined during the creation.

    It corresponds with the parameter - ID on the New - VM cmdlet.

    For more information on this ID, see errors during the GuestIDs of New - VM specification .

    The problem is that the creator of the prompt can define what he wants here, it does not match with the actual OS installed on the client!

    You can get this entry like this

    (Get-VM  | Get-View).summary.config.guestFullName
    
  • Full name change event is not get fired

    Our users IOM are automatically provisioned to OID using OID box connector. Provisioning works as expected. Now I'm going to put in place the event "Attribute of change", so that any changes made to the IOM users get implemented in OID. All change events work correctly until now except 'change name '.

    The "Lookup.USR_PROCESS_TRIGGERS" were after the entry for the display name.
    Code key-> USR_DISPLAY_NAME
    Decode-> change of name

    My "User OID" process has a task "name complete change" configured with adapter adpOIDMODIFYUSER. The AttrName mapped to 'Full name' and AttrVale is mapped to the full name of UserDefinition.

    I changed the value of 'Full name' from one user to the IOM, it does NOT raise the expected «Full name of Chane» event Any idea what could have gone wrong?

    Thank you!

    Change the name of the task of 'Name change' to something else say "FullName updated"

    Create a new task "Name change" and on the integration tab, add the Copyfield adapter.
    You get the full name of the definition of the user and map to the same variable in the treatment of the data

  • vCenter host name does not change after upgrade to different to host

    Hello

    Yesterday I've updated vcenter server 5.0 to 5.1 in my lab environment. everything goes well, I faced some problems after the upgrade to 5.1. Below the questions I met

    1 vcenter service is stopped - solved by stopping Server vcenter 5.0, because my SQL Server must always connect to my server vcenter 5.0. Basic Upgrade to 5.1

    The host name of vcenter 5.0 is vcp.lab.com

    2 vcenter 5.1 host name is vcp5.lab.com, when I connect to vcenter server with the host name or IP address still shows the old vcp.lab.com at the top of the console to vcenter

    How to solve this kind of issue. Is there any problem with certification because I copied the secure channel to the server vcp5 Server certification.

    Go to the menu Administration-> vCenter Server settings-> the run settings and type the name of the new server vCenter on vCenter Server Name.

    It seems that this problem should have a simple solution. All what you need to do is...

    1. Right-click a bookmark
    2. Click change
    3. Change the name of the site "" (simply press the space bar)
    4. Repeat steps.

    This will display the name as a SPACEBAR, eliminating the name entirely.

  • I need to change my user name in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.  Is it possible to do this?

    I guess I gave the name of connection all the time and not more that suits me, but it seems immutable.  Is it possible to go about changing it?  I have the program installed on my computer that uses Windows 8.1.

    My username on the Adobe Web site is my full name, but it's different on the Acrobat program.

    I chose this forum because the list of "topics" does not include something like that.

    Thank you for your help.

    If you're referring to what you see under Edit - Preferences - identity so it cannot be changed. Is the name of your Windows user account.

  • Get full names extended data warehouses

    Hello

    I used PowerCLI 5.1

    I am able to get the name of the data store + its first respective measure in this way:

    Get-Datastore. where {$_.type - eq "VMFS"} | % {write-host $_.} Name $(_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent[0])$. DiskName}


    But it simply returns a canonical name, not the full name as DGC fiber... . (< canonical name >) or Local disk from VMware (< canonical name >) which is seen in the graphical interface for a data store selected under scopes.

    It is possible to retrieve the full name of the first measure for all stores of data in a liner uses just cmdlet Get - data store ? So if there are 10 stores data only 10 datastore + extensions display names pairs will be returned similar to the highest of the output of the command.

    It is possible to get a similar output as in list of devices/paths get HBA with Powercli for peripheral column, but without having to use the cmdlets Get-VMHost, Get-VMHostHba and Get-ScsiLun because I just need 1 to 1 output to the data store and her first litter?

    Thank you

    Rindr

    Try like this

    Get-Datastore | where {$_.type -eq "VMFS"} |
    Select Name,
        @{N="CanonicalName";E={($_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent[0]).DiskName}},
        @{N="DisplayName";E={(Get-ScsiLun -CanonicalName ($_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent[0]).DiskName -VMHost (Get-VIObjectByVIView $_.ExtensionData.Host[0].Key)).ExtensionData.DisplayName}}
