PowerCLI: Enable / disable alarm on the hosts Actions / clusters

Hi all

I did some serious research on Google and am about to accept that it is not possible through PowerCLI.

But I wanted to make a last effort by asking you guys.

For the ESXi host interview, I want to use a PowerCLI script that does this:

  1. -Disable alarm on Cluster actions
  2. -Disable alarm on the hosts actions

  3. -maintenance (can be anything, but will include the host reboots)

  4. -turn on the alarm of the actions on the hosts
  5. -activate the alarm actions on Cluster

Because we have 300 + hosst ESXi, you can imagine that I want to cela scripted.

Is it possible to toggle alarm actions via PowerCLI?

Thank you and best regards,

Harold

OK, it seems we are talking about two different things.

What you want to do can be done from a script PowerCLI.

Something like that

$alarmMgr = Get-View AlarmManager $cluster = Get-Cluster MyCluster # To disable alarm actions $alarmMgr.EnableAlarmActions($cluster.Extensiondata.MoRef,$false)

# To enable alarm actions $alarmMgr.EnableAlarmActions($cluster.Extensiondata.MoRef,$true)

The same can be done for a host ESX (i)

$alarmMgr = Get-View AlarmManager $esx = Get-VMHost MyEsx

# To disable alarm actions $alarmMgr.EnableAlarmActions($esx.Extensiondata.MoRef,$false)

# To enable alarm actions $alarmMgr.EnableAlarmActions($esx.Extensiondata.MoRef,$true)

Sorry for the confusion

  • Disable communication between the host and the virtual machine

    I have VM Server 2.0 and one of the virtual machines has the same name as the server and even if the virtual computer is connected to the host only network it generates the Windows error message: duplicate names exist on the network.

    is there a way to disable communication between the host and the virtual machines? I just need a virtual network that is isolated from my network complete and host also.

    Thank you.

    The GUI Server2 is not to choose the other unused vmnets.  Then edit your file VMX use a different vmnet of 0, 1 or 8.  (which are bridged, host-only and NAT)

    Thus, for example, if your VMX has a line that says:

    Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet0.

    change to:

    Ethernet0.VNET = "VMNet2.

    (This assumes that you have not used the network Editor to fill the vmnet2 either).

  • Disabling network on the host while enabling in comments?

    First post. Coming for a long time. My sincere thanks for all the knowledge I have gained this community over the years!

    I use a virtual machine for all my internet needs and I would like to disable internet access into the host machine while leaving available for the virtual machine from the internet. Is this possible? I tried many settings that I can find via the GUI, and the only way I can access the internet via the virtual computer is if the LAN is enabled in the host.

    (BTW, I have that the host is exposed to the network because it is a small utility, that I have always told me that there is a new version available when starting unless the LAN is disabled in this case, there is no notification.) Windows Firewall is in full force, but I don't want ANY communication between the host and the external network).

    TXuser offers a good solution and add that if you don't have a router or do not change the settings for the router you can assign an address IP in the range 169.254.x.x to the NIC in the host and this will allow the guest OS to be configured using bridged network and receive an IP address from the DHCP server or router on local network and then the guest will be able to connect to the Internet host However, will not.

  • Recognize the remains of alarms on the host

    Hello

    I have problems with alarms in vcenter which I did not have a good solution for. Let's host a memory use and it esxceed´s the threshold in this case 90%. it triggers the alarm and make a triangle of warning on the host.

    I acknowledge the alarm and set in motion of virtual machines from the host to get the memory usage threshold. Now the host have 88% memory usage and the alarm has been removed since yesterday but still remain as a warning on the host?  any thoughts?

    Concerning

    Christer S

    The alarm is always a warning or if it is degraded to a warning?

    If possible, you can also try to restart the service of vCenter - usually you can do during the day (if there is no vCloud / view based on it) or you can do in a maintenance window if you're worried.

  • Creating a folder only runs in the hosts and Clusters discovered

    Greetings,

    I am creating folders [as I did through the heavy client] under the computers view virtual and models > Datacenter 'x' and [these are blue records] with VM.

    Yet, when to use the PowerCLi command: Get-Datacenter "x" | New-file - name 'test' [these are yellow]


    ONLY, it will create the folder under the view hosts and Clusters $toplevel.

    What command (if possible) would allow me to create folders in the same data center, yet computers VIEW virtual and models. ??

    I can explain it if necessary.

    But you must use the hidden folder called "vm" (as in my code).

    Then your new blue folder will be created directly under the data center.

    The code you have found does exactly the same thing (that vmfolder is actually the "vm" hidden folder I mentioned), but it's a long journey of following pointers

    I try to get the list of children records under hosts and clusters.  I have need of generations a list of folder directly under a given folder, but I have no chance.   Can anyone help?

    Get-file | get-childitem

    Truth is one sharp three

    In the hierarchy of the VI of objects, there are some hidden folders.

    It does not appear in the VIC, but you can see them with the managed object browser (http:///mob).

    You can do for records created under the node hosts & Clusters

    Get-Folder Datacenters | Get-Folder -NoRecursion
    

    The centers data folder is hidden folder that corresponds with the node hosts & Clusters.

    Since you only want to see the records of the child add us the parameter -NoRecursion.

  • Unable to synchronize of typkit and cannot be enabled / disable synchronization of the police?

    I was unable to synchronize all the fonts on my Macbook. They are all in my online library, but when I try to use fonts in applications that they are no longer there. In the desktop app, I am unable to disable and re-enable synchronization of fonts as it is grayed out. It doesn't seem to be running when I discover the activity monitor and not sure what to do next?

    Hi Alex,

    • Leave the creative cloud desktop application and other Adobe applications.
    • Go to the activity monitor and stop all processes of Adobe.
    • Go to user/Library/Application support/Adobe and OOBE folder rename the old OOBE folder.
    • Launch the creative cloud.
      Click on the gears and the preferences and log out.
    • Launch any application Adobe Indesign or Photoshop, then log on to the application and check.

    If this does not help, then opened Creative cloud application, go to the assets and fonts and check if you can see the fonts there in sync.

    If you see a spinning wheel in the fonts on creative office cloud then follow the same above steps again but this time rename com.adobe.accmac.plist in old com.adobe.accmac.plist in / Library/Preferences/Adobe Users

  • Questions on the host memory usage

    I was wondering if someone could give some insight on the following situation. We vSphere host set upwards with 32 GB of RAM. On this, we have 10 VMware View desktops and a couple Server VMs. We have configured each in order to have 2 GB of RAM. The host is showing an alarm for the host memory usage, but if you look at each of the virtual machines Windows XP, memory is granted way superior to the active memory. We have no reserve set and actions are set to normal. I wonder why the system reports a memory constraint when the largest part of the memory is alocating is not active.  In addition, the shared memory is showing 0. So this means that the memory page sharing does not locate? Am I missing something?

    ESX has called fresh General.  A virtual machine has 2 ways to manage memory.  a physical machine has one, physical RAM, and when this physical RAM disappeared, the operating system is left with only one option, Exchange.

    VM works the same way.  A material divides the virtual machine into small sections, only they have hard limits.  So your VM is 2G, the operating system and virtual machine sees only 2 GB of RAM.  When this RAM was gone, the operating system must decide where the extra RAM is come.  Since it is a Vritual machine, the RAM of the machine can ALSO be swapped.

    So, when you create a virtual machine, and you do not have reservations, you say that the Virtual Machine to get the RAM of the host, if this fails, get from a pagefile on the RAM disk.  If not THEN the operating system can use internal swap, but ESX requires a virtual machine to use his 'balloon' driver to lead you to the top of RAM internal and fool the operating system into thinking that he MUST use internal swap. It is probably where you are confused.

    The use of the RAM that you see is the virtual machine, taking all THE RAM of the host.  If the host has say 48GB of RAM, and you have the run of the 10 mV, which is more than 20 GB of RAM in use.  There is a LOT of RAM left other virtual machines, so in this case, the memory of the host is high (use), but not ACTIVE, which means allocated for the virtual machine, but the OS is not really 'use' for the moment.

    When you add multiple virtual machines, you will see this fall.  Keep in mind they can really share the memory too, so among those 20 VM with VM similar (like Windows), they are all windows (suggests) and 30% of that share these 20 VM, so 30% 20 GB is 7 GB, so 13 GB that is actually used, so in a perfect world, ideal conditions your host should be about 15 GB used probably less active 6 GB, but EACH VM shows 2 GB of memory host, right?

    It's normal.  When one approaches the limit of host memory that these figures will change, from OS and need and that the BONE... and to complicate things even more, reservations and VM limits and priority will ALSO skew the numbers.

    Isn't fun ESX?

    Hi eatVM,

    You solved this problem?

    HTTP and REST of the vRO6.0 plugin added new more stringent audits.

    VMware has just released the version of technical overview of the vRO REST plugin with an option to disable checking of the host.

    So if you want to have BDE plugin works fine with vRA 6.2, you should spend the REST HTTP plugin.

    You can download the plugin here.

    Technical preview of REST plugin version

    Upgrade of the REST-HTTP 1.0.4.2229037 HTTP-REST 1.0.7 - 2563729 of vRO configuration web page.


    Make sure the value false for the parameter 'hostVerification' during execution workflow "Configuration of the host of Serengeti."


    Indulge yourself, hope everything goes well with you!

  • Management of VMs: Which one to use, "hosts and Clusters" or "models and virtual computers.

    Hi all

    As the subject says, when you manage virtual machines, which is better to use? Hosts and Clusters? Models and virtual computers?

    It's our facility:

    Previously we had only been using "Hosts and Clusters" manage all of our virtual machines. We organize objects of the individual within vApps and Resource Pools. We had also installation on these both parent objects permissions for who has access to what.

    Basically, we have about 12 members. Everyone has their own virtual machines that they use for training, etc. We manage centralized via AD with users and groups user access. We also have some users assigned to some hosts to maintain the level of things between the two hosts. Our license does not DRS, BTW.

    I just replaced our server vCenter in preparation for our 4.1 vSphere upgrade later this year, Yes, we are on vSphere 4.0 currently. So I went ahead and 'computers models and virtual"allowing to create user folders, gave users access and placed virtual machines of all users within these folders. (I heard recently that the use of the hosts and Clusters was semantically incorrect). Even if they have access to their folder, they cannot create a virtual machine because they cannot access a host. A computer file virtual and models can be assigned to a host?

    I didn't assign permissions to each user in order to add to each host, because I didn't want others to mess with other virtual machines. All users previously red access only, but sinc the virtual machines and templates folders are not assigned to any host, they can get in their folder to create and manage their virtual machines.

    Then, I go on this wrong all the models and virtual computers and do I just keep using our hosts and Clusters of installation above permissions groups?

    Any advice on the semantics in this would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Johnathan

    All,

    I solved my problems.

    Check book Scott Lowes ' Mastering VMware vSphere 4 "Chapter 9, he described the use of Resource Pools to the VM group under the view of the hosts & Clusters. Using the same names as the files under VMs & models and adding the same permissions, I was able to force every user to use their own folder under VMs & templates and only their Resource Pool under hosts & Clusters. So now the two views reflect the objects of each user and their access controls are correct.

    Items to remove this Lessines:

    Use Of Resource Pools under host & Clusters to manage the default host for users.

    Files under VMs & models allows you to manage virtual machines model announcement for each user (simple view).

    Thanks for the help,

    Johnathan

  • Disable the host followed via PowerCLI

    Hi all...


    I am looking for a way to disable the host followed via powercli.

    I found one-liner of LucD to get the current state: Get-Cluster | Select Name, @{N = 'Home monitoring status'; E={$_. Extensiondata.Configuration.DasConfig.HostMonitoring}}

    And I know how to turn on/off HA: Get-Cluster | Cluster - HAEnabled game: $false

    But I'm not sure how to combine the two.

    I want to be able to quickly toggle host control without having to disable HA altogether.

    I disabled the salting after it has been put a patch last year, but now my cluster complains of being non-compliant and I cannot find the setting in the profile of the host.

    No matter which help out me?

    Looking for a Mem.ShareForceSalting in the profile of the host. Allows to set the value of salt.

    The current value can be discovered by esxcli system parameters list advanced o/Mem/ShareForceSalting. I guess you want to change to 1 (default is 2)

    You can edit this profile host to change the right profile---> advanced configuration Option---> Clik---> Add Profile. Create a new profile with OptionProfile at the bottom of this sheet.

    Expand OptionProfile---> Advanced Option---> select "configure a fixed option.

    On the first box, enter Mem.ShareForceSalting and on the second box set to 1 (I changed the salt value (default) 2-1)

    Then follow the standard-setting process and application of profile
