• Get-view datastore and get-function data store

  Hey, my first time posting here.

  Creating a function which takes as input pipeline and processes that each entry through process in a function. I want the function to be able to take the 'get - view - viewtype datastore' and 'get-datastore' as input.

  Obtained in what concerns obtaining the opinion of the GET and get-datastore work separately in the service, but when I want the function to be able to take one or the other input that I can't make it work.

  Here is the function at this moment, not really work for one of the entries.

  Function Get-DatastoreSpace () {}
  [cmdletbinding()]
  (param
  [Parameter (mandatory = $true,)]
  ValueFromPipeline = $true)]
  $Datastore
  )

  BEGIN {$ReportDatastore = @ ()}
  
  {IN PROCESS
  
  $row = "" | Select-Object Datastore_name, Datastore_Freespace_GB, Datastore_type, Datastore_Capacity_GB
  $row. Datastore_name = $_.name
  $row. Datastore_type = $_.type
  $row. Datastore_Capacity_GB = [math]: tour ($_.) Capacity / 1 gb, 3)
  $row. Datastore_Freespace_GB = [math]: tour ($_.) FreeSpace / 1 gb, 3)
  
  $ReportDatastore += $row

  }

  END {$ReportDatastore}

  }

  Any ideas on how to do this?

  Thanks in advance

  Check the type of the object in the variable $datastore.

  Something like that

  if($datastore -is [VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.DatastoreManagement.VmfsDatastoreImpl]){
  # From Get-Datastore
  }
  elseif($datastore -is [VMware.Vim.Datastore]){
  # From Get-View -ViewType Datastore
  }
  else{
  # Wrong object type
  }
  

• get - view filtering

  The following code returns no resource pool yet I know that there are some

  $myhost = get-view viewtype - hostsystem-property name, Parent - filter @{'Name' = 'Blah'}

  $resourcepools = get-view - viewtype ResourcePool-property name, filter-owner @{'Owner' = $myhost. Parent}

  $resourcepools

  I also tried

  $myhost = get-view viewtype - hostsystem-property name, Parent - filter @{'Name' = 'Blah'}

  $resourcepools = get-view - viewtype ResourcePool-property name, filter-owner @{Owner.Value "= $myhost". ""} Parent.Value}

  $resourcepools

  Nothing helps.

  
  Anyone know why this is and how to do it?

  Kind regards

  
  Ryan

  It will work

  $resourcepools = get-view -viewtype ResourcePool -property Name, Owner -filter @{"Owner"=$myhost.Parent.Value}
  

• Still not get the filtering and the SUMIF with visible cells

  Hi all

  I know it is a pain for you people, but I'm really stuck with this problem.

  I tried to use the answers I found in the community and the User Guide, but I have to be closed to this kind of explanation.

  Once again:

  In the column A is a series of dates

  In column B the value corresponding

  In the foot of B line, I want the SumOf only the visible cells that I filtered before.

  So far I have always the sum of all the lines, filtered or not.

  I added another column with a True/False value and tried to use it but get the same result.

  I'm pretty slow, so I guess that I'll need your help once more.

  It is the sum before filtering:

  

  And that's the sum after filtering:

  

  I thank you for your time and patience.

  Lopez

  Lopez Hello,

  Table filtering only affects the rows that are displayed. Hidden lines are always included in the calculations of formulas referring to them.

  Your formula, = SUM (B2:B16) summarizes the content of all the B2 to B16 cells, including those that are hidden.

  There are several other functions in the family of the SUM. SUM, SUMIF and SUMIF. ENS are of interest here.

  SUMIF (English: SUMIF) accepts a condition and only adds the cells on the lines which is assembled as a condition.

  SUMIF. ENS (English: SUMIFS) accepts several conditions and only adds the cells on the rows that meet all the conditions.

  For the example stated in your post, must be the form you need:

  = SUMIF. ENS(B; A; "> = 02/01/2016." A; "" < 03/01/2016 ")"

  (NOT tested. The dates should be placed in two cells and these cells referenced in the formula. post a reply with any error message if the formula does not work as written).

  The lines not included in the amount need not be hidden.

  If the formula is inserted into column B, it must be in a line defined as a footer line using the menu item in the same position as the highlight in this screenshot:

  

  Footer lines can be placed on foot (bottom) of a table.

  Kind regards

• display initial, intermediate and final conditions in an indicator

  I have two indicators, one aping a multicolor LED and the other a text string.  I use an event inside a while loop to monitor a push of button that triggers a response.

  At the beginning of the program, I want to put an initial condition for these two indicators for example the LED is off and string "to go". »

  As the program is running, the LED color changes and updates of string according to a logic.

  The program is tired of running it is account to 10 and decided to stop, affecting the LED and the chain to a timeout condition.

  In addition, the user can hit the stop button, in which case the LED and the chain show a stop condition.

  Problem is if I put the indicators on the registers on the left, I get the correct initial condition but to an incorrect final condition.  If I put the indicators on the right records, I'm getting correct finals but incorrect initial conditions.  How can I get the initial AND final conditions correct?

  A slap in the right direction would be much appreciated.

  Use the time-out period.  Using a registry to offset, you can set the time-out of the structure of the event to be 0 for the first iteration and -1 for all other iterations.  Yes, then you can update your indicators on the right.  In the case of the time-out period, it is just wire your straight through statutes.

• Using filters and Get - view to find virtual machines with a specific guest operating system.

• Can be combined in the same script Get - VM and Get - view?

  Hello

  I am trying to find a way to combine these two Get - VM and Get - view in the same script.

  Script # 1

  Get-Cluster Management | Get - VM | Select Name,@{Name="HardwareVersion; Expression = {$_.} ExtensionData.Config.Version}}

  Script # 2

  Get-Cluster Management | Get - vm | where {$_.powerstate - don't "PoweredOff"} | % {get-view $_.id} | Select Name, @{Name = "ToolsVersion"; {Expression = {$_.config.tools.toolsVersion}}, @{Name = "ToolStatus"; Expression = {$_.} Guest.ToolsVersionStatus}}

  I've always had problems try this out and now, I need to combine them into a single script in figure.

  If you can help me or point me in the right direction would be great.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Curiosity got the best of me so I came with this. You had more correct, but you need to make a custom object so that the properties you are looking for can all be used simultaneously.

  It does not use the pipeline and uses a foreach loop.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  $vms = get-Cluster Management | Get - VM? {$_.powerstate - don't "PoweredOff"}

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $VMID = get-View ($vm.id)

  New-object psobject-property @ {}

  VM = $vm

  HardwareVersion = $vm. ExtensionData.Config.Version

  ToolsVersion = $VMID.config.tools.toolsVersion

  ToolsStatus = $VMID. Guest.ToolsVersionStatus

  } | Select the virtual machine, ToolsVersion, HardwareVersion, ToolsStatus

  }

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Or use this option if you like the pipeline with Foreach-Object approach.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Get-Cluster Management | Get - VM? {$_.powerstate - don't "PoweredOff"} | % {

  $VMID = get-View ($_.id)

  New-object psobject-property @ {}

  VM = $_

  HardwareVersion = $_. ExtensionData.Config.Version

  ToolsVersion = $VMID.config.tools.toolsVersion

  ToolsStatus = $VMID. Guest.ToolsVersionStatus

  } | Select the virtual machine, ToolsVersion, HardwareVersion, ToolsStatus

  }

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Both methods are correct that I can see. I tried both and both work well. You can easily piple only out to Export-Csv at the end of the select line. I hope this helps.

• PowerCLI - get the number of cores per processor and number of Sockets

  Greetings,

  We are responsible to give a list of all our virtual machines with their host name, the number of CPUs, the BONES and the number of cores per processor for verification.

  I immediately said that this would not be a problem with PowerCLI. However I seem to have more trouble with it than expected.

  Get the number of CPUS is not a problem, but the time wherever I want to divide the number of cores and the number of sockets, it seems to hit a dead end.

  I found the following entries of the community concerned:

  Re: vSphere 5. Casings of vCPU and cores per CPU (PowerCLI) bug

  Machine virtual access avancΘs | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

  Parameters to retrieve and set Advanced Configuration (VMX) VM

  But neither seemed to give me the right input. The advanced configuration settings do not appear to contain the number of cores/sockets and Get-View and Get - VM normal controls do not seem to differentiate between carrots and the power outlets and just give the number of processors.

  Because we need these settings for a check I doubt I'm the first to need this information. Does anyone have an idea how to get this information?

  Please note that it is the number of cores and casings of a VM, not an ESXi host.

  Thanks in advance,

  Bram

• Get-View and - filter

  I'm a (relatively) new convert to get - view the incredible increase in speed to run scripts PowerCLI through ESXi hosts hundreds / thousands of virtual machines.

  I've been struggling with how to do it with a list of the MV?  What I want to do, it's with a provided list of VMs get the hardware version and version of the tools.

  Normally, if you wanted a report of everything that you would do the following:

  Notice-EEG - viewtype VirtualMachine-property name, Config. Select Name, @{N = "HWVersion"; E={$_. Config.Version}},@{N="Tools '; E={$_. Config.Tools.ToolsVersion}} | FT-auto

  Now read on - filter is seems the way to go-, but it uses a hash table.  That is to say "Name" = "Foo".  It does not seem to manage 'Name' = $vmList where $vmList is a collection of multiple virtual machines.  I will not go into how if the variable is a unique virtual machine that Foo matches Foo and FooBar.

  What I have used is the following:

  $vmList = get-content c:\scripts\import\listofvms.txt

  Get - vm $vmList | Opinion-GET-property name, Config. Select Name, @{N = "HWVersion"; E={$_. Config.Version}},@{N="Tools '; E=$_. Config.Tools.ToolsVersion}} | FT-auto

  The only problem is that I feel like this is a workaround solution - it should all be achievable using get - view directly.  -If I wanted to use - filter, with a collection of virtual machines would how I did this?

  See you soon

  Robert

  Hi Robert,.

  If you use the cmdlet Get-view and search two VM called foo and bar, you will need to make a filter with a regular expression. You must use the vertical bar as a sign "or" in the regular expression. For example

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-Property Name, filter-Config @{"Name"=' foo | "} bar'}

  You can use the .NET Join method string to construct the regular expression from the $vmList variable. Like this:

  $vmList = get-content c:\scripts\import\listofvms.txt
  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Config -Filter @{"Name"="$([string]::Join('|',$vmList))"} | `
  Select-Object -Property Name,@{N="HWVersion";E={$_.Config.Version}},@{N="Tools";E={$_.Config.Tools.ToolsVersion}} | `
  Format-Table -AutoSize
  

  Best regards, Robert

• How to read the VM ProvisionedSpaceGB and UsedSpaceGB using get - view?

  Hello

  I would like to retrieve the properties of the VM ProvisionedSpaceGB and UsedSpaceGB using get - view and not get - vm.

  How do I do that?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Kind regards

  André

  Hello, Andre-

  You can retrieve some properties of an object view VirtualMachine and then do some computed properties, such as:

  ## get the View object of this VM, with a choice few properties (faster), then select some info about the objectGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Name" = "^myVM0$"} -Property Name,Summary.Storage |    Select Name,        @{n="ProvisionedSpaceGB"; e={($_.Summary.Storage.Committed + $_.Summary.Storage.Uncommitted) / 1GB}},        @{n="UsedSpaceGB"; e={$_.Summary.Storage.Committed / 1GB}}
  

  To just get these some properties in the call to Get-view is the smaller memory usage in the PowerShell session and much higher speed during the extraction of the View object (without specifying properties to retrieve, the cmdlet returns all properties). How does do for you?

• Problem combining Get - VM and Get-View

  I worked on a script for a while, and very close if he's working as I want.  The script below is what I have so far and works as I want.

  $(foreach ($cluster get-cluster) {get - view - viewtype VirtualMachine - SearchRoot $cluster.id | select @{N = 'The virtual computer name';}) E={$_. Name}}, @{N = "PowerState"; E={$_. Summary.Runtime.PowerState}}, @{N = "guest operating system"; E={$_. Config.GuestFullName}}, @{N = 'Cluster'; E = {$cluster. Name}}, @{N = 'Notes'; E={$_. Summary.Config.Annotation}}})

  However, I can't seem to shoot our custom annotations by using Get - view but can't Get - VM.  The script below works.

  Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = "Org1.Environment"; E = {(Get-Annotation-entité $_-CustomAttribute "Org1.Environment").} Value}}

  How to combine the two?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello, Grimdari-

  You are pretty close to.  A couple of ways you could do this, the first using the code of Get-Annotation you did already:

  foreach ($cluster in Get-Cluster) {    Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -SearchRoot $cluster.id | Select @{n="VM name"; e={$_.Name}},        @{n="PowerState"; e={$_.Summary.Runtime.PowerState}},        @{n="Guest OS"; e={$_.Config.GuestFullName}},        @{n="Cluster"; e={$cluster.name}},        @{n="Notes"; e={$_.Summary.Config.Annotation}},        ## using the Get-VIObjectByVIView cmdlet; slower        @{n="Org1.Environment"; e={(Get-Annotation -Entity (Get-VIObjectByVIView $_) -CustomAttribute "Org1.Environment").Value}}} ## end foreach
  

  And the second, stick with the info you've already recovered in the call to Get-View :

  ## selected properties to retrieve in Get-View call$arrViewPropertiesToGet = "Name","Summary.Runtime.PowerState","Config.GuestFullName","Summary.Config.Annotation","CustomValue","AvailableField"foreach ($cluster in Get-Cluster) {    Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property $arrViewPropertiesToGet -SearchRoot $cluster.id | Select @{n="VM name"; e={$_.Name}},        @{n="PowerState"; e={$_.Summary.Runtime.PowerState}},        @{n="Guest OS"; e={$_.Config.GuestFullName}},        @{n="Cluster"; e={$cluster.name}},        @{n="Notes"; e={$_.Summary.Config.Annotation}},        ## just using the data already retrieved; far faster        @{n="Org1.Environment"; e={$viewThisVM = $_; ($viewThisVM.CustomValue | ?{$_.Key -eq ($viewThisVM.AvailableField | ?{$_.Name -eq "Org1.Environment"}).Key}).Value}}} ## end foreach
  

  The second way is much faster, though it might be a little less obvious how she came up with the results.  He becomes the value of CustomValue where CustomValue key corresponds to the key AvailableField for the AvailableField with the name of the attribute you want.  Anyway, how those who do for you?

  The command

  Get-view ViewType - hostsystem-name of the Parent property

  Returns an array if you have more than one host. This means that you must do something like:

  (Get-view ViewType - hostsystem-name of the Parent property) [0]. MoRef

  or

  $x = get - View - ViewType hostsystem-property name, Parent
  $x [0]. MoRef

  to retrieve the first host MoRef.
