PowerCLI need to define global attributes on the hosts

PowerCLI need to define global attributes on the hosts... Please, I beg you. ESXi4.

The name is easy in the user interface as long as it applies to all hosts in the global inventory, but I want to be able to set or change the value of the attribute on a per host-level or a cluster.

Thanks for any help!

I have

To create global custom attributes that you use

New-CustomAttribute -Name MyCustomAttribute

To set a global custom attribute for the hosts, you can use

New-CustomAttribute -Name MyCustomAttribute -TargetType VMHost

If you want to set or change the value of the attribute for a specific host, you can do

 Set-CustomField -Name MyCustomAttribute -Value "MyValue" -Entity (Get-VMHost )

If you want to change the value for all hosts in a cluster, you can do

Get-Cluster  | Get-VMHost | Set-CustomField -Name MyCustomAttribute -Value "MyValue"

  • Added a Zoom Plugin jQuery and needing help to add attributes to the evolution of the poplet images.

    Hey BC community, I looking for a little help with some jQuery / javascript. Overall, I have a plugin to zoom like forcing me to add a data attribute to the image I want to add the zoom effect on. This isn't a problem, but I poplet images that I've adjusted to fill again the big picture. html() rather than the default light box.  The Zoom plugin I use requires a data attribute to be added to all the images I want to have the ability to zoom attached to. I wrote jQuery that adds the attribute data on the original image which is to fill the big image container, but whenever I change the following poplet image, I lose the zoom effect. I hope that makes sense... lol I'm still a javascript / jquery newby.

    Here is the work currently underway. Figure which may help understand the situation better. Here is the site

    I just want to add zoom to any poplet effect is enabled by adding the attribute data and the new file extension required for the expansion of the resolution. Again, please excuse the bad jQuery / javascript, I'm still learning!

  • How to define an attribute of the declarative component with the list of options

    12.1.3 jdev

    I'm trying to define a declarative component UOM. It has a text box with a selectOneChoice of the optional codes for this type of unit of MEASURE.

    I have uomType as one of the attributes of my unit of MEASURE. It may be of WEIGHT, VOLUME, LENGTH, etc. Is it possible to provide a list of the channels supported for my uomType? So, when the user uses this component, they can select a type they want in the list, instead of typing in themselves.

    < afc:attribute >
    < afc:attribute - name > uomType < / afc:attribute - name >
    < afc:attribute - class > java.lang.String < / afc:attribute - class >
    < afc: required > true < / afc: required >
    < / afc:attribute >

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately the lists are not an option with the declarative elements

  • How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

    I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

    I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

    Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

    Thank you.

    Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

    Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

  • BI Publisher - block entity - display the global attributes

    Hello

    With the help of OPA 12.2.1.

    I use an rtf to generate a PDF file at the end of my interview.

    In the rtf, I have a block of an entity:

    <? for-each: children? >

    <? end foreach? >

    In this block, I display the attribute of the entity, but I view the global attributes so for each child.

    Behavior: the child attributes are displayed, but not overall.

    For the record, the global attributes are well displayed outside teaching.

    No idea what to do?

    Thank you.

    Orlando

    The exact path of the child elements being processed at the global attribute is not just "... / ' could be several levels upward.   The XML being processed by BI publisher can be considered to be a file path (in XML called XPath) each subelement is 'low' level and each parent elements is "up" one level (for example "..") ("/" current level is the parent).  The key is to look at the real generated XML and then determine the best way to access the elements in your RTF.  XPath is very powerful to navigate anywhere in the XML document to select the nodes/elements that you want to process.  Resources such as the https://blogs.oracle.com/ocsbip/entry/xslxsltxpathxslfo_part_1 can explain more in detail.

  • Display 'global' attributes, and other entities in a single screen

    As far as I know, in OPM attributes of an entity type can be added to any given screen.

    According to operating conditions of my current project Ihave to view more attributes of an entity type in some of the screens.

    I have found a workaround for entities which has only one instance (singleton in version 10.1 entity), but could not figure out how to view the attributes of entities which has several occurrences.

    For example:
    We have an entity called < b > "child" < /b > that has many attributes. It may be more than one child bodies defined in a given assessment session.

    This particular screen should have the attributes that belong to the "global" < b > < /b > and < b > 'the child' < /b > instances.
    (The names of all children must be displayed on the screen as the checkboxes < b > < /b > so that the user can select the children who are affected by the global attributes displayed on the screen.)

    Is - this achievble in OPM 10.1?


    SP1D3R MAN

    Display global attributes and attributes in the entity-level nested on the same screen of question cannot be done to the OPM 10.1 with the out-of-the-box feature. Need a custom screen. (For the record, I'm not a programmer so I can't advise on how to build such a personalized screen.)

    Before generating customizations, you should also consider whether you really need to use an older version of the product. OPA 10.1 came out early last year; the current version is 10.3.

  • global variables for the XML plugin problem

    Hello world

    recently I started working on a dialog box SOUTH, where the user can load the *.xml files in DIAdem.So much my code for the button looks like this:

    ....

    Call the FileNameGet ('ALL', 'FileRead","*.xml")
    Call DataFileLoad (FileDlgName, "XML_Plugin", "Load")

    ....

    And I must say that it works very well! I am able to load all listed in the devices file. BUT when I tried a number of loading devices, I used a global variable, that I defined in the vbscript file that I load the SOUTH since, I've noticed that global variables, I've defined with GlobalDim are not defined in the vbs.:mansurprised of XML_Pluging:

    Then I started to experiment and so far without success, no matter where I define global variables, in my plugin *.xml all not defined! The native commands even and DIAdem functrions does not work. If I run the script in tiara, it shows no errors, but when I use the plugin to open a file, then it gives an error. For example, MsgBox is not allowed.

    I used the plugin example for *.xml, which was published on the Web site of NOR, and I made a few changes. But overall I have it has not corrupted and I kept the same structure:

    Void ReadStore (File)

    Dim XmlFile: xmlFile = File.Info.FullPath
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    'open the file '.
    OpenXMLFile xmlFile

    End Sub

    Void OpenXMLFile (xmlFile)
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    ' Open MS - Xml Parser
    'Create the ActiveX object for the Microsoft XML parser.
    Dim XDoc: set xDoc = CreateObject ("MSXML2. DOMDocument.3.0")

    "Try to load the XML document
    If xDoc.Load (xmlFile) = False Then
    "Failed to load the document XML.
    RaiseError ' unable to load XML document!
    End If

    protected originalLocale: originalLocale = Getlocalte
    "SetLocale" en - us ".

    "The XML document loaded successfully!
    '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

    '----------------------------------------------
    "Read the header information.
    '----------------------------------------------

    Here, I have read some values of the header and then I loop on all devices present in the file!

    So basically I have two subroutines and that's all.

    SetLocale originalLocale

    End Sub

    So what I am doing wrong? Why global variables and other functions do not work. Is it because there is xml code in the script this way or it's a version problem?

    I use DIAdem 10.2. If I use global variables in other vbscripts, I use to draw curves for example I have no problem. Now I'm no *.xml code and no subroutines.

    I'd appreciate any solution that will make my *.xml plugin to work.

    Hi fscommand.

    It is expected all behavior.  Use XML, as all VBScript DataPlugins, runs in a separate VBScript host of the DIAdem VBScript host.  DIAdem VBScript host adds all global variables green and Red controls global to host Microsoft VBScript standard.  Use VBScript host has its own special abilities (file object, root object), but there is NO access to Globals green or red blanket orders in the reception of DIAdem VBScript.  Your SUDialog runs in a third host VBScript, which is separated from the other two and the other two are not capabilities (command SUDialog callback functions), but the SUDialog VBScript host and VBScript tiara share all global variables green and Red orders overall.

    Normally all blue VBScript commands are allowed in all 3 VBScripts hosts, but in the case of the DataPlugins MsgBox and InputBox functions were especially restrained because the dialogues could cause a lot of trouble with the DataFinder.  In fact, they have been allowed to 9.1 tiara which was the latest version of tiara for the DataFinder appear.

    So, why do you want to pass information between the XML use and tiara?  If you want to use to share information with DIAdem, then you should just expose every piece of information as a new property in the data portal, which can read and use the code VBScript DIAdem.  The path of the XML file is already available inside the use of XML.  What other information in the call VBScript DIAdem do you need to share with the use?

  • Global VI on the low level does not change from front panel indicator

    I attributed to a global variable (CMM_SN_Global 3.vi) to a value in a Subvi two levels down from the façade. When I run the VI of Panel before a flag set by the overall does not change even if the global variable is assigned the correct value until later in the program. Shouldn't be an indicator on the Panel before the value assigned to the global as soon as the world is assigned a value. Or is it not true?

    Thank you.

    Chuck M.

    Hi Chuck,

    If you asked for examples:

    What we have here:

    -the select node with these 3 Boolean constants is really absurd (aka RubeGoldberg) the output is always TRUE!

    -l' 'position' indicator belongs outside the case statement, any write on this indicator ("unnecessary local"!)

    -Why is there an additional wait inside the case? Do you really need that as you expect in the while loop?

    -It is not recommended to compare floats for equality - as you do here with the structure of your case when wire you a DBL to the input switch. Why not convert the data itself in full to be on the safe side?

    Then you say: "my plan is to have ten independent loops like the top.

    This is the reason for using subvis. You can have as many loops as you want, but only need to code once the algorithm ("duplicate code").

    More comments on why I recommend some "realignment"?

  • Problem with development of the attribute in the OPS

    Dear all,

    I have a requirement while defining an attribute like below.

    I have a table advanced that I'm the filling of data as below:

    lineNum (Column) POINT

    1                         A

    2                         B

    3                         C

    null                      D

    null                     E

    so my requirement is when I press a button, say "Save" he want to check maximum linenum of the VO and need to set other values as the maximum value + 1 null...

    so it should print as so here maximum line number is 3, so I need to set two values 4 and 5 others

    1                  A

    2                  B

    3                  C

    4                  D

    5                  E

    If the table contains data such as

    A null

    Then it should display as

    1A

    I tried using below piece of code

    for (rowi XXDPECONTAINDATAVORowImpl = (XXDPECONTAINDATAVORowImpl) vo2.first ();)

    Rowi! = null;

    Rowi = (XXDPECONTAINDATAVORowImpl) vo2.next ())

    {

    rowi.setAttribute ("linenum", i);

    i ++ ;

    }

    Using this code it contains all the lines of the definition, but I don't need these lines with null value I need to value maximum linenum + 1, please help me it's urgent


    Thank you
