• I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

  Hi gurrus and LucD

  I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

  The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.

  Concerning

  Nauman

  Try like this

  $report = @)

  {foreach ($cluster Get-cluster)

  foreach ($rp in Get-ResourcePool-location $cluster) {}

  foreach ($vm in (Get-VM-location the $rp |)) Where {Get-NetworkAdapter - VM $_______ | where {$_.}} Type - eq "e1000"}})) {}

  $report += $vm. Select @{N = "VM"; E={$_. Name}},

  @{N = 'vCenter'; E={$_. Uid.Split('@') [1]. "Split(':') [0]}},"

  @{N = "Cluster"; E = {$cluster. Name}},

  @{N = "ResourcePool"; E = {$rp. Name}}

  }

• Can write us "PowerCLI Script" to get the details of card RAID HP (Firmware & Driver)?

  Can write us "PowerCLI Script" to get the details of card RAID HP (Firmware & Driver)

  For example: native ESX command below shows desired output for me.

  But we needed equality PowerCLI ESX command below script

  # cat/proc/driver/cciss/cciss0

  cciss0: HP Smart Array P400i controller

  Board ID: 0x3235103c

  Firmware version: 7.22# cat/proc/driver/hpsa/hpsa0

  Board ID: 0x3245103c

  Firmware version: 5,70

  Driver version: HP HPSA driver (v 5.0.0 - 17vmw)

  The extracted following PowerCLI you will get server and type of controller, firmware version and the hpsa/Smart Storage Array controllers driver version based of:

  Get-VMhost | Sort | Select Name, Model,@{N='Controller Type'; E={(Get-VMHostHba -VMHost $_ | ? {$_.Model -imatch '.*(hpsa|smart).*'}).Model}},@{N='Controller Firmware'; E={($_.ExtensionData.Runtime.HealthSystemRuntime.SystemHealthInfo.NumericSensorInfo | ? {$_.Name -like '*hpsa*firmware*'}).Name}},@{N='hpsa Driver Version'; E={($_.ExtensionData.Runtime.HealthSystemRuntime.SystemHealthInfo.NumericSensorInfo | ? {$_.Name -like '*scsi-hpsa*'}).Name}} | Format-Table -Autosize

• PowerCLI script to migrate virtual machines to the new vCenter environment

  Hello world

  in the next few weeks, we need about migrate 700 VMs (Windows/Linux) server to a new environment (new vCenter, new hosts, but VMs will remain on same data warehouses). VMs will be migrated not in one batch, but rather from time to time (which, however, can understand the need to migrate some 10s of virtual machines at the same time).

  Cluster names and folder structure will be identical to the old and the new vCenters. As host in the new vCenter names differ from those in the old vCenter, thought to provide a table of 'translation', which tells the script to save a given VM on host B (new vCenter) when having been registered in order to host a (old vCenter) and so on.

  I thought writing a PowerCLI script which, broadly speaking, can accomplish the following steps:

  • Connect to vCenterOld and vCenterNew
  • Correspondence table of host to read from a file (see step "register VM vCenterNew below)

  Then, in a loop:

  • Ask VM name
  • Get the settings of the virtual machine: Datastore/path, network/Portgroup, HA restart priority, host, folder, note
  • View the parameters and the VM name and request confirmation migrate the virtual machine
  • Turn off VM (closed OS gracefully, but force power off if power status is still not equal 'off' after a time given)
  • To unsubscribe from VM vCenterOld (removal of inventory)
  • Registry of the VM to the data store vCenterNew (assumptions: same folder as vCenterOld, host names are different, but for each source in vCenterOld host a host of destination in vCenterNew for you join the virtual machine to can be provided, that is, CSV)
  • The value of VM portgroup (same name as in vCenterOld)
  • Set VM HA restart priority
  • PowerON VM
  • Wait / check the VM (for example, ping) connectivity / continue immediately if the virtual machine is accessible or after a certain time if the virtual machine is still inaccessible
  • Confirm that the virtual machine has been migrated successfully, OR ask the user to check the connectivity of the virtual machine

  Now to my questions:

  • Is anyone know about an existing script that does something similar or contains parts that can be useful to compile a script like this?
  • How can vCenter two connections at the same time been managed within a PowerCLI script - or doesn't work at all and a connect/disconnect to/from the two vCenters must be completed for each virtual computer?

  Many thanks for any help.

  The following seems to work for me

  $vm = Get-VM -Name MyVM$nic = Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $vm $vdPG = $nic | select -ExpandProperty NetworkName
  
  Get-VDPortgroup -Name $vdPG
  

• PowerCLI script to list the df - hl on all ESX hosts?

  Hi Expert,

  I have more than 100 esx host, and I need to list all the df - hl out for my report. Y at - it instead of connect on each esx host to get under output, powercli script that I can use to remove similar information?

  Please advice. Thank you

  Are you allowed to enable SSH on servers ESX (i)?

  And are you allowed to establish a SSH session on each ESX (i) Server?

  You have an account and a password on each ESX (i) server that can run the command 'df '?

  If it is Yes, then you can use something like plink.exe in consequence of PuTTY to connect to each ESX (i) server, run the command "df" and retrieve the output.

  There are several available examples to use plink.

  And don't forget that you will need a fingerprint for each server ESX (i) will be stored on the client from which you are running the script.

• The package PowerCLI script in the Windows executable file / install

  What are the options for packaging / embed PowerCLI script in Windows. EXE file? I would like for several departments to be able to run and collect information from the script without having direct access to the code. This would ensure that the code has been correctly run without modification.

  I know that PowerCLI will be available on these systems, searching for the PowerCLI is not necessary.

  I read that the Primal Script has this ability, but I want a solution that is free and easy to use, if possible.

  If it is not an executable file, maybe even a file coded which makes it difficult for a layman to make changes.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  I used a similar function of Johan Akerstrom in the past (since I don't have the community installed Extensions).

  See his post Powershell script to generate an executable from a powershell script .

  For this one, I know there is no problem with parameter passing.

  Take this example script

  param(
  [parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string[]]$server)
  
  [void][system.reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
  Add-PSSnapin -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Core
  
  Connect-VIServer -Server $server[windows.forms.messagebox]::Show("Connected to " + $defaultViServer.Name)
  $VM = Get-VM[windows.forms.messagebox]::Show("I counted " + $VM.Count + " guests")
  
  Disconnect-VIServer -Confirm:$false
  

  Note that the script uses Windows Forms to the output data.

  You create the EXE file as follows. I recorded the example script under DoExeTest.ps1

  PS C:\Scripts >.\DoExeTest.ps1 new-PSExecutable
  Script source file: C:\Scripts\DoExeTest.ps1
  Output executable: C:\Scripts\doexetest.exe

  And when you run this, it displays 2 message boxes, one with the name of the vCenter and the other with the number of guests, the script is located in the vCenter.

  C:\Scripts>doexetest.exe 'Site '.

• Problems with PowerCLI script variables

  Hello

  I hope that someone in the community can tell me where I was wrong in the script below. I have a few other PowerCLI scripts that work in a way similar to this work and these, but this one has a problem. The script is intended to collect information on a number of ESX objects in an array of arrays, $reportfinal, which can then be written to a CSV file that will have the column names for the objects, and each line will yield the values for RDM related objects for each virtual computer. The problem is that, rather than add the results to the table of $reportfinal, the results are crushed, and worse still, the values repeat themselves (for example the size of the various disks is reported as the same value).

  $report = @)

  $reportfinal = @)

  $VMs = get-VMHost | Get - VM | Get-View

  $rowcoll = "" | Select the virtual machine, VMController, SCSIBusShare, SCSIBusNumber, SCSIUnitNo, DeviceLabel, SCSISummary, DeviceFilename, DeviceCapKB, DeviceDiskMode, DeviceDiskUUID

  {ForEach ($VM to $VMs)

  #Clear table report for each virtual computer

  $report = @)

  Foreach ($SCSI_Controller in ($VM. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.} (({DeviceInfo.Label - like "SCSI *"})) {}

  $rowcoll. VM = $VM. Name

  $rowcoll. VMController = $SCSI_Controller.DeviceInfo.Label

  {Foreach ($Disk_Key to $SCSI_Controller.Device)}

  Foreach ($Disk_Device in ($VM. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_.key - eq $Disk_Key})) {}

  $rowcoll. SCSIBusShare = $SCSI_Controller.SharedBus

  $rowcoll. SCSIBusNumber = $SCSI_Controller.BusNumber

  $rowcoll. SCSIUnitNo = $Disk_Device.UnitNumber

  $rowcoll. DeviceLabel = $Disk_Device.DeviceInfo.Label

  $rowcoll. SCSISummary = $SCSI_Controller.DeviceInfo.Summary

  $rowcoll. DeviceFilename = $Disk_Device.Backing.Filename

  $rowcoll. DeviceCapKB = $Disk_Device.CapacityInKB

  $rowcoll. DeviceDiskMode = $Disk_Device.Backing.DiskMode

  $rowcoll. DeviceDiskUUID = $Disk_Device.Backing.UUID

  }

  }

  }

  #Append the next line of the report data collection

  $report += $rowcoll

  #Append the next report to the final report data collection

  $reportfinal += $report

  }

  $reportfinal | Export-Csv-path D:\temp\SAP_Report_Disks_RDM_Mappings.csv - NoTypeInformation

  Note: Some parts of the script came another announcement on this forum about a script to display the ROW information for the list of virtual machines.

  See you soon,.

• PowerCLI script to display the number of vCPU by VMhost use

  Hi all

  I'm looking to get help here with powerCLI script to list each total number of ESXi vCPU host that is used to determine if there are any ESXi host CPU is more engaged.

  According to suggestion of performance in some blog vExpert, is around 1: 3 of Jepp core ratio: vCPU allocated, then how to display the report with the powerCLI for something like this:

  PRODESXi01
  Total of nuclei available: 32
  Used by the virtual machine: 28

  PRODESXi02
  Total of nuclei available: 32
  Used by the virtual machine: 38

  So according to the result above, the PRODESXi02 is more committed by 6vCPU allocated to the virtual machine.

  Note: The available total carrots is taken from the value of logical processors from the contents tab, when you click on the vSphere console.

  How to get this report using PowerCLI?

  Thank you

  You mean something like this?

  {Foreach ($esx in Get-VMHost)

  $vCPU = get-VM-location $esx | Measure-object-property NumCpu-sum | Select - ExpandProperty sum

  $esx | Select Name,@{N='pCPU'; E={$_. NumCpu}},

  @{N = 'vCPU'; E = {$vCPU}},

  @{N = "Ratio"; E = {[math]: Round ($vCPU / $_.)} (NumCpu, 1)}}

• Collection for the PowerCLI scripting requirements

  Someone at - it a good model that helps you organize information, gathering process when you go to the management or to a customer to get for scripts and automation requirements that they want to do?  Y at - it a Web page or a book that puts this kind of thing in a structured methodology or at least one practical how to guide?

  For example, what kinds of questions should I go to make sure that I understand any of my script is supposed to do and help the management or the customer understand what THEY want to do, and get a consensus agreement on the functional requirements for my powerCLI script?

  Your suggestions of entry, welcome masters strategies.

  This question is not really unique for PowerCLI scripting, but all scripts/programs, to write (for yourself or for a customer |).

  And of course, there are always the classic answer "it depends".

  If it is a small task that you write yourself, the requirements are pretty obvious.

  Most of the time, you have the requirements in your head, but it does not have to write in schematic form.

  When you write for a customer, by definition be more formal (I guess).

  An article I like, is the Introduction to gather our creative use cases and requirements published in the Code review.
