• Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

  Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

  I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

  I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

  I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

  You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

• Host to Active Directory integration

  Hi, I'm trying to locate any information or not there's a vSphere license level required for the integration of commercials for ESXi hosts.  I found one of the VCP5 online documentation had answers for one of their questions of practice indicating that Enterprise Plus was a requirement with vCenter Standard edition.  No one knows for sure if it's true?

  If so, you would happen to have any documentation of license VMware which States that?

  Thank you!

  I'm not aware of this requirement and you can learn more about these links:

  Configure a host to use Active Directory in the Web Client vSphere

  Join the ESX hosts to Active Directory. VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

  What you read may be on Enterprise Plus is that any time we use Host Profiles to reset the local root password and use the host profiles you'll really need the Enterprise Plus edition.

• Script for a specific host info

  Hi all

  Totally new to powershell/powercli...

  Have been out successfully a report to csv format to view the details of ESXi hosts. I know that's not the best scenario, but it does the trick so far.

  My question is (as I couldn't find properties for this): can we get information about the DIMM (s) installed on ESXi hosts and add to the script?

  Comments are appreciated

  $filename = "c:\reports\HostDetails_" + $filedate + ".csv".

  Get-vmhost | Select Name, @{Name = "DNS"; {Expression = {$_.NetworkInfo}}, @{Name = 'File'; Expression = {$_.} Parent}}, @{Name = "Standalone"; Expression = {$_.} IsStandalone}}, @{Name = 'ESXi Version'; Expression = {$_.} Version}}, @{Name = "ESXi Build"; Expression = {$_.} Build}}, @{Name = 'Model HW'; Expression = {$_.} Model}}, @{Name = "Processor Type"; Expression = {$_.} ProcessorType}}, @{Name = "Total RAM"; Expression = {[math]: tour ($_.)} (MemoryTotalGB, 0)}}, @{Name = "BIOS Version"; Expression = {$_.} ExtensionData.hardware.biosinfo.BiosVersion}}, @{Name = 'BIOS release Date'; Expression = {$_.} ExtensionData.hardware.BiosInfo.ReleaseDate}} | Export-csv $filename - NoType

  The best and most of the time the only way to recover the info is through the interface of the CIM.

  Try the attached script (updated the hostname and credentials)...

• PowerCLI script to validate all hosts in vCenter Intel VT enabled or not

  Hello

  I have a vCenter which has about 50-60 5.0 ESXi host. Who has recently been installed which has Intel processor. I want to just make sure that all the hosts intel VT enabled or not. If anyone has the script PowerCLI to validate this please share it with us. Thanks in advance.

  You can not just do

  $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost "esx1.local.test"

  and check the value of the property of HVSupport?

• Should the RAM for an ESXi host replaced the same ones remaining?

  Hello

  We are running a cluster of servers ESXi 5.1 - 2 of them are Xeon E7440 2.4 GHz (64 GB of RAM) and 1 of them is Xeon X 5460 3.16 GHz (32 GB of RAM).

  Currently, the use of the memory of all three ESXi hosts are about 60%.

  We will replace the Xeon X 5460 server with a new physical server.  We would like to ask for your opinion how much RAM you must order (my manager of door on the cost of the new server).

  Thank you

  Hi again Tony,

  1. No, it is not high at all. You should begin to worry about this, after reaching approximately 85-90%.
  2. My short experience with clusters of memory-unbalanced, adding that more memory would be a lot like the DRS manages memory locations & 'kindness host' in the right direction, but I'm not really sure how that would turn out in the long term. If you decide to present more memory to your server, it would be possible to upgrade the other two guests sooner than later
  3. Yes, ask the seller would be the right thing to do. Please note that you will need to put in place an enhanced vMotion to conform to your next "older" CPU then, because you'll have something other than X 5460. I guess you'll have to "intensify" a generation or two, depending on what you have found.

• Migrate the replication for patching ESXi host device

  Hi guys,.
  

  
  

  I'm trying to Storage vMotion/migrate vSphere replication device to different host for ESXi patches. I get the following message
  
  "This entity is managed by VR management solution. It is not recommended to edit it directly. Instead use the GPMC for the solution if you want to make changes. You want to proceed. "
  
  I use vSpere replication without the SRM device. What is the best approach to upgrade ESXi host where there is replication Appliacce. Should I just stop then move the unit, or is it possible to move it while it is running?

  
  

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Moving the unit via the technology Vmware is perfectly fine.

  The message/warning you receive is just to warn you that this VM is a critic and you must be careful. The same message if you invoke the power out of this machine.

• You will need to run the script for some ESX hosts.

  Dear team,

  I m connected to 4 esx host, but I want to run the script only 2 esx host asking you to help me how to do?

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  You could start the script with the cmdlet Get-VMhost to select only the two hosts that you want to output to. For example:

  Get-VMHost host1, host2. Get - VM

  Displays only the virtual machine running on host1 and host2.

• Sizing of prescriptions for IOPS ESXi hosts / s

  Hello!

  I was managing a few ESXi hosts in multiple data centers and we begin to look at options to consolidate the virtual machines on a shared storage to take advantage of vMotion and HA.

  Reading communities and various Springs around the ' net, I learned that a good indication of the Ops ARE / s by the ESXi can be calculated from the graph of disk performance using read and write requests, then dividing the values by periods of graph (20 years in my case).

  Now the question arises: should I add up all the values of the OPS are / s each ESXi host that will be connected (and using) the SAN or is there another way to calculate that?

  I am calculating the IOPS / s, still using the values of each graph MAX.

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  > Now the question arises: should I add up all the values of the OPS are / s each ESXi host that will be connected (and using) the SAN or is there another way to calculate that?

  There is some great information on the site about Of Scott Drummonds .

  Good luck!

• Create the Script to fill the SimpleDisplayName attribute Active Directory Exchange

  Hello

  I want to implement the use of SimpleDisplyNames in my Exchange 2010 environment. After my research, I can see that, if the SimpleDisplayName attribute is enabled and left empty it just goes to show the SMTP address for the external recipients. so to say that I need a way to fill all current users SimpleDisplayName attributes with their Displayname and I'll manually change a few users who have to be modified.

  My question is, can someone help me with something of a powershell script that can run through all AD and make the change for me? I want them all have their display name (first and last) in the LEAGUE.

  Thanks in advance

• ACS 5.3 join two different directories Active Directory without reply in the ad.

  Hello my name is Ivan:

  I have a question...

  Can join GBA 5.3 to two different Active Directory directories that are in two different networks for the use of eap peap mschap v 2, with 2 different certificates, to authenticate users in a wireless network?

  I have

  AD 1 in the newtork with Certification Authority 1 10.25.1.0/24

  AD 2 in the network 192.168.10.0/24 with Certification Authority 2

  There is no replicate in the 14:00 users in AD 1 are totally diferent from the AD 2.

  Both of their ad I want to join my ACS 5.3.

  How can I do?

  Thanks for your replies.

  Concerning

  Here are a few things we can think in your scenario.

  >            You cannot integrate the same ACS server directly to two different areas of AD (AD1, AD2). With ACS 5.3, all you can do, establish 2-way trust between domains (AD1, AD2). This way users of the area approved by ACS installed in the local domain can authenticate. You must add a UPN or the prefix NETBIOS suffix (e.g. [email protected] / * /-name) for the user name when is authenticating with a domain (Trusted one) that the ACS is not joined to, including child domains.

  >           However, with ACS 5.4, you can join the nodes of the same deployment GBA to different areas of the AD. However, each node can be attached to a single AD domain.

  ACS 5.4 primary - domain a.

  5.4 ACS secondary - domain B

  >            I'm not going to give an option to integrate ACS with LDAP as an identity database because LDAP does not support Peap Mschapv2 so any object of setting up the EAP authentication will fail.

  It will be useful.

• PowerCLI script for peripheral target HBA paths

  I need to quickly check the guests in my groups, see all of them have the right number of targets, the devices and the HBA paths. I can see this information in vCenter. Not an easy task if you have 100 + guests. Someone at - it script PowerCLI for this info?

  Before 4.1 PowerCLI builds it takes only a small adjustment.

  $esx = Get-VMHost 
  
  foreach($hba in (Get-VMHostHba -VMHost $esx -Type "FibreChannel")){
       $target = ((Get-View $hba.VMhost).Config.StorageDevice.ScsiTopology.Adapter | where {$_.Adapter -eq $hba.Key}).Target

• PowerCLI script for VMFS datastore list with ID NAA and latency?

  Hi all

  Can anyone here please share a script, or help me to change the PowerCLI to display the store name of VMFS data, capacity and NAA.ID and latency in the past 24 hours?

  So far I can only use the WHowe script below:

  $esxName = "PRODESXi10".

  SE PRODVCENTER01-connect-VIServer-Server "VM".

  New-VIProperty-name lunDatastoreName - ObjectType ScsiLun-Value {}

  Param ($LUN)

  $ds = $lun. VMHost.ExtensionData.Datastore | % {Get-view $_} | `

  where {$_.} Summary.Type - eq "VMFS" - and

  (_.Info.Vmfs.Extent $ |) where {$_.} DiskName - eq $lun. CanonicalName})}

  {if ($DS)}

  $ds. Name

  }

  } - Force | Out-Null

  Get-VMHost-name $esxName | Get-ScsiLun | Select CanonicalName, CapacityMB, lunDatastoreName

  Thanks in advance,

  But you easily add a timestamp.

  Get-Datastore.

  Select Name,

  @{N = "DateTime"; E = {Get-DateTime}},

  @{N = "CanonicalName"; E = {$_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent [0].} DiskName}},

  @{N = 'Latency'; E = {}

  $esx = @(get-View-Id $_.) ExtensionData.Host.Key | Get - VIObjectByVIView)

  $instance = $_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Uuid

  $stat = 'datastore.totalReadLatency.average ','datastore.totalWriteLatency.average '.

  $stats = get-Stat-entity $esx - Stat $stat - Realtime - MaxSamples 1 - Instance $instance

  ($stats |) Measure-object-property - average value. Select - ExpandProperty average) /($esx.) Count * 2)

  Thanks in advance!

  -Philippe.

  You can do something like this.

  But be aware that it will not report VMHost, Clusters and data centers that do not have any virtual computer in them.

  {foreach ($dc in Get-Data Center)

  foreach ($cluster Get-cluster-location $dc) {}

  foreach ($esx in Get-VMHost-location $cluster) {}

  Get-VM-location $esx |

  Select @{N = 'Center'; E = {$dc. Name}},

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

  @{N = "$vmhost"; E = {$esx. Name}}, name

  }

  }

  }
