PowerCli Script to change the VM Options?

• PowerCLI Script to change the DNS servers and domain name

  Hello

  Brand new to PowerCLI, I'm trying to create a script that will change the domain name and the DNS servers of my ESXi servers. I found that I need to update the Vmware.Vim.HostDnsConfig to update these settings. I created the following script and the following error.

  $config = new-Object VMware.Vim.HostDnsConfig
  $config.domainName = "new.domain.com".
  $config.address = new-Object System.String [] (2)
  $config.address [0] = "10.69.69.80".
  $config.address [1] = "10.69.70.80".

  _this $ = get-view-Id "HostNetworkSystem-networkSystem.

  _this $. UpdateDnsConfig ($config)

  You can not call a method on a null value expression.
  

  Line: 1 char: 23
  

  + $_C. UpdateDnsConfig < < < < ($config)
  

  + CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (UpdateDnsConfig:String)], RuntimeException
  

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: InvokeMethodOnNull

  I guessed the error message that I need to a value in the host name, I do not need to change the host name. So I create a variable to remove the host name and place it in the $config. Line received host name but still a mistake because the variable is pulling more information that I need.

  $hostname = get-VMHost | Select name

  $config. Hostname = $hostname

  When I insert the above code I have an error.

  Exception by calling 'UpdateDnsConfig' with '1' or the arguments: ' year error occurred during the configuration of the host.
  Line: 1 char: 23
  + $_C. UpdateDnsConfig < < < < ($config)
  + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: (:)) [], MethodInvocationException)
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: DotNetMethodException

  When I look at the $config I see the following.

  DHCP: false
  VirtualNicDevice:
  HostName: @{Name = ESXI01}
  Domain name: new.domain.com
  Address: {10.69.69.80, 10.69.70.80}
  SearchDomain:
  DynamicType:
  DynamicProperty:

  Of course the @{Name = ESXI01} will not work. Someone can explain how to get a host name in a variable and pass it to the Config.Hostname?
  

  You should be able to do easily by using the command "set-vmhostnetwork.

  I don't think that you can just write to VMWare.Vim.HostDnsConfig.

• Code to change the search option to search QD on the field in the Configuration item on a specific call screen

  We have an obligation to change the search option to search QD on the field in the Configuration item on a specific call screen.

  By default, all our leaders tend to have the default value 'Client' on the field Configuration point QD.  This is the case after that they took the customer on the call screen, when they enter the CI field and press ENTER, it refreshes automatically just the IC, where the selected customer is the owner of the aircraft.

  However, on a screen specific IPK call status, we want the search Configuration option to point QD to always change the option "Config Item Title', not 'customer '.

  No idea how to change this option only if you are using this specific screen and the default value remains the same for all the other forms of appeal?

  Thanks for any help,

  Ian

  Hey Ian!

  Appearently, you can take full control over the default search with a custom script menu item. This is an example how to do this in the Custom_InCallDetails.js file:

  function CustomLoad() {
    var ciqd = da.BTN_ITEM_REFQD;
    if(ciqd){
      var etp = da.ENTITY_TYPE;
      if(etp && etp.value=='7') ciqd.DefaultMenu = "CITYPEQUICK"
      else ciqd.DefaultMenu = "CUSTQUICK";
    }
  }
  

  (change the number 7 to the entity type Ref you need)

  Unfortunately this change script default for a user permanently. So if he had put any custom value before it is crushed.

  If you need to keep the default values personalized search menu, maybe you need further customization to store the user selected value in a wrapper environment and set the value to return if necessary (just an idea).

• Is there a way to change the default options when receiving the Images on parachuting on a mac?

  Is there a way to change the default options when png or JPEG received on a mac? I can choose between backup to the downloads folder, or open photos. I would like to open in preview instead. Any ideas?

  Problem solved. No apparent reason, the two choices (save downloads and open in photos) presented disappeared and now I have the only option I get is to open the image in preview. No idea how this happened, but my problem is solved.

• script to change the data type of column

  Hi gurus of the oracle.

  I have 190 tables in my database.

  I have the column type CHAR of all these tables data.

  I need to change the data type of CHAR in VARCHAR2 for all these tables...

  There the script to change the data type of all tables at once?

  Please help me in this regard.

  Thanks in advance

  Concerning

  REDA

  Hello

  There is nothing built-in to Oracle SQL to do.  Maybe your front-end has certain characteristics.

  You can write dynamic SQL statements to do.  In other words, you can write a query that the output is a SQL script like this:

  ALTER TABLE TABLE_A CHANGE (A_TXT1 VARCHAR2 (5))

  A_TXT2 VARCHAR2 (10));

  ALTER TABLE TABLE_B CHANGE (B_TXT1 VARCHAR2 (5));

  with one row for each column of type CHAR.  Notice how the first line of output for each table begins with ALTER TABLE... but the later lines at the same table.  Similarly, the last line of a table (which will be the same as the first row, if the table has only one column of type CHAR) to end with a semicolon, but other lines are not.

  Here's a way to generate and execute such a dynamic script in SQL * more:

  -Disable the features that make the output easy to read, but hinder the execution
  SET FEEDBACK OFF
  SET LINESIZE 500
  SET PAGESIZE 0

  -Create fix_char.sql
  COIL c:\some_pathename\fix_char.sql

  SELECT THE CHECK BOX
  WHEN ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY table_name
  ORDER BY column_name
  )  = 1
  THEN 'ALTER TABLE ' | table-name
  || "CHANGE (").
  ELSE «»
  END
  ||        column_name
  ||        "VARCHAR2 (').
  ||        DATA_LENGTH
  ||        ')'
  ||        CASE
  WHEN ROW_NUMBER () OVER (PARTITION BY table_name
  ORDER BY column_name DESC
  )  = 1
  THEN '); "
  Output END AS
  Of user_tab_columns
  WHERE data_type = "CHAR".
  ORDER BY table_name
  column_name
  ;

  SPOOL OFF

  -Turn on the features that make the output easy to read, but hinder the execution
  SET FEEDBACK ON
  SET LINESIZE 80
  SET PAGESIZE 50

  -Fix_char.sql performance
  @c:\some_pathname\fix_char

  It's good to change all the CHARIOT of VARCHAR2 columns.  The CHAR data type is nothing trouble.

  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

• Change the default options for a NEW virtual machine in ESXI 5.1

  Hello

  I am looking for a solution change the 'default' options for a new virtual machine created in ESXI 5.1

  I want to have parameters such as 'cpu/memory HOT-add' default to enabled instead of disabled.

  There may be more options to change to a new virtual machine.

  All those who have an option to change the 'default' options for new virtual machines?

  THX

  You can change the/etc/vmware/config of vSphere host file and add the lines mem.hotadd = 'TRUE' and vcpu.hotadd = 'TRUE '.
  The settings then apply to any VM on this host when virtual machines are turned on...

  I just tried this on a 5.1 ESXi host and it seems to work perfectly...

• Script to change the subnet and vlan.

  Hello

  Please can anyone help with a script to change the subnet and VLANs on all the esx host in a cluster for the vmotion and management network interface?

  Thank you

  Astra

  I guess it worked because you pasted an out front, so:

  Get-Cluster mycluster. Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | where {$_.} PortGroupName - eq "VMotion"} | {} %
  Game-VMHostNetworkAdapter - VirtualNic $_ - IP $_. IP - subnet mask "255.255.254.0" - confirm: $false
  }

  I guess that makes still out:

  Get-Cluster mycluster. Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter | where {$_.} PortGroupName - eq "VMotion"}

  2 vmknis right?

  If Yes, then it should work I think.

• Script to change the settings for security vSwith

  We need a script to change the settings for security vSwitch.

  To change the below: -.

  Mac changes Accept Reject

  Forged pass Accept Reject

  The two parameters above must change on all the vSwitch in vcenter.

  Altogether. Pass an argument to Get-VMHost

  If you pass the complete hostname (as he shows in vCenter), it will act on the single host:

  Get-VMHost MYESXi01.mydomain.com

  or if you want to do more, you can pass a joker:

  Get-VMHost MYESXi*.mydomain .com

  FWIW, I think that should do the same thing on a single line, if you like this better

  Get-VMhost|%{$hv=Get-View $_.ID;$ns=$hv.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem;($hv.Config.Network.Vswitch)|%{$vs=$_.Spec;$vs.Policy.Security.AllowPromiscuous=$false;$vs.Policy.Security.ForgedTransmits=$false; $vs.Policy.Security.MacChanges=$false;$ns.UpdateVirtualSwitch($_.Name,$vs)}}

• Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files

  Hello

  I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.

  Thanks in advance!

  Not really as much as I know.

  The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.

  The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.

  With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.
