• Change the PowerCLI Script to use the DRS and DRS storage

  Hello

  I have a PowerCLI script that specifies a host and a data store to create a new virtual machine, which has served us well. Now we have activated the DRS and DRS storage and I wonder what to change in order to take advantage of these features. Are there commands to specify a cluster and the cluster data store and let the DRS to decide the initial investment for a new virtual machine? At the moment we put all hosts and the warehouses of data as variables and use them in the line below.

  Thank you.

  $newVM = New-VM-name $NewVMname - VM $TemplateName Datastore - $datastore - VMHost $vHost - confirm: $false - location $myName

  You set a Datastorecluster?

  If Yes, then you can replace the value of parameter data with the datastorecluster object store.

  Replacing a VMHost with a cluster is not taken in charge I'm afraid.

  But you can use something like this

  New-VM-name TestVM Datastore - DSC - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster-name mycluster |) Get - Resourcepool - name of resources)

  This will automatically select the VMHost.

  The virtual machine appears in the root of the cluster.

  DSC is the name of a datastorecluster in the cluster mycluster

• Script to generate the sys files os trail audit report

  Hello

  We have a large database, where 1000 bone trail files are generated every day.   Except sys, we get all the information lo - Gin of dba_audit_trail.

  But the listener wants the audit information sys too.

  It is very difficult to manually move all the files in the operating system. I tried to make a script to generate a report. But I do not succeed until now.

  If you have any of you have used or by using a similar script to generate a report of os audit .aud file sys. Please provide that.

  Also let me if there is another way to collect audit sys information easily.

  Thanks and greetings

  Hi berang,.

  I wrote an article (http://www.dbarj.com.br/en/2014/10/retrieve-oracle-sysdba-audit-os-files-inside-table/) explaining exactly how to do it using the external Table with preprocessor function.

  Why don't you take a look and fit the need? I hope you enjoy.

• 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

  hpsa0: HP Smart Array P410i controller

  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

• 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.

• Y at - there a big difference between the base of the m3 and m5 models?

  I had my m3 2016 Macbook for a week so just thought I would ask so that I have time to exchange it if need be. I wondered outside storage space, y at - it a big difference in processors Core of m3 and m5? Apple uses a "customized" version of the processors? I ask because Apple lists the m3 1.1 Ghz but not apple models are call at 900 mhz.

  The processor is clocked at 1.1 Ghz. There are different models made by Intel, including that which is supposed to be clocked at 900 Mhz. Apple does not use a customized version of the CPU. The differences between the M3 and M5 model is displayed on the Intel Web site. Among the differences are the M5 is clocked at a higher speed and the M5 is generally about 15-20% faster than the M3 at the same clock speed.

• Is it possible to use GPFS or another build is a SAN storage shared for multiple ESX and ESXi hosts?

  We have a license GPFS and SAN storage. I am trying to create a storage shared for multiple ESX and ESXi hosts share existing virtual machines. We tried once NFS, it of a little slow and consume too much bandwidth LAN.

  Anyone can help answer? Thank you very much in advance!

  It depends on your storage space.

  You must connect all hosts to the same San, then follow the configuration guide of ESXi and specific documentation for your storage space (for sharing LUNS on multiple hosts).

• 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)}}

  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.

• PowerCLI script to check the setting of syslog on a whole cluster?

  Hey guys,.

  I'm looking for a way to check the setting configured for syslog remote on a large cluster of ESXi. Is it possible to easily check by cluster?
