Powering down VMs and ESXi via SSH

Hello

I need;

(1) stop all virtual machines running on the host ESXi

(2) then stop this ESXi host

How to achieve this via SSH?

Thank you.

I found it much easier to do via PowerCLI...

$vc = vcenter1

$dc = 'Center '.

SE connect-VIServer $vc

# Gets the list of all virtual machines in the data center (except the vCenter VM itself)

$vms = get-data center-name $dc | Get - VM | where {$_. - don't $vc name - and $_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"}

# Stop the virtual machines in the data center located in a State power.

{Foreach ($vm to $vms)

if($VM.) {ExtensionData.Config.Tools.ToolsVersion - only '0')}

stop #gracefully

Stop-VMGuest - VM $vm - confirm: $false

sleep - 60 seconds

}

#forcefully VM stop

Stop-VM - $vm VM - confirm: $false

}

# Stop vCenter VM (comment if vCenter is not virtual)

sleep - 120 seconds

Stop-VMGuest - VM $vc - confirm: $false

    Hi PhilippD!

    It seems that you have reached a vice that crept into the manipulation of workstation s 9.0.2' of remote USB devices.  We have fixed the problem in our internal versions of workstation, but until an updated version is made public, it seems that you need to roll back to the workstation 9.0.1 if you need to work around the problem.

    Sorry for the inconvenience!

  • Difference between Shell ESXi and active with SSH PuTTY?

    Hello

    We used to activate SSH and PuTTY to connect to 5.5 ESXi host.

    However, a consultant suggested allow ESXi Shell and access it via DCUI.

    Would just like to ask you what is the difference between these 2 methods of access?

    Thank you

    Accusing Shell of ESXi is available by using two different ways.

    (1) local access to the shell of ESXi is available turning and by using directly from DCUI (Alt + F1), safer, since it is connected locally

    (2) remove access to the shell of ESXi is available by activating SSH Shell and using the SSH Client such as PUTTY etc to access. Since it is remote access, security is a bit of a cause for concern.

    This is the reason, the suggestion to use locally DCUI is given.

  • Command update the esxi update 5.1 to 5.1 2 via SSH

    Could someone send me the command update ESXi 5.1 5.1U2? (assuming I already downloaded and copied the update to the host)

    I know it's something like esxcli the software profile install d [something, something, etc.], but I think that I've got the syntax.

    THX!

    VMware KB: Installation of patches on an ESXi host from the command-line 5.x

    1. Download the update and transfer it to any store of data that is available for the ESXi host
    2. Connect to the host via SSH ESXi
    3. Put the ESXi host in maintenance mode.

    # vim - cmd hostsvc/maintenance_mode_enter

    4. go to the directory on the data store where the patch file was transferred to and verify that the file exists:

    # cdvmfs/volumes/Datastore/DirectoryName
    # ls

    Verify that you can see the file that you downloaded. I guess that the file you downloaded is in zip format. In this case,.

    5 # software esxcli vib install d ' "/vmfs/volumes/Datastore/DirectoryName/PatchName.zip".

    More options are in VMware KB. Please see that as well.

  • 'customer support files required' problem connecting using vSphere via SSH tunnel

    I am trying to connect to my ESX Server using the vSphere by tunnel via SSH client. I did in the past, but it does not work now. I am fwding ports appropriate (443, 902, 903) and have done the "hosts" file entry appropriate, as well. When I try to connect, I get the expected certificate error, and when I reject, I get a dialog box saying that I need to download the "required client supports files ', and of course I can't download them from the site vsphereclient.vmware.com while I'm in the tunnel. I'm confused about why I get this message, because I can connect to the ESX Server using the installed version of vSphere, if I directly (i.e. without a SSH tunnel).

    Any thoughts? I am in urgent need of remotely administer my VMs, any help would be most appreciated.

    It turns out that VMWare Workstation is listening on these ports, and PuTTY tunneling is silently failing... so it seems that I connect to my ESX box, but not really. Deactivation of VMware Workstation, Server and the authorization server to fix it.

  • interoperability between Workstation 6.5 and ESXi 4.0.0

    We have a few copies of VMWare Workstation (and I love ), and also have a bunch of VMWare Server 2.0 running.  We are evaluating if we move our VMs to ESXi 4.0 in the VMWare Server environment.

    Big question in my mind is the interoperability between the workstation and ESXi 4.0.  We are a software development shop, therefore mostly use virtual machines for testing of different software configurations.

    Server was ideal for this because we could freely copy VMs autour between our machines of the workstation and servers.

    It seems that, do this with ESXi, to "convert" back?

    I guess my question boils down to "what is required to move a virtual VMWare Workstation 6.5 and ESXi 4.0 machine?"  I tried to copy a few virtual machines on to ESXi in workstation and keep we get an error failed to load the scsi drive if you forgot to import.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    You can create the "monolithicFlat" type when you create a new virtual machine you want to pre-allocate disk - then also choose to use unsplitted.

    You can also use vmware-vdiskmanager change existing VMDK.

    It's how you work?

    Oh dear - I guess you won't know that I'm a very experimental user - I like to play with different formats - I'd like to trash the VMs and try to fix them...

    Anyway - during such "employment", I found out how to move between ESX and on the reverse with a minimum of work.

    Result: I use ESX virtual machines inside the workstation without any conversion.

    Only the way on the other side of ESX needs a small edit. But still no need to run vmkfs-tools or converter.

    If you want to I explain with one of your examples.

    Only one condition: diskformat must be "monolithicFlat" = a prealloue piece and snapshots are not allowed.

    Besides - I took notes on that here:

    http://sanbarrow.com/VMDK/monolithicFlat-with-WS-and-ESX.html

  • Deletion of snapshots via SSH

    I have a RN102 with 2x3TB red WD leads to XRAID2. I deleted all my photos except one (instant action is 191 GB). However, snapshots take up a lot of space:

    He has not recovered "over time", so I thought to delete manually via SSH. My gaze of 5 actions 4 like this where each record contains a lot of data (taken copies of my actions):

    Would I ruin anything by deleting them?

    Also, is it the result of a bug? Why space is not recovered when I delete images via the GUI?

    Thank you!

    Here are the shots that have not been successfully upgraded when you updated of the pre - 6.2.x 6.2.x firmware (or later).

    You could do

    # touch .force_snapshots_upgrade
    # systemctl restart readynasd

    These shots should then be upgraded and you can then delete the admin web UI.

    The space is recovered only when you delete pictures if the snapshots that you delete contains the only copy of certain data. If the current data or snapshots that you do not delete also contain spatial data not to be released to the top. Also, when you delete snapshots that the system will have to recursively update other snapshots. It can take some time if you have many snapshots.

    Once you have removed all the clichés that you want and the use of volume of less than 80% return, I would say that you then run a balance.

    Hello

    Perform the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Try to do a restore of the system of the Windows Recovery console using the Vista disc. Read the following article to do the same thing:What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-are-the-system-recovery-options-in-Windows-Vista

    Method 2:

    You can try to access the Windows Recovery console prompt and see if you can manually remove Service Pack 1 on your computer. Here are the steps to remove Service Pack 1:

    1. open a window to the Windows Recovery console command prompt.

    2. run the following command, depending on the version of the Windows Vista service that you want to uninstall:

    • For Windows Vista Service Pack 1: C:\temp\Windows6.0-KB936330-X86.exe x:C:\temp

    Note

    This command assumes that the file Windows6. 0 - KB936330.exe is located in the C:\Temp folder

    3. He must create a sandbox environment before you can continue to step 4. This allows you to manage safely an untrusted program. To create a sandbox, type md, sandbox.

    4. to remove the Windows Vista service pack, type or copy and paste the following command, depending on the version of the Windows Vista service that you want to uninstall:

    • For Windows Vista Service Pack 1: start /w pkgmgr.exe /m:c:\temp\Windows6.0-KB936330-X86.cab /up s:sandbox

    In this command, NNN is x 86, x 64, or IA-64.

    If these steps successfully uninstall the service pack of Windows Vista, and this resolves the issue, you are finished.

    Here is an article that will give you different methods on how to remove Service Pack 1:

  • Allowing ICMP and Telnet via a PIX 525

    We are trying to build a new block of distribution to our backbone WAN. We are experiencing a problem when establishing ICMP and Telnet via the PIX. The following is known:
