  • Changing the DNS server for ESX hosts?

    Our network administrator will change the IP address of the DNS server.  In this way, we will change those corresponding to ESX hosts.

    We would like to know

    (1) can we change the DNS server on execution of the ESX hosts without going into maintenance mode?

    (2) under what circumstances the ESX host will do use DNS servers?

    (3) memory, we should add all the IP addresses of ESX host in the hosts file in the Service Console, where is this hosts file located at?

    Thank you

    Tony,

    Use "service network restart" command to restart the network service

    Do not forget also that...

    Very dependent on DNS HA, HA will not work without the correct DNS configuration. The servers ESX and vCenter server must be able to resolve the name (FQDN full) / IPs in both feel to get a working HA.

    Hello

    You can try something like this:

    AF | panelBox::content label, af | panelBox::content, af | panelBox::content entry, af | panelBox::content select {}

    your style

    }

    At least the style of the components you named should be changed. If you need more you can add others.

  • script to pull the VMTools version for all of the VM?

    Do we have the script to extract the VMTools version for all the virtual machines?

    with powershell, you can use:

    Get - vm | Get-View | Select Name, @{Name = "VMWareToolVersion"; {Expression = {$_.config.tools.toolsversion}}

    or:

    Get - vm | Get-VMGuest | Select VMName Toolsversion

    with esxcli I would do it similar to (sorry, but I don't know the syntax of the shell):

    Vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms | SED ' 1 of | AWK '{print $1}' (to gett all the VM ID)

    then for each ID I would do this:

    Vim - cmd vmsvc/get.config 12 | grep-i toolsversion

  • 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.

  • PowerShell script to browse the root of an ESXI host?

    I am currently working on a project to automate the task to bring our standard up to STIG vmware environment.


    I was able to make the largest part of the task using PowerCLI and vSphereCLI scripts. Some patches require that you check the data to files like/etc/ssh/ssh_config...

  • Change the default settings for all Mac on a wireless network, Officejet 6500n, Lion 10.7.4

    Hello

    In my view, there are a lot of discussions on change the print settings by default for printers hp in Leo, but my question is a little different. I have a network running on a wireless Netgear N600 router, and my HP Officejet 6500 is directly connected via USB. I want to set up the printer so that anyone who connects to the network via a mac wireless has the default value depending on parameters in any printing application:

    1. Quality: Fastdraft
    2. Color: gray
    3. Black cartridge only
    4. Print on both sides: long edge binding

    When I go to the page of the printer by entering the IP address in my browser, the administration utilities do not allow me to change the default settings and change the default settings in CUPS is useless since applications such as Safari, Word, and preview override these settings.

    Is that what I want possible?

    Thanks in advance.

    We gladly invite you.

    Indeed, that is right. When printing from a computer, the print settings can only be configured on the computer.

    The unit only will allow us to change this type of parameters for the work only stend, carried out from the device (e.g. copy or printing of the device using a memory card).

    Some business models can provide options to force parameters, print, but I'm afraid these capacities are not intended for consumer products.

    10.8.3 OS iMac

    I want to change the value print factory set in the default print setting. I want the documents I send to the printer via AirPrint to print in black and white, not color. But the 8600 by default is always color. Sometimes, I am able to change this setting for individual tasks, but sometimes I can't. I wish that the default to be always in black and white. Is this possible?

    The steps above refer only to the Mac, indeed.

    AirPrint provides all color configurations, but only allow printing in color... all available Airprint parameters are listed in the What are the printing options are available? section below:

  • changing the property index for all indexes of a model (OSDM 3.1 EA1)

    Is it possible to mass change to one of the properties of all the indexes in the model?

    For example, I have a data model with large number of indices.
    I created all these indexes with the clause of logging set to 'yes '.
    If I want to change to 'No', is there a way to do it without having to change the properties of each individual index?

    Can I use model index here? If Yes, can you please provide details on exactly how to use in this scenario?

    Hello

    The way to do is to change the JOURNALING property on one of the indexes.
    Reopen the Index on the Index Properties dialog box, then click on the button "propagate the properties.

    The dialog box properties of spread, deselect all properties with the exception of the journaling property and use "Select all" in the section 'Objects' of the dialog box to select all indexes updated.

    Index of models are used when the new indexes are created. You can use an Index model in order to have all new index you add logging set to 'no '.

    Is there an effective way to do this? At the moment I have only 2 ways...

    1 extract all documents and open each form with a text editor to change the class of security, re - download to the workspace

    2. manually change settings of security class in the workspace

    Hello

    I think that the best approach I've seen so far is to retrieve all documents via LCM (SSP), edit Web Forms with a text editor which can edit multiple files in the same file (Notepad ++) and then reload via LCM webforms.

  • How to change the author notices for all documents?

    I just discovered the Note tool in Photoshop, which I think will be very useful to our society we are working a lot on projects.

    In my view, there is a way to add an author to individual notes, but there is nowhere to set the author for all future notes you create. This means that I have to put my name as the author on all notes whenever I'm doing a. It's rather inefficient.

    I searched for a way to set the author on a global scale in Photoshop, but could not find. Most programs programs for editing or commenting interfaces include this setting - Acrobat and Microsoft Office are the first to come to mind. I looked under preferences and found nothing and I have also tried all closing documents and enter my name as author, but Photoshop did not remember it the next time I tried to add a note.

    Does anyone know how to configure this? Or is it just that Adobe omis/forgot to include this feature?

    I also tried all closing documents and enter my name as author, but Photoshop did not remember it the next time I tried to add a note.

    Works for me, would there be a permissions problem?

    Could you post a screenshot with all images, closed and the visible Options bar?

  • Script to pull the last timestamp spend all hosts in a cluster?

    Hi all

    Lately I have seen an issue where my host 5.1 logging abruptly stops and the other remote access to every host I have no way of knowing what happened.

    Is it possible to account for the last, for example hostd.log timestamp for each host in a cluster?

    Thank you

    Tony

    Try something like this

    foreach($esx in Get-Cluster -Name MyCluster | Get-VMHost){  $log = Get-Log -Key hostd -VMHost $esx  $esx | Select Name,@{N="Last entry";E={[datetime]($log.entries[-1].Split(' ')[0])}}}
    

    But be aware that fetch a newspaper of the ESXi could take some time.

    The script needs get the full log, to be able to extract the last line
