• Problem running script PowerCLI

  Hi all

  I am very new to PowerCLI and I'm looking for someone who can help me with a PowerCLI script I'm running. I found the script online created by someone named Ben on Geekynetworks below.

  When I try and run the script it-error during the New - VM:

  New-VM: A positional parameter cannot be found by accepting the argument '-'.

  C:\VCBScripts\clonetest.ps1:18 char: 8

  Here is the script, can someone tell me what's in it?

  Thanks in advance!

  }

  #To allow script to be run as batch job
add-pssnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

#declare array of VM names to clone
$src_vm_names = @("VM_1", "VM_2")

#connect to server
Connect-VIServer "vcenter" -User username -Password password

#Get current date in YYYYMMDD format
$date = get-date -uformat "%Y%m%d"
  
foreach($src_vm_name in $src_vm_names){

  $src_vm = Get-VM $src_vm_name

  #create a new clone of the VM
  New-VM -Name ($src_vm_name+"_clone_"+$date) -VM $src_vm -Datastore "remote_datastore" -VMHost "remote_host" -notes $date

  #Permanently delete all clones older than 7 days
  $clones = get-VM ($src_vm_name+"_clone_*")
  $expirydate = Get-date (Get-date).addDays(-7) -uformat "%Y%m%d"
  foreach($clone in $clones){
  if($clone.notes -lt $expirydate){
  Remove-VM $clone -DeletePermanently -confirm:$false
  }
}

  }

  He should be fine with the add-pssnapin, you have there, moreover, is not to choke on the Get - VM cmdlet that you run earlier, which shouldn't be a problem.

  Make sure that you run in a 32 bit Powershell. The cmdlet New - VM (like one handful of others) will work only in a 32-bit Ppowershell. See:

  https://www.VMware.com/support/developer/PowerCLI/PowerCLI51R2/powercli51r2-releasenotes.html

  The following features of PowerCLI are supported only on 32-bit versions of Windows PowerShell.

  New-OSCustomizationSpec and Set-OSCustomizationSpec

  New-VM and Set - VM (only when it is used to apply customization specifications)

  When running against vCenter Server or ESX/ESXi versions prior to version 5.0, the following PowerCLI functions are supported only on 32-bit versions of Windows PowerShell.

  Invoke VMScript

  Copy-VMGuestFile

  New-VMGuestRoute, Get-VMGuestRoute and Remove-VMGuestRoute

  Set-VMGuestNetworkInterface and get-VMGuestNetworkInterface

  Together-hard drive (only when used for resizing the partitions of comments drive)

  If you run just 'powershell.exe - file path\filename.ps1' of a cmd on a 64 bit OS, it will run the 64-bit default Powershell.

  Run 'C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe leader path\filename.ps1' to call a 32 bit Powershell.

• How to run scripts powershell to Orchestrator

  Hello

  is it possible to run powershell Orchestrator-workflow scripts?

  I got it only work with a powershell ssh server on another system (http://www.powershellinside.com/powershell/ssh/)

  and Executive a ssh command inside the workflow.

  Kind regards

  Joerg

  This can be done in the 4.0 update release 2 (which was released on June 10, 2010).

  To do this, you will first need to modify the configuration of server vCO since issuing an operating system command is prohibited by default for security reasons.  Please keep in mind that everything you do here are run with the credentials of the user running the process of vCO (default localSystem).

  1. the file to edit is vmo.properties under the application-server/server/vmo/conf directory.

  Add a line to the bottom

  com VMware.js.allow - local-process = true

  and save the config file.

  The details of how to proceed is in the guide of the administrator under "Definition of system properties"-> "JavaScript access to the operating system commands Set.

  2. create a new workflow and paste the following line in a box "that contains a script task.

  command = new command ("cmd /c copy c:
  Orchestrator
  c: test.txt
  Orchestrator
  test1.txt');

  command = new command ("powershell.exe - order copy c:")
  Orchestrator
  c: test.txt
  Orchestrator
  test2.txt");

  Command.Execute (true);

  3. Optional: If you want to have access to another part of the file system, please take a look at the "Set Server file system Access to the Workflows and JavaScript" section in the Administrator's Guide. The configuration file referenced in the guide is not there by default, so you have to create it.

  Please keep in mind that which allows commands to be run on a server with a workflow has some security implications.  Running PowerShell this way also means that:

  -you are limited to running the PowerShell script without the ability to interact with your script to halfway through the script

  -You can build the string to start the PowerShell script (like providing a virtual machine with VM.name), but the output of the PowerShell script would have to write to a file that you can then open and read with another stream of work (or action).

  I hope this helps.

• Problem running scripts with Oracle Test Manager (MTM)

  Hi all!
  
  I am facing a problem to run any test in OTM.
  I'm adding scripts that I created in OpenScript (and which take place in perfect inside) but running in Test Manager fails.
  To be more precise, I even created a very simple script for the case in which I open the browser, navigate to an existing page (for example www.fmstocks.com/fmstocks - like documentation for example) and then I close the browser.
  What is happening is that the test fails after a few seconds. In the report results, summary of Script, it there a failure result to give Total iteration:
  
  + Object "/ web:window[@index='0" [or @title =' subject: empty '] "+."
  + did not action: +.
  + < name of message = "Navigate" > < parameter WindowIndex = '0' > +.
  + < / parameter > +.
  + < parameter Url = "http://www.fmstocks.com/fmstocks" > +.
  + < / parameter > < / Message > +.
  
  This is the same result that I get in any script I run (with different Url of course).
  I tried to alternate some settings in the Manager (Tools-> system) systems and change my OTM server, I've seen in a thread. I found that if I write as a user name and password to my windows or my OTM username and password (instead of JMSAdmin I see is the default user name) when I run the test simply never stops!
  To be clear, I just started using OATS. All the foregoing is done with the default settings after installation. OpenScript works fine but I need OTM so that I can perform several set of test scripts.
  
  Any help is appreciated!

  Hello
  You must first set back the remote system OTM to JMSAdmin / the_pwd_you_supplied_during_installation
  Then, you must stop the Windows Service called "Oracle Application Testing Suite Agent Service" and put it in the manual.
  Then, you start the agent from the command line
  C:\OracleATS\agentmanager\bin\AgentManagerService.exe - c C:\OracleATS\agentmanager\bin\AgentManagerService.conf (something like that according to the installation path).

  Let us know if it is ok then.

• How to run a Powershell script via a batch file

  I'm new on using Powershell and I have a fundamental question regarding running a powershell script. Basically, I wrote a file of commands as shown below.

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe - PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows\vim.psc1" - NoExit-command "C:\MyScripts\RunSpanshot.ps1".

  I run the batch file and nothing seems to happen. What is the problem with trying to run the RunSpanshot.ps1 script as shown above? -any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  You could do

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VIToolkitForWindows\vim.psc1" -NoExit -Command "& 'C:\My Scripts\RunSpanshot.ps1'"

  I bet that the people running Windows 7 with IE9 do not have this problem. If you are running XP, you cannot run any data more recent than IE8.

  Another problem is that people who post on this problem (including yourself) don't bother giving us important information such as what version of IE they run or the specifications of the computer (including the speed of the processor and the amount of RAM).

• Run the powershell script in Workflow VCO

  Hi guys,.

  I'm pretty new to VCO and I am facing difficulties to get what I want. For you, this will be a Basic... but here's my question:

  I have a WF that I use in the WFStubmachineprovisionning that can generate me a name of virtual machine based on the selection of the user while he asked for a virtual computer in the VRA.

  The VM provisionned name looks like this: W203PKLXXX and I need to replace the XXX with a number that is available on the network.

  To do this, I need to query the DNS to see if there is, if not, 002 001... And so on... until an available and I send the full name of the virtual machine to the WF Stubprovisionning.

  This my first try to interact between VCO and a Powershell script. I can run script PS on my host configured, but do not know how to send variables to the custom WF that generates the name of the script of PS and send the name of VM from the script of the PS to the next step.

  Can someone give me a sample of variable to manage? I can't find anything on the net

  Just to tell you that I managed.

  the PS has returned an XML object, not a string. I had to use the method getxml() javascript property, and parse the string to get the value I need

  I also had to blind correctly (getxml) entry and exit (PS)

  If needed I can send you a few screenshoot

• How to run the powershell script of command with several parameters

  Is there a way to run a powershell script from the dialog box run with several parameters? In addition, the path to the script contains spaces, for example, c:\powershell scripts\script.ps1.

  Take a look at http://www.powershell.nu/2009/12/16/running-scripts-with-arguments-in-powershell/ which explains how to pass arguments to a script.

• How do I powershell environment of default configuration that I can run scripts which the cmdlet Vsphere?

  I am a newbie for two worlds VSphere and Powershell.

  My requirement is to call a script that uses the Vsphere using default windows powershell cmdlet.

  What are the settings I must perform on Windows powershell so that I can run scripts that uses the VSphere cmdlet?

  You can as LucD said or you can even add this line @ the beginning of your script to make sure that the plugin is added whenever the script runs.

  Benefits of the approach of LucD profile, will it work on this one machine.  drawback is a little less portable.

  Backwards add it to the script will load the plug-in each time regardless of the profile.  downside, repetitive.

• Problems running JavaScript despite correct settings

  For some reason any, since I have updated to version 3.6 of Firefox, JavaScript does not work anymore.

  I checked the help files existing who asked me to check the Options in the Tools menu.

  Here are my settings, which should work, but aren't:

  1. on the content tab, 'Enable JavaScript' is checked.
  2. under Advanced options, the following are checked:

      a) Move or resize existing windows
      b) Disable or replace context menus
  

  Theoretically, this should work, but doesn't. Simply do not run scripts. You can provide any assistance is greatly appreciated.

  Sincerely,

  Robert Hieger

  This has happened

  Each time Firefox opened

  == I've upgraded to version 3.6 and now also 3.7.

  Thanks for your post, Wolfgang
  I think I'll go to Opera, until Firefox fixes some problems...

• Run scripts PowerCLi PowerCli console?

  Is it possible to run scripts PowerCLi PowerCli console?

  I want to use the batch with PowerCli orders orders... and I'm stuck on adding entries PowerCli keyboard console.

  You don't need the parameter of hard disk, the hard disk is passed through the pipeline of the cmdlet Get-disk hard.

  If the virtual machine has more than 1 hard drive, you use a Where clause to select the hard drive you want.

  Get-disk hard - VM "MV0857-gastela" |

  where {$_.} Name - eq "Hard Disk 2"} |

  Together-hard drive - CapacityKB 20000000 - confirm: $true

  You can call PowerCLI cmdlets, but be sure to connect all first.

  Something like this for example

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -PSConsoleFile  "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\vim.psc1"  -command "connect-viserver MyVC | out-null; Get-VM"
  

  Have you set the execution policy for PS?

  Make one

  Get-ExecutionPolicy

  To change you could do

  Game-ExeecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

  Just do it once.

• After 4.1 update, 1 host 'Error while running script control of health' - what to check next?

  I had an ESXi 4 update 1 host, I used the Update Manager to upgrade to 4.1.  To join the cluster, I get a red mark and the host State

  "HA agent on contains an error: error when running script control of health."

  Two hosts in a separate cluster do not have the same question.

  So far, I have

  Reconfigured HA

  HA HA/Enabled disabled for the cluster

  Restart management agents

  Server restarts

  Put the server on another cluster

  .. .the all result in the same error.

  Any ideas?

  I am also trying to solve this problem, and although I have not found a solution, I started to create an article documenting what I found regarding this error. I think I'm very close to a solution.

  UPDATE: I found the solution! Read the article below:
