Recovery of the Virtual Machine groups

I am trying to convert the old Webservices SDK to Powershell script code. How to get the VirtualMachineGroups? Get-file restores extras.

Thank you

The differences that you see is not inherent in the versions VC that you run against.

In VC 2.5 a folder is a folder blue or yellow that you see at the VIC.

And a file can contain several other objects.

The "vm" folder is a hidden folder, you don't see it in the VIC, but it's there.

You can check this with the managed object browser (MOB).

Call it with

https:///mob

I have not any VC 2.0 to test, but your response, it seems that if you want objects of ComputeResource not records.

Is this correct?

BTW, tests for the VC version is quit easy. Use the property

(Get-View ServiceInstance).Content.About.Version

Then you could based on who get to test the filter correct childType in.

Something like this for example

$child = "VirtualMachine"
if ((Get-View ServiceInstance).Content.About.Version -match "2.5){$child = "ComputeResource"}
Get-View -ViewType Folder -Filter @{"ChildType" = $child}

  • How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

    How the Virtual Machine port group communication?

    Port group is virtual aggregation of ports on vSwitch. A vSwitch can have multiple Port groups which separate the different network traffic. Port groups communicate with vSwitch, and we have physical network maps on vSwitch which establish communication with the external network. We can configure security, NIC teaming, traffic shapping nework political and at the level of the port groups. Once the port group is created, we can assign to vNIC

    How to establish communication?

    Public network > Switch L3 Core > ESXi physical adapter > vSwitch > groups > virtual NIC > Virtual Machine

    Virtual machine connect to the physical map using vNIC coming on Port groups. This is how it works.

  • Performance metric power group do not show anything on the virtual machine

    Hello

    I have a small question about the metrics of power Group found on the side of the virtual machine in the charts of perf ahead. It shows only 0 for usage.

    If I'm in the same group of metric on the host, it shows the values.

    do you know why it does not show anything on the virtual machine. is a group of metric that is not usable for virtual machines?

  • script to remove all the virtual machines in a folder or a group resource

    Someone at - it a script that will find all the virtual machines within a file or a group of resources and then delete the virtual machines?

    If you're dealing with a specific resource pool or a folder, you can use these.

    $vmlist = get-folder -name "TEST2"  | get-vm
    $vmlist = get-resourcepool -name TestServers | get-vm
    

    And then send it to something like this

    $vmlist | ForEach {
         If ($_.PowerState  -eq "PoweredOn")
              {
              Stop-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False
              }
         Remove-VM -VM $_.Name -Confirm:$False      }
    

    Also to find files of type VM

    get-folder -name | where {$_.IsChildTypeVM -eq "True"}
    

    Do you need to search the children files or resource pools as well?

  • List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group

    Hello

    I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.

    In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "

    And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.

    So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).

    However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.

    I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.

    My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.

    In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?

    my $cluster = 'cluster1. "

    My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',

    filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
    {if ($cluster_view)}
    My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',

    begin_entity => $cluster_view.

    Properties-online ['name']);
    foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
    print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
    }
    }

    Hope that helps!

  • I have a problem with the password on the virtual machine.

    Original title: passwords & Windows 7 virtual machines

    Hello

    I am running windows 7 pro 32 bit, with a windows XP virtual to develop existing software.

    The hosts & VM connect to a file on the network server. The file server is running windows XP, the network is a simple working group. I've manually created a limited user on the file server with the same name and password as my logon to windows 7.

    Today, I changed my password to connect to windows 7, which I am not as often as the security people recommend that I do. I changed the password on the file server to synchronize and also the password on the virtual computer.

    The virtual machine is maintaining however, somewhere the old password, which crashes, and I get the logon screen. If I enter the new password it connects then. I went into the settings of the VPC and delete the credentials saved, without effect. I removed "enable on startup" of integration features, also without effect.

    So I get the password in the VPC, but then I have to enter the password to access the network share. Or I can enter the password each time I start the virtual machine. The second is less painful, but still annoying.

    Any thoughts?

  • How to access the appservice parent of the virtual machine/machine component in a Multi environment?

    Hello

    I worked on a project of automation of the vra. In Orchestrator I have access to all the information for a particular component VM (for example, vCACVm, vCenterVm, virtualmachineEntity, vCACHost, vCACVmProperties objects) in the multi machine environment. But I have no information for the parent appservice (usually there will be a 'fake' vm as parent for multi machine environment).  For example, if I need to know the virutalmachineID of this parent 'VM' how to do it through vCAC API? I checked around and out to the desperate. Someone from http://dailyhypervisor.com/vrealize-automation-vcac-6-1-building-vco-workflows-for-multi-machine-blueprints/ says vCACEntity.getlink (vCACHost, "ChildVirutalMachines"), which seems the only link between parents and children vms. I certainly know that there should be an easy way to connect the machine virtual parent/child and go to the other, but how?

    Any response is appreciated!

    Concession of thank you for your response. It is the most common way that we tried. However, all properties we don't see anything pointing to the parent app "appservice' of a vm component. Last night I thought I found the answer. A property is shared between 'parent' and 'children': provisioningGroupID; It turns out that the name confusion is actually for "business group" for all the virtual machines belong to this group of companies will have the same value, not only the family of multi machine.

  • Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Scenario is,

    1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

    2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

    3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

    WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

    Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

    My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

    Kindly help with this problem.

    Thank you!!

    Dear all,

    I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

    VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

  • Disks of the virtual machine consolidation is necessary - vCenter 5.1 U1 + ESXi 5.1 + VDP 5.8.0

    Hello

    I am facing problem as many other people do, when snapshot is deleted, the delta files are still there and warning message "consolidation of disks of virtual machines is necessary" is shown on the virtual machine.

    It happened only few but try to find the root cause. He arrived only on virtual machine located on ESXi 5.1 build 799733 which is located in the task of the WTP 5.8.0 backup.

    Is this snapshot problem, a bug in the version of ESXi?

    Unable to find the release notes, where this is documented as bug.

    Thank you

    Finally, I found a reason, therefore, for other users... ESXi 5.1 build 799733 has a bug that is resolved in the update 1 and higher and is connected to the suspended snapshots created by POS, that is why are there so many discs of delta.

  • create the virtual machine from windows NT 4 server with adaptec raid 5

    I have an old Dell (1998) server running windows NT 4.0 sp6a.  He had a raid 5 configuration using the controller raid adaptec SCSI 2940.  2 discs failed who broke the raid set.  I had a disk recovery company to recover the data and they have scratched off readers and gave me a SATA with all volumes.  I found a procedure to create a virtual hard disk (.vhd) and then converted to a hard and used to create a virtual machine in VMware workstation 7.  When I turn on the virtual machine, it begins the process of starting windows, shows the boot menu, select normal or mode VGA, goes through the process of NTdetect, display processor and memory but then gives a BSOD with the message inaccessible_boot_device.

    I changed the hard to affect the buslogic ddb.adaptertype, but it gave me the same problem.

    is there a different driver that I need for an adaptec raid controller or if the typical SCSI drivers should work?  If the typical SCSI drivers should work, so my problem might be in my Boot.ini because it shows that he is supposed to start on the partition (4) and this sata drive may not have scores exactly as they were on the raid configuration.  I tried to mount the volumes not in read-only mode, but the partition that I need to change the boot.ini file is partition (2) what mapping VMware won't let me open mode not readonly.  whenever I have, select it and it opens the partition (1) mode not readonly.

    I know this sounds complicated then I hope I described with precision.

  • Internal error starting the Virtual Machine after Crash

    I'm in Yosemite and when running a virtual Windows 7 machine it suddenly stopped working. The beach ball slider off for half an hour and I was force quit Fusion 7. While trying to launch the virtual machine again, I get a message "Internal error" generic.

    Already tried: restart my Mac, repair permissions, uninstall/reinstall Fusion 7, even try to fix the main VMDK file (it is divided and returned without error).

    Any suggestions?

    Looks like you run your virtual machines from a disk formatted in NTFS by using the Paragon NTFS driver.  Have you tried to use disk utility to check the integrity of the NTFS partition?  Error messages suggest strongly that the NTFS file system may be corrupted or there may be a problem with the NTFS driver.  (I think that the NTFS driver is not available when you used the recovery environment to check disks).

    If this volume extracted also OK through the disk utility first aid option, you pourriez either requires an upgrade of your driver of Paragon NTFS since version 11 to version 12 (which their Web site claims is the first version with support of Yosemite), or you may need to set the drive on a Windows machine and have windows to control its own native on the volume file system in Paragon file system audit case missing something.

    See you soon,.
