Report on the number of virtual machines by datastore
Hello
I use vFoglight 6.6.2. I try to have a report generated every week that contains the number of virtual machines running in the data store. But I don't know how to create a table of edge/report for these details.
request for expert assistance.
The following query gives you so all virtual machines on the specified data store
Using the following mandatory input parameters:
{VMWDatastore}: type foglight - 5:VMWDatastore
Select objects of type Machine virtual VMware in parameter {VMWDatastore}
root of {VMWDatastore} / virtualCenter/virtualMachineCollection/virtualMachines
where:
({VMWDatastore} to /datastores and)
(/ vmState/current/value is equal to "receiving")
Like query UI setup will allow you to use it as a dashboard of entry.
Try around with the request and let me know if this help.
Best regards

Hello
You can use the PowerCLI command to get a VM number:
SE connect-VIServer-Server "ESXi host or vCenter server.
(Get-VM-location 'ESXi host') .count

HELP - how to get the number of virtual machines on a data store?
Looking at the inventory of the data store in the VI client, there are a "number of Virtual Machines:" according to the General information for the Summary tab... I'm looking for a script that retrieves this information for me...
I started the script but I'm stuck... I am very new on this...
Get-Datastore. WHERE-object {$_ .name - like "wlp" ' "} #this gives me all the data which are not local warehouses
Could someone give an overview on how to script to retrieve the number of virtual machines on data warehouses...
Thank you, Lee
Sorry, something went wrong with the copy - paste
Get-Datastore | where {$_.Name -like "vmfs*"} | Sort-Object -Property Name | %{$_ | select @{N="DSname"; E={$_.Name}}, @{N="VMcount";E={($_ | Get-VM | Measure-Object).count}}}

How to count the number of virtual machines that are turned on.
Try to learn this PowerShell stuff... oh what fun.
Given that maintenance mode does not work unless you manually VMotion servers or stop them, I am trying to program a loop to make sure that all VM on the host is disabled.
How can I get the value of "#PoweredOn" in this statement so that I can compare it? I want to leave the loop when the number of virtual machines under voltage = 0.
function shutdownGuests()
{
Get-VMHost HOST1. Get - VM | Stop-VMGuest
$num_powered_on = $null
{}
Write-Host $num_powered_on
Write-Host $PoweredOn
$num_powered_on = get-VMHost HOST1. Select-Object Name, @{Name = "#PoweredOn"; Expression = {($_ |)} Get - VM | Where-Object {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} | Measure-Object). {{Count}}
Start-Sleep - seconds 10
} While that ($num_powered_on & gt; 0)
#Loop and check to see if all VMs are closed, and then return to main()
}
Try something like this:
while (get-vmhost XXX | get-vm | where { $_.PowerState -ne "PoweredOff" }) { # Wait a while }

Report on the ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster
We started to evaluate Foglight for capacity planning and evaluation. One of the reports that I believe is interested in our leadership is the "ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster" report. I see that the report provides a value for the VMS remaining. I would like to learn a little more about this value and how is it calculated:
- What exactly a 'virtual machine' represents in these reports?
- Can a similar report to run using a specific type of server based on the allocation of resources or patterned after an existing VM wokload?
We are a small, medium and large VM offering based on the allocation of resources. I would like to change the report to display the number of each type of virtual machine I have available... or pointer pointing to an existing virtual machine, and according to its resources and workload, determine how this server, I have available.
It is based on the average size of the virtual machine in the cluster. If you look at the dashboard of capacity management in the user interface, it can give you more details by cluster. It is based on the average of the use of min/max/AVG across all virtual machines in a period given (usually 90 days). This can not be changed today, but there is work to allow lets you specify a size of slot for something as small, medium, large, etc...
This feature exists in the Foglight for virtualization, however Standard Edition. It might be interesting to watch this, if you need it sooner.

looking for a script to the list of virtual machines by datastore
Someone at - it a script that lists each data store, then the virtual machines that are on it. Or maybe the list all virtual machines and data store or data warehouses is located in the virtual machine?
Thank you
This should do the trick for you. In fact, it extends the computer object complete virtual with a property data store so you can still search the other aspects of the virtual machine.
Get-Datastore. WHERE-object {$_.} {Name - like "DMX *"} | {ForEach-Object
$dsname = $_. Name
$_ | Get - VM | {ForEach-Object
$($_ | Add - Member MemberType NoteProperty-name of store data-value $dsname - PassThru) | Select-object Name, host, Datastore
}
}

Get the number of virtual machines per ESX host
I am able to get the account with the following script command, but what I want to do is to report a 0 if there is no virtual machines on a host. Currently it just show nothing if there are no VMs. Any suggestions?
Get-VMHost | Sort - the name of the property. Select Name, @{N = "VMCount"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}}
You can add an IF in the part of the expression.
Try it like this
Get-VMHost | Sort-Object Name | Select Name,@{N="VM";E={if(($_ | Get-VM).Count){($_ | Get-VM).Count} else {0}}}

VMware View | PowerCLI | How to get the number of virtual machine in a specific pool-ID
Hello
Generally, to get the number of VMS in a pool, I run this command:
Get-pool | Select Pool_id, @{Name = "NumVM"; Expression = {($_ |)} (Get - DesktopVM). County}} | out-gridview
But how can I list all the pools and then select the pool I want a county of?
Maybe something like:
Select 1 for accounts
Select 2 for Marketing
and then County VM just for this pool and immediate where at the output (Out-gridview or Export-CSV)
Thanks, Julien
Hi LucD
I don't understand the line:
1.. $pools. County | %{
Write-Host "$_" $Pools [$_ - 1]. NameWhy do we need the 1...
Also is the same as get-get-resourcepool pool?
Thanks, Julien

Number of virtual machines per server
This number varies greatly with the type of workload and of (among other variables) network connectivity, but what would you say is a common number of virtual machines running on a particular server (NIC10 G ) platform? 10? 20? 40? The number of sockets/cores on this server?
Any contribution is appreciated.
Thank you
Hey Ex,.
This issue of $ 1 million has been requested several times before. The answer is simple - there is no definitive answer. There are so many variables that contribute to the number of virtual machines, you can run on a server:
-number of Sockets
-Core per socket-CPU speed
-Density memory
-Bandwidth allocated by host
-Storage connectivity & bandwidth
-Attributes VM & function of workload (amount of memory, CPU & disk by virtual machine)
Although you can probably squeeze a lot more virtual machines per server with densities increased memory & CPU power, also increases your default domain name. HA may be able to 'recover' virtual machines on a failed host, but how virtual machines are you willing to lose only once? When sizing of your hosts, also the failover capabilities take into account. Each of your cluster hosts should be able to tolerate the failure of at LEAST one host and meet all the requirements of memory & processor of the additional virtual machines now spread over the remaining hosts in the cluster. This is why administrators does not often grow over 60% of the capacity of their hosts. VMware uses a calculation of size "slot" to ensure you have adequate to your cluster failover capacity.
As typical, I see regularly around the mark of 20 VM per server on a typical 2-socket server with 96 GB of memory and dual 10 G uplinks. It is also good to think that most software licenses (VMware, Nexus 1000v etc.) is based on the counts of socket, and since the memory is going to be your first argument point - servers that can support large amounts of memory are usually an ideal choice. B250 is perfectly placed to virtual workloads like this, while the B230 is a little firecracker with a bit more CPU power under its hood so you need.
As vague as I was, I hope this starts your thought process
Kind regards

Number of Virtual Machines in a host
Dear all,
I am fairly new with vmware. As a newbe, I have a lot of request for information on the virtual machine. As a first step, I have a basic question:
How we calculate the number of virtual machines that can be installed safely on a host computer.
For example,.
The host is with below configuration
HP DL380 G7, E5645, (6core, 2.4 GHz, 12 MB L3, 80W)
Dual processor
48 GB of memory
8 x 300 GB hard drive
STD config
For example, in the configuration above, how WIN2008R2, 8 GB servers can be loaded.
Is it as 48 / 8 = 6 Machines?
If so, what is the involvement of CPU cores?
Your descriptive answer is much appreciated...
Thanks in advance...
Welcome to the community,
This depends on the VM workload. With the material you mention I guess the limiting factor will be the RAM and not the CPU. What is important for this host is have you FBWC attached to the RAID controller to make it work in writeback mode!
A note more: you will need a licensed version to run ESXi 5.x on this host. The free hypervisor does support up to 32 GB of physical memory.

VMware View 4.5 - number of virtual machines deployment through Virtual Center
Hello
After an update to VMware View 4.5 Solution, thanks to an automatic pool sliding the virtual Center creates now six machines at the same time.
Before this update the VC never fired on two machines at the same time...
It of Nice to have this indictment, but is it possible for me to configure the number of virtual machines created on same time?
Thanks for your help
Kind regards
If you go into servers and change the login information from vCenter there is an Advanced tab. Click this tab and you can set the maximum amount of concurrent provisioning operations you want.

I can't currently developing a report/view that can show me what I'm looking for. I thought since it's related capabilities vROPs can keep track. Is there a way to see the when a virtual machine has changed and what has changed? Looking mainly vdisk, vCPU or vRAM.
Thanks for help or suggestions.
Hi newbski1,
There are few things you can try to help him with this.
1. the events view shows you changes in resources, it is not terribly detailed, but it will help
2. depending on your version, you can also view in Configuration Manager that is part of the vRO suite that will show you the changes to configurations.
See you soon

Maximum number of virtual machines by free ESXi hypervisor?
Community of VMware,
I just installed the free 5.5 ESXi hypervisor and I wonder if the same virtual machine limits apply to the stand-alone scenario as vCenter? Can I run actually 512 VMs? What, if any, is the maximum number of virtual machines, I can run on a free version of ESXi?
From 5.5 ESXi limits most have been removed, but only a limit of 8 vCPU per VM remains. So if I'm wrong, the VM 512 mentioned for each host (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere5/r55/vsphere-55-configuration-maximums.pdf) affect the free hypervisor.
