Retrieve the vm to a virtual computer model Specs

I try to get the specifications of all the virtual machines within a model of vApp and wonder if someone has already done this?

On itialial thought, my instinct is to collect the vm Morefs of in the model and then query the object directly via vCenter info, bypassing vCloud Director completely. But there must be a medium eisier.

You need to get the host name vCenter for being given (by extension of the admin)

He is former quick & dirty code so this can certainly be improved.

var vdc = vApp.parent;var org = vdc.parent;var host = org.parent;

var providerVdcReference = vdc.toAdminObject().providerVdcReference;var providerVdc = host.getEntityByReference(VclEntityType.providerVdc ,providerVdcReference);var adminExtProviderVdc = providerVdc.toAdminExtensionObject();

//Get vCenter Resource pool var vimServerUrl = adminExtProviderVdc.getVimServer().url;

var vimServerHostName = vimServerUrl.substring(vimServerUrl.indexOf("://") + 3, vimServerUrl.lastIndexOf(":")); 

and then use something like this:

Server.findForType ("VC:VirtualMachine", vimServerHostName + "/" + vmMoRef);

You can also get the ID of the object in vCD and use vCenter query service to retrieve the object by name, but I do not have a code example for him.

  • How find out who made changes to a virtual computer model?

    Greetings!

    We do turn several ESXi 5 boxes under vCenter Server 5 and have several directors. A few days ago one of the admins made a change to a virtual computer model and we want to know how find out who.

    Thank you!

    Have you checked the tab tasks & events of the model?

  • Determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface

    I want to determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface.  How can I do this?

    If I use a supermetric, there is no kind of attribute under CPU called "maximum use.

    Certainly, you get points for a long question! Although to be fair, it's probably my fault to feed you so much information to digest at once.

    1. I would say you can do two ways visually. Use the operations > detail view for 'normal ranges' use the upper limit of the normal range as your typical max. You want an absolute peak, add the metric of a graph or observe that highlight high and low watermarks.

    2. There are a lot of ways to display data, but if you want to display a single metric over a period of time, we could use the following widgets [on top of my head]:

    Top - N analysis

    Weather map

    Analysis of distribution of data

    Among these, I think of your desire for a "peak". Who you want real value, which eliminates the weather map. Then, I think that the concept of a 'Summit' and what is the best thing, I think that the 95th percentile... then I came with the widget of data distribution. The decision is ultimately yours given your particular use case.

    3. you can have it apply to several virtual machines - it's just a widget capable of being an independent provider or receiving widget (metrics, DO NOT choose to select resources). Each resource/metric will add to the widget and you can remove them if you like after it is added. You can certainly all the time you visit... It is date and time standard options you have in all the other widgets chart. With the widget data distribution, you want as much time as possible to get an accurate histogram of the cycles of workload.

    4. This is similar to the question above. You can certainly add parameters of individual resource or a DM that summarizes or AVG groups of resources. And as above, the delay is configurable, along with the other graph widgets.

    5. it's part of Q4 - you can sumN or avgN up to any number of resources with a SM, then discovers that SM in the widget of data distribution. When I said container, I mean an application, group resource pool... all that acts as a container parent within the vCOps.

    6. that's correct, SMs calc using data collected last points... aka single period of time. When you are referring to the longest period, I gave you a few examples of the attributes that are composed of several periods of time which are calculated and created by the adapter for VMware vCenter behvaior. In this case, you have the GVA 15 min CPU 1.5; These specific simple mobile GVA can be specific OR a copy using SMs. Next, you will have the chance is to find a way to distribute what you need through a widget [at that time].

    7. the distribution of data is not for export, it is for Visual functions. If you want the data in CSV, just use a typical chart of metrics and export to a csv and calc your own pics, avg, 95th, whatever.

    8. This is a bit of a mix of all your questions, put in place.

    You are right, if you added those 3 VMs, then calc was the 95th of the AVG. Like Q7, you would not export the data of the distribution of data because the raw data points are not - you do not pass the metric to a metric graphics standard and export via csv.

  • Get the data from a virtual computer store

    I'm looking to get the data from a virtual computer store, but format to be used with vmrun.  My current vmrun statement is:

    vmrun t CR h < IPAddress > https://: 443/SDK u & lt; username & gt; Pei & lt; password & gt; runProgramInGuest "[& lt;. datastorename & gt;] & lt; datastorefolder & gt; / & lt; virtualmachinename & gt;. VMX' c:\myscript.bat

    The idea is to replace & lt; datastorename & gt; given with the name of the LUN that is running on a virtual machine.  In this case, I'm running my statement vmrun from inside a script PowerCLI.  I can use a variables powerCLI, if the vmrun instruction can take and use all escape sequences are needed to adapt the format vmrun to this argument.

    That is right.

  • Cannot modify memory and CPU of the parameters on a virtual computer running - vSphere 4

    After a new installation of vSphere 4, I created several virtual machines and P2V had a couple as well.  DRS and HA was set up, and everything worked well.  If I understand correctly, I should be able to change the settings of RAM and the processor to a virtual computer running, but they are greyed out as with previous versions.  I can change them if the virtual machine is shut down.  No idea why this?

    Thank you!

    1 VM should be version 7 of material.

    2. you must set the "Allow memory hot add" powered off mode.

    Only after this, you can add memory to the virtual machine performance. Also, don't forget that Windows 2003 and 2008, Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition support this.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    Please disable the firewall on the computer and check if the printer works fine.

    If parsing is successful after you turn off the firewall, please add printer Dell as an exception to the firewall.

    If the search was unsuccessful, please follow the steps below:

    Click Start > Control Panel > devices and printer > printer right click and select Properties.

    Select the Ports tab in the printer properties window, and then configure the Port.

  • Create the installation of XP virtual computer which is the dual boot with Win7

    Hiya

    What is the best way to achieve this please - I can't find a definitive answer anywhere.

    I give myself a choice at startup if using Win7 or XP (default) - I'm afraid I don't remember who was loaded first.

    Any OS is chosen ends up as the C drive.

    I am running XP now and the boot.ini on the C drive only made reference to a BONE, so consider Win7 installation deals with startup ()? :

    timeout = 30

    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS

    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = OPTIN/fastdetect

    I tried just to run XP Converter to create a virtual computer from the installation of XP - it creates the virtual machine, but fails on the Reconfiguration with "cannot find the volume of the system.

    What I have to change something something on the partition in the virtual machine?

    See you soon

    Craig

    Already go you as far as "Please activate now?"

    Congratulations - then fine.

    Expect this reactivation, except if you use volume licenses

    Is it possible to change the version of a 7 to 4 virtual computer hardware?

    I tried following the steps that worked for me...

    2. unregister the virtual machine to the host/vc

    3. edit the VMX and redefine the hardware version on 4. (Do not forget... VMX file Edition is not a supported option).

    4 register the virtual machine to the host/VC

  • network to access the problem on a virtual computer

    Hello

    I have a server with esxi 4, and I created a new virtual machine. My problem is that I don't know how to configure the ethernet card in my VM.

    The server has a single adapter ethernet, with a public IP address. The network configuration is default of esxi: a physical card connected to a virtual switch. My problem is that I don't know what IP should I give the machine virtual eth0, and how I can tell that this public IP is connected to my virtual computer. Here is my network configuration:

    If anyone can help me, I realize that I'm very bad when it comes to networking

    Thank you

    It cannot be the same IP address as the host. Try one upwards or downwards to the IP address of the host. So that nothing else on the network has the same IP address. Make sure you have the right subnet mask and default gateway (the IP address of your router)

  • Cannot retrieve the list of scanning of computer Applications

    I can't get my Dell V715w printer to download the list of scanning my computer Windows 7 applications.

    I reinstalled the printer drivers and software of Dell V715w Wireless all-in-One Printer owners thread (W7).

    I use IE11. I disabled ToolTips and have checked the «never show...» "in printing preferences.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled ABBYY OCR.

    I deleted the host scan from print settings Server Configuration page.

    I have generated new Applications of scanning Dell printer lists.

    I followed the above procedures... "doing things in the right order. Wake up the printer. Restart the computer and the connection.  Once the computer connected, wait 2 minutes.  In the meantime, on the printer, press the scan button. After 2 minutes, on the printer, select the computer you want to scan. Then it must generate applications that you added from the updated list of applications to send scans to.

    None of these things do not work. Do you have any suggestions for me to get the printer to download the Scan Applications list?

    Moreover, the printer works fine in all other respects. It's a printer shared in a Win 7 / Win 8.1 Homegroup. There is no wireless, sharing, or from permissions at all. Just unable to download scan applications list.

    shelquis,

    I'll try to do it again.

    Run first remove print jobs to remove stuck print Job (s) of the queue, and then restart your computer.

    Make sure that the printer is not plugged usb cable.

    On the first computer, select new installation, network, and then follow the instructions. It should be to your network and the password.

    On the second computer, and additional computers, select the computer, network and follow the instructions.

    Don't forget the programs anti-virus and firewall will block communications.

    (This should be done on all computers, if you want to scan)

    In the digitization, if you have the disc that came with the printer, and then insert the floppy disk to the printer and keep it from running. Go to my computer and double-click it. Locate the drive that contains the disk Dell inside. Right-click on it, left click Explore. Find the folder of the OCR. In the OCR folder, there is a folder of Abbyy. Right click on setup.exe, which is located in the folder Abbyy and left, click Run as administrator. This will install the OCR program.

  • Create a virtual computer model using the Windows Client (c#) function?


    The windows-based client can create VM templates?  I created a VM Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and I would use it as a model for all the virtual machines that follow.  However, I have not yet created the vCenter Server VM but want to use the W2012R2 virtual machine as its base.  I don't see how with the customer I have.  Can if not a model, I simply duplicate the VM?  I don't want to use this machine virtual first for vCenter Server and then create a new one from scratch for use as a model.

    To create templates and clone virtual machines, you will need vcenter server in place, but you can use alternative means to clone this virtual machine to use as a basis for vCenter, take a look at this blog post: cloning a virtual machine without vCenter in ESXi free edition 5.1 | Curiosity killed the cat

  • I want to just convert a virtual computer model... and I owe the clone to the model?

    can you just convert a VM directly to a model? I'm used to using the windows client, I carefully use the webclient service because VMware forces my hand. I hate it.

    I want just to convert a virtual machine in a model. I don't see this option. I see an option to CLONE to a template, but I don't want a clone. I don't want 2 copies. IT seems that it is perhaps the only option with the web client? Am I missing something? And then to turn back, I copy the model to model or something? At VMware really derailed this much?

    Client Windows worked fine. Customer Web is painful.

    Yes, you can convert a virtual machine to a model using the Web Client. See the attached screen photographed... where is the option for her.

  • Failed to retrieve the info on drive & virtual disk service

    I did research all day for the solution to this irritating problem!
    I get upgraded my Eee PC (it has system requirements) of Windows XP Home Edition - Service Pack 3 for Windows 7 Starter.
    Whenever I try to install the OS, this message always appears at the top:

    Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer.

    I found that many people have solved this by activating the virtual disk Service and by assigning the value automatic. My problem is that I don't have such a service on my computer. The WIS IS NOT in the list.
    I tried Googling on how to install the service, but I simply find the answer.

    If anyone has a solution to my problem, that would be greatly appreciated!

  • What is the original for a virtual machine model?

    I see in the interface of Lab Manager if you look at a given Virtual Machine, you see the original model, he was cloned from admitted.

    When I do ListMachines(), ListConfigurations(), there is no evidence mentioning the model for individual records. In addition, GetObjectConditions() returns nothing.

    Where would he get this information?

    I don't think that there is nothing in the API that gives this information (i.e. what model was VM # created from).

    next is as close as possible to use the internal call 'ListTemplates.
