Returns the name of the FQDN for a vcenter based on a given virtual machine

Slowly, I am working on a set of workflow that will integrate a powershell module, I created.

For my first stream of work, I'm trying to find all the information I need when a user runs a workflow on a VM orchestrator.

I understood the cluster so far, but I can't identify the right script object that will give me the full domain name of a host corresponding to this virtual machine vcenter.

Being new vCO does not help much, either.

I thought that it would be part of VcManagedEntity, but for some reason, this page translates into a big ol' 404!

https://www.VMware.com/support/Orchestrator/doc/vco_vsphere51_api/HTML/VcManagedEntity.html#configStatus

I thought that maybe it would be part of vm.runtime.parent.parent but my script results in errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

I think that now you are a the right way, the full name of the vCenter server will be localhost, so the answer of vm.sdkConnection.setting.sdkConnection is localhost.

Maybe this will help you:

var sdkConnection = vm.sdkConnection;
var optionManager = sdkConnection.optionManager;

var vCenterInstanceName = optionManager.queryOptions( "VirtualCenter.InstanceName" ).shift().value;
var vCenterFqdn = optionManager.queryOptions( "VirtualCenter.FQDN" ).shift().value;

System.log( "vCenter Instance Name: " + vCenterInstanceName );
System.log( "vCenter FQDN: " + vCenterFqdn );

Where I think that the name of your instance will show localhost.

But the FULL domain name should be the thing you are looking.

See you soon

    Hi gurrus and LucD

    I'm looking for a Script that can list all virtual machines with type of NIC E1000 via the output of the CSV file.

    The script should search for information in a multiple Vcenter servers and multiple clusters and list all the VMs name, status (two powers on or off) with type card NETWORK Type E1000 only no other.

  • How to change the memory allocated for VCenter server, which is a virtual machine

    I'm trying reclassification of 3.5 to Vsphere 4.1 and I improved VCenter first, making it a virtual machine.  However, when I created the server I did not allocate enough memory for it and I'm getting errors.  How can I allocate more memory for the virtual machine while it is stopped?  I can not allocate more memory, except if it is closed, but with it being the VCenter server if I stopped him so that I can access with the Vi client.  Is there a service console command?  I searched for a few hours and found nothing.

    Thank you!!

    Discover what the vCenter ON WHAT VM ESX host is marked (e), connect directly to the ESX host and find the vCenter VM and make the change.

    Hi all, what is the most effective way to retrieve a MV of County in an org. I am currently recovering all CDV in an org, then all the vApps, then all of the virtual machines and pushing them into a table, then do a vms.length on the table filled by all virtual machines.

    It takes a horrible time, and there MUST be a better way.

        var qs = host.getQueryService();

    It takes a little more code because the ".ORG" field is not available for the non-Admin queryVMField, but the. VDC IS, so we start by retrieving the TDC for the Org, then for each one, ask the number of vm for VDC.

    I'm looking for to add to my report to the size of all the snapshots that are currently used by each virtual machine.  For example, I'm already reporting on space put into service and used space - but how much space are using snapshots?   Is there a way to get this data using powerCLI?

  • Update Manager upgrade of the ESXi host that he is running in a virtual machine does

    That is the question.  Here is some information.  We were a completely virtualized environment for several years.  2 guests ESXi collocated 5.5 to different data centers connected of course by a VPN site-to site.  The VPN itself is provided by VMs and vCenter runs in a VM to one of the sites as Update Manager is to proceed with installing it. If the vCenter and/or VPN VMs are down, we have a very cool backup method to gain access to and manage ESXi and its console.   Some of you who read the rest of the present will be tempted to suggest to architecting our environment differently, but we are very pleased with the way it is thank you very much :-)  Appreciate all the answers but really just responded to this specific question.

    The reason why we want to Update Manager is really just to be able to upgrade easily ESXi in the future without enter in the console and the execution of orders, etc.  I realize the documentation and blogs on this topic that ESXi may need to go into maintenance mode and stop the virtual machines running on it (not a cluster if no migration) how ESXi is lose connection to the Update Manager (if the remote host) or a stop Update Manager (if the local host).  So the question is, is that the process of updating managed by Update Manager an atomic operation at that crucial moment or a sequence of operations depend on continuous connectivity and control of Update Manager.  Ddoes ESXi, then perform the upgrade and restart regardless - that would be great - or he'll just stand there in maintenance mode to learn more about disconnected now / stop Manager update pending.

    Your answers are greatly appreciated.

    Please, tell me if I understand you:

    Ask yourself if you can upgrade the host running Update Manager VM? And you cannot migrate the virtual to another host machine because there is no cluster in place and no shared storage?

    If your answer is YES to both questions, I can tell you that you cannot use Update Manager, since you must put your host in Maintenance Mode and therefore you will need to stop all virtual machines running, including the VM Manager Update.

  • The prevention of future host to spread from a virtual machine

    Been browsing the internet using the virtual computer for years but the available hardware is too old for this and now host to be used for navigation, with browser sandboxing or sandboxing system (freezer).

    If all the personal data is still encrypted in a virtual machine in the future and this virtual machine has no access to the internet, and the host gets infected or belonging to a hacker, how can we host infection can prevent from spreading to the virtual machine?

    Keylogger to a current computer hacker to run in the host a recording of what I type inside the virtual machine? And it's why steal the password typed to access encrypted truecrypt of personal data in the virtual machine?

    (1) well, if you are sure that your VM is not yet infected, I recommend you take backup of any virtual machine, or take a snapshot of the current state.

    Then, install any newer version of Antivirus (Avast, macaffe) programs.

    And if you are concerned about keyloggers on the host, connect a secondary keyboard directly to your comments. For more information, refer to this Article

  • How to configure HA when vCenter is running as a virtual machine in one of the army?

    To install HA with VMware EVC, guests must be first maintenance mode before moving into the HA cluster. The problem is, vCenter runs as a virtual machine inside one of these hosts. If I stop vCenter downwards so that the host in maintenance mode, how do I setup with VMware EVC HA without using vCenter?

    If you do not feature vMotion, right down your vCenter VM and you unsubscribe eg. ESX1 can record for example. ESX2 then turn back on. ESX1 maintenance mode and then back ESX1 on your cluster file and exit once done maintenance mode. It goes the same for ESX2 and the rest of the ESX host.

    These edges are not straight, curved (large circles / on the globe/ellipse). Your first edge is almost 2 times the length of the 3rd. In your case, this means that the first edge is less "straight" / more curved.
    The point on the first Board at longitude 0.19640 has latitude +-51.927445, which means that your 4th point is lower, causing the edges at the intersection (at the place described by Jum'a).

    You can quickly test it by drawing your polygon on Google Earth.

    Small note to Jum'a, tolerance is (effectively) in meters. However must be no smaller than 5 cm, or 0.05.

  • What is the syntax for displaying tree based on a correlated subquery

    I need to show an effective dated tree. The reference date for the tree will be selected by the user. To do this I use a subquery to correlated against the underlying table with the entry into force provided as a bind variable. The following statement returns I want:

    SELECT a.tree_id, a.tree_pid, a.tree_leaf_name
    OF cit_fin_organization one
    WHERE a.effective_date =
    * (SELECT MAX (a1.effective_date) *)
    Cit_fin_organization A1
    WHERE a1.tree_id = a.tree_id
    AND a1.effective_date < =: f164_point_of_view_date)


    Adding where clause at the APEX generated SQL for the tree:

    Select "TREE_ID" id,
    * "TREE_PID" pid, * "
    * 'TREE_LEAF_NAME name, *.
    *'f ? p = & APP_ID.:51: & SESSION. : NO::P51_TREE_ID :'|| "' Link TREE_ID" *
    null a1,
    null A2
    of ' #OWNER # '. " CIT_FIN_ORGANIZATION ".

    is simple, but I did not come with the syntax that will successfully pass the SQL with aliases to the parser. Without references alias the request with its correlated subquery does not return, of course, the correct results.

    Can someone show me the correct syntax or suggest another way to accomplish what I want to do?

    I don't have the structure of the table that you have, but the following works on the EMP table:

    select a.empno id,

           a.ename || ' ' || TO_CHAR(HIREDATE,'DD/MM/YYYY') name,
           null link,
           null a1,
           null a2
    from EMP a
    where a.HIREDATE <= (SELECT MAX(b.HIREDATE)
    FROM EMP b WHERE a.empno = b.empno and b.HIREDATE <= TO_DATE(:P19_HIREDATE,'DD/MM/YYYY'))
    

    P19_HIREDATE is just a list of selection with all the HIREDATEs in the format DD/MM/YYYY. Of course, this isn't a thing of real but life shows you can use aliases and the elements of the page.
