• Help with script from beginner to the data store and hard drives

  Hello

  I am quite new to scripting, and recently, I created a monstrosity below.

  The problem is with the results. I have no idea why in the results I get the name of the virtual machine and its data store over and over again until all disks are highlighted.

  Any help will be very very much appreciated.

  The script:

  $raport = @)

  Foreach ($i in (Get-Content "Y:\vms.txt"))

  {

  $rekord = «»

  $vm = get-vm-name '$i '.

  $dysk1 = $vm | Get-hard drive | where {$_.} Name - eq 'Disk 1'}

  $datastore1 = $dysk1.filename.split("]") [0].split("[") [1]

  $disks = $vm | Get-hard drive

  {foreach ($disk in $disks)

  $hd = «»

  $disksize = ($disk. CapacityGB)

  $hd += $disksize

  {$rekord += $vm.name + ";" + $datastore1 + ";" + $hd}

  $raport += $rekord

  }

  $raport | out-file 'Y:\dyski.csv '.

  The results in csv:

  VM1Name; datastoreName; 60; VM1Name:datastoreName; 50; VM1Name; datastoreName; 40

  VM2Name; datastoreName; 45; VM2Name; datastoreName; 40

  The results of dream in csv:

  VM1Name; datastoreName; 60; 50 40

  VM2Name; datastoreName; 45 40

  etc.

  Try like this

  $raport = @)

  Foreach ($i in (Get-Content "Y:\vms.txt"))

  {

  $rekord = «»

  $vm = get-vm-name '$i '.

  $disk = $vm | Get-hard drive

  $datastore = ($disk | where {$_.}) Name - eq "disk 1" hard}).filename.split ("]") [0].split("[") [1].

  $rekord = "$($vm.)". The name); $($datastore); $(($disk | sélectionnez-ExpandProperty CapacityGB)-join ' |') »

  $raport += $rekord

  }

  $raport | out-file 'Y:\dyski.csv '.

  Your destination data store is set incorrectly

  VM_BACKUP_VOLUME = VMFS/Synology.

  It should be

  VM_BACKUP_VOLUME = / vmfs/volumes/Synology.

• Script to get VM list and count on the data store

  Hi all

  I have a script of lining that gives me the number of virtual machines on the data store, I was looking for both number of virtual machines more VM names too.

  Get-Datastore. Select Name, @{N = "NumVM"; E={@($_ | Get - VM). County}} | Sort name | Export-csv-path "C:\Users\userA\Desktop\Cluster_Host_Report\datastorevmcount.csv".

  the above script gives not only. or the number of virtual machines on the datastore in VC, can we get that all virtual machines are there on the VC data store.

  Thanks in advance a ton.

  The ForEach loop do not place anything on the pipeline, you can fix this with the call operator (and)

  & {{foreach ($ds in Get-data store)

  Get - VM - Datastore $ds |

  Select Name,

  @{N = "Datastore"; E = {$ds. Name}},

  @{N = "VM on the data store"; E = {$ds. ExtensionData.Vm.Count}}

• Script in time of latency list vm e/s and the data store the virtual machine is on

  Hello.  We have a vsphere 5.0 environment and we live a latency of IO heavy.  I'm looking for powercli script will get the latency of i/o for each virtual machine and get the data store name, to what it is now.  We will access our storage on optical fiber.  I'm trying to get a good overview of the latency of IO in a nice view in a csv file.  I found what could be a good basis to https://communities.vmware.com/thread/304827?start=0 & tstart = 0 , but I'm not sure how to get the name of the data store in the table and I think that it is written to the nfs in any case storage.  Thanks in advance for any info\advice!

  Try the next version, it includes the average latency time read/write for the virtual machine and PAHO are / s average for the virtual machine.

  Since the CSV has a row for each data store, the values for the virtual machine are repeated.

  I also added the host name

  $stat = "datastore.totalReadLatency.average","datastore.totalWriteLatency.average",  "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average","datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average"$entity = Get-VM -Name $vmName$start = (Get-Date).AddHours(-1)

• Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

  We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:

  all stores of data seen by a cluster

  the virtual machines on the data store

  the host of the virtual machine is on

  the cluster the host is in

  The output I want is

  name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster

  any help would be appreciated

  Pretty sure this will do what you need:

  $report = @()
  Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
      $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore
      foreach($datastore in $datastores){
      $vms = $datastore | Get-VM
      If ($vms.count -ge 1){
          foreach($VM in $vms){
          $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                Datastore = $datastore.Name
                VM = $VM.Name
                HostName = $VM.VMhost
                Cluster = $cluster
              }
          $report += $object
          }
  
      }
      }
  }
  $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use

  $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}
  

  Hope this helps

• PowerCLI Script to get all the data in a row store...

  Hi all

  What I'm trying to accomplish is to get this type of output:

  Cluster, host, WWN1, WWN2, Datastore1, Datastore2,..., data store DatastoreX

  So 1 row for each host, with attached all warehouses of data in the same row

  Number of data warehouses can vary from 1 to 30.

  So far, I have created this script:

  $clusters = Get-Cluster | sort
  
  
  
  $StorageInfo = @()
  
  
  
  foreach ($cluster in $clusters){
      Write-Host $cluster
      
      $VMHosts = Get-Cluster $Cluster | Get-VMhost | sort
      foreach ($VMHost in $VMHosts){
          $Vendor = "" 
          $VMhostname = $VMHost.Name
          $WWN1 = "{0:x}" -f ($vmhost.ExtensionData.config.storagedevice.HostBusAdapter | Where { $_.Key -match "FibreChannelHba" })[0].PortWorldWideName
          $WWN2 = "{0:x}" -f ($vmhost.ExtensionData.config.storagedevice.HostBusAdapter | Where { $_.Key -match "FibreChannelHba" })[1].PortWorldWideName
          
          if ( ($vmhost.ExtensionData.config.StorageDevice.ScsiLun | Where { $_.Key -match "Disk"}).count -gt 1 ){
              $Vendor = ($vmhost.ExtensionData.config.StorageDevice.ScsiLun | Where { $_.Key -match "Disk" -and $_.Model -notmatch "Block Device"})[0].Vendor
              } else { 
              $Vendor = ($vmhost.ExtensionData.config.StorageDevice.ScsiLun | Where { $_.Key -match "Disk" -and $_.Model -notmatch "Block Device"}).Vendor
              }
          
          $Datastores = $VMHost | Get-Datastore | sort
          foreach ($Datastore in $Datastores){
                      
              $myObj = @()
              $myObj = "" | Select Farm,HostName,WWN1,WWN2,Vendor,Datastore
              $myObj.Farm = $Cluster.Name
              $myObj.HostName = $VMhostname
              $myObj.WWN1 = $WWN1
              $myObj.WWN2 = $WWN2
              $myObj.Vendor = $Vendor
              $myObj.Datastore = $Datastore.name
                             
              $StorageInfo += $myObj
              }
          }
      }
      
  $StorageInfo | convertto-csv -NoTypeInformation | Out-File ./Storage-info.csv    
  
  
  

  But this gives me a line by the data store, as well as several lines for each host.

  Could someone point me to a method how to proceed?

  Thank you and best regards,

  You can use the Join function

  Something like that

  $clusters = Get-Cluster | sort
  $StorageInfo = @()
  
  foreach ($cluster in $clusters){
      Write-Host $cluster
      $VMHosts = Get-Cluster $Clusters | Get-VMhost | sort    foreach ($VMHost in $VMHosts){

          $WWN2 = "{0:x}" -f ($vmhost.ExtensionData.config.storagedevice.HostBusAdapter | where { $_.Key -match "FibreChannelHba" })[1].PortWorldWideName
  
          if ( ($vmhost.ExtensionData.config.StorageDevice.ScsiLun | where { $_.Key -match "Disk"}).count -gt 1 ){

          }
  
          $Datastores = [string]::Join(',',($VMHost | Get-Datastore | sort | %{$_.Name}))

• Script to get the ID of the new LUN to create the data store

  Forgive the question from a novice - I'm not a developer at all.

  I am trying to write a script that will create a data store on a new iSCSI LUN - the problem is that I have already several other LUNS with the warehouses of data on it, so after I refresh the HBA, basically need to understand is that the new LUN and create a store of data on it.

  I made all sorts of googling and found scripts to create a new store database, but only in the first store of data on a new iSCSI target.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

• List of virtual machines in the data store that is not in stock

  Hi guys

  PowerCLI rookie here, sorry for the stupid questions.

  I'm trying to clean up a bunch of singehost with local data warehouses. So I need a script that can display a list of files of virtual machine on a data store that is not used by VMs in the inventory. One of the problems is that the files on the data store, isn't every means, named exactly the same as the virtual machine in the inventory.

  Summer watching this, but I think the term "orphan" is "sent, in my view, it is:

  Any tips or hints to push me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  Please try:

  $AllFilesLocalDatastore = get-data store 'localdatastorename ' | Get-fileindatastore

  $FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs = get-FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs

  #The two functions above are available here http://thecrazyconsultant.com/find-orphaned-vmdk-files-workflow/

• Machine virtual IOPS / s report, how to display the name of the data store?

  Hi guys

  I am new to the Foglight community, this is a great tool, and I learn a lot.

  Currently I am trying to create a simple table that will show me metric of my VMware environment: Virtual Machine name, Datastore IOPS and data store.

  However I can't find how to include data store name in the table, because it is not a measure of the Virtual Machine. I think I need to expand the scope of my table to include VMware Datastore, but I don't know how to do this.

  -Mark

  

  Check the options available it seems that it can be done with WCF (the frame behind the Foglight dashboards).  We recommend generally customers who plan to build views WCF take adequate training or our PSO people engaged in it.

  In any case I can help show a quick example of how it's done.

  Please try this on a local/test server.

  Go to Configuration > definition >

  

  Make sure that you are in my definition, and click the icon to add a view. then choose from the tables and trees - oriented line table

  

  Give a name to the view, go public and make a portlet/reportlet and apply

  

  Switch to the configuration tab and click the change for the lines and choose a query

  Under query, expand the VMware and scroll down

  

  Until you can select the query for virtual machines

  

  And press the set button.

  Your view should look like this

  

  Now you must select the columns.

  Each column has a value you can edit and there is a button + to add additional columns.

  Lets start with the name of the virtual machine - click on the button to change to your default column and choose the context.

  

  Click on the drop down menu to enter key and choose the current line (virtual vmware machine)

  

  Click on the drop down menu to access path and scroll down until you can select the name and then click on set.

  

  You have created a table that lists the names of all virtual machines.

  You can click on save. and then click test, choose a time and click the result. A new window will open a show the list you of virtual machines.
  From here you can continue to add additional columns, each time choosing the key entry in the current line and the path to the metric/string to display.

  For example, the name of the data store.
  I change the module

  

  Click the configuration tab and click the icon to add a column

  

  For the column value, that I chose defined context once again, the key input is the current row and for the path, I expand the node for the data store

  

  And scroll until I see the Proprietename

  

  If you save and test you will see the result

  

  Keep adding columns and the data you want, notice that you have arrows that allow you to control the order of the columns.

  Note that you can click Show advanced configuration properties

  

  This will give you the opportunity to see the properties of the extra table, such as header - giving you the opportunity to give a more meaningful name (name of the data store, the name of the virtual machine, etc.) to the column header.

  

  You can now go you drag and drop the table edge/report and under my eyes, you will see your new view

  

  Drop it in the main view

  

  I hope this has given you the starting point to build this table.

  As I said, I strongly recommend going through our WCF training if you plan build more custom views or hire software Dell PSO Organisation to help build you views that correspond to your need.

  Best regards

• VM attached to the data store, but not in the config

  I have a few virtual machines that show that they are attached to a store data, but when you look at the parameters of the client both in the vmx file there is nothing that refers to this data store.  And, to top it off, the data store is just a deposit of file I only download iso files to mount for CD-ROMs.  I have made sure that the iso is not mounted on the machine (of course) and have paid through any other part of the config, but still it shows attached to that store of data, by the customer and by a powercli script.

  When you browse the data store, there is no folders or files on there that refer to this virtual machine.  I have about 10 machines all in this difficult situation.  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello..

  VM snapshots come with a .iso mounted for them? If so, that would explain it...

  If possible, can we use tri-objet with the names of virtual machine?

  Yes, just direct to Sort-Object

  Also, can we use export-csv to export put it to Excel?

  Yes, just direct to Export-CSV

• Unable to download the file to the data store

  Hello

  Can someone help me on this, I'm trying to download a file to the local data store on the esxi host, but its failure

  used as below

  $ds = get-data center 'test ' | Get-file "CISCO UCS B200 M3 | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore "datastore."

  $destination = "\".

  $source = "D:\All Cisco\ENICandFNIC readers for UCSver2.2.C\updated drivers" - this folder

  New-PSDrive-location $ds - name VimDatastore - PSProvider ds-root $destination

  Set-Location ds:------.

  Copy-DatastoreItem-point $source - Destination $destination

  What error messages you get? When I run your script, only an empty folder is performed on the data store. When you add "-recurse" it also copies child items (files and directories)

  $ds = Get-Datacenter "test" |Get-Folder "CISCO UCS B200 M3"|Get-VMHost |Get-Datastore "datastore*"
  

  $destination = "\"
  

  $source = 'D:\Test ' # -- this folder
  

  New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name ds -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root $destination
  

  Set-Location ds:\ New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name ds -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root $destination
  

  Copy-DatastoreItem -Item $source -Destination $destination -Recurse
  

  But it's only 1 data store, if I understand your example, you are trying to copy to different data stores. This could easily be done like this:

  $DS = Get-Datacenter "test" |Get-Folder "CISCO UCS B200 M3"|Get-VMHost |Get-Datastore "datastore*" | select name,DatastoreBrowserPath
  

  $source = 'D:\Test ' # -- this folder
  

   foreach ($datastore in $ds){
  

  Copy-DatastoreItem -Item $source -Destination  $datastore.DatastoreBrowserPath -Recurse
  

  }
  

• Migration of virtual machines from a data store, and then delete the data store?

  Hello

  I have a future deployment this month and my Director wants to build a new RAID 6 array, create a store of data with the new table and then move all the VMS to the newly created data store.

  Then he asked me to take the old data store and remove it and the available space between the deleted data store and other stores of data in our shared environment. The question is when the new raid is created and vm has migrated to the new data store, which is the best way to remove the data store empty and make sure that the space available for other data stores? Any help would be appreciated...

  Greg ~.

  If all controls are met, you can go ahead and take it apart without any problem.

  I have re-iterate below checks:

  -No virtual machine is in the data store

  -The data store is not part of the cluster data store

  -The data store is not managed by the DRS storage

  -IGCS is disabled for this data store

  -The data store is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.

  Especially highlighted 2 controls. Please note that SIOC can be enabled on the data without SDR photo store
