• You will need to run the script for some ESX hosts.

  Dear team,

  I m connected to 4 esx host, but I want to run the script only 2 esx host asking you to help me how to do?

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  You could start the script with the cmdlet Get-VMhost to select only the two hosts that you want to output to. For example:

  Get-VMHost host1, host2. Get - VM

  Displays only the virtual machine running on host1 and host2.

• Script for a specific virtual machine vmotion

  I play a few trials of benchmarking on VMS 2. part of the test is to migrate a virtual computer when certain I/O points are reached. I wrote a simple script for vmotion one of these virtual machines:

  $vm = get-VM-name Bench_VM | Get-View

  $chost = $vm. $host.name

  If ($chost = ESX01.company.com)

  {

  Move-VM VM - Bench_VM - Destination ESX02.company.com

  }

  on the other

  {

  Move-VM VM - Bench_VM - Destination ESX01.company.com

  }

  I get an error:

  The term 'ESX01.company.com' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or an executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path has been included, make sure the path is correct, and then try again.

  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  There are 2 problems with your script.

  (1) you can't get hostname like this

  (2) comparison of PowerShell uses the operator - eq.

  This should work better

  $vm = Get-VM -Name Bench_VM
  $chost = ($vm | Get-VMHost).Name
  if ($chost -eq "ESX01.company.com")
  {
       Move-VM -VM Bench_VM -Destination ESX02.company.com
  }
  else
  {
       Move-VM -VM Bench_VM -Destination ESX01.company.com
  }

• PowerCLI script for join ESXi hosts to Active Directory

  Is there a script that I can run to join the ESXi hosts Active Directory?  I have over 100 guests that I need to join AD and want to add it script instead of using the GUI VC.

  Thank you!

  Matt

  You can browse all of your servers, but you would need to make fully automated, is get the credentials somewhere.

  You have different passwords on all ESXi servers?

  In this case, you could do something like that

  $cred = get-Credential # prompt for user and password

  Get-VMHost | Set-VMHostADDomain -ADJoin:$true -Domain$domain-Credential $cred

  If you do not have the same account/password for all servers ESXi, you want probably asked for each host.

  You could possibly temporarily store in a file and read this file.

  $accounts = @ {}

  Import-Csv "C:\accounts.csv" | %{

  $accounts [$_.hostname] = $_.password

  }

  Get-VMHost | Set-VMHostADDomain -ADJoin:$true -Domain$domain-User root -Password $accounts[$_.Name]

  The CSV file contains 2 columns, called host name and the other called password.

  We read the CSV file and store the passwords in a hash table, where the host name is the key.

  We use the hash table to fetch the password of the Set-VMHostADDomain cmdlet tree.

• script to stop the vm on the specific host

  I am writing a script to shutdown gracefully all the VMs on a specific host.  I can make it work very well by connecting directly to the host with:

  Get - esx myesxhost-user root - password password

  stop-vmguest *.

  that works really well. But what I want to do is to connect via VC to use accounts AD rather than use root host accounts.

  so:

  to connect-viserver (or get - vc) myvcserver-user me-password password

  stop-vmguest *-Server myesxhost

  makes me an error saying "cannot bind parameter 'server'. Could not convert "myesxhost" to "VMware.VimAutomation.Types.VIServer."

  I looked around and found some info when you are connected to the VC, a host does not count as a "Server" when you use the - Server parameter. Or something like that. I'm new to scripting so apologies if I'm doing it wrong.

  So I tried something that I found on the forum here, where you create a variable for $server that is bound to a host

  $server = get-vmhost myesxhost

  And then I tried:

  stop-vmguest *-Server $server

  and I get the same error as above, including the correct host name. So, I know that I managed to create $server, but apparently this is not the right solution to the problem.

  Help please?

  Thank you!

  You can do it with the right word.

• Routing of traffic for a specific user through vpn Ipsec

  I want to route traffic to a specific host on the internet through our external interface (for example, 7.7.7.0/27) instead of the internet connection of the client (for example 9.9.9.9).

  I have already added 9.9.9.9 in the split dns acl so that the road is inserted on the client workstation and a default route on the external interface is defined as follows:

  CISCOASA # run HS | I have the route outside

  Route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 7.7.7.30 1

  Nat config

  object obj-InsideNetworks network

  NAT 7.7.7.3 Dynamics (indoor, outdoor)

  No nat

  NAT (inside, all) source static obj-InsideNetworks obj-InsideNetworks destination DEST-Interior-SHEEP inside-DEST-SHEEP no-proxy-arp static

  object obj-InsideNetworks network

  range 10.0.1.0 10.0.255.255

  object-group network inside-DEST-SHEEP

  network-object 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0

  object-network 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0

  object-network 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0

  object-network 10.0.4.0 255.255.255.128

  The static IP assigned to the vpn client is 10.0.4.150 if it is not the scope of the Interior-DEST-SHEEP.  If again I traceroute

  9.9.9.9 when connected, I get the first bond 7.7.7.1 and it stops there.

  Would appreciate any help on this.

  Hello

  If you try to NAT the VPN user traffic when it connects to the Internet through the ASA NAT configuration so that the user should then be

  network of the VPN-CLIENT-PAT object

  subnet 10.0.4.128 255.255.255.128

  dynamics of NAT (outdoors, outdoor)

  Insert the dynamic PAT public IP in the above configuration. You can either use "interface" parameter to use the public IP address of ASAs or insert a detached public IP address that can be used. I guess the Pool of VPN uses the 10.0.4.128/25 subnet.

  You must also make sure you have the following configuration enabled

  permit same-security-traffic intra-interface

  You can check with

  See the race same-security-traffic

  Note that there is another similar parameter that ends in "inter-interface" who used to work for this situation.

  Hope this helps

  Let me know if make you it work

• How can I make the page of form for the Yahoo host?

  How can I make the page of form for the Yahoo host?

  I guess you want a contact form that sends data to your e-mail account.

  1. Find out if your hosting plan supports PHP code and the PHP mail() function.
     If so, try this tutorial into 3 parts:
     ALT-Web Design & Publishing: sensitive Contact form with 3.2 Bootstrap and PHP (part 1)
  2. If your hosting plan does NOT support scripts, you will need to use a 3rd party like Wufoo.com service.  They host the form processing scripts on their own servers for you.

• How to force use of the VM a specific host in a cluster?

  I use vSphere vSphere Web Client 5.5 thru 5.0U2.

  When I create a virtual machine, I specify a host in a cluster as computing resources.  However, when I turn on the virtual machine, it uses another host.   How can I configure the virtual machine to use only a specific host in the cluster?

  Use the DRS-> Virtual Machine Options to disable the level of automation for the virtual machine. Who will be actually anchor her to this host. You could also put the VM on local storage or attach too to a resource (DVD-ROM) on this host, but the road of the DRS is the best way to go.

• Paths multiple settings for a specific LUN

  Hello

  I'm a workflow in Orchestrator automatically add a new data store in a cluster.

  This set works but I have set the parameters of Multipath for this specific to Round Robin on each host LUN.

  I created the code that affects all LUNS Round Robin, but it must be for this specific LUN only.

  Can someone help me with this?

  It's the current code I have:

  var mpp = new VcHostMultipathInfoLogicalUnitPolicy() ;
  mpp.policy = "VMW_PSP_RR";
  
  for each (var host in hosts) {
    for each (var lun in host.config.storageDevice.multipathInfo.lun) {
    var id = lun.id;
    host.configManager.storageSystem.setMultipathLunPolicy(id, mpp);
    }
  }
  

  I have the "naa", so I can do the check, but I can't do the "naa" of the multipathInfo.

  I tried to use:

  lun.lun.displayName

  lun.lun.canonicalName

  lun.lun.deviceName

  But it gives 'undefined' output

  Example of output:

  [11:12:18.346 2013-12-27] [D] LUN.id: 020003000060050768018086e430000000000003f1323134352020

  [11:12:18.346 2013-12-27] [D] LUN. MON: key - vim.host.ScsiDisk - 020003000060050768018086e430000000000003f1323134352020

  [11:12:18.346 2013-12-27] [D] LUN. LUN.displayName: undefined

  [11:12:18.346 2013-12-27] [D] LUN. LUN.canonicalName: undefined

  [11:12:18.346 2013-12-27] [D] LUN. LUN.deviceName: undefined

  Hello

  I can't get the details that you listed at the bottom of your message, too!

  But when you have a quick glance at the LUN ID you extracted, you can see that the naa.XXX is included in there.

  So I think it should be possible to extract this number, here is a small example of my environment:

  Lun.ID = 0200bf000060060e8016546b000001546b00006abf4f50454e2d56

  NAA = naa. 60060e8016546b000001546b00006abf

  Extraction:

  var myNaa = lun.id.slice(10,42);
  System.log("My Naa: naa." + myNaa);
  

  In your code, it might be something like this:

  var mpp = new VcHostMultipathInfoLogicalUnitPolicy() ;
  mpp.policy = "VMW_PSP_RR";
  for each (var host in hosts) {
    for each (var lun in host.config.storageDevice.multipathInfo.lun) {
      var id = lun.id;
      var myNaaExtract = lun.id.slice(10,42);
      if(myNaaExtract.search("60060e8016546b000001546b00006abf")!= -1) {
        System.log("Found the matching NAA...");
        host.configManager.storageSystem.setMultipathLunPolicy(id, mpp);
      }
    }
  }
  

  You may need to change the 'slice' to correspond with your table (using other numbers 10 and 42) and of course online 7 "id naa".

  I hope this helps for you...

  Kind regards

• Scripts for indesign

  Hi all.  I wonder if there is a script for indesign that allow me to put the file name / and identifiers of color at the bottom of the Document.  Also, who will all place me information where I want.  For ex...   I want to send a task to plates and rather than manually enter the name of the file - Date and time - and colors on the bottom of the plate/file.  I know that when I go to export a file or print a file it is check box to put the information on the file page and it does what I want however he put the information too low on the plate.  He added the information down into the corner of the plate area and receiving not Burnt or processed in this area.  I need a script to back up the information, if we read.

  Hi cbishop01,

  First of all, I would not recommend research by sending your files to Indesign as postscript, if your normal process is a PDF workflow. PostScript does not support some features on various output devices. When the postscript from Indesign, you can run into CMYK printing issues when dealing with PDF files and other works of art that contain some transparency effects and mixing modes that cannot be interpreted by the postscript or cannot flatten properly.

  My employer uses a script Indesign, we have developed which can be something similar to what you are looking to accomplish. If your plate is always the same size, you can create a model of tax file in Indesign with job info, color chart, date and time, and you want to integrate the model tax. You can use a script Indesign to automatically update the model every time that you print in PDF format (which can be done by adding a custom ease menu item).

  Plate files vary from a file in a file, you can convert the file name, time, blocks of color name text in an Indesign library item and drop it right in the position desired on each individual plate installation. You will not have to change these items, you will only place a group element where you want to go.

  Is this something that will work for you?

• advice of script for a beginner please

  I am a beginner, trying to enter VMware (winding maze lost in corridors...)
  
  With vSphere Client I can manually create virtual machines on our 5 ESXi host, producing an OVA of our product for distribution file.
  I am obliged to describe the process.

  Can I set up and configure virtual machines using only the ESXi console?
  
  VCLI (free download) allows Windows to create virtual machines on an ESXi host?

  Outline of what needs of script:

  • create a VM (this is the only bit that I was able to do it, using the console for ESXi)
  • install CentOS Linux using anaconda with kickstart script
  • Configure the virtual machine and the export

  Advice, tips or pointers to get this done will be very appreciated!

  Thank you very much

  Alan

  A few answers to your questions

  1. you will need to get an ISO of the CD of CentOS and store it somewhere on a data store.

  Once this is done, you can use the cmdlet Set-CDDrive with the IsoPath parameter.

  2. use the cmdlet New-VM , something like that.

  You get the default value of the bu NIC, just specify what portgroup to connect to

  $vm = New - VM - name MyVM - ID centosGuest - NumCpu 1 - MemoryMB (1 GB / 1 MB)-DiskMb (60 GB / 1 MB)-NetworkName MyPG

  3 see forces a VM to access BIOS screen on the next reboot

  4. use the Start-VM cmdlet

  Start-VM - $vm VM - confirm: $false

  5 once again with the cmdlet Set-CDDrive , but the use of the HostDevice parameter

  6 see specify bootable for a virtual machine devices

  7. do not apply. You change the boot order before starting the virtual machine

  8. who could perhaps be done with the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet and the bash ScriptType parameter. But I have not tested with CentOS.

  9. it's a little tricky. The external vSphere unclear when a program inside a guest what OS is finished. There are ways to send some kind of semaphores, see, for example, waiting for the customization of the OS to complete

  10. There are a lot of the cmdlet Set-availabe, i.e. Whole-VM, Set-NetworkAdapter...

  As a guideine, you should always try to translate your literally to scripts for automation of manual procedures. Sometimes, you should first rethink your account automation procedure.
