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
$vmName = "VM*" $stat = "datastore.totalReadLatency.average","datastore.totalWriteLatency.average", "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average","datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average"$entity = Get-VM -Name $vmName$start = (Get-Date).AddHours(-1) $dsTab = @{}Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Type -eq "VMFS"} | %{ $key = $_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Uuid if(!$dsTab.ContainsKey($key)){ $dsTab.Add($key,$_.Name) } else{ "Datastore $($_.Name) with UUID $key already in hash table" }} Get-Stat -Entity $entity -Stat $stat -Start $start |Group-Object -Property {$_.Entity.Name} | %{ $vmName = $_.Values[0] $VMReadLatency = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "datastore.totalReadLatency.average"} | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average $VMWriteLatency = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "datastore.totalWriteLatency.average"} | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average $VMReadIOPSAverage = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average"} | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average $VMWriteIOPSAverage = $_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average"} | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average $_.Group | Group-Object -Property Instance | %{ New-Object PSObject -Property @{ VM = $vmName Host = $_.Group[0].Entity.Host.Name Datastore = $dsTab[$($_.Values[0])] Start = $start DSReadLatencyAvg = [math]::Round(($_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "datastore.totalReadLatency.average"} | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average),2) DSWriteLatencyAvg = [math]::Round(($_.Group | where {$_.MetricId -eq "datastore.totalWriteLatency.average"} | Measure-Object -Property Value -Average | Select -ExpandProperty Average),2) VMReadLatencyAvg = [math]::Round($VMReadLatency,2) VMWriteLatencyAvg = [math]::Round($VMWriteLatency,2) VMReadIOPSAvg = [math]::Round($VMReadIOPSAverage,2) VMWriteIOPSAvg = [math]::Round($VMWriteIOPSAverage,2) } }} | Export-Csv c:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture

List of Cluster and the virtual machines running on this group
Hello
I am looking for a way to discover all of the virtual machines that belong to a cluster. In other words, I want a list that maps a cluster to all virtual machines running on it.
In the documentation of the API, I find that "ClousterComputeResouce"has a managed object to "HostSystem" reference. "
And "HostSystem" is a reference to managed object to the 'VirtualMachine'.
So I can do it like this: ClusterComputeResource-> ManagedObjectRefence-> ManagedObjectRefence (VirtualMachine)-> whatever_properties_I_need_from_the_VM (HostSystem).
However, this would cause a lot of ' Vim::get_views"calls within a"foreach"loop." It would be a deterrent to performance as the vCetner in question has ~ 50 clusters and has ~ 3500 running VMs.
I think this was going to literally kill the VirtualCenter with so many API calls.
My Question: is there an effective way to find Cluster and their respective VMs in vSphere SDK Perl.
In vSphere client, we get the tab 'Virtual Machine' when we click on the Cluster and you can see all the virtual machines that belong to this cluster. So I hope that there must be an easier way.
Thank you.
Hello
You don't need the host_view for this action. Why don't you use begin_entity for views of the vm?
my $cluster = 'cluster1. "
My $cluster_view = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'ClusterComputeResource',
filter => {"name"-online qr / ^ $cluster / I});
{if ($cluster_view)}
My $vm_views = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine',begin_entity => $cluster_view.
Properties-online ['name']);
foreach {$vm_ref(@$vm_views) my
print $vm_ref--> name. » \n » ;
}
}Hope that helps!

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

Run the script inside the virtual machine the user when the user connects or reconnects
Hello
is it possible to detect the user that the user has connected or reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?
It is also possible within the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?
One way to do this is via the following powershell command, but this only works if the user is connected through PCoIP Protocol.
Get-WmiObject-class Win32_PerfRawData_TeradiciPerf_PCoIPSessionGeneralStatistics - SessionDurationSeconds property
Best regards
> it is possible to detect the user that the user has connected either reconnected to his office inside the virtual machine and run a script?
You can run scripts as user on login and reconnect, this has been a feature since 3.0. See running commands on the desktop view.
> It is possible inside the VM user to determine if the user is connected and how long?
I don't think that we expose, but you should be able to query Windows for the connection time, or you could write the last time to connect with a script (maybe that is the reason for your first question?).

My vSphere infrastructure 5 uses several data stores.
Two data warehouses are associated with NFS on different NAS shares.
I migrate VM to a data to another store.
The navigation data store, I see that the files are moved from the old data store to the new and that no file belonging to the migrated VM still does exist on the old data store.
If I look at the list of VMs on the old data store, I still see the old VM.
I see it in the list of the virtual machine on the new data store as well.
I checked that no .iso no pagefile is in the old data store.
How can I update the list of the virtual machine on the old data store?
Above all, how can I safely delete the old data store by ensuring that the virtual machine works very well on the new data store and I don't lose anything?
Concerning
Marius
This use of data store 'Phantom' is usually observed, if the current configuration of the virtual computer points to the 'old' data store (diskette, CD-ROM) or the virtual machine contains snapshots where - at the time where tone have been created - the VM has had these references. Once the snapshots are deleted from data store 'ghost' will go away from summary of the virtual machine.

List of the files in the data store for the virtual machine
Hello
How to list the files of data store for the virtual machine? I can't find reference to the command.
Thank you
If you have installed vCLI and vSphere SDK for Perl, you have extra utilities on top of what is there with the vCLI, take a look at this list: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_util_index.html
A script that can help with the list of files to store data for a given virtual machine is dsbrowse.pl
Here is an example:

I am writing a script to stop all the virtual machine as follows:

But he failed, the news of the error:

the feedback by the command "echo $VM" is the correct path, but why it says file unknown?

Many "channels ATA" listed under "eject the material safely on the virtual machine.
Hello world:
Just create a new VM WIndows 7 Pro (clean install) as a guest in 10 Workstation running on a host windows system 7 Pro. When copying a large number of files over the network to a drive on data for the virtual machine, I noticed the noise of tale tell us to what looked like a point USB port being ejected and then reconnected. When I checked the icon 'Remove hardware safely' on the virtual machine there is a huge list indicating "Eject ATA channel 0" through channel 29? There don't seem to be valid items associated with these elements. There are also various other items that seem to be standard items for the virtual machine. I don't have it under other VM, although most of those that have been created in earlier versions of VMware Workstation and then upgraded to Workstation 10. Is this normal? Or something is running wild on this virtual machine?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards, Dave Melnyk
Hi Dave,.
It is "normal" that the majority of our virtual PCI/PCIe and SATA devices are hot pluggable. Another explanation (and workarounds, if you find it distracting) are in this thread: 10 Workstation: Windows 'Remove' Gone Wild
We had a few questions about this lately, and we have had discussions on the question of whether we could eventually add a checkbox to control if these devices are default hot pluggable.
In the meantime, feel free to ignore them or use the workarounds in the first thread I linked above.
See you soon,.

The virtual machine failover and restart with vSphere HA time
Hello
What factors would affect the time required for vSphere HA to computers failover virtual to a host failed to another active host in the cluster? It would be important how much space drive by using virtual machine is or how big it is? Or who should not matter?
Thank you
It should not matter. HA initiates the failover and the powers on the virtual machine regardless of size. Note, however, that there could be a delay in time OS/App.
Another parameter that can affect the failover time is the number of virtual machines being switched at some point. If you have more healthy hosts in the cluster, then VM failovers happen simultaneously reduce the failover time.

I checked a few posts on this forum on how to create the virtual machine through vmcreate.pl, but responses was not so clear to me...
These are the topics I've read:

What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?
I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.
After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.
I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?
According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:
By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.
However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

Hey all,.
Evaluating 60A expired on my ESXi (5.0.0.623860) host which runs a couple of virtual machines. Virtual machines have been setup to autostart when the host said, but now the assessment is complete, the virtual machine no longer autostart.
In addition, I ran a simple scipt using PowerCLI. This was shot issue a stop host command, which in turn stop the gracfully VMs, then stop the host: the script command were:
Connect-VIServer -server mysESXiHost -User root -Password xxxxxxx Stop-VMHost mysESXiHost -Confirm:$false -force
If I run these commands from the PowerCLI confirmation, I see the following error message:
Stop-VMHost : 08/12/2012 17:01:52 Stop-VMHost fault.RestrictedVersion .summary At line:1 char:12 + Stop-VMHost <<<< mysESXiHost -Confirm:$false -force + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Stop-VMHost], RestrictedVersi on + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_VmHostServiceImpl_ShutdownVmHost_ViErro r,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.StopVMHost
What I read, I thought that current same ESXi of execution in the free license must always let these things happen, or am I wrong?

There are two things to note:
