• Script to find all the VMS with dates/no tools installed.

  Hey,.

  I need help guys.  I need a script that finds all VMS in vCenter which do not have the tools installed or tools or outdated.  I also need the script to generate the following data in a CSV file.  Name of the virtual machine and the State of the tools (not installed or outdated).

  Thank you guys.

  Good suggestion. 'Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine' is much faster than ' Get - VM | Get-View»

  You inspired me to go at maximum speed. So I moved all the filtering also to the cmdlet Get-View. The following script is used in my environment about 30% faster than what you suggested. My first script took me 1 minute 50 seconds. Your script 1,624 seconds. And the following script 1,110 seconds in an environment with about 500 virtual machines...

  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Guest.ToolsStatus -Filter @{
    "Config.Template"="False";"Guest.ToolsStatus"="toolsNotInstalled|toolsNotRunning|toolsOld"} | `
  Select-Object @{N="Name";E={$_.Name}},@{Name="ToolsStatus";E={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}} | `
  Export-CSV -Path VmToolsStatus.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  "Config.Template"="False" filter models so that you get only the virtual machines.

  "Guest.ToolsStatus"="toolsNotInstalled | toolsNotRunning | toolsOld" returns invited with ToolsStatus toolsNotInstalled or toolsNotRunning or toolsOld.

  Thanks to Eric Wannemacher to show me how to use regular expressions in a Get - view filter in his blogpost: VMware PowerCLI and Get-View filters.

• need a script to find vmware tools does not not on virtual machines

  I need a script to find the virtual machines running without vmware tools?

  Hello, nareshunik-

  You can add an extra point to the filter to include only the virtual machines that are on, as:

  ## get names of powered-on VMs that either do not have Tools installed, or on which Tools are not currently runningGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name, Guest.ToolsStatus -Filter @{"Guest.ToolsStatus" = "toolsNotInstalled|toolsNotRunning"; "Runtime.PowerState" = "PoweredOn"} | Select Name, @{n="ToolsStatus"; e={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}}

• Script to find duplicates in a row and combine the data in specific column

  Looking for a script to find duplicates in a line like below...

  "VM1', 'VM', 'LDEV', 'LDEV1', 'LDEV2', 'LDEV3', 'LDEV4', 'LDEV5', 'LDEV6 '.
  'VM', 'VI-SVC-VM001', "0000ef ', ' '," "," "," "," ""
  'VM', 'VI-SVC-VM001', "0000de ', ' '," "," "," "," ""
  'VM', 'VI-SVC-VM002', "0000df ', ' '," "," "," "," ""
  'VM', 'VI-SVC-VM002', "0000f0 ', ' '," "," "," "," ""

  .. .and manipulate the data in the following:

  "VM1', 'VM', 'LDEV', 'LDEV1', 'LDEV2', 'LDEV3', 'LDEV4', 'LDEV5', 'LDEV6 '.
  "" 'VM', 'VI-SVC-VM001', '0000ef', "0000de ', ' ', ' '," "," ""
  "" 'VM', 'VI-SVC-VM002', '0000df', "0000f0 ', ' ', ' '," "," ""

  (Note: VM VI-SVC-VM001 object has two LDEVs him assigned 0000ef and 0000de)

  There may be two, three, or n LDEVs attributed to each VM object. I guess I have to build a table and the "join-collections" script can't cut it on this one.

  I have the process to follow, I just need to put it in a loop (note, data already sorted on the virtual computer object):

  1 import-csv

  2. read each line, matched VM object, copy each found LDEV and place it in the next LDEV along

  3. remove the duplicate line

  4. rinse, repeat until the end

  Thank you.

  It's a solution pleasant Luc. I didn't use the Group-Object cmdlet to solve this problem.

  Now I can go to sleep without having to worry about this problem more.

• script to find configuration of esxi host problems.

  Need a script to find if all configuration host on all issues the esxi host in the vCenter...

  example: alert, warning.

  Hello, nareshunik-

  You can consult the properties TriggeredAlarmState and ConfigIssue to display HostSystem for the VMHost objects, such as:

  Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property Name,TriggeredAlarmState,ConfigIssue | ?{$_.TriggeredAlarmState -or $_.ConfigIssue} | `    select name,         @{n="NumConfigIssues"; e={($_.ConfigIssue | Measure-Object).Count}},        @{n="NumAlarms"; e={($_.TriggeredAlarmState | Measure-Object).Count}}
  

  This will return just all hosts with a triggered alarm, a configuration problem or two (and the course of each):

  Name       NumConfigIssues  NumAlarms
  ----       ---------------  ---------
  myHost001                1          0
  myHost122                2          0

• script to find the local TSM and TSM remote is activated on the esxi host

  Need to generate scripts to find on which esxi host in the vcenter is enabled for Local TSM and TSM remote...

  Hello, nareshunik-

  Thanks to the handy Get-VMHostService cmdlet, you can quite easily get this info:

  Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService | ?{"TSM","TSM-SSH" -contains $_.Key -and $_.Running} | Select VMHost,Key,Running
  

  The result is something like:

  VMHost    Key      Running
  ------    ---      -------
  myHost01  TSM         True
  myHost02  TSM         True
  myHost05  TSM         True
  myHost05  TSM-SSH     True
  

  TSM is the local service of TSM or "ESXi Shell", and the TSM - SSH service is "SSH".  How does do for you?

• A Script to find and replace the layer names

  Is there scripts to find and replace the names of layers?

  There is an excellent script available for Photoshop that allows you not only to replace words in layer names, but also insert words as prefixes, Suffixes and sequential numbers.

  The version of the illustrator of this script allows only sequential numbering: it does not offer search and replace words.

  Ideally, it would be great if there were something that could find multiple and replaces in a go:

  (for example

  You have layers like this car, the dog, the bat

  You enter: because (Option1), dog (Option2), Bat (Option3)

  Your layers become then: option 1, option 2, Option3).

  )

  Big_SmiLe, which is a very good start! Step 1 of learning how to Script is indeed, by adjusting an existing simple script to make things more complicated. (And usually then "break something", which is also a necessary part of the process.)

  You are right your comment, it comes to repetitive things. For one or two different articles that wouldn't be a problem, but in the longer lists you are soon lost.

  As usual to work with lists of search - replace is to build a table:

  var layernames = [
  [ 'FHairBowlBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy1' ],
  [ 'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy2' ],
  [ 'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair', 'Hairboy3' ],
  ];
  

  The general idea is to loop through all the names, check if the current layer name is "layernames [i] [0]" (the left column) and if so, rename it "layernames [i] [1]" (the right column). If you know how to write a loop in Javascript, then you can implement this immediately.

  However...

  A more advanced method to do this didn't need even loop on all layernames - instead you can immediately 'get' the correct name by layer! It's magic! Almost!

  The trick is to use a Javascript object rather than a table. JavaScript objects are nothing special; "Layers" of Illustrator are an array of objects, and each object 'sex' has a 'name' property, which you can read and set the value. What I do here, is to create a new object, where the part 'name' is the name of the original layer and its value is the name of the new layer. All you need to check each layer is if there is a "object.originalLayerName" property and if so, assign its value to this layer name.

  It looks a bit like the table above, except that (1) you use {.} instead of [..] to create an object and (2) you add pairs "name: value" instead of 'value' only (in fact, the 'name' of a value in a table is simply her number).

  So here's what it looks like:

  // JavaScript Document
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  // name indexed object
  var layernames = {
   'FHairBowlBoy *Hair':'Hairboy1',
   'FHairCurlyafroBoy *Hair':'Hairboy2',
   'FHairSpikyBoy *Hair':'Hairboy3'
  };
  // loop through all layers
  for (var i = 0; i < doc.layers.length; i++)
  {
   //Set up Variable to access layer name
   var currentLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
   if (layernames[currentLayer.name])
   {
    currentLayer.name = layernames[currentLayer.name];
   }
  }
  

  Enjoy!

• Script to find the 'top 10' VMs consuming disk performance?

  We're troubleshooting an issue of storage and I'm looking for a better way to find virtual machines that consume disk peformance.  If I had a wish list, the script would be the 'top 10' VMs with the highest disk throughput and the e/s in the last 24 hours.

  Such a script exist?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  You can try the following one liner

  Get-VM | Select Name,
       @{N="AverageIO";
         E={($_ | Get-Stat -Stat disk.usage.average -Start (Get-Date).adddays(-1) | Measure-Object -Average -Property Value).Average}} | `
       Sort-Object -Property AverageIO -Descending | Select -First 10
  

  This example uses the metric of disk.usage.average but you can easily use any of the other measures related to the disc.

  I had multiple values for some of the entries, that's why I tried to analyze with the first '-1' and outside the script, the values return very well.

  Any help?
  

  And this is the cause of the problem.

  You feed the New - VM name in fact only 1, and the cmdlet, by OBN, tries to resolve the name into an object.

  But since there are 2 connections, it will get an object returned by each connection.

  Where the multiple value message.

  Check if you have several Connect-VIServers in the script and maybe close all connections before the script starts.

  Or switch to simple mode with the Set-PowerCLIConfiguration cmdlet.

• Script to find fixed values

  Hello world

  I am new to tiara scripts and I'd appreciate any help I can get.

  We get the various channels of test data, including: time, speed, engine rpm, distance, etc. Need to find:

  (1) the time interval between a State and a set of fixed values of distance (m) or speed (km/h).

  (2) get the speed of ROTATION of the motor when the speed reaches 100 km/h for the first time

  For 1), the departure time is when the value in the AccelPedal canal is equal to or greater than 99. In theory, the vehicle came to rest for at least 30 seconds at the beginning that, at that same moment, the distance and the speed should be close to zero while the value in the channel optional BrakePedalPos must be zero.

  The time intervals are caught between the above departure time and time to reach:

  (A) the value of closest distance from you to: 6.1, 12.2 and 18.3 meters

  (B) the most close speed value: 10, 30, 50, 80, 16.09, 32.19, 48,28, 64,37 and 80,47 km/h.

  Finally, it takes the average of the chain of acceleration between the time of departure (or line) and the time (or line) when the speed reaches 24,135 kph.

  As final note, the sampling rate of data common to all channels but may vary from one test to another.

  Looks like the ChnFind command will be your best friend.

  Here is the syntax that will find what are greater than 10 channel named 'Channel' in the Group of channels "Group1".

  Dim intMyResult
  intMyResult = ChnFind("Ch(""Group1/Channel"") > 10", 250 ')

  It will return the index in the channel where found. I suggest you seek help, details of the ChnFind command.

  I also love going out a reference channel. This allows me to treat each channel in a table (from 1 not to zero).

  The ChnFind command is faster than using channel references, but not as much.

  Channel references are out as in this example.

  Dim oChn

  Set oChn = Data.Root.ChannelGroups ("EXAMPLE"). Channels ("Revs")

  for i = 1 oChn.Size

  If oChn (i) > 10then

  endif

  next

  It will then take reference to the "EXAMPLE" group and the name of the channel "tricks".

  Then you can refer to string values using

  oChn (10) to get/set the value 10 in the channel.

  Hope this helps some.

• Need help with script to find the virtual computer by IP

  Looking for a script that will correspond to the vm to IP, but should be able to find several IPS at the same time.

  I put this together from scripts on the net, which works well to search for a single IP address at a time:

  $match_address = Read-Host "enter the IP address to find."

  Get - VM | %{

  $vmips = $_. Guest.IPAddress

  {foreach ($ip in $vmips)

  If ($ip - as $match_address) {}

  "VM found correspondence address: {0}" f $_. Name

  }

  }

  }

  But would need to be able to enter several IP addresses of different subnets in the $match_address and search script for a match for every ip address.

  Could you please try this?

  function search-VMAssociatedToIP {}

  (param

  $ArrayOfIPToCheck

  )

  {in process

  $VMsAndAssociatedIP = get-view - viewtype 'virtualmachine ' | {foreach-object

  $VM = $_

  $_.guest.net | {foreach-object

  $Net = $_

  $_. IpAddress | {foreach-object

  $IpAddress = $_

  $Output = New-Object-Type PSObject-Prop ([ordered] @ {}

  "VM" = $VM. Name

  "NetworkName" = $Net.Network

  "IP address" = $IpAddress

  })

  Return $Output

  }

  }

  }

  $ArrayOfIPToCheck | {foreach-object

  $IPtoCheck = $_

  $VMsAndAssociatedIP | where {$_.} IpAddress - eq $IPtoCheck} | {foreach-object

  $Output = New-Object-Type PSObject-Prop ([ordered] @ {}

  "IpToCheck" = $IPtoCheck

  'VM' = $_. VM

  "NetworkName" = $_.NetworkName

  'IpAddress' = $_. IpAddress

  })

  Return $Output

  }

  }

  }

  }

  $MyArray = "10.0.33.1","10.0.30.11","10.0.20.11","10.0.32.1".

  Search for VMAssociatedToIP - ArrayOfIPToCheck $MyArray | OGV

  Use a table entry.

  First get the IP addresses of all computers installed correctly (only for virtual machines with VMware tools) virtual based on get - view so the collection will be fast.

  Then compare with the PPE provided as input.

• Script to output data storages VMs

  Hi all

  I'm new to these forums and PowerCLI.  I'm doing something that I thought would be simple, but I failed miserably.

  I want to create a script that will take a specified list of specific and output of each data store data stores and the virtual machines that are on it.

  The output from the example:

  VM data store

  --------------         ----------------

  Datastore1 VM1

  Datastore1 VM2

  VM3 Datastore2

  Datastore2 VM4

  Example of script I've tried to create:

  $Result = @)

  $Datastores = get-Datastore < Datastore1 >, < Datastore2 >

  foreach ($Datastore to $Datastores)

  {
  $Result += get-datastore $Datastore | Get - VM | Select @{N = "Datastore"; E = {$datastore. Name}},@{N="VM '; E = {$VM. Name}}
  }

  $Result

  It's just one of the many examples of scripts that I've tried and failed with.  Any help is VERY appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

  One way to do that is like that

  foreach($ds in Get-Datastore -Name datastore1,datastore2){  Get-VM -Datastore $ds |  Select Name,@{N="Datastore";E={$ds.Name}}}
