  Hello

  Please ask for assistance to handset scripts in the attached text file. We have a requirement to find below a collection of VM VM details. the names are in a text file.

  VMName VMHost, ClusterName, location of data store.

  Also, we need the list is sorted with VMNames

  Thanks in advance

  Is it possible to use autosize, as the data store long filenames trunctes.

  Try Autosize

  Get - VM (Get-content c:\temp\vms.txt). Select-Object - property @{Name = "VMName"; Expression = {$_.} Name}},VMHost,@{name='ClusterName'; Expression = {$_.} VMHost.Parent}}, @{"Name" = "Datastore"; expression = {($_.)} DatastoreIDList | %{(Get-View-nom de la propriété-Id $_). Name}) - join ","}} | FT - AutoSize

  Try packing?

  Get - VM (Get-content c:\temp\vms.txt). Select-Object - property @{Name = "VMName"; Expression = {$_.} Name}},VMHost,@{name='ClusterName'; Expression = {$_.} VMHost.Parent}}, @{"Name" = "Datastore"; expression = {($_.)} DatastoreIDList | %{(Get-View-nom de la propriété-Id $_).

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

  Yes, just direct to Sort-Object

  Get - VM (Get-content c:\temp\vms.txt).

• Empty folders "masters" and "clones" on the data store

  Clean an old data store, so I can get back to the place of SAN, I migrated all the models and virtual computers out of the data store (and deleted empty folders that leaves behind migration.  (Grrr...).  There are two empty folders left on this data store, called "clones" and "masters".  Nobody here knows how they got there, but they look like type system.  Anyone know if they are system files that may be moved or may be deleted?  (Screen attached)

  no system records, if they are empty it is safe to delete.

• 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

• 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

• 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

• How to list all files within a data store and sent an email...

  Hello

  I know that within a data store there of are VM, but these virtual machines are right files?

  Some might create a virtual machine, remove the inventory but do not delete the folder/VM from the data store.

  Is thre anyway to get a script to list all records, not VM. s within a data store and be able to send emails?

  Thanks for your help,

  How about something like this:

  $VIServer = "YourVIServer".

  $EmailFrom = "Sender@Email".

  $EmailTo = "Recipient@Email".

  $Subject = "email subject".

  $SMTPServer = "YourSMTPServer".

  SE connect-VIServer $VIServer

  $datastores = get-Datastore

  {Foreach ($datastore to $datastores)

  $msg = "' nFolders in Datatore:"+ $datastore. " Name + "' not n".

  New-PSDrive-location $datastore - PSProvider data store name - VimDatastore-root '-' | Out-Null

  $folders = get-ChildItem Datastore:------|? {$_. ItemType - eq "File"}

  Remove-PSDrive Datastore. Out-Null

  {Foreach ($folder in $folders)

  $msg = "' t ' + $folder. Name + "' n '.

  }

  }

  Send-MailMessage-to $EmailTo - of $EmailFrom - $msg - SmtpServer $SMTPServer body-subject $Subject

  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  This will send an email with an output similar to the following:

  Files in Datatore: local-esx100

  Test-VM

  ARandomFolder

  MoreFolders

  Files in Datatore: local-esx101

• Can I customize the size of the field on a field of choice.  I want to get 10 everywhere and even with the label 1, 2, 3, etc.

  Can I customize the size of the field on the unique choice fields.  I want to get 10 everywhere and even with the label being small, i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc. I can't get to fit on a single line.

  Hi restorechiropractic,

  You can resize a single choice form field by dragging the right side of the form field item. However, even by doing this I was able to get eight choices by line. I don't think that there is no way to work around the limitation of the size of the form.

  Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

• How to set vm-description/notes and get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine

  Hello guys,.
  I have vCenter Orchestrator 4.1.1 build 733 installed and it works fine, but I need your help for the following two issues:
  (1) I want to put the description/notes of a virtual machine using a workflow. But I have not found any API useful to create this workflow (I don't want custom attributes, see attachment for details).

  (2) how can I get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine? I need this name for a workflow.
  I need your help.
  Thanks in advance!

  With regard to the notes of the VM, the following code (see enclosed package) can do this:

  var oldNotes = vm.summary.config.annotation;
  If (oldNotes == null) {oldNotes = ' ' ;}}
  System.log ("Notes of VM current:" + oldNotes);
  Now put the new notes:
  Start by creating a context
  Context of var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  Update the annotation with the new value property
  configSpec.annotation = notes;
  launch the task to reconfigure the virtual machine with the new context
  NOTE: This is sure to apply with a virtual machine under tension
  var task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (configSpec);

  And, in what concerns the VM information, take a look at the workflow of the library: \Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Others\Extract virtual machine information

• 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:

• Name of device for the data store list

  Need help with this simple script

  $datastores = get-Datastore-location "CXXV. Where-Object {$_.ExtensionData.Info.GetType ().} Name - eq "VmfsDatastoreInfo"}

  $myColCurrent = @)

  ForEach ($store in $datastores)

  {

  $myObj = "" | Select-Object Name, devicename

  $myObj.Name = $store.name

  Write-Host $myObj.Name

  $myObj.devicename = $store.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent.DiskName

  Write-Host $myObj.devicename

  the name of the data store is writtenl properly but the devicename is empty and get this warning:

  WARNING: The 'Accessible' type of data store property is obsolete. Use the property 'State '.

  Strange thing is that the Script works lab powercli linking the vCenter lab. But gives the error in the production powecli server to vcenter prod.  powercli and vcenter server versions are the same.

  Help is greatly appreciated

  The extended property is an array.

  Try to change this line

  $myObj.devicename = $store.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent.DiskName

  in this

  $myObj.devicename = [string]: join (",",($store.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent |) %{$_. DiskName}))

  You can safely ignore the warning messages, or may disable them with the Set-PowerCLIConfiguration cmdlet and the DisplayDeprecationWarnings switch.

• How to list the contents of the data store

  Hello

  New to VM, but have been LURKING in the background. :-) I'd like to see what is contained on each LUN via PowerCLI without having to go to Vcenter and browse the data store, I want the news of data store to browse. CLI.

  Hope it makes sense.

  Thank you

  Hello-

  Well, "vmstore" is not a directory, but rather a PowerShell (a PSDrive) drive.  Then, when you cd or Set-Location for "vmstore:", it is comparable to the definition of the location on the D: drive.  You can use "cd d:\". "to move to the PSDrive D:.

  To try to shed more light on this, you can use the Get-PSDrive cmdlet to list all current PSDrives in your PowerShell session, as:

  PS C:\> Get-PSDrive
  
  Name           Used (GB)     Free (GB) Provider      Root
  ----           ---------     --------- --------      ----
  Alias                                  Alias
  C                  31.76         31.62 FileSystem    C:\
  cert                                   Certificate   \
  D                 393.04        538.47 FileSystem    D:\
  ...
  Function                               Function
  HKCU                                   Registry      HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  HKLM                                   Registry      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  Variable                               Variable
  ...
  vmstore                                VimDatastore  \LastConnectedVCenterServer
  vmstores                               VimDatastore  \
  ...
  

  Examples of the PSDrives in your PowerShell session: the volumes of Windows on your machine ("C:\ », « D:\ (', etc.), the functions and Variables defined in your PowerShell session ("' function:------" and "Variable:------" "), Windows registry on your machine (" "HKLM:------" and "HKCU:------"-HKeyLocalMachine and HKeyCurrentUser "), and so on.  To navigate to one of those, you can use Set-Location or alias "cd".

  Then, you should be able to do a "cd vmstore:------" go initially to the "vmstore" PSDrive.  How do I?
