• Script to keep the monitoring parameters of VM to 'Disable '.

  I'm looking for a way to create a script to keep the monitoring parameters of VM to 'Disable '. Here's my question:

  
  Symantec ApplicationHA requires that the 'Follow-up of the VM' option under VMware HA fixed "VM and Application monitoring. If I set this parameter as already said, all the virtual machines in the cluster gets 'Use the parameters of Cluster' and they are part of the surveillance with risk of unexpected VM resets. So I'm going to select 'Disable' for all virtual machines leaving only a couple of VMs who must actually followed even with a reset the virtual machine.

  Challenge
  

  1. How to get this applies with a script. There are hundreds of virtual machines, I need to adjust the monitoring to disable.
  2. Virtual machines continue to add to the cluster and they get 'use the Cluster setting' default and someone had to keep track of these and follow up on "Disable" the value manually.

  I want to know if there is a way, it can be script to change the setting "VM Monitoring" to "Disable" as well as the new creation of VM.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  

  Hello, vSphereUser7-

  Mhmm... And updated two values I mentioned that you should use in your environment?

  0) the name of the folder that contains the virtual machines to keep tracking enabled on

  (1) the name of the cluster whose update settings

  And, looking at the code, it would have a degree more to add in the DasSettings of the specification of the config.  This will only act on the virtual machines for which the settings of the virtual machine for monitoring have been changed in the HA cluster settings, I see.  So, it can act on all the virtual machines you want.

  I saw your other thread at http://communities.vmware.com/message/1858996#1858996, where refer you to the post of Damian Karlson on the (http://damiankarlson.com/2011/01/13/managing-vmware-has-vm-monitoring-powercli/).  Method of Damian to disable monitoring on a VM would be a nice way to do it.  In developing his technique and performing the config for multiple virtual machines, you could do it like:

  $strMyClusterName = "myCluster"## get the .NET View object of the cluster, with a couple of choice properties$viewMyCluster = Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource -Property Name, Configuration.DasVmConfig -Filter @{"Name" = "^${strMyClusterName}$"}
  
  ## make a standard VmSettings object$dasVmSettings = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDasVmSettings -Property @{    vmToolsMonitoringSettings = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterVmToolsMonitoringSettings -Property @{        enabled = $false        vmMonitoring = "vmMonitoringDisabled"        clusterSettings = $false    } ## end new-object} ## end new-object
  
  ## create a new ClusterConfigSpec object with which to reconfig the cluster$oClusterConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpec## for each VM View, add a DasVmConfigSpec to the ClusterConfigSpec objectGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name -SearchRoot $viewMyCluster.MoRef | %{    $viewThisVM = $_    ## the operation for this particular DasVmConfigSpec; if a spec already exists for the cluster for this VM, "edit" it, else, "add" it    $strOperationForThisVM = if ($viewMyCluster.Configuration.DasVmConfig | ?{($_.Key -eq $viewThisVM.MoRef)}) {"edit"} else {"add"}    $oClusterConfigSpec.DasVmConfigSpec += New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDasVmConfigSpec -Property @{        operation = $strOperationForThisVM     ## set the operation to "edit" or "add"        info = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDasVmConfigInfo -Property @{            key = [VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference]$viewThisVM.MoRef            dasSettings = $dasVmSettings        } ## end new-object    } ## end new-object} ## end foreach-object
  
  ## reconfigure the cluster with the given ClusterConfigSpec for all of the VMs$viewMyCluster.ReconfigureCluster_Task($oClusterConfigSpec, $true)
  

  I simplified the creation of an object a little and added specifications of configuration of computers all virtual config spec a single cluster, so that just ReconfigureCluster() only once.

  It is important to note that the specifications being created to update the monitoring parameters given VM can have a type of operation of 'Add' or 'change '.  If we changed the parameter a VM in the HA settings for the cluster, it creates an Configuration.DasVmConfig object for this virtual machine.  The functioning of these virtual machines must be 'Edit '.  Otherwise, you have to 'Add '.  See the commented line in the code that deals with this topic.

  If you do not have that correct property creating the specification, you will get an error (in the vSphere client) as the cluster reconfig task tries to complete: "specified parameter was not correct."

  Copy the following code disables tracing for all the virtual machines in the given cluster (adjust the name of cluster variable before you run).  You could exclude the virtual machines that you want to continue to follow (or change in the GUI at will), or run a similar code to allow follow-up again for desire, VMs, or...

• Ability of the cluster script

  Hello

  I need help for the correct syntax for the line 61-63 in the attached script and get the correct values for line 56-57 a per cluster basis.

• Script to pull the last timestamp spend all hosts in a cluster?

  Hi all

  Lately I have seen an issue where my host 5.1 logging abruptly stops and the other remote access to every host I have no way of knowing what happened.

  Is it possible to account for the last, for example hostd.log timestamp for each host in a cluster?

  Thank you

  Tony

  Try something like this

  foreach($esx in Get-Cluster -Name MyCluster | Get-VMHost){  $log = Get-Log -Key hostd -VMHost $esx  $esx | Select Name,@{N="Last entry";E={[datetime]($log.entries[-1].Split(' ')[0])}}}
  

  But be aware that fetch a newspaper of the ESXi could take some time.

  The script needs get the full log, to be able to extract the last line

  I suppose you want the name of the cluster, host name and comments for all your virtual machines. This information, you can export it to a file .csv as follows:

• How to identify the name of the cluster to run the createresourcepool script?

  I want to manage the resource in ESX 4.1 Pool.

  And fortunately, I found a script from here, written by William Lam in 28/11/09.

  Lam, Hello, how are you?

  I want to test your code, but I don't know how to use it.

  I mean, I have a machine ESX, alone, with host name datastore1.vlab.iu.hio.no, that should not be called a cluster.

  But if I want to run your script, I should offer you a cluster name. So, what is the name of the cluster here?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you're referring to the createResourcePool.pl script, the documentation provides an example on how to use the vSphere SDK for Perl script.

  ./createResourcepool.pl--serveur reflex.primp - industries.com - username primp - cluster "R & D" - resourcepool rp6

  You will need to provide the name of the vCenter cluster where you want to create the pool of resources, in the example I created a pool of resources called "rp6" to the title of the group 'R & D'.

  If you are just to handle a crowd of ESX (i) autonomous which looks like you are, then you will need some modification of the script to allow you to create a pool of resources directly on the host ESX (i). Attached is a quick tweak to the script existing and all what you need to do is to connect directly to your host and specify the name of the list of resources you want to create. It assumes that there is no existing resource pool and this will be attached to the main world 'resourcePool' which is there by default, but you don't see it.

  Here's the syntax:

  . /RP.pl - Server himalaya.primp - industries.com - username root resourcepool - myRP

• Reconfiguration of HA at the Cluster level

  I have a warning message indicating that HA started tipping in one of my groups. The difficulty that I found was to disable/re-enable HA to the cluster level. Does have an impact to the production host? Or is it possible safe at any time?

  Disabling HA empowerment on the cluster again will have no impact for the virtual machines or the hosts and can be performed without risk.

• Script to change the tools upgrade policy

  Thank you

  Hello, jconidesGP-

  You should be able to use a VirtualMachineConfigSpec and reconfigure the given VMs as you wish (the vNoob talking about something like this earlier in this post).   A similar decision and it for a cluster, would look like:

  ## create the config spec$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec -Property @{    Tools = New-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo -Property @{        ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle"    }}
  
  ## get all of the VMs in the given cluster, and reconfigure them with the config specGet-Cluster myCluster | Get-VM | %{$_.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)}
