• Script to configure security on vSwitch error

  Here's my problem. I set up a script to configure ESXi 4 U1 guests. During the configuration, we must define security vSwitch reject for allowPromiscuous, forgedTransmits and macChanges. Here is the section and the error.

  $vh01 = get-vmhost myhost.domain.com

  $vh01vsw0 = $vh01 | get-virtualswitch-name "vSwitch2.

  $vh01moref = $vh01 | % {get-view $_.} ID}

  $vh01morefconfig = $vh01moref.configmanager

  $vh01netsys = $vh01morefconfig.networksystem

  $vh01netsysmoref = get-views $vh01netsys

  $swspec = new-Object Vmware.Vim.HostVirtualSwitchSpec

  $swspec. NumPorts = 24

  $swspec.policy = new-Object Vmware.Vim.HostNetworkPolicy

  $swspec.policy.security = New-Object Vmware.Vim.HostNetworkSecurityPolicy

  $swspec.policy.security.allowPromiscuous = $false

  $swspec.policy.security.forgedTransmits = $false

  $swspec.policy.security.macChanges = $false

  $vh01netsysmoref. UpdateVirtualSwitch($vh01vsw0.name,$swspec)

  And the error I get is:

  Exception by calling 'UpdateVirtualSwitch' with '2' or argument: 'a specified perréard.

  TER was not correct.

  "

  + $vh01netsysmoref. UpdateVirtualSwitch < < < < ($vh01vsw0.name, $swspec)

  + CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: ( [], MethodInvocationException)

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: DotNetMethodException

  If I run $vh01vsw0.name I get the string correct vSwitch spokesperson. I have a script section to set the same on trade, and it works fine. Here's the script section.

  $vh01 = get-vmhost myhost.domain.com

  $vh01moref = $vh01 | % {get-view $_.} ID}

  $vh01morefconfig = $vh01moref.configmanager

  $vh01netsys = $vh01morefconfig.networksystem

  $vh01netsysmoref = get-views $vh01netsys

  $pgspec = new-Object Vmware.vim.HostPortGroupSpec

  $pgspec.vswitchname = "vSwitch0"

  network of $pgspec.name = "Management"

  $pgspec.vlanid = "0"

  $pgspec.policy = New-Object Vmware.Vim.HostnetworkPolicy

  $pgspec.policy.security.forgedTransmits = $false

  $pgspec.policy.security.macChanges = $false

  $vh01netsysmoref. UpdatePortgroup($pgspec.name,$pgspec)

  Is this something that needs to be done when creating vSwitch and cannot be changed after? Any help is greatly apprecieated! Thanks in advance!

  No, it can be done.

  But since there is an existing switch, you can not 'Cancel' some properties that are already there.

  Although the SDK Reference indicates that some properties are optional, when set on an existing vswitch, you must include them in the spec.

  The easiest way is to copy the existing technical and only change the properties you want to change.

  Something like that

  $vh01=get-vmhost myhost.domain.com 
  
  $vh01moref=$vh01 |% {get-view $_.Id}
  $vh01morefconfig=$vh01moref.configmanager
  $vh01netsys=$vh01morefconfig.networksystem
  $vh01netsysmoref=get-view $vh01netsys
  $vh01vsw0=$vh01netsysmoref.NetworkConfig.Vswitch | where {$_.Name -eq "vSwitch2"}
  
  $swspec= $vh01vsw0.Spec   # here you copy the existing spec object
  
  $swspec.policy.security.allowPromiscuous=$false
  $swspec.policy.security.forgedTransmits=$false
  $swspec.policy.security.macChanges=$false
  
  $vh01netsysmoref.UpdateVirtualSwitch($vh01vsw0.name,$swspec)

• Retry in bulk configuration tasks open

  Hello
  
  I trusted recon about 20 k users of TFTP.
  With the help of accesspolicies I need to grow near 8 k users in downstream applications.
  Because of the connection pooling issues/network, if the target system fails,.
  What is the way to make a new attempt to bulk of all configuration tasks failed.
  
  All entries on this.
  
  Concerning
  Vicky

  All the tasks in a rejected State are listed in the table of ITO. Also on standby and waiting are here, but you can query to simply rejected. Then you can either start over in bulk

  retryTasks (long [] taskInstanceKeys)

  or try one at a time

  retryTask (long plTaskInstanceKey

  You can create a simple scheduled task to retry them.

• How to configure Task Scheduler to run the program when the connection is established

  Windows 7 64 bit
  Dial-up Internet access

  I want to use the Windows 7 Task Scheduler to run a program IMMEDIATELY AFTER a dial-up connection is made to the internet.

  How can I configure the Task Scheduler in Windows 7 to do this, please?

  I am familiar with the Scheduler of tasks with the command line parameters.  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  FYI: If an example is needed, Microsoft Security Essentials can be configured to update virus through this path with the argument definitions:

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Security Essentials/MpCmdRun.exe SignatureUpdate

  Maybe someone can use it to show how to configure the Windows 7 Task Scheduler to update MSE virus definitions, once the connection dial-up was made?

  Otherwise, for example, another program to run once established a dial-up connection would be OK, thanks

  Hello

  Scheduler of tasks is time driven.

  For order-driven event, you need a script.

  Question like that is much better treated in the TechNet IT Pro Forums.

• Configure task tasks simultaneous/queue of customer?

  At this moment I can highlight several virtual machines and perform an operation on them (for example, to migrate Dastores or Suspend / Power On), but the tasks all run them simultaneously, which really hurts performance (all LUN SAN FC thrashes for a stop and users start to complain). In extreme cases the tasks even begin to expire and fail.

  Is there a setting in the Client that will force it to occur in the order of the tasks (e.g., a depth of 1 queue)? Currently I'm right click on each of the 373 MV one by one and wait for everyone in the end, who is getting old fast.

  Not that I'm aware of use the vSphere Client, there is a maximum for each type of operation that is defined in the maximum Configuration of vSphere for vCenter or ESX (i).

  Although the only way to create a queue is through a script approach where you can either kickoff n-tasks and wait to send more, or perform a sequential operation.

• Automation of FDM integration Script in the Task Manager

  Hello world
  
  I have created an integration Script that copies the data of a table SQL to FDM and now tries to automate a daily run in the Task Manager.
  
  To do this, it seems that I have to create a custom Script to perform the following integration Script:

   Function LedgerTrans(strLoc, lngCatKey, dblPerKey, strWorkTableName) 

  I can't understand what it takes to write the custom Script to trigger the integration Script. Can someone explain or give a sample?
  
  
  
  Best regards
  Frederik

  You don't need a custom script, you can simply use batch processing to trigger the import for the POV. You must create a standard command using the GUI of batch script in the workbench (Tools > batch) then put the empty source files in the folder OpenBatch with the POV for the name of the file to trigger the import for the POV script.

• Script not running task for all objects using the Get-Content cmdlet

  Hello

  For some reason when I run the code following the newspaper bundles are only being dumped for the first host in the hosts.txt file. I have a script that gets the bundles of paper for all hosts in a cluster and rename the cryptic file name to reflect the name of the host with good Luc. I could just use the script to get the beams to all hosts in the cluster, but there are times where I need just one or two hosts in the cluster. Can someone tell me what is the problem with the code below?

  $VC = Read-Host "Enter name vCenter.
  $varHost = get-Content "S:\Get-Logs\hosts.txt".

  ##Connect to VCenter
  SE connect-VIServer $VC - WarningAction SilentlyContinue
  #----------------------------------------------------

  
  {foreach ($ESX to $varHost)

  $destPath = 'S:\Get-Logs\Logs\$($ESX) ".
  
  If ((New-Item-chemin $destPath-ItemType répertoire-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) - eq $null)

  Get - Log - VMHost $ESX - Bundle - DestinationPath $destPath

  
  }

  Although it would be ideal for the log files should be renamed at this point I would be happy if the script would create a folder for each host listed in the text file and place the log file in each folder.

  Thank you

• a node property to return the configuration of the task a DAQmx

  Tasks in this project are preconfigured in MAX, but once the operator needed to enter and change the sampling frequency, that I would like to add a routine to start to check the sampling rate of the configured tasks. I know that using a DAQmx property node can return task names and channel names, but what I could use is a property node to return the sampling frequency of the task. A knowledge of a way to do this?

  If you place a property on the block schema node, connect it to your task control. Right-click on the property node, and then select the DAQmx Timing (class select DAQmx-> DAQmx Timing). Then select the sample-Rate property > clock.

• lbyproc - JDBC configuration

  Hello

  My 12.3 Documaker environment is:

  1 linux server - database documaker

  2 linux server - application site

  3 windows machine where documaker studio is installed and configured.

  I used to promote the elements with Studio of Documaker on the windows machine. He has been linked to Documaker database using the ODBC connection. Since a few days I tested lbyproc tool and I will "migrate" to my server linux applications. This allows me to write scripts to automate tasks.  The problem is how to set up linux environment to connect to the database. I know that I need to add some new sections to fsisys.ini - and this is more or less as far as I know

  You give me a few tips, links, advice, examples?

  Is it possible to migrate the settings of windows ini files?

  concerning

  K.

  A good starting point, if you have not been there already, is the documentation. Take a look at page 295, which examines the implementation of JDBC connectivity to your Linux machine. You can probably start with your your Studio environment INI files as your base (make copies of them for the Linux environment), then change for Linux (for example, railways and JDBC).

  A possible configuration is to have all your settings, that are common to Windows and Linux in the FSISYS. INI, and then have specific environmental parameters in two separate FSIUSER. INI files. Which might make migration a little easier for you.

• How to create an effective script that mass deletes snapshots

  our company is currently using a product that drives the operating system and software updates for our virtual machines and takes a snapshot before pushing updates in case something breaks. the problem is that the same software does not remove the pictures until next update button and you're just too long we wait with snapshots lying around. what I did to remedy this situation is I built the below script and configured it as a task.

  # Add the snap-snap powercli in
  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  # Connect to an instance of vCenter
  $strviserver = "vCenterServer".
  SE connect-VIServer $strviserver

  # Get all of the snapshots for each virtual machine in the vcenter, then delete them
  Get - VM | Get-Snapshot - name "updates" | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $false

  # Remove the snap-snap powercli in
  Remove-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  It works, but it is not nearly as effective as I wish it were. Essentially, the script currently removes a snapshot at a time right now. I want so he can find any snapshot on this server vcenter by the same specified name and submit the task deletion-Snapshot for each snapshot at the same time. This should cause a lot of tasks to try and tail. The effective result would be that vCenter will treat all instant destruction because it has resources to do in a given time and will address the queue there resources.  If someone can tell me how to do this or something better, I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

  You can consider using the RunAsync switch on the cmdlet Remove-Snapshot .

  In this way, that the script will continue while delete the snapshot is still running.

  Note that there is obviously that a limit on how many parallel snapshot removes that may occur due to the resources available.

• Scripts for a novice - running DPM scripts on a calendar

  I am woking on a new facility with 5.1 ESXi and VCenter 5 running on the virtula machine.  I would use DPM but bring the cluster to pior fully operational at the beginning of the working day.  I found the reference for scripts that I downloaded.

  What I can't understand is to run at a scheduled time.  Most of my research seems to point to the installation and configuration of vMA in order to have the ability to import these scripts and install them on a cron job.

  This seems to be a bit of work to turn the 2 scripts.  My question is "is there another way to run scripts against the vCenter device without get job vMA?  If so, how? »

  Any help would be appreciated.

  If you want to disable DMP before the start of your work day, you are able to configure tasks scheduled in vcenter natively to achieve this without resorting to additional scripts.

  The task that you will need the installation is "change the cluster power settings.
