  Hi all

  I have install VSA if my esxi has already running virtual machine host, I read some post saying that before the VSA, the esxi Server installation must be clean without any host virtual machine created, is - it true?

• Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

  Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

  # #SCRIPT_START

  $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

  $Import = import-csv $file

  $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

  $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

  $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

  $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

  Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

  # #SCRIPT_END

  You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

  An example of this cmdley

  New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

  In your case, you could do

  Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

  But beware of negative numbers.

• Deleting the same files of many virtual machines remotely

  Hi all

  I tried to delete the same file several virtual machines remotely using the following script PowerCLI:

  $a = Get - VM | %{
  
  foreach ($nic as $_.) Guest.Nics) {}
  Write-output $nic. IPAddress
  }
  }
  foreach ($i in $a)
  {$b = get-WmiOBJECT-query "SELECT * from CIM_DataFile where Name='C:\\test\\deleteme.exe'"-computername $i}
  $b.delete)

  }

  It works perfectly when I run the script on the host virtual machines while I am running the script PowerCLI. When I Connect-viserver to another host however and try to run the script, I get the dreaded "RPC server is unavailable error (HRESULT: 0x800706BA)" for Get-WmiObject.  Virtual machines don't have Windows Firewall and have all TCP/IP, RPC and WMI services started, so who could eliminate any possibility.

  I am also able to run other scripts that use the Get-wmiobject across all virtual machines such as scripts to change the DNS or Netbios name across many machines on different hosts.

  Any comments would be greatly appreciated and please feel free to comment if you know maybe other ways which can delete files on multiple virtual machines in any other way.  Installation PowerCLI to run the script locally on each host would be a laborious process to do.

  Thank you very much!

  Best regards

  To solve the problem with the quotes, you can use double quotes inside the string. Like this:

  «del "«c:\documents and settings\text.exe»»»

  Or you can use for the string single quotes and double quotes inside:

  "del"c:\documents and settings\text.exe"

• Set the priority of restarting a virtual machine

  Hello

  I'm trying to set the priority of restarting a virtual machine in a cluster. I worked along THIS DISCUSSION to create this script:

  var myVcClusterDasConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasConfigInfo() ; 
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec = new VcClusterDasVmConfigSpec() ; 
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.operation = VcArrayUpdateOperation.add; 
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasVmConfigInfo() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.key = VM;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.restartPriority =  VcDasVmPriority.high;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.info = myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo;
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray = new Array() ; 
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray.push( myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec ); 
  var myVcClusterConfigSpecEx = new VcClusterConfigSpecEx() ; 
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasConfig = myVcClusterDasConfigInfo; 
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasVmConfigSpec = myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray; 
  Cluster.reconfigureComputeResource_Task( myVcClusterConfigSpecEx, true );
  

  Where Cluster and VM are objects of the WF input.

  Executions of thoughts scripts, however, in the CR, I get the error «the parameter of {entry.@enum.» InvalidDasConfigArgument.EntryForInvalidArgument} is not valid for the cluster.

  It's simple... but I just can't cope.

  Thank you guys

  Also I just realized... that the method I used is deprecated... grrr

  Here's the correct one:

  var myVcClusterDasVmSettings = new VcClusterDasVmSettings();
  myVcClusterDasVmSettings.restartPriority=VcClusterDasVmSettingsRestartPriority.fromString(priority);
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasVmConfigInfo();
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.key=VM;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo.dasSettings=myVcClusterDasVmSettings;
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec = new VcClusterDasVmConfigSpec() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.operation = VcArrayUpdateOperation.add;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec.info = myVcClusterDasVmConfigInfo;
  
  var myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray = new Array() ;
  myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray.push( myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpec );
  var myVcClusterConfigSpecEx = new VcClusterConfigSpecEx() ;
  var myVcClusterDasConfigInfo = new VcClusterDasConfigInfo() ;
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasConfig = myVcClusterDasConfigInfo;
  myVcClusterConfigSpecEx.dasVmConfigSpec = myVcClusterDasVmConfigSpecArray;
  task=ClusterName.reconfigureComputeResource_Task( myVcClusterConfigSpecEx, true );
  

• What is the advantage to affect multiple virtual machines in a data store?

  Hello

  Quite a question stupid and basic, but I can't answer . What is the advantage of having multiple virtual machines in a store of VMFS data instead of having each VM in another VMFS data store? (eg. 3 VMs in 1 data store or 3 data warehouses and each virtual machine in one of them). I can only think about the ease of management for storage administrator because it creates only a single large LUN.
  
  Thank you

  By allowing multiple virtual machines in a data store, you can run more than 256 virtual machines in a DRS cluster.

  As a host has a limit of 256 scsi identification numbers, which means that it accesses no more than 255 LUNS shared. 1 scsi ID is used for local storage.

  In a DRS cluster as each host must be mapped to the same data warehouses to ensure that virtual machines can be moved on the cluster and run on any of the hosts.

  Now in my life as an architect VMware PSO I saw that a lot of virtual machines that require a single data store. The main reason to isolate a virtual machine on a data store must provide sufficient i/o performance. This can be achieved with other solutions than to isolate a virtual machine on a data store. Having a properly architected storage subsystem is crucial, vSphere can get out of a very large number of the IOPS / s. With technologies such as SIOC and DRS for storage, you can check that the virtual machines receive IO performance according to the needs.

• Need help updated the VMX file on several Virtual Machine

  All,

  Can anyone help with a problem I'm having?  Here is a brief explanation of what is happening and what we need to solve.

  Recently we found out that we need to add a line in the file VMX of several virtual machines.  In the past, I was able to do this, but would have cold start the virtual machine for the changes to take effect.  Starts cold won't be a problem, because we can program it.

  However, no one knows a way to add this line in the file VMX virtual machines in a cluster.

  Here's the line I need added:

  Devices.hotplug = "false".

  Here is a script that was used earlier (esx 3.0 days) to keep the VM tools updated on reboot.  At this point, if the virtual machine has been turned on, this change could not do through the UI.  However, this script worked to update the .vmx file and then we have cold reboots for the changes to take effect.

  Get-viserver - < Server > - < user > - < password >

  $viview = get-Cluster-name NOMCLUSTER | Get - VM | foreach-object {get-view ($_.ID)}
  $viview | {foreach-object
  $vmConfigSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools = new-Object VMware.Vim.ToolsConfigInfo
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterPowerOn = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.afterResume = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestStandby = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.beforeGuestShutdown = 'True '.
  $vmConfigSpec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = "UpgradeAtPowerCycle".
  $_. ReconfigVM ($vmConfigSpec)
  }

  The exact script can be found in Disable HotPlug

• Can I use the same windows on my virtual machine?

  I had windows pre-installed in my dell laptop (Latitude E6420). I did not have the cd key but I extracted using a program called Magical jelly bean key finder. Now, I have the following information on my windows installation

  Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1

  Product no.: XXXXXXXX

  Installed from media "OEM."

  Product ID: XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXXX

  CD Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  Computer name: XXXXX

  Registered owner: XXXXX

  Registered organization: Microsoft
  Now, I want to install linux on my machine and use the current windows in a virtual machine inside the linux host. Is is possible if I completely uninstall this windows of my computer and reinstall the virtual machine with the same key?
  I'm not very familiar with this also can someone guide me what are the steps I have to take if this is possible.

  Hi Andre,

  Thank you for your answer, but this does not completely answer my question. I also read that OEM installation does not install the same windows on another machine (virtual machine is like different machine even if I do this on the same machine) and installation of the mine is OEM type.

  More important still, how install windows in the virtual environment? If I format the computer and install linux, in addition to this install virualbox and install inside windows that use the cd - key and it will work. ? I doubt it because the windows is already activated in this machine.

  The extract of the contract (EULA) for Windows 7 and applies to the retail and OEM of Windows 7 versions. So, Yes, you can reinstall it in a Virtual Machine.

  Yes, you will need to format the machine under Linux, then reinstall Windows 7 in a computer program virtual suitable as Oracle Virtual Box 4.2, VMWare Player 5.0 or VMWare Workstation. You can then use the product key located on the COA sticker to reactivate the license.

• I bought Adobe Elements with my camera.  Can I switch to Lightroom with some type of credit for the purchase, I already have?

  I bought Adobe Elements with my camera.  Can I switch to Lightroom with some type of credit for the purchase, I already have?

  I don't think that there is any such path upgrade to Lightroom. Lightroom can work with Photoshop Elements or Photoshop as a complementary product to improve and provide features that are not possible in Lightroom itself. For example, with Lightroom, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to remove unwanted objects from an image. Or, there may be sometimes a few necessary dusting that Lightroom cannot do just effectively on its own. If Lightroom offers an easy way to move from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements image in order to more easily accomplish some of these specialized tasks.

• If I uninstall ADE, I will lose the books that already have on my computer?

  I need to use a different version of the ADE (from 4.5 to 3 or 4) to be able to open ACSM files.  Given that the 3 and 4 are versions earlier than 4.5, I assume that they will not be installed unless I have uninstall 4.5.  If I do, I lose the books I already have on my computer?

  I have United Nations allow ADE by using Ctrl + Shift + D.  Then I re-authorized ADE and it can download the CMHA files.  Thank you.

• Is it possible to hide the news of Vmware's Virtual Machine?

  Hello just a small matter of team.

  We have 5 ESX

  Is it possible to hide the news of Vmware's Virtual Machine during the creation of the Virtual Machine (not in registry) that we have a lot of VM?

  It is possible that you could change some things in the registry, but there are many other "clues" as something being a virtual machine, such as the presence of tools VM, MAC address, drivers, etc.

• Can I change the RAM available on a virtual machine without having to reboot?

• How to get a list of the DRS rules and their virtual machines.

  If I try the following, I get no output. (PowerShell 2, vCenter & ESXi 5.1, PowerCLI 5.1 Release 1)

  
  ()get-cluster ). ExtensionData.ConfigurationEx.group |? {$_.vm}

  or

  ()get-cluster ). ExtensionData.ConfigurationEx.group

  I know that I have a DRS rule because when I try the following I am able to see it in Object Explorer in PowerGUI and I created it just in the Web Client.

  $Clusters = Get-Cluster

  The problem is that you have DRS groups who do not have vms - possibly accommodate groups of DRS.  If you want only vms something like this should work and does not give the error:

  foreach ($cluster (get-cluster)) {}

  write-host "$($cluster.name)".

  foreach ($drsGroup in $cluster. ExtensionData.ConfigurationEx.group) {}

  write-host "$($drsGroup.name)".

  {foreach ($vm to $drsGroup.vm)}

  If {($vm)

  $vmname = (get-vm-id $vm) .name

  write-host "$vmname".

  }

  }

  }

  ECHO «»

  }

  If you want to get the VMhosts and the VirtualMachines then try this:

  foreach ($cluster (get-cluster)) {}

  write-host "$($cluster.name)".

  foreach ($drsGroup in $cluster. ExtensionData.ConfigurationEx.group) {}

  write-host "$($drsGroup.name)".

  write-host "VMHosts".

  {foreach ($vmhost to $drsGroup.host)}

  If {($vmhost)

  $esx = (get-vmhost-id $vmhost) .name

  write-host "$esx".

  }

  }

  ECHO «»

  write-host "Virtual Machines".

  {foreach ($vm to $drsGroup.vm)}

  If {($vm)

  $vmname = (get-vm-id $vm) .name

  write-host "$vmname".

  }

  }

  ECHO «»

  }

  ECHO «»

  }
