• 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 );
  

• How to change network name for all virtual machines within the same cluster

  We have recently changed name vswitch to take into account that something significant, in the past vCenter could change the labels of networh for all virtual machines... seems this time help labels are not changed (maybe its got something to do with the update vcenter for 2.5.U3)...

  in any case, someone at - it a powershell script that could find all the virtual machines that are referring to the old label network and then changing again the name... ?

  Enjoy the respponses...

  Thanks in advance

  A few things on this blog could help.

  If you know the names you want to use, you could also just use something like:

  Get-Cluster X | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "OldNetwork" } | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "NewNetwork" -confirm:$false
  Get-Cluster X | Get-VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "NewNetwork" } | Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$true -confirm:$false
  

• How to set the vlan native on a virtual machine in vSphere when you use the 1000V?

  Using the General switch original vSphere, we put VLAN native by VM by setting the VLAN 0 d.

  How do we set VLAN native for a virtual machine, if the virtual computer is connected to a 1000V? I heard that is over, we can use VLAN ID 0?

  Same way as you would on any Cisco switch.

  Add this command to your profile of uplink port:

  switchport trunk vlan native X

  Keep in mind there is no VLAN 0.  VLAN '0' is just how vmware means the VLAN untagged.  There are valid in accordance with the standard 1-4095.

• Disable the clichés for individual virtual machines?

  Hi all

  Is it possible to disable support for snapshot for individual virtual machines, perhaps via a parameter for it?  Or is the closest answer you to put all its virtual disks in independent mode?  Try to see how to better meet the requirements that certain suppliers impose that the VM/device does not catch instant and thought that the best solution is to disable the feature for the specific VM (s) only.  Thank you!

  You can watch the snapshot.maxSnapshots configuration setting. See KB 1031280 for more information.

• 'Disable the alarm action' for a virtual machine

  Hello

  I want to disable all actions for a virtual machine alarm, while I have to disable FT to clone a virtual machine. My script are ready for cloning but I have a solution to disable the actions of alarm for a virtual machine via PowerCLI to can´t. Someone knows a solution for PowerCLI 5.1R1?

  Thank you

  -Entity parameter requires an inventory of PowerCLI as value object and does not have the names. You can try it like this:

• How to get the moref vCenter for a virtual machine

  I use with the vCloud orchestrator plugin.  I would like to understand how I can access the moref for a virtual machine identifier (as see vcenter) that is contained in a vCloud VAPP.

  Thank you

  Here is something I wrote to do. It uses the query service.

  Note that to be able to do, you need your plugin vCD to be connected to the org of system and use the administrator credentials.

  var vcdHost = vm.getHost();
  var vApp = vm.parent;
  
  var vms = new Array();
  var queryService = vcdHost.getQueryService();
  
  expression = new VclExpression(VclQueryAdminVMField.CONTAINER, vApp.getReference().href, VclExpressionType.EQUALS);
  filter = new VclFilter(expression);
  params = new VclQueryParams();
  params.setFilter(filter);
  
  var resultSet = queryService.queryRecords(VclQueryRecordType.ADMINVM, params);
  while (resultSet != null) {
      var records = resultSet.getRecords(new VclQueryResultAdminVMRecord());
      System.log(records.length + " VM records found");
      for each (var record in records) {
          if (record.name == vm.name) {
              return record.moref;
              }
  
      }
      resultSet = resultSet.getNextPage();
  }
  return null;

• the cutting of the domain component of the host name for the use of script

  Hello

  I'm trying to rename my < host name > local-local data warehouses.

  Pretty easy in theory as much as it is the only store of data on my host right now.

  I do this

  $vmhosts = get-vmhost-location < data center of choice >

  for each $vmhost in {$vmhosts}

  Get-vmhost $vmhost | get the data store | store game data-name '$vmhost - local.

  }

  Only they named

  myhost.mydomain.com - local instead of

  myhost-local

  I am fairly new to scripting and I do not know how to cut the $vmhost down to remove the. mydomain.com beyond the end.

  I noticed in powershell they mention that you can use .string to shorten the chains just doesn't seem to work.

  Any help would be great.

  Thank you

  You can use the Split method to do this.

  Something like that

  $shortName = $vmhost. Name.Split('.') [0]

  That what is to separate the host name in all places where there is a point.

  The result is returned as an array of strings, and we want the first string

• By specifying the host name for the database during installation

  I installed the database 11g r2 as a Server Desktop, anywhere during the installation it asked me to review or change the host name. It is automatically used as the host name "localhost" and wrote in listener.ora, so no other machine on the network is able to use it. Only, it connects since within the same machine. Please help how to specify the host name during installation.

• Host search for any virtual machine is slow.

  Community

  I want to improve performance on the following code. Takes more than 2 hours to run. I think that the reason for which its so slow is due to Get - VM. Once, I saw a Get - view on how to improve the performance of Get - VM but don't know exactly how to use it. The script search the whole army to the virtual Center and produces a list of host with no virtual machine. I'd like to remove the flags of CPU as each host returned so I can match as processors if possible.

  Thank you

  You have more than 1 Virtual Center in your environment?

  If so, you can provide them at the same time as input to the cmdlet Connect-VIServer tabular.

  With the following code, you should be able to list all the ESX servers that have no guests set on them as well as CPU masks for each ESX Server.

  $vcs = Connect-VIServer -Server ,,...,
  
  $allhost = Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Server $vcs
  foreach($virtualhost in $allhost){

       if($virtualhost.vm.count -eq 0){

• Location of the VMX file for a virtual machine

  My problem,

  I have a bunch of VM that names the real record of the VM and files below are NOT the same as the VM name shown at the VI appointed client. -J' it can't wait... makes more complicated

  I want to know is if there is a way to a virtual machine that is in inventory and get the path to his report and the real VMX path of query file, which I guess would give me the name of the data store and the record in the data store.

  My question for example:

  My - vma: (in VIclient)

  [myds0100]/web34/web34.vmx (because if I get off by accessing the site after clicking on 'my - vma' VM in viclient)]

  You can do

  Get - VM | Select the path Name,@{N="VMX"; E={$_. ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName}}

  You could also have a look at the VIProperty called VmxDatastoreFullPath.

• M401dn LJ - how to set the host name?

  Supposedly the name of host/node can also be set by hand, but I cannot find where do.  I looked at the web interface and the local touch interface, nothing.  Logically, it should be on the same or a screen closely linked in what concerns the definition of the ip address, but if it is there, I can't find.

  Anyone know where it is?

  Hi MMacD,

  I can't wait to hear that you have questions.  This information can be viewed and edited from the built-in web server.  Please see the information that can solve the problem below.  If you would like more information about your product please click here

  1. get an IP or host address

  2. Insert the address of the browser web bar (no search engine)

  3. Select the tab network / wireless (a static information page should display information networking)

  4. left hand side select network identification

  5. the page that opens with contain the current settings, which can be changed

• How the hosts finished in a virtual machine? Issue of UPS

  Hello!

  I know this was asked before, but just wanted to clarify

  -I want to use a UPS on my system, which will automatically stop OS X if there is a power failure. I put my WinXP VM fusion do not ask confirmation at the close. I just wanted to know if the inverter triggers a shutdown of OS X, will be the do Fusion VM one "shut down - IE. close the computer"or"suspend "?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Well, that depends on what version of Fusion you use.  IIRC, I believe there was a problem with this a 1.x version of Fusion, although I don't remember with one, but this was corrected at some point, but I don't remember which version.

  I know that with the Fusion 2.0.4 if I stop OS X with a Virtual Machine running, it is automatically suspended because under VMware Fusion (menu bar) > preferences... > General > when a virtual machine is closed: I chose to suspend the virtual machine and confirm before closing the box unchecked.

• set the default name for the calculated channels

  Hello

  The German version, but sometimes the calculated channels serve the Middle English, I use tiara 10.2.

  For example if I use cclasssample with my version of tiara, only the channels named "VKlass_X" and so on

  and with another German version, the canal is named "CompoundClassificationX".

  Where can I configure these behaviors?

  Thank you

  Diademi

  Hello diademi!

  Select the "Einstellungen" menu / "Options" / «Allgemeines...» ». You get the "Allgemeine Einstellungen" dialog box. Click the "Compatibility" button... ». In the dialog box "Compatibility", you have the flag "Sprachunabhangige Ergebniskanalnamen in the ANALYSIS" where you can configure the behavior. If you press Ctrl + A and paste it into a text editor, you can see that it is the CompResChnNaming variable.

• Affinity processor for a virtual machine

  I have a lot of CPU 8 on which I have installed ESX 3.5 U3. I also created a virtual machine Windows 2003 Server SP2 with 2 CPU is assigned to the.

  I'm trying to set the processor affinity for this virtual machine to use 2 of my physical processors. I see now on the tab Advanced CPU, I am able to select all available 8 physics of the processor. So now I'm a bit confused regarding if VMware allows scaling of my machine virtual to use all 8 CPU when my virtual machine is only 2 CPU?

  Now if the above is true, and I am to be allowed to set the affinity of the virtual machine to the all 8 CPU, then why is this maximum limit of the processor for a virtual machine is only 4? A stupid question probably but I'm really confused?  :|

  Hi confused,

  Yes, the user interface is a bit confusing. As RParker said, basically what you are doing when you assign the processor affinity are to identify the nuclei on which the vCPU is eligible to run on. At no time will be the VM scheduled to be run on carrots than what there vCPUs, so he will never have access to a capacity more than expected.

  The processor affinity is one of those features that's been around since 'the beginning' and its utility is really a bit blurred. I've heard of cases where users were running Citrix workloads configured with 2 vCPU and assigned the processor affinity for each virtual computer with the result of improving the performance. I wonder this because I never saw myself, and have a decent knowledge of how works the vmkernel Scheduler, it make much sense.

  I would encourage you (and anyone else reading this) essentially forget that the processor affinity is an option. Use it can cause significant performance degradation (if, for example, you pin a VM through two nodes NUMA, rather than keep vCPUs all in the same node) and break features (VMotion, DRS and who knows what else in the future).
