Specify the network during the creation of the VM...

Hello

My apologies in advance if this is a question well beaten, but I did some research on Google and not find the answer to this day...

I'm creating a number of virtual machines based on the opinions of a CSV file and want to specify the network that must be the new virtual machine. This command works...

$vm = New-VM-Name $_. Name - model $_. Model-host $_. Home - Datastore $_. Data store - OSCustomizationSpec $_. CustomSpec-confirm: $true - RunAsync

But when I try to specify a network to attach to, with the addition of -NetworkName $_.Network I see the error...

New-VM: all parameters can be resolved by using the specified named parameters.

C:\PowerCLI\deploy.ps1:18 char: 9

+ $vm = New-VM-Name $_. Name - NetworkName $.network-model _ $_. Temp...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (:)) [new-VM], ParameterBindingException)

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: AmbiguousParameterSet, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.NewVM


If I create the virtual machine and then run the following command, the network is OK for the virtual machine.

Get-NetworkAdapter $_. Name | Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkName-$_.Network - StartConnected: $true

I believe that it is not possible to specify - NetworkName when you also specify a customization specification.


How could I go on create virtual machine and the specification of its network in this scenario (and within the same VM creation script)? Is it possible to use PowerCLI to make the same changes as those available in hardware virtual machine (experimental) 'customize' user interface that allows the user to select a network during a deployment based on a model?

Thanks in advance and I hope you can help.

The parameters of Model & OSCustomizationSpec and Networkname belong to different parametersets on the New-VM cmdlet.

You don't have them together on an invocation of New - VM.

As you have already discovered, you can make game-NetworkAdapter after the virtual machine has been created.

New-VM-name $_. Name - model $_. Model-host $_. Home - Datastore $_. Data store.

-OSCustomizationSpec $_. CustomSpec-confirm: $true |

Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkName-$_.Network - StartConnected: $true

But the drawback here is that you cannot use the RunAsync switch on the New - VM cmdlet.

An alternative is to create virtual machines with switch RunAsync, wait until the virtual machines are created and the customization complete, before changing the portgroup.

There is a good method described on the PowerCLI blog waiting for the customization of the OS to complete

And Yes, you can create an OSCustomizationSpecs with PowerCLI, take a look at the New-OSCustomizationSpec cmdlet.

    Hello
    Litte Note:

    Why the installer of the grid is not inviting the real IPs allocated to networks of Public and private?

    The cluster runs under Network (e.g. 10.80.143.0) under any one or two IP, because several IP addresses of the network in question can be used (it is about scalability and availability), you install a cluster it show the networks used, not used IP (this occurs in any system of cluster, you must specify the network).

    Hello
    during the ETL I want to disable constraints PK/UK to speed up the load;

    Creating an Index associated with a constraint

    Oracle database applies a UNIQUE key or a constraint integrity PRIMARY KEY on a table by creating a unique index on the unique key or primary key. This index is created automatically by the database when the constraint is enabled. No action is required by you when you run the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement to create the index, but you can optionally specify an ESCALATION using clause to exercise control over his creation. This includes them when a constraint is defined and enabled, and when a constraint defined but disabled is selected.

    The situation is there are two files that make up the office.

    One is your office users, and the other is Office public users.

    When you sort by name, they are classified as two lists.

    Some software during installation, installs for all users and put the shortcut in the Public Office.

    The best way to accomplish what you want is to ensure that all the shortcuts are in one of the two folders.

    Your office is located in C:\Users\*your username user name * \Desktop

    The other is in the C:\Users\Public\Public Office, which is a hidden folder

  • Darkness of 8.4 (1) vpn L2L filter ASA when you specify the Protocol and port

    Hi all - I've spent many hours trying to diagnose this and have read several discussions and the Cisco docs unsuccessfully...

    Situation: two sites running Cisco ASA 5520 on 8.4 (1) with L2L IPsec on the public internet between each of them. The configuration of IPsec and associated routing works as it should and we are able to pass traffic between networks private behind each device as expected. The problem occurs when you try to block sessions using a vpn-filter group policy configuration.

    Each site has 3 private subnets that are able to communicate correctly without the vpn-filter configuration. We want to restrict access to specific protocols, hosts, and ports between each network.

    SITE A: 10.10.0.0/18, 10.10.64.0/18, 10.10.128.0/18

    SITE B: 10.20.0.0/18, 10.20.64.0/18, 10.20.128.0/18

    When we apply a filter-vpn configuration which restricted access only two guests, as follows...

    SITE A: vpn_acl_x_x_x_x list extended access permit ip host 10.20.0.1 host 10.10.0.1

    SITE b: the ip host 10.10.0.1 allowed extended access list vpn_acl_x_x_x_x host 10.20.0.1

    ... the configuration works correctly. However, when we try to lock the configuration more far and specify the protocols and ports, as follows...

    SITE A: vpn_acl_x_x_x_x list extended access permit tcp host 10.20.0.1 host 10.10.0.1 eq 22

    SITE b: vpn_acl_x_x_x_x to the list of access permit tcp host 10.10.0.1 host 10.20.0.1 eq 22

    ... and then try to establish a SSH connection between 10.10.0.1 and 10.20.0.1 or vice versa, the package is stopped on the side of the SOURCE. ..

    Mar 22 11:58:01 x.x.x.x 22 March 2011 14:34:56: % ASA-4-106103: vpn_acl_x_x_x_x of the access list refused tcp to the user "" inside-data/10.10.0.1(59112)-> outside-iptrans/10.20.0.1(22) hit - cnt 1 first success [0xd8d1c1b4, 0 x 0]

    I would really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on what is wrong with this Setup.

    SOLUTION

    The ACE must be implemented on the source and the end of the tunnel destination to facilitate this configuration.

    EXAMPLE 1: allow SSH two-way communication between hosts on each network (SITE A can connect to SITE B, SITE B can connect to SITE A)...

    SITE A:

    access-list vpn_acl_x_x_x_x extended permit tcp host 10.20.0.1 host 10.10.0.1 eq 22

    access-list vpn_acl_x_x_x_x extended permit tcp host 10.20.0.1 eq 22 host 10.10.0.1

    SITE B:

    access-list vpn_acl_x_x_x_x extended permit tcp host 10.10.0.1 host 10.20.0.1 eq 22

    access-list vpn_acl_x_x_x_x extended permit tcp host 10.10.0.1 eq 22 host 10.20.0.1

    EXAMPLE 2: allow communication one-way SSH between hosts on each network (SITE A can connect to SITE B, SITE B is unable to connect to SITE A)...

    SITE A:

    access-list vpn_acl_x_x_x_x extended permit tcp host 10.20.0.1 eq 22 host 10.10.0.1

    SITE B:

    access-list vpn_acl_x_x_x_x extended permit tcp host 10.10.0.1 host 10.20.0.1 eq 22

    Very good and thank you for this post. Please kindly marks the message as answered while others may learn from your post. I think that you have started a very good discussion on vpn-filter for tunnel L2L.

  • vRA 7 specify the IP address on the deployment

    Hi all

    I have searched but cannot see a question specifically on that yet.  We try to use a VM of the IaaS deployment and specify the IP address of the virtual machine as part of the form.  If one adds the custom property of VirtualMachine.Network0.Address in network of the virtual machine properties, we are unable to check the box 'Overridable' option.  When we do and save the check option is removed when view us the action plan again.  It's probably something simple that we miss them...

    If anyone has any suggestions that would be great!

    Thank you

    Allan

    What is interesting. I see the same behavior.

    To make it work for me, I placed the VirtualMachine.Network0.Name and the address of the custom properties in the properties of action plan, rather than the properties of the virtual computer object.

    My guess is that the network tab, a virtual computer object in the plan of action makes the assumption that you use DHCP or vRA managed IP addressing.

  • How can I specify the installation directory for the packages installed on Windows clients?

    This article (Creative Cloud help |) Create or modify packages) mentions that you must specify the installation location on the command line in Windows for CC packages:


    Installation location

    The Application Manager offers you the following options for the deployment location:

      • Deploy to the default directory of the application: The default player is system unit; the default path is \Program Files in Windows/applications under Mac OS.
      • Directory to specify when the deployment: Allows users to end to specify the installation path when the package is deployed. On Mac OS, users are invited on the user interface, while on Windows, it's a command-line only option.
      • Specify directory: enter the path to the location to a specific installation location

    I have chosen "Specify the directory for the deployment" when I built the package.  I also added parameters for deployeur batch of Exceptions (Creative Cloud help |) Using Adobe deployeur Exceptions) indicating the installation location for the exceptions.

    How to access the command line options during install?

    • I tried setup.exe /?, and setup.exe -?, and the installation continues straight on the pilot of c: (small SSD drive; need to install on the 1 TB SATA drive on the HP workstation).
    • I looked for the MSI command line options, and there is not to change the installation location.

    There is a post somewhere that explains it?  I had no luck with my research in the forums on the web.

    When the "Specify the deployment directory" configuration is selected then you may need to use a deployment tool to deploy this package and need to call for the installation .msi.

    I hope that under Microsoft section can help. It has all the command line to install msi.

  • How can I specify the AU_SIZE attribute in YES

    Hello

    How can I specify the AU_SIZE when I create the Group of disks for disk OCR and vote when I install the House of GI.
    Basically, I want to create the disk with AU_SIZE group as 4MB when I create Via YES. I know that I can change the attributes when I using ASMCA. But not sure, YES.

    Please can someone guide me?

    Concerning
    Joe

    Hey Joe,

    Did you mean that I will need to move the OCR/vote * to an another diskgroup-> drop those created during installtion--> recrerate the diskgroup with AU_SIZE as you wish

    Yes... you should move the OCR, VOTING and ASM SPFILE to an another diskgroup and recreate the diskgroup.

    DOC said: Oracle recommends that the allocation unit (to THE) size for a group of disks attached to 4 megabytes (MB).
    I don't see any benefits to configure the 4MBytes to THE SIZE for diskgroup that will store only the Clusterware files.
    The voting are stored directly on the drive of the ASM (i.e. not at THE SIZE of use). The OCR file and use ASM SPFILE to THE SIZE, but are not frequently consulted (low e/s) and files are too small to set up to 4MBytes.

    SIZE of the game by THE way a difference when you don't need broadband to e/s. IE: used for Diskgroup that will store the data files.

    I recommend that read my point of view how to store files of VOTING, OCR and SPFILE ASM about ASM.

  • How can I specify the options of folders and files to memory cards in LR4?

    Hello!

    I read the sections Set import and file management preferences and settings to specify Auto Import in the manual. But they do not seem to answer my question. Other things that are written about importing files in Lightroom seem to relate only to importing photos to the Lightroom Catalog, that is not my main concern, although I do not want them imported into the catalog as well. But before the pictures can go to the Lightroom Catalog, they need to be improted, in other words copied from the memory card on the local hard drive. In short, all I want is for Lightroom to take over the responsibility of Canon EOS Utility and behave in the same way during the import/copy of the files on the local hard drive. How is Lightroom sets for this?

    I want to just this type of file and folder structure:

    J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0037.JPG

    J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0039.JPG

    J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.CR2

    J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.JPG

    J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.CR2

    J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.JPG

    J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.CR2

    J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.JPG

    ... etc!

    1. let's all start, where the heck can I specify the destination for the new photos folder?

    There is an option called see the import dialog when a memory card is detected under the general tab in Preferences, but there is no option of destination of the file associated with this.

    2. how can I tell Lightroom to leave the original file names as they are (i.e. IMG_2887.CR2) and place them in a new subfolder (i.e. 2011_06_17) in the destination folder (J:\), named after the date of the photo capture (17 July 2011)?

    There are a few options on the management of the files tab in the Preferences, but they do not seem to affect the import of files on the local hard drive.

    3 it maybe should have been the first question really. Lightroom is able to import files from the camera or card to the local hard disk drive at all?

    Of course, I expect to be able to do, but from the looks of him, I'm not too confident in this respect.

    To begin I would just copy my picture files, directly from the camera or a card reader in a destination folder of my choice, in the same way as Canon EOS Utility it. I didn't wat to simply import the files into the Lightroom Catalog and start working with the files directly from the camera or memory card. Hell no! It is not an external drive for the love of God!

    Please advise!

    I think what you want is on the right side of the screen import, down. There is a Destination area. It can be reduced. Just click on the small triangle next to 'Destination' to develop. Everything you need is there.

  • specify the cfinput type file folder start

    Anyone know if there is a way if you use < cfinput type = "file"... > to specify the folder of the file Explorer starts in?

    Even better (and I REALLY want to do), is there a way to simply specify the file used by CFFILE name by concatenating the path + filename + extension doc, IE:

    < cfset form.photo = "source_path" & form.file_name_entered_by_user & ".jpg" >

    and then:

    < cffile action = "upload".
    fileField = "form.photo"...

    It would be much easier things mke for users.

    I'm sure that no, on both accounts. Mainly for security reasons.

    FILE fields require the user to interact with their computer and a decision consious about their choice. The startup location depends on where their last record or files during load or download of operations through the BONE... the OS commands this feature, not your web page. If people could program pages well start somewhere they could try and entice users to provide files which hinder the security of their computer. In addition, how do you believe you know where they recorded the file they are downloading?

    DOWNLOAD CFFILE requires a user multi-part form to submit for download, and the field sent to the command must be a file field. It cannot be done with the right programming. Again, it is a question of security, otherwise anyone could program a web page to steal files on a computer without the knowledge of the user, and it would be a huge legal and security problem.

  • By specifying the file name for FTP out OSB transport

    I want OSB based service that will send via FTP a file with a specific name to a remote ftp location.
    It seems that OSB cannot do this because the FTP transport on a business service only allows you to specify the prefix and the suffix, and then generates a file name long great for midlle parties.

    Anyone know how to replace it and specify the name you want to call remote file name?

    mdsrobbins wrote:
    Your answer was useful, but being new OSB I'm not yet quite there because I want to spend a "variable" in the name of the file. Now I want a CSV file, I've specified a service proxy in a format MFL behind a jms messaging ftp queue. Business service underlying it is the ftp using the MFL format service. This works all I in the message flow to the proxy I can't have access to a user defined property that contains the name of the file that I could then pull and stuff it into the header 'Filename' as suggested above.

    DOE, anyone got any ideas how I can get access to a property of a JMS message file name?

    What I understand
    JMSQ - JMS PRoxy (MFL) - Pipeline---> BS (MFL/FTP) - FTP server

    If you want to set the file name contained custom JMS message headers? When creating your Proxy JMS you must follow these steps
    (1) for the creation of Proxy JMS in the transportation Configuration page select get all the headers = Yes
    (2) if the name of the file is set as defined by the JMS message property user then use $Header in your pipeline/message flow. This variable can contain your user-defined properties. If the user sets the property is part of the JMS message and then use $body.

  • Specify the directory where you want to install the application?

    A quick and simple question... installing PTools 8.48, the default installation of the installation n:\PT8.48 folder, which I changed to c:\PT8.48 program. Now, when you install the HCM application, the default value is n:\HC8.9

    The installation instructions say "you must specify the directory < PS_HOME >; This is the directory where you installed PeopleTools for a given server.

    Q: are c:\PT8.48 my PS_HOME? that is, should I change the default n:\HC8.9 to c:\PT8.48 (which is what the installation guide)? Or do I have to enter c:\HC8.9 (which is what seems to imply the logic of default Setup)?

    You have installed the application in the same directory as your installation of Peopletools, then Yes, it should be c:\PT8.48 (your PS_HOME).
    If you do not, your Peopletools won't see specific scripts for request, including those necessary for the creation of the database.

    Nicolas.
