• stop-vmguest, then take instant

  Hi admins,

  I want to vms stop included in a text file.

  When virtual machines are poweredoff I would like to take a snapshot of each virtual machine.

  When the snapshot is in place, I would like to start the virtual machine.

  I tried for a while no and I can't make it work (very new to Powershell)

  $vms = get-content c:\temp\vms.txt

  foreach ($vm to $vms)

  {

  Get - vm $vm | stop-vmguest-confirm: $false

  Get - vm $vm | new-snapshot - name (get-date)

  Get - vm $vm | Start-vm

  }

  I wish it would be that simple, but it is not

  How would you do that? (in the easiest way so I can understand)

  Concerning

  Tyler

  You could try it like that

  Get-VM -Name (Get-Content c:\vmnames.txt) | %{    Shutdown-VMguest -VM $_ -confirm:$false    sleep 30    New-Snapshot -VM $_ -name (get-date)    Start-VM -VM $_}
  
  Note how the script uses the sleep 30 (seconds) after the guest shutdown cmdlet.The reason is that the Shutdown-VMguest cmdlet will return immediatly.And since you want to take the snapshot of a guest that is shutdown, the script waits for 30 seconds.You could also replace this with for example a 'ping' command and only start the snapshot when the guest doesn't answer anymore 
  
  The script assumes that you have the VMware tools installed to be able to do the guest shutdown.

• Laboratory in order stop

  We cross a lab all stop and I want to write a script to make things a little easier.  I was curious to know if there is a way to say vCenter gracefully shut down some virtual machines in a specific order and wait for them to end.  For example, is there as an option exclude I could use it with something similar to:

  Get - VM | Stop-VMGuest-exclude "virtual machine NAME.

  Thanks in advance

  You can use the Where-Object cmdlet to filter the virtual machines that you want to exclude, for example:

  Get - VM | Where-Object {$_.} Name - only "VM NAME"} | Stop-VMGuest

• stop machines virtual If vm tools installed

  Hello

  Is there any script shutdown of MV gracefully where vm tools installed otherwise stop with force and expect that all virtual machines stop and export this output.

  What you want to export, the names of the virtual machines and how they were arrested?

  If you put the code above in a separate file .ps1, you can add a statement, param, and who use the name of the cmdlet Get - VM parameter.

  Like this

  Param([String[]]$VMNames)

  Get-VM-name $VMNames | %{

  if($_.) {ExtensionData.Guest.ToolsRunningStatus - eq "GuestToolsNotRunning")}

  Stop-VM - VM $_ - confirm: $false

• Strange script error when you connect directly to a host and stopping

  Don't know why I get this error so thought I would ask everyone.  PowerCLI 5.5

  I am writing a script that stop a whole environment, hosts and vCenter.

  Everything works fine until I viserver - connect directly to the host running vCetner.

  (1) connect the correct vCenter

  (2) brings together all ESXi hosts

  (3) brings together the host that is running vCenter

  (4) includes all virtual machines and their current status

  (5) start stop VMs or stop VMs if VMWare tools is running

  (6) wait until all but the vCenter VM is running

  7) penetrates into all hosts, but the host to vCenter in Maintenance Mode

  (8) disconnects the vCenter (order of disconnection-VIServer)

  (9) connects directly to the host that is running vCenter (Connect-VIServer), enter correct details.

  Here's where I start to have problems.

  (10) issues a command Shutdown-VMGuest

  (11) waits until the VM is turned off

  (12) sets this host in Maintenance Mode (Set-VMHost-Mode of State of Maintenance-confirm: $false)

  (13) stop the virtual machine host. (Stop-VMHost-confirm: $false)

  If I unplug the vCenter I get an error if I stay connected to vCenter it works very well, it's a problem I want to turn off the vCenter and just need to talk directly to the host.

  I built this script a bit when the functions but have tried this outside being a function call and just do not know what is happening and why it gives me this error.

  I know that my $Global: variables are correct because it calls the correct information and like I said works without a problem, when I'm always connected to the vCenter I stop.

  Yes I know I '-Whatif "in orders, I'm testing right at that moment.

  Thanks for any help or ideas.   I tell myself that if all else fails I will post just the necessary data in a file and they have this script calls another script and gather the necessary content but would rather not do.

  The problem is probably due to the fact that you have recovered the contents of the variable $Global: vCenterHost.VMHost, while you were connected to the vCenter.

  In being VMHost , the ID property contains information about the connection to access the corresponding object of vSphere.

  To resolve this issue, 'Get' the VMHost object again when you are connected directly to the ESXi server.

• How stop on VMs by reading a CSV file or right next to the cluster

  Hello

  This csv lists all virtual machines powered in a cluster of XYZ.

  How to read the CSV file and shudown all virtual machines?

• Stop virtual machines with or without VMware tools installed

  So after a power failure major where I work has taken place where the batteries of the UPS only ran about 10 minutes and the emergency generator didn't kick in, I was put in charge of writing a script that starts to stop the virtual machines and servers in a given cluster. Now that I am relatively new to the environment here, so I don't know if all the virtual machines have the tools are installed. I want to cover all bases and the virtual machines that do not have the tools installed. My script done now is it initiates closing the comments on all the virtual machines and check every 10 seconds to 120 seconds for virtual machines go offline if after 120 seconds, there are even virtual machines online, it issues a shutdown command on all servers that have not stopped. Now, he'll catch all the virtual machines, but I don't want the machine have to wait 2 minutes before totality if it can be avoided (remember that this script will be executed when the data center goes to the power of the UPS for every watt account to keep critical systems online). the script throws an error when it cannot stop because no tool is installed, so I thought I could use a try/catch block to catch the error and send just a detroit of turning control of these VMs off. I tried to do, but without success.

  Is it possible that I can either catch the error, or a stop all virtual machines that do not have the tools installed?

  Attached is my code, maybe you can spot what can I do to stop the virtual machines without tools within the do / while loop when errors occur first.

• stop all VMS using the command line

  Hello

  I use vSphere 4.1.

  I want to stop all using my VM command line, but at the same time (if possible), in a flexible way.

  I know there is the command vmware-cmd, but it only works if the virtual machine has vmtools installed, and this is not the case in some of my virtual machines.

  So, is there another way to stop a virtual machine (which is not installed vmtool) command line?

  Thank you.

  I have changed according to your needs. the following command turns off only to the desired virtual machine

  Just replace the name of yourvm with the name of the virtual machine and provide your credentials vcenter IP and the user. I marked in red.

  When executing this command to keep an eye on vcenter you will notice vm stop

  Connect-VIServer vcenterIP address - protocol https-yourusername username-password yourpassword

  Get-VM-yourvm name. Stop-VMGuest-confirm: $false

• A stop of mass in script order

  I was asked to describe a method to paralyze all servers (physical and virtual) in our datacenter as fast so that possible, but in a particular order.  In regards to the MV I have stop a lot over the weekend with a script that runs get - vm '< my server name >' | stop-vmguest-confirm: $false against a list of servers 10.  But that was the extent of my PowerCLI script to date.  And never change these virtual machines in this list.

  Can someone point me in the right direction on the commissioning of the following maybe

  Nightly run a script that will meet the list of all virtual machines in my environment (to capture all newly created or recently deleted VMs) and put all the virtual machines in a CSV file or something in an order based on test in the section notes so that for example all the application of test and development servers are grouped to be arrested front of databases of test/dev servers.

  Then have a script just wait, the runtime will begin to close all virtual machines in the most recent CSV in the right order.

  The reason for this, if you are interested is that 2 weeks ago we had a power failure so we have no generator.  Our UPS allows the data center to operate for about 30 minutes.  Of course, because these things can never happen at night, at the time that someone was here to start closing things they had only minutes to disable the physical key and virutal machine and they obviously ran out of time.  So now we are looking for a logon and perform a 1 click solution to start stop everything.

  We will be having a blackout week next to replace some electrical equipment and would like to have the script ready right here.

  Anyone who is willing to give me a hand or point me in the right direction?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Nothing really wrong with the approach, but why bother with CSV if you can do hot?

  I guess you something in the notes which indicate that it is (testDB, prodDB, testApp).  You can also do this if you have a Server naming convention that indicates what it is.

• script to stop the vm on the specific host

  I am writing a script to shutdown gracefully all the VMs on a specific host.  I can make it work very well by connecting directly to the host with:

  Get - esx myesxhost-user root - password password

  stop-vmguest *.

  that works really well. But what I want to do is to connect via VC to use accounts AD rather than use root host accounts.

  so:

  to connect-viserver (or get - vc) myvcserver-user me-password password

  stop-vmguest *-Server myesxhost

  makes me an error saying "cannot bind parameter 'server'. Could not convert "myesxhost" to "VMware.VimAutomation.Types.VIServer."

  I looked around and found some info when you are connected to the VC, a host does not count as a "Server" when you use the - Server parameter. Or something like that. I'm new to scripting so apologies if I'm doing it wrong.

  So I tried something that I found on the forum here, where you create a variable for $server that is bound to a host

  $server = get-vmhost myesxhost

  And then I tried:

  stop-vmguest *-Server $server

  and I get the same error as above, including the correct host name. So, I know that I managed to create $server, but apparently this is not the right solution to the problem.

  Help please?

  Thank you!

  You can do it with the right word.
