• Differences in strange output of get - vm

  Hello

  While writing a script today, I came across a strange difference in the output of get - vm.

  When running the CLI, I see the following:

  Get - vm fw - int

  
  

  Name PowerState Num CPU memory (MB)
  ----                 ---------- -------- -----------
  FW - PoweredOff 1 256 int

  running from a script (viserver-connect, get - vm, viserver unplug) the output looks like this:

  PowerState: PoweredOff
  Version: v7

  If I use get - vm | format-table in the script, I get an error

  off-lineoutput: the object of type 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Internal.Format.FormatStartData' is invalid or not in the right order. It is likely that

  caused by an order specified by the user "format-table" which is in conflict with the default formatting.
  + CategoryInfo: InvalidData: (:)) [off-lineoutput], InvalidOperationException)
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: ConsoleLineOutputOutOfSequencePacket, Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.OutLineOutputCommand

  If I delete the connect-viserver of the script and run it after you connect manually I get the same result if I execute the command in the cli.

  How are these possible differences?

  Used PowerCLI version is U1 4.1 build 332441. The vSphere environment is 4.1 (no update 1 yet).

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Christian,

  This happens when your script generates two different types of records. In this case, the output of the Connect-VIserver and cmdlets Get - VM. You can prevent this behavior in your case by changing the line Connect-VIServer in $VIServer = ConnectVIserver.

• Spaces in the output from robohelp

  Hello

  I created a doc of Framemaker using the DITA Open Toolkit and related to Robohelp to generate Webhelp. I use Adobe Tech Comms Suite v2, incidentally.

  When the publication in Robohelp If spacing between words is really wide, about double or triple the norm. I have looked at the paragraph Designer in the framework and you see nothing obviously wrong and style in Robohelp sheets displayed something strange no more. Anyone got any ideas where I should be looking?

  Help apprecicated - I searched in this market and stop for a few weeks now.

  I had this as well; I changed the wee in the CSS for MS 0 for all

  styles; for some reason any HR added spacing.

  Hello Cezar

  You should clarify directly with your local dealer or the Toshiba service. I have too many Satellite A200 and my laptop is quiet enough and described it is not normal for me.

  Sorry, but to say with certainty if there is something strange or not I should have the laptop in front of me. Second issue with the battery is as strange and it is certainly the second reason to contact ASP.

• host name of output of get-vievent filter

  Hi guys,.

  I have a question about the host name filtering in an output of get-vievent. for example, I tried to extract only the host name of the following command:

  Get-VIEvent - maxsamples 20000 | where {$_.} GetType(). Name - eq "VmRemovedEvent"} | Sort descending Createduserid | Select FullFormattedMessage

  Already tried some things like split and toppings, but this does not work for me.

  The name of the server is always based on a ground known as SERVER-< description >.

  Sure. For the removed VM also is just an additional line of PowerCLI:

  Get-VIEvent -maxsamples 20000 |
  where {$_.Gettype().Name -eq "VmRemovedEvent"} |
  Sort CreatedTime -Descending |
  Select @{N="VMHost";E={$_.Host.Name}},
    @{N="VM";E={$_.Vm.Name}}

  What's wrong? any suggestions?

  Many thanks and greetings

  Hello

  This particular Get-Datastore call returns a single object, which cannot be converted to the ICollection. But you can do something like this:

  If ($GetDatastore-[table]) {}

  $array. AddRange ($GetDatastore)

  } else {}

  $array. Add ($GetDatastore)

  }

  It will manage both situations - when you get the data object store or table of data warehouses.

• Virtual MACHINE created on date export csv - get - vm testvm works but says testvm get-vmcreationdate is not found.

  Hello

  I entered the following two functions in my shell powercli

  Two functions I have installed

  function {Get-VMEvents < #. . Logbook Get events for an entity or query all events. . Description This function returns the events for the entities. It is very similar to cmdlet Get-vievent. Please note that get-VMEvent can handle 1 vm at a time. You can't send picture of vms in this version of the script. . Example of Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent". He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent" 'VmClonedEvent '. . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '. Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents. Yet, it is OK when you do, it will be just a little more slow < span class = "wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-blink of eye" title = ';') > ;) </span > . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - category 'WARNING '. Will be out all events for vm: 'vm1. It is is faster than the names of piping of cmdlet Get - vm. Category will get-vmevent to search only the defined category events. . Example of Get - vm "vm1 | Get-VMEvents-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent". Shows events for vm1 which will be regarding the events of creation,. and events when when / what mac address is assigned . VM parameter This setting is a unique string that represents the name of the vm. He expects this single vm name There in the virtual Center. Now in the first version of the script, it will only load a case where there is 1 instance of vm selected name. In the future it will load multiple as Well. . Types of parameters If none is specified, it will return all the events. If specified will return Only the events with selected types. For example: "VmCreatedEvent." "VmDeployedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent" "VmClonedEvent", etc... . Category of a parameter Possible categories are: warning, info, error. Please use this setting if you you want to filter events. .

  . Logbook

  Gets if possible virtual machine created.

  . Description

  This function will return the object with information about the creation time, method, of months,.

  creator of particular virtual machine.

  VMname: SomeVM12

  Createduserid: 10/08/2012 11:48:18

  CreatedMonth: August

  CreationMethod: cloned

  Creator: office\greg

  This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not

  more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have

  entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible

  you find this event.

  . Example of

  Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.

  This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names

  myvm1 and myvm2

  . Example of

  Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  Located in Cluster1

  . Example of

  Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you

  having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.

  . Example of

  $report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate

  $report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv

  Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.

  You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select

  $report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth

  So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.

  . Example of

  Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55

  WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?

  VMname: testvm55

  Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03

  CreatedMonth: October

  CreationMethod: NewVM

  Creator: home\greg

  In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.

  You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on

  dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is

  probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.

  . Parameter VMnames

  This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm

  names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or

  get - view.

  Now, if I use the first command

  Get - vm testvm

  I get a response of

  ----                 ---------- -------- --------

  Receiving TestVM 4 4,000

  But if I do

  Get-vmcreationdate testvm

  he responds with

  WARNING: testvm is not found. misspelling?

  I can't understand why he says this?

  What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?

  I was intending to use

  get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".

  But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."

  Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls

  Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.

  You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.

  If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.

  $vmName = 'testvm '.

  $tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

  $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

  Get-VIEvent-body $vm - MaxSamples ([int]: MaxValue) |

• result of foreach not getting attached to the export-csv

  Hello people,

  I am trying to learn powercli. I use under commads to get information for VMs. looks like the results not add in the csv file. CSV file shows the result of the latest VM in import-csv file.

  Q1 - can you please help identify what is bad in the commands below?

  Q2 - How can I use a single export-csv command to get an output of lines both (get - vm and get-cluster)?

  $vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".
  {foreach ($_.name in $vmname)}
  Get - vm $_.name | Select 'Name', 'Host ' | export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vmname-host-info.csv
  Get-cluster - vm $_.name | Select 'name ' | export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vmcluster-info.csv}

  Thank you!

  You're crushed the CSV file with each iteration of the loop.

  Why do you want to produce 2 CSV files? Is it not easier to keep all the info in 1 file?

  Her you could do something like that

  $vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".
  & {{foreach ($_.name in $vmname)}}
  Get - vm $_.name | Select 'Name","Host",@{N="Cluster '; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}}

  }} | Export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vm-info.csv

  But the best is to use the track more PowerShell

  $vmname = import-csv "C:\vmname.csv".

  Get-VM-name $vmname |

  Select Name,Host,@{N="Cluster; E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}} |

  Export-csv - UseCulture - NoTypeInformation C:\vm-info.csv

• How to export data from $esxcli.nmp.satp.list () to a CSV file

  Hello world

  I am new to scripting. I created a script that will display the data for each host in a cluster to the powercli screen.

  SE connect-VIServer (name of the vCenter server)

  Foreach ($vmhost Get-cluster "Cluster Name" |) Get-VMHost | Name Sort-Object)

  {

  $esxcli = get-EsxCli - VMHost $vmhost

  Write-host - foregroundcolor green "Server:"$vmhost. "

  $esxcli.storage.nmp.satp.list)

  }

  Disconnect VIServer (name of the vCenter server) - confirm: $false

  I need help to get the data, the script displays an on-screen in a CSV file. Help will be very appreciated.

  Hello

  Welcome to the VMware VMTN communities.

  You were pretty close with your script. There are two things I want to say about it:

  First of all, in PowerShell you do not use parentheses around parameter in the cmdlet or function call as in other programming or scripting languages.

  Second, to use the Get-EsxCli cmdlet you must be connected directly to the host. That's why I introduced a Connect-VIserver inside the loop.

  Here's my solution that writes the output to a file called storage.csv.

  Connect-VIServer "vCenter server name"
  
  Get-Cluster "Cluster Name" |
  Get-VMHost |
  Sort-Object -Property Name |
  ForEach-Object {
    $vmhost = $_
    Write-Host -foregroundcolor green "Server: $($vmhost.Name)"
    Connect-VIServer $vmhost.Name  | Out-Null
    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $vmhost
    $esxcli.storage.nmp.satp.list()
    Disconnect-VIServer $vmhost.Name -Confirm:$false | Out-Null
  } |
  Export-Csv -Path storage.csv -UseCulture -NoTypeInformation 
  
  Disconnect-VIServer "vCenter server name" -Confirm:$false
  

  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

• Why do I get System.String [] when I export to CSV format instead of the data that I'm looing?

  Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetwork | Select VMHost, VMKernelGateway, DnsAddress, DnsFromDhcp, hostname, domain name SearchDomain

  When I use the above script I get the result on the screen I want to see:

  When I try to channel this output in CSV format, I find myself with a problem:

  Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetwork | Select VMHost, VMKernelGateway, DnsAddress, DnsFromDhcp, hostname, domain name SearchDomain | Export-Csv C:\VMHostDNSinfo.csv

  My CSV does not show the SearchDomain or the DnsAddress. How to replace the [System.Stinr] with a correct output?

  Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostNetwork | `

• I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

  I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

  Hi Phil,

  If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

  You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.
