Syncronize "tags" between vcenter servers

Maybe someone already has a solution to do this, so I'll ask here until I get out all my hair.

In one of our vcenter, we started the use of the tags later. Similar to this is the way we want to go, so now the challenge is to "synchronize" tags between all of our vcenter servers.

I hope that some of you already have a way to do this, or an idea on where to start.

I suppose we could export using csv and import them to a different vcenter? Or is there a better way?

Suggestions are welcome at this stage...

Best regards

You can use a CSV file to export/import of categories and labels.

Something like that.

Note that according to the number of connections that you opened, you must use the Server parameter to indicate the location of export/import.

(1) export

& {{foreach ($tCat in Get-TagCategory)

$tags = get-Tag-category $tCat

{if ($Tags)}

$tags | Select @{N = 'Category'; E={$tCat.name}},@{N='cDescription'; E={$tCat.Description}},@{N='Cardinality'; {E = {$tCat.Cardinality}}, Name, Description

}

else {}

$tCat | Select @{N = 'Category'; E={$tCat.name}},@{N='cDescription'; E={$tCat.Description}},@{N='Cardinality'; E={$tCat.cardinality}},@{N='Name'; {E = {""}}, @{N = 'Description'; E={''}}

}

}} | Export Csv C:\tag.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

(2) import

foreach ($tag in c:\tag.csv Import-Csv - UseCulture) {}

Try {}

Get-TagCategory-name $tag. Category - ErrorAction Stop

}

Catch {}

New-TagCategory-name $tag. Category Description $tag.cDescription - $tag cardinality. Cardinality-confirm: $false

}

if($tag.) {Name)

Try {}

Get-Tag-category $tag. Category-name $tag. Name - ErrorAction Stop

}

Catch {}

-Tag - new name $tag. Name - category $tag. Category Description $tag. Description-confirm: $false

}

}

}

  • Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

    Hi all

    My question is quite simple:

    -Is it possible to migrate a virtual machine between vcenter servers programmatically?

    Let's say we have two data centers:

    vcenter1

    -vm1

    -vm2

    vcenter2

    -vm3

    Is it possible to migrate vms between vcenter2 and vcenter1 programmatically? (or vice versa)?

    Also, I'm assuming that the appropriate VLAN and data warehouses across the different vcenters!

    Thank you

    Luis

    It is not possible, vMotion or migration live is in an instance of vCenter, it cannot be covered through two even if you have the data store accessible both vCenters and sets of the host. At best, you can unregister the virtual machine of vCenter 1 host and re-save as on vCenter 2 host, but once again, it is while the virtual machine is turned off.

    Stephan

    Hello Stephan,

    With EtherChannels, a single flow (the flow of images/packages with the same source and destination) is always carried by a single link only. Implementation of Cisco implements not balancing on connections in an EtherChannel load by package, and it avoids a reason: executives could get reorganized, something this plain Ethernet never should do. This means that you will not see an improvement in bandwidth on the speed of a single link to your EtherChannel for a single stream. It is only the overall bandwidth for several stream which increases. The advantage of EtherChannel becomes therefore obvious that if your server starts many conversations and several stream handling.

  • A list of virtual machines to different vCenter servers

    I am running a report that connects to the servers multiple vCenter.  Within these vCenter servers, I have a number of clusters and in each group a subset of virtual machines that I'll call acme VMs with the acmevmnaming convention 1, acmevm3, acmevm2, etc.  They all start with acmevm*.

    Is it possible to create a report that tells me how many acme VMs are in each vCenter, and how many are in each cluster?

  • Managing 2 vsphere vcenter servers

    We have 2 each Vcenter server running data centers.  (Principal and Dr. Colo data center).  In Vcenter 4, we had our configured client vsphere where we could both stop VCenter VShpere inside servers.   I could log into my main data center and the VCenter servers were visible and manageable.  (Even with our Colo).  Somehow during our migration up to 5 VCenter, we lost that connection.

    I would like to pick it up where I can see them both again.

    Looks like the linked Mode must be configured again.

  • vMotion between two servers vCenter

    From what I've read so far, it seems that this is not possible, but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

    Is it possible to live migrate a virtual machine on a host managed by 'a vCenter server' to another host managed by "vCenter Server B? All subnets and storage is exactly the same (we have our own hosts and storage, but it's just all managed under a vCenter Server now). We're just trying to completely separate our hosts and virtual machines to a subcontractor who took over the virtual environment (with the exception of what runs my team)

    I have the feeling that this requires time, which is unfortunate, because it means that it will take an extremely long time to coordinate and plan for all this work. Thought it was worth asking if...

    Thank you.

    I did something similar week last during the upgrade a 4.0 environment. I installed vCenter 5.1, then disconnected and removed the hosts the old vcenter (without first disconnecting that will prompt you to place the host in maintenance mode) and finally added to the new vCenter Server without downtime for virtual machines.

  • Quick vMotioning problem between two servers HP BL460c Gen 9 when EVC enabled

    I have two HP BL460c Gen 9 blades configured exactly the same thing with 2 x Intel XEON E5-2660 v3 processors in each of them. Both running the same version ROM (I36 06/05/2015) and running the same version of ESXi (5.0.0 build 2509828). They are managed by a Server Build 2656067 vCenter 5.0.0.

    When I configure these two servers in a cluster with EVC disabled I am able to vMotion between them. However, if I activate the Intel EVC modes so I am unable to vMotion between these two identical servers.  Here is an example of the message that I get when I updated Westmere VCA mode

    Host CPU is not compatible with the requirements of the virtual machine to CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register

    Bits of the host: 0000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011

    Required: x 110: x01x:11 x 1: 1xx0:xx11:xx1x:xxxx:xx11

    Inconsistency detected for these features:

    * General incompatibilities

    If I disable CVS, then I can vMotion VMs between them.

    I wanted to add these hosts to an existing cluster configured with EVC Westmere mode so that I was able to vMotion between old and new guests, but was unable to vMotion VMs off the new hosts, even if I tried to vMotion to another new host.

    Configure a new cluster with only these two new hosts to so I could experiment. I can only vMotion between them if CVS is disabled. I cannot further increase the VCA mode on this new cluster, for example of Westmere to Sandy Bridge then I have virtual machines under tension within the cluster. For example: I put the VCA mode at Westmere, feeding on a virtual computer, when I go to change the CVS to Sandy Bridge mode I get the following message, I should be able to increase the VCA mode but may not lower it

    The cluster cannot be configured with the selected Enhanced vMotion

    Compatibility mode; The CPU features disabled by this mode may be currently in use

    by slot voltage or suspension of the virtual machines in the cluster.

    I get this message even if I try to set the VCA mode at the same level, that it is already.

    Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Seems, your CPU supports 5.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.0, you must upgrade your vSphere vSphere 6.x for the VCA.

    See the links below and also compatibility VCA matrix attached:

  • Laptop user moves between 2 servers the IPCC CAD problem

    Call unique Manager cluster 4.02 SR1, separate the 2 servers of the IPCC (3.5 (3)) are installed, one in each building. 100 MB ethernet between the sites.

    I have a user that moves between the 2 buildings. They have the installed CAD. How can I get the CAD turn to the IPCC correct server when the user changes buildings? Is there a. INI file that could be exchanged with a batch file or is it a bunch of registry entries that tell the CAD which server of the IPCC to connect to?

    We do this from time to time, when you work with different clients. Assuming you have the same exact versions of software, which you say that you don't have, you can do it with only changes in registry. You must exchange the content of:

    Setup HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Spanlink\Site

    and then run the agent. You can pick up the right CAD clients installed registry values, or you can get them on the respective servers of IPCCX who have exactly the same inputs in the same places. Use the registry editor to export the contents of this key in a file, their two servers or two customer installs. Give these two .reg files to the user.

    Just a double click on the .reg files in Windows in the local registry (after confirmation), is important to crush what is already there. Then start the CAD and he will speak to the good LDAP directory and the server IPCCX.

    Thank you!

    Potentially, you can store your password as a string that is encrypted in a text file as I described here Powershell: securing the credentials using the PSCredential class | Deans blog

    This will allow you to recover the encrypted string and convert it into a secure string supplied and this move to the PSCredential class for authentication.

  • Strategy for the SSO with multiple vCenter servers.

    We are upgrading vSphere/SRM 5.0U1 for vSphere/SRM 5.5U1 with multiple vCenters in our environment. After reading 2058239 KB:

    VMware KB: installing vCenter Single Sign-On 5.5 on a Microsoft Windows platform

    We install SSO on a separate Windows Server and choose vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server for this first instance. Now my question is for the following facilities as the vCenter for MRS or vCenters which manages areas replacement fault which option, existing site or new, do we choose? Thank you


    You have therefore three sites.

    The first time, you will choose vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server.

    For the second one on the same site, you choose existing vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server in a site.

    Now, when you come to an another site vCenter and third, you will need to decide if you have a site that is your main or you want to still have a site on the second.

    If you decide to join at the elementary level, that you will yet choose existing vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server in a site.

    If you choose to have another site, you choose vCentre of Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server with a new site.

    The end of it, you will have to make the decision to design. I can only tell you what they mean. Make sure you have adequate connectivity between sites.

  • Work with multiple vCenter servers in PowerCLI

    VI the value of multiple server mode:

    Game-PowerCLIConfiguration - multiple DefaultVIServerMode - confirm: $false

    Connect to two servers vCenter:

    SE connect-VIServer-Server vc1, vc2-userid of the user

    Find the cluster and do not specify a VC:

    Get-Data Center-Cluster clusterA

    Cluster data center is displayed correctly:

    name of the data center in VC1

    name of the data center by VC2

    Try to specify what VC of query:

    Get-Data Center-Cluster cluster - server VC2

    the names of three data centers are returned which makes no sense (only one contains the cluster)

    Trying to figure out how better to work with the simultaneous connections of VC in a script and dictate what VC I want to execute a command against rather than disconnect and reconnect etc.

    I think there could be a problem with the cmdlet.

    You are using PowerCLI 5.5 R2 I guess?

    When you try like this

    Get-Data Center-Cluster (Cluster-Get-name ClusterA-Server VC1)

    is it returns 1 datacenter or 2?

  • creation and assignment of tags in vCenter via vCO

    VMware is moving away from custom attributes and categories and tags.  Currently, vCO vCenter workflows for the creation of custom attributes, however, I found nothing on the automation of the creation and assignment of tags with virtual machines.

    Finally, I should mention the category via vCAC at the time of commissioning.  tag could be billing department as well as the response or if the tag exists (IE Engineering) and then he would associate the (engineering) tag to the category (dept billing).  However if the tag does not exist, then a new tag and associated with the virtual machine.

    thoughts?

    PowerShell commands

    Since version VMware PowerCLI 5.5R1 and until there are a number of commands for working with tags, such as:

    • Get - Tag
    • New-TagAssignment

    I had similar questions about the tags quite awhile (5.1 is released at the time).  I don't think I ever got a response.  In the meantime, you could create a wrapper for PowerCLI orders or make calls directly to the api.  A little messy but it would work.
