Take a multiple snapshot of different VM´s

Hello

Anyone got a script to take different VM´s. example multiple snapshots when you windows patch id like to snapshot slected vm´s before applying the patch.

Hi Chrsun02,

"is it a medium esay to ad a function report to the commnad.

Please tell more that you want to report on

"im"wishing to' an easy way to get rid of stereotypes when I know that servers is ok. "

Right, so before patching, you created snapshots for some virtual machines, and gave you the name of the snapshot for this purpose.

for example

Get - vm testgk | New-cliché - memory: $false - suspend: $false-name "testsnapshot001" - Description "my snapshot test patch before.

on my vm testgk, I created the new snapshot with the name "testsnapshot001" for this pupose

now I want to remove it

Get - vm testgk | Get-Snapshot? {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Remove-Snapshot

So I have vm testgk query, ask this virtual machine snapshots that have name testsnapshot001, and then delete the snapshot.

If you have created snpahosts for more virtual machines give their name separated by a ",".

Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot? {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Remove-Snapshot

If you're sure you didn't any what other snapshots you can omit this part?: {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"}

so in the end, you would write:

Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot

If you don't want to answer the question confirmation add - confirm: $true

Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $true

If you want to specify vms not with names but with location:

Get-cluster "my_cluster01" | get - vm | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $true

If you want to get a report for snapshots:

Get - vm | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

So it will go through all of the virtual machines, instant advertising with the name: testsnapshot001 and display its name, date, name of the virtual machine

Get - vm | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

VM name CreatedOn name
----                                         -------                                 ---------
testsnapshot001 testgk 21/08/2012 14:09:47

And even once on the line will interview all machines virtual registerd in vc. If you want to check only for some more specific:

Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

or

Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

to query all snapshots there and not only those that have been made for the purposes of the application of patches

OR!

a dirty, quick control for VMS with snapshots in general:

Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"snapshot" = ""} | Select name

I would like to know if it works for you.

Kind regards

  • Photos of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS - Question

    I have some questions on how to manage the snapshots of virtual machines with multiple disks on different LUNS.  First of all, the LUNS are VMFS.  We are just starting to add virtual machines with dedicated for data storage format VMFS LUNS.  I don't think an extra space must be made for snapshots, as well as at least 100 GB LUN is required to store the data, and then say, add about 25 to 50% of this amount?  Set the 100 GB vmdk file but have the GB from 25 to 50 additional disk space for snapshots, if necessary (rather than just to get a unit number logic needed 100 GB of data and devote all of the 100 GB to the vmdk file).  In addition, if a virtual machine has several files vmdk on different LUNS, which will be a problem to take a snapshot, and is it possible to do just a snapshot of a disk of a virtual computer (as the volume of the BONE)?

    Thanks for any help.

    Snapshot files are created in the home folder of the VM by default for all virtual disks, no matter on what data store they are. You must make sure you have enough free disk space on the data store for snapshots.

    If you want to exclude a virtual disks of taking snapshots, you can set it to 'Independent' - 'Persistent' machine virtual settings to the HARD drive.

  • Small Noob Question - multiple snapshots

    VMware Server 2 using the Web interface to manage my VMs, I see the following commands under the snapshot:

    Take a snapshot

    Go back to the snapshot

    Remove the snapshot

    I took several shots.  but when choosing to go back to the snapshot, it is only up to the last snapshot.  Also withdrawal snapshot deletes the last snapshot.  Is it not possible to have multiple snapshots in this version of VMWare? TIA!

    VMware Server 1 and 2 have only the ability to 1 snapshot.  (A limitation of design from the beginning.)  If you need multiple snapshots, you must change for ESX (i) or workstation (or merge if you have a Mac).

    I have a client who is in British Colombia and moved to Infusionsoft.

    At that time there BC might not take a deposit which was different from that of the monthly payments.

  • Playback of multiple files with different file extensions

    Hi all

    Is there a way where we can read multiple files with different file extensions using file adapter?



    < property name = value=".*\.csv"IncludeFiles"/ >

    Can include us a few models more file in the property above? Please let me know

    Yes you can. .

    But here, the thing you need to do is all these files must have the same format (XSD)

    You can dynamically pass the name of the file to invoke the activity of the file that is the property of jca.file.filename

    The value given when you set up the adapter will be written by this value. .

    Hope this will help you

    If this is not the case, let me know. .

  • How can I send docs to multiple signatories with different addresses on sign of Echo?

    How can I send docs to multiple signatories with different addresses on sign of Echo?

    Hello

    In EchoSign, you simply have to add e-mail addresses to each signatory in the box 'To' and set the saved order. If you have to close, you must enter your last e-mail address and check the box "I need to sign. The shape that you send must have signature of blocks for each signatory but apart from that, there are other special rules or the necessary implementation. If you continue to experience problems try this, detail your problem here and I'll do what I can to help.

    Is there a way I can place a watermark on the bottom right of the multiple images, any size images? I tried to use Photoshop Scripts > image processor, but it only works for images of the same size. I want to put the watermark on multiple images of different sizes. It is the output I got.

    For the first image watermark placed properly, but for the second picture watermark is distracted. As you can clearly see the dimensions are different. Please suggest me a solution.

  • Multiple snapshots

    Someone remind me how best to do so. I found a virtual machine that has 6 shots dating back to November. We want to keep any changes.

    I have to go back and committed each of them in the order (oldest to newest?) Or just hire the newest one?

    Just a little backwards, but that's ok.  So if you take five snapshots n them sequentially over a period of five days and you wanted to commit to the current state of the machine you would remove 5, then 4, then 3, then 2 and finally 1.  I know it seems backwards, but it's the way that you are able to turn back the clock, if you wanted to snapshot 3 and validate these changes if you want to.

    If you really want to learn how to work the snapshots create a test computer and create some shots and some branching off to.  Open Notepad and create different documents allowing them to save money, but also leave them open for the screenshot displays on the thumbnail on each of them.

  • The ipad pro supports multiple monitors with different content on each screen?

    I want to replace my laptop with an ipad pro.  Currently I drive three screens with my laptop, all with different content (VGA, HDMI, laptop screen) with no additional adapters.  The Ipad pro has a video card that will allow me to run multiple monitors (3 including the pro) with different content on each monitor?

  • ASA 5510 VPN multiple tunnels through different interfaces

    Is it possible to create VPN tunnels on more than one interface to an ASA (specifically 5510 with 8.4), or I'm doing the impossible?

    We have 2 public interfaces on our ASA connected to 2 different suppliers.

    We must work L2L tunnels of the SAA for remote offices through the interface that is our ISP 'primary' and also used as our default gateway for internet traffic.

    We are trying to install a remote office use our secondary connection for its tunnel (office of high traffic we would prefer separate away from the rest of our internet and VPN traffic).

    I can create the tunnel with the ACL appropriate for traffic tunnel, card crypto, etc., put in place a static route to force ASA to use the secondary interface for traffic destined for the public of the remote gateway IP address, and when I finished, traffic initiated by the remote site will cause the tunnel to negotiate and find - I can see the tunnel in Show crypto ikev1 his as L2L answering machine MM_ACTIVE , Show ipsec his with the right destination and correct traffic local or remote identities for interesting, but the ASA local never tries to send traffic through the tunnel.  If I use tracers of package, it never shows a VPN that is involved in the trafficking of the headquarters in the remote desktop, as if the SAA is not seeing this as for the corresponding VPN tunnel traffic.

    If I take the exact same access and crypo card statements list and change them to use the primary ISP connection (and, of course, change the remote desktop IP connects to), then the connection works as expected.

    What Miss me?

    Here is a sample of the VPN configuration: (PUBLIC_B is our second ISP link, 192.168.0.0/23 is MainOffice 192.168.3.0/24 is FieldOffice)

    permit access list range 192.168.0.0 PUBLIC_B_map 255.255.254.0 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0

    NAT (Inside, PUBLIC_B) static source MainOffice MainOffice static FieldOffice FieldOffice

    card crypto PUBLIC_B_map 10 corresponds to the address PUBLIC_B_map

    card crypto PUBLIC_B_map 10 set counterpart x.x.x.x

    card crypto PUBLIC_B_map 10 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA ikev1

    PUBLIC_B_map PUBLIC_B crypto map interface

    tunnel-group x.x.x.x type ipsec-l2l

    tunnel-group ipsec-attributes x.x.x.x

    IKEv1 pre-shared-key *.

    Route PUBLIC_B x.x.x.32 255.255.255.224 y.y.y.y 1

    If I take this same exact configuration and change it to use PUBLIC (our primary connection) instead of PUBLIC_B, remove the instruction PUBLIC_B route and change the desktop to point to the ip address of the PUBLIC, then everything works, so my access list and crypto map statements must be correct.

    What I don't understand is why the ASA Head Office does not seem to recognize interesting for the tunnel traffic when the tunnel is for the second ISP connection, but works when it is intended for the main ISP.  There is no problem of connectivity with the ISP Internet B - as mentioned previously, the tunnel will come and negotiate properly when traffic is started from the desktop, but the traffic of main office is never sent to the bottom of the tunnel - it's as if the ASA does not think that traffic of 192.168.0.x to 192.168.3.x should pass through the VPN.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I think your problem is that there is no route for the actual remote network behind the VPN L2L through ISP B connection

    You could try adding add the following configuration

    card crypto PUBLIC_B_map 10 the value reverse-road

    This should automatically add a static route for all remote networks that are configured in the ACL Crypto, through the interface/link-ISP B.

    If this does not work, you can try to manually add a static route to the ISP B link/interface for all remote networks VPN L2L in question, and then try again.

    The route to the remote VPN peer through the ISP B does not to my knowledge.

    I would like to know if it works for you.

  • I can't generate multiple signals with different phases.

    Hello community!

    I created a simple signal generator versatile (see Signal "Generator.vi"). When I try to put two of these generators in the same VI ("testbed non working.vi"), I'm not able to independently change the phase of the two signals. Only one of the two phase buttons actually modifies the two signals, while it has no effect.

    However if I copy and paste the exact schema even twice in the same VI, rather then import VI Builder, everything works fine ("Test Bench working.vi").

    It seems to me that the two generators are sharing anything other than the phase variable. I'm new to LabView and I can't understand what is happening and how to fix it. Can you please help me understand?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    This is because multiple instances of the basic vi function generator will work regardless - they share information.

    To fix this one true constant wire to signal to reset the basic vi function generator enter your generator of signals vi.

  • Open multiple applications on different screens (Windows 8)?

    Is it possible in Windows 8 to open two applications to those, one on each of my two screens?

    If you have several displays connected to a device Windows 8, it will display the Start Page of Windows on a single screen and the classic desktop on the other screen. This is normal, because modern applications are designed for use in single screen.

    In short, no.. Windows apps Store can be on one screen, if the office is extended to multiple monitors. However, you can mirror your modern splash screen.
