The easiest for the owner of the virtual machine for heel of workflow?

I'm trying to shoot and use the owner of the virtual machine in one of my workflow and it doesn't look like vCACVirtualMachine has these available goods.  What is the best way to get in my workflow for later use?

You can try that... but there might be a problem of synchronization on the creation of an entity.

(I think that there is a vcacvm.getEntity () method to get the actual entity.  I can't check right now).

var ownerEntity = virtualMachineEntity.getLink (vCACHost, 'Owner') [0];

Name of owner var = ownerEntity.getProperty ("UserName");

I think I have other methods as well.  You have reason to assume that the applicant is not always the owner.

  • Deployment of a virtual machine from a store of data with less space, but enough for the virtual machine

    I received this delicate task, and I can understand not just how to replace all parts.

    I need to create a script that will be smartly decided what data store to deploy a virtual computer.  We do not want to deploy in a data store that has the most space, we want to deploy to the data store that has the least space but can still account for the space for the (vm + 5%) and still leave 50 GB free on the lun after the move.

    Thus, for example, if the virtual machine is 40 GB, we want the script to select the data store that has a close to 90 GB available without being under.

    So my thought for this approach is:

    • Create the query to get all the relevant LUNS.  This excludes all the LUNS with the 'local' name in it and excludes all LUN owners (who have a slightly different naming convention then our general shared storage LUNS)
      • This piece, which I partially understood
        • Get-datastore. WHERE-object {($_.)} Name: corresponds to "PAR0 [1-4] _ [edp] * disk *")- and ($_.) "." Name - notmatch 'local')}
      • Now, I need to get all of their total size and free space.  Perhaps export this list to a CSV, however if I have to.
      • Create a variable that contains: the size of the total virtual machine to the virtual machine that is deployed before its deployment.
      • Deduct vm size against each data store size and pull in some way that that also close to 50 GB free on the data store and still facilitates the deployment of the vm.

    I have a few other scripts, I scrounged on the internet that I tried to restore... but I just don't calm not having all the pieces...

    • Get-Datastore. Where-Object {$_.} ParentFolder-match 'Internal'} ' | Select-Object - property data center, FreeSpaceMB, CapacityMB name, ' | Tri-objet-property FreeSpaceMB

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) include SP1 is the Virtual Machine for Java (MSJVM) installed on this and future Service Packs Microsoft remove it?

    While the installation of Microsoft DirectX 9.0 c on my Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002) operating system (not sure if the 2002 version in it's original state included SP1), EULA (EULA) provided the contract included a paragraph stating that "ONLY in regards to THE VIRTUAL MACHINE MICROSOFT FOR JAVA, YOU ARE ONLY ALLOWED to INSTALL THIS OS COMPONENT ON A MACHINE THAT CONTAINS A ALREADY the VERSION OF THE MICROSOFT JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE". Assuming that the MSJVM was included with Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002), I advanced and accepted the EULA. I then downloaded and installed Windows XP SP2 and SP3, but wasn't sure whether SP2 and SP3 removed the MSJVM in any point. However, research on the question, I discovered the site "FAQ of Transition MSJVM" (updated May 7, 2004), who answered the question: ' if I install Windows XP SP1a or later, it will remove my current MSJVM? " with "No, the operating system upgrade will not remove a MSJVM existing on the computer" (http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/en/us/interoperability/java/faq.aspx). However, I can't find any instance of it on my computer.

    So my questions are:

    1. Windows XP Home (Version 2002) Edition include SP1?
    2. The MSJVM is installed on this version?
    3. SP2 or SP3 removes the MSJVM in any point to?

  • Metric of availability for the virtual machine

    Hi all

    I know that stands metric Uptime to know for how long the virtual machine worked without a reboot, but I want to understand what is the best value of this metric?

    If I put the time in a dashboard, when is red, yellow and green?

    Thank you.

    Availability is not defined in a range or hundreds.

    What exactly you're trying to find availability? Want to know how long the machine is for?  It's a number that rises and sinks to zero when you restart. There is no transition between different values such as CPU utilization or memory.

  • Customization of the comments for the virtual machines deployed from model has stopped working

    Hi all

    (Environment: vCenter and ESXi 10 5.1 hosts running Build #3070626)

    We have a model 2012R2 and a file specification of customization that allows us to deploy the VMs 2012R2 server. It worked well for a while. After the Christmas break, it seems more work correctly and we havn't knowingly changed anything to cause this. We have fixed our ESXi hosts Build #3070626 October 6, but have deployed VMs of model since, without problem.

    We have all staged for the VM in advance (IE AD entry of objects and DNS). And then powered the deployed virtual computer, sysprep runs, but does not seem to apply settings in the customization file (IE rename the virtual computer, set the Admin password, join the domain etc.). If feed us the cycle of the VM, sysprep is running again, but even once, does nothing.

    I have attached the contents of my file guestcust.log of a computer deployed virtual (see below), but I do not see the clues about the problem. I thought initially the error on the first line was important, until I've found it is also present on the virtual machines that have been successfully deployed from this template in the past, so it's maybe a Kipper.

    Does anyone have advice for troubleshooting this?

    TIA

  • SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

    Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

    One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

    More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).


    Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Andy

    Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

    The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

    To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

    > Or should I be worried about the consistency of VMDK?

    Less consistency, but more info on missing hard of header/descriptor files! It seems that someone tried to delete files of the virtual machine from the store data, but because of the locks on files that only some files have been deleted. According to the used backup application, you may be able to recover the missing files in the backup. If not, you can for example follow VMware KB: Re-create a missing virtual machine disk descriptor file, or create a new virtual machine in a laboratory environment (with the same disc size, configuration and the name) and allows to download the .vmx and hard descriptor WinSCP example files. If you have enough disk space in the lab, creating thin configured virtual disks and then change the file descriptor (remove ddb.thinProvisioned = '1')
