• How to count the number of virtual machines that are turned on.

  Try to learn this PowerShell stuff... oh what fun.

  Given that maintenance mode does not work unless you manually VMotion servers or stop them, I am trying to program a loop to make sure that all VM on the host is disabled.

  How can I get the value of "#PoweredOn" in this statement so that I can compare it? I want to leave the loop when the number of virtual machines under voltage = 0.

  function shutdownGuests()

  {

  Get-VMHost HOST1. Get - VM | Stop-VMGuest

  $num_powered_on = $null

  {}

  Write-Host $num_powered_on

  Write-Host $PoweredOn

  $num_powered_on = get-VMHost HOST1. Select-Object Name, @{Name = "#PoweredOn"; Expression = {($_ |)} Get - VM | Where-Object {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} | Measure-Object). {{Count}}

  Start-Sleep - seconds 10

  } While that ($num_powered_on & gt; 0)

  #Loop and check to see if all VMs are closed, and then return to main()

  }

  Try something like this:

  while (get-vmhost XXX | get-vm | where { $_.PowerState -ne "PoweredOff" }) {
      # Wait a while
  }

• Models of virtual machines that are not visible after reinstalling Virtual Center

  Hello

  I can see patterns in data warehouses, but not covered by the option "display" under models and virtual computers?

• Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine

  Not possible to export a list of virtual machines that are created in the past 7, 30, 120 and 180 days since an imported csv file containing the date of creation of virtual machine. My questions is the correct statement to the variable: $VmCreated7DaysAgo: $_CreatedOn "-lt" $CDate7.

  # #SCRIPT_START

  $file = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\VM-Repo.csv".

  $Import = import-csv $file

  $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile = "C:\Users\Admin\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\08-18-2014\Last7Days.csv".

  $start7 = (get-Date). AddMonths(-1)

  $CDate7 = $start7. ToString('MM/dd/yyyy')

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo = $Import | Select-object - property name, Powerstate, vCenter, VMHost, Cluster, file, Application, CreatedBy, CreatedOn, NumCpu, MemoryGB | Where-Object {$_.} CreatedOn - lt $CDate7} | Sort-Object CreatedOn

  $TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo = $VmCreated7DaysAgo.count

  $VmCreated7DaysAgo | Export-Csv-path $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

  Write-Host "$TotalVmCreated7DaysAgo VMs created in 7 days" - BackgroundColor Magenta

  Invoke-Item $VMCreatedLast7RDayRepoFile

  # #SCRIPT_END

  You can use the New-Timespan cmdlet in the Where clause, it returns the time difference between 2 DateTime objects.

  An example of this cmdley

  New-TimeSpan-start (Get-Date). AddDays(-7)-end (Get-Date). Select days - ExpandProperty

  In your case, you could do

  Where {(New Timespan-démarrer ([DateTime] $_.))} CreatedOn) - end $start7). {7 days - gt}

  But beware of negative numbers.

• Could not enumerate the virtual machines that are used as models

  Hey guys,.

  I have a simple script that collects information from a virtual computer. Unfortunately, I'm getting a lot of mistakes, he doesn't pull out information if the virtual machine is used as a model.

  $date = get-Date-format-M - d - yyyy

  Import-Csv C:\test\servers_mate.csv - UseCulture | %{

• Backup feature of virtual machine for the virtual machines that are part of a paralytic

  In the powerclibook I found the backup-vm very useful function (Chapter 10)

  I do not post the direct link to the function because I don't know if this is allowed.

  You will find the function if you follow http://www.powerclibook.com/

  I wonder if this could be changed to backup vms several that are part of a paralytic.

  Thanks for help.

  Hi Andreas, no problem mentioning the link since we already published as well in our PowerCLI book: download Scripts, functions and Modules post.

  Regarding your question, you can try something like this

  Get-VM-location (Get-VAPP-name MyvApp). %{

  Backup-VM - VM $_ - Datastore (Get-data store MyDS

• Try to mount a drive on my virtual machine that is not part of the data of the VM store... Please help!

  Hi all

  I have ESXi 4.0 installed on my server, and one of my four VM is an instance of Debian Lenny. My VM residence on a Raid-1 data store according to the 2x1.5TB. I have an additional SATA drive connected to my server (it is in one of the 8 hotswap bays in the server) I want to get on this VM Debian.

  Where can I do if the virtual machine can detect and eventually to mount this drive? I did research on vSphere manual with no luck yet.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  ESXi has several limitations (due to the limited service console).

  So you don't have USB support in the hidden console, you cannot read NTFS and Linux file system (no module in the kernel) and so on...

  As ESX and ESXi cannot (yet) to virtualize a USB device, so you cannot mount your drive in a VM.

  I would suggest using another system (Linux or Windows with a browser to ext2/ext3).

• VCenter shows a network for a virtual machine that is not associated with any host

  I have a win2k3 VM who at one point had a network assigned to him called "MONITORING".  This network is configured is no longer in the ESXi (5.5) environment.  The virtual machine is connected to a network called "PRD-SURVEILLANCE" which is correct.  It's not really cause a problem, but I can't find a way to get rid of the object of MONITORING network.

  In VCenter MONITORING networks has a VM of 1 meter, the number of hosts of 0.  I also see it in the VM - dialog box, change the settings, but there is no option to remove it.  Profile Image to the virtual machine is version 10 so I can't use the old Client of VI to try to remove it.  I have checked each host and do not see this listed network object.

  I tried to restart the VM, it migration between hosts, changing its network of SURVEILLANCE of PRD to another network and vice versa and close - remove NIC and add a new card network.  MONITORING legacy network still appears in the config.

  For the virtual machine's .vmx file shows that the correct network: ethernet0.networkName = 'RDP-ANALYSIS '.

  Any suggestions on how I can remove the artifact of MONITORING network?

  The virtual machine has a preview that was created at the time where the MONITORING network was still affected?

• Configuration of virtual switches that are not updated

  In a vSphere infrastructure 5 based on 2 servers ESXi 5, I moved a few virtual machines to one virtual switch to another.

  Virtual machines work very well.

  If I use vSphere client and look at the configuration of the hosts (host and cluster-> Configuration-> Networking) I see some VM as they were connected either the old virtual switch and the new virtual switch, while they are only connected to the new virtual switch.

  I press "Refresh" without any result.

  If I look at the properties of each virtual computer, I don't see the link to the new virtual switch.

  How can I solve this problem? It is dangerous, even if it does not affect VMs or virtual switches, because it can make operators make mistakes...

  Concerning

  Marius

  Nothing dangerous. You probably have Active snapshots on virtual machines. Once the snapshots are deleted, the 'old' vSwitch and port group will disappear.

• For a given file, how to add and change file properties on the Details tab, for properties that are not in the properties list?

  Now, I am aware of the modification of the properties of the file is simple in Windows 7 Explorer. Select a file, 'Properties', then tab "Details".  Some are not editable, and that's understandable.  Click on next to any area classified as year, Genre, Publisher, etc. and the apply.  No problems so far.

  Then of course in Explorer, when you right click on a column header, you get several choices of column beyond the usual that is displayed by default; Date, the Type, size, etc.  But, there is an option "More...", which has up to now, MUCH more useful properties to choose from, such as the model project, Department, job statusand so on.

  It's fantastic!

  But when you look into the details of any given file, none of these additional properties even are listed to be edited.  Why offer to view these details, if you don't change them, or add them to different files?  I must be missing something.  I do not need to add my own custom details, this additional list has a choice, that I need; If only I could edit the files to get this info.

  How to add and change these properties to files?  Word, Excel, MP4, AVI, JPG; I would add these properties, so I can set directly in the Solution Explorer, as you would by name or Type.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  My experience is that most of these 'extra fields' no existence not as fields in the directory (folder) itself.  On the contrary, these fields exist in the target file itself. Each file type has its own format and established file except for the types of files that belong to Microsoft, Microsoft cannot control or arbitrarily change the format of a particular file type.

  For example, a ".jpg" file  The format of this file type allows a large number of areas such as comments, Tags, date taken, opening, device manufacturer and so on.  If you go into the properties on a .jpg file, you will see a lot of them and will be able to change.  After changing any of these fields, you will find that the file itself has been changed to contain this information (as can be verified by the parity of the file and to come check upward with a different checksum).  If you display one of these fields in Explorer and 10000 ".jpg" files in this folder, then Explorer must open each of these 10000 files to extract the data in the corresponding fields, you have chosen to display.  May take some time.

  Compare that to the same picture saved to a file ".bmp".  The ".bmp" format has no provisions for any of these fields, so you will not be able to view, save, edit, or sort by them.  If the editable fields are directly related to the type of file that is displayed.

  Microsoft has apparently interviewed a lot of file types and made a compilation of the editable fields in each type of file and the Union of the selected fields in which can be displayed and modified.   That's apparently what you see in the option «More...» ».   So, in summary, the file type determines which fields are available for editing and posting.

  HTH,
