• 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

  )

• I am currently using Firefox in 3.6.27. I want to be updated, but not to "the last and best." How can I view a list of all versions of Firefox that are always available, choose the one I want and download it?

  Does not apply.

  In addition, with the new quick release cycle, the update process has changed. For example, the firefox 8 which was released several months ago is the same 8 Firefox there today. For some releases there maybe an update minor to fix one or two issues, but usually known bugs has waited until the next version which will be fixed. (Example, if a bug was in Firefox 5, it was not set up to 6, etc..). So unlike before, when you could run Firefox 3.5.x for looking after 3.6 was released, and the old version have always updated, this story has changed now.

  There is a downgrade of Firefox 3.6, which was left to the organizations until we found a strategy to support. Something that you might be interested in is the Extended Support Release of Firefox. At present, it is based on firefox 10 and you will receive minor updates for a year, then is upgraded to a version not (for example, next year it will probably be Firefox 17) If you want something that isn't to change that but always has the most recent security patches.

• Get the resource pool structure

  Hello

  I try to get the VMS in our resource pools. We have a pool of resources like this structure:

  Ministere1

  -

  ---

  Dev

  -

  ---

  Level 1

  -

  ---

  Level 2

  -

  ---

  Prod

  -

  ---

  Level 1

  -

  ---

  Level 2

  Department2

  -

  Dev

  -

  ---

  Level 1

  -

  ---

  Level 2

  -

  ---

  Prod

  -

  ---

  Level 1

  -

  ---

  Level 2

  Running get-resourcepools the output is like this:

  ID name

  =====================

  Resources ResourcePool-resgroup-8

  Tier1 ResourcePool-resgroup-1011

  Level 2 ResourcePool-resgroup-1012

  Ministere1 ResourcePool-resgroup-305

  Prod ResourcePool-resgroup-306

  Tier1 ResourcePool-resgroup-307

  Level 2 ResourcePool-resgroup-308

  Department2 ResourcePool-resgroup-291

  Level 2 ResourcePool-resgroup-770

  Prod ResourcePool-resgroup-294

  Tier1 ResourcePool-resgroup-296

  Level 2 ResourcePool-resgroup-297

  dev ResourcePool-resgroup-767

  dev ResourcePool-resgroup-759

  Tier1 ResourcePool-resgroup-769

  If I get the virtual machines on each resourcepool in the list above, I'd be unable to distinguish if Tier1 is from the branch of a branch of Department2\Prod or Department1\Dev.

  How can I get that information, that is to say, the 'level 1' resourcepool (ResourcePool-resgroup-296) is in which parent resource group.

  Thank you

  There are 2 things to consider before attack us the script.

  (1) resource pools can be created in 2 different locations, under a Cluster and a standalone host

  (2) in the vSphere environment, there are some hidden files. One of them is the pool of resources of the parent 'resources '.

  You can find this file under each group and each stand-alone host.

  The script uses a function called Get-RpPath, which makes it much easier to recursively down the structure of resource pool

  The script now prints the hidden folder "Resources" as the beginning but this can be replaced by the name of the cluster or standalone host just above.

  The script begins with the collection of all of the 'Resources' folders that are hidden in your vSphere environment and recursively then descends from the quest of sub-resourcepools.

  $indent = 4
  
  function Get-RpPath{
       param($rp, $level)
  
       Write-Host ($rp.Name).PadLeft($level + $rp.Name.Length, "-")
       foreach($child in $rp.ChildConfiguration){
            $nrp = Get-View -Id $child.Entity
            if($nrp.GetType().Name -eq "ResourcePool"){
                 Get-RpPath $nrp ($level + $indent)
            }
       }
  }
  
  $clusters = Get-Cluster
  $hosts = Get-VMHost | where {-not ($_.ParentId -like "Cluster*")}
  
  $RProot = $clusters | % {
       Get-Inventory -NoRecursion -Location $_ | where {$_.gettype().Name -eq "ResourcePoolImpl"}
  }
  $RProot += ($hosts | % {
       Get-Inventory -NoRecursion -Location $_ | where {$_.gettype().Name -eq "ResourcePoolImpl"}
  })
  
  $RProot | Get-View | % {
       Get-RpPath $_ 0

• 'Custom actions' of the CPU in the Resource Pools: should I also set the VMs child on "custom"?

  Hello world

  Imagine a VMware vSphere 4.1 cluster managed, of course, by vCenter Server, with some 4.1 ESXi hosts.

  This cluster has 3 Pools of resources: development, Production, quality

  Now consider that the Resource Pools have been initially implemented in the following way, about the 'actions' for 'CPU resources':

  -Development: Shared low =

  -Quality: Sharing = Medium

  -Production: Sharing high =

  Several virtual machines were placed in the Resource Pools. Some virtual machines are single vCPU, but others are vSMP ones: some have 2 vCPU and some of them have 4 vCPU.

  Now, I read the following articles of the (large) put at disposal by Duncan Epping, VMware, in his blog "Yellow brick", on "Resource Pools" and actions:

  The Resource Pool priority-Pie Paradox - yellow bricks [written by Craig Risinger]
  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/22/the-resource-pool-priority-pie-paradox/

  Actions on Resource Pools

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/12/14/shares-set-on-resource-pools/

  Actions on a Resource Pool, custom scripted

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/02/24/custom-shares-on-a-resource-pools-scripted/

  Now, imagine that I have manually changed several Pools of resources from low/normal/high "Custom" and gave them the following values:

  -Development: 3000

  -Quality: 6000

  -Production: 9000

  The virtual machines inside each Resource Pool appear to be all set up to 'Actions' = 'Normal '.

  I want to know is this:

  1 - since I changed Resource Pool shares 'Low' / 'Normal' / 'High' to 'Custom', I should / need to change the 'actions' in each individual VM from "Normal" to "Custom"?

  2 - I'm guessing that the sum of the actions of all virtual machines in a Resource Pool must be equal to the actions that I gave to this Pool of resources. Am I wrong?

  3 - I also guess that the only practical way to make this change to Virtual PCs, if necessary, is to generate scripts, preferably using PowerCLI. Friend, I have right?

  Thanks in advance!

  See you soon,.

  Whatever resources the resource pool level are applicable to this pool of resources and will get the part accordingly. So that resources will be divided between the virtual machines according to the shares they hold.

  Example:-two pool of resources A and B.

  Total cycles CPU = 10000 Cycles CPU

  A part (custom set) = 6000 CPU Cycle.

  Part B (custom set) = Cycle CPU 4000.

  Now a resource pool has three virtual machines powered with shares.so high normal and low on this desire to cycles CPU 6000 cases divided among them in 4:2:1

  VM1 have = 4 * 6000/7 = 3428 cycles cpu.

  VM2 will get = 2 * 6000/7 = 1714 cycles cpu.

  Vm3 will get = 1 * 6000/7 = 857 cycles cpu.

  so according to your requirement, you can change your actions at the level of the virtual machine.

  PS:shares come into picture when there is a conflict.

• CloneVM_Task fails on the resource pool when cloning tempalte

  I'm trying to use the CloneVM_Task to clone a template, but it keeps failing because no resource pool.  We have a cluster with no pool DRS/HA or resources configuration, we use the cluster for the VCA mode.

  I have a reference to the host server, but I don't know what is needed for the pool of resources, given that we have not one.

  While

  cloning a virtual machine from a template, the resource pool is a required parameter.

  It specifies the resource pool that this virtual machine should be attached.

  Incase you do not have a resourcePool hierarchy, you must specify the root

  resourcePool 'Resources' as a resourcePool. It's the resourcePool

  managed your ComputeResource object. A ComputeResource always has a root

  ResourcePool associated with him.

• Good candidates for the resource pools?

  Hi, I do not currently use resource pools, but often the impression that I should watch more in him.  We have our four node 5.1 cluster 16 web servers (among others in the virtual computer) that are exactly the same and serve the same function.  I was wondering if those who would be good candidates to be added to a pool of resources, so they can take resources needed?  I tend to approve statically the RAM and CPU on these "just in case", but maybe it's stupid, if there is a better way.  Thank you.

  Also consider that if you have no compelling reason to prioritize resources for all virtual machines on one of the virtual computer, then you really don't have a reason to use the resource to all pools.  In this case, each virtual computer will be given some memory he needs on demand, DRS will balance the load between the hosts if a host is out of balance, and there will be fairness when ESXi pray return of VMs pages when there is a conflict.

• How to calculate the cpu in the resource pool

  How to calculate the cpu in the resource pool

  and don't forget that shares in pools of resources are not inherited by the virtual machines in the pools. the action is related to the pool itself.

• Understanding of the resource pools

  I thought I knew pools of resources but realize that my interpretation is wrong and despite reading the documentation and navigation

  messages on this site, I'm still confused and hoping someone can help.

  I thought that:

  1. set up a reserve of 256 MB of Ram on a pool of resources means that each virtual machine has been awarded to a minimum of 256 MB of RAM and that if this

  was not available, then the VM not illuminate.

  2. If the limit has been set to unlimited (or even a limit capped to say 90% of the available RAM) a VM would use more RAM if needed.

  3. the allocation of memory in the definition of a virtual machine in the settings was not relevant because the vm used as much ram has been defined by the resource pool.

  However, I can see my graphics that some virtual machines, while using very little memory, resemble the memory is limited.

  What I mean is that when I look at vcentre: resource - VMS-> guest mem % pool. I see a percentage high and in some cases

  the bar indicator changes from green to yellow. I do not know what threshold is reached - possibly the amount of RAM allocated to the VM in its

  configuration settigs.

  So should I do the following:

  1 build a virtual machine and to allocate as much RAM as I think that the VM needs

  2. set the memory reserve on a pool of resources as being the sum of which has been attributed to each virtual machine

  3 or the reservation to be what I think, that each virtual machine will usually use the value

  4. If done correctly, then vms uses more memory in the limits imposed.

  Is none of this?

  TAM

  1 build a virtual machine and to allocate as much RAM as I think that the VM needs

  Of course, it is better to give more ram and maybe avoid swapping

  2. set the reserve memory on a pool of resources as being the sum of what

  have been allocated to each virtual machine

  Of course, you can, it depends on if you have too many commissioning

  3 or the reservation to be what I think, that each virtual machine will usually use the value

  Resource pools have just two functions restrict or warranty. Constraint is that if you overprovised a virtual computer, you can stop hunger on the other

  VMS. Or guarantee the current host does not have enough resources both by the DRS vmotion virtual machine to another host

  4. If done correctly, then the vms uses more memory limits

  imposed.

• How to delete a resource pool that is read-only?

  An admin on my server ESXi created a pool of test resources and inadvertanly everyone gave read access only.  Now, we can not assigned VM in the resource pool or never remove it.  All admin users have only contextual menus gray when you access that resource group.

  Is there way to delete a resource group or change its permissions to access again?

  If you have not removed from the local Administrators group - you may be able to a new local user of this group and access it that way - by default from the local Administrators group is given admin access to the upper level of the inventory.

• Smart phone BlackBerry Smartphones does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Blackberry App World

  Hello

  I just all new BB Curve 8900 on Vodafone. Its the first BB I've owned and I seem to have a bit of trouble. When I try to download the App World, I get the following error message:

  "Device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Blackberry App World"

  How can this be?

  OK then... interesting for Vodafone to push support far... Well, by I guess.

  So I guess that I change their instructions... rather than to remove an installed version of the AppWorld in the way they suggest, I suggest go to:

  Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > Applications

  See if BB AppWorld is listed as installed. If so, highlight (but do not click) it and then press the BBKey and select Delete. If she wasn't there, then continue on these steps.

  Then do a batt pull reboot:

  With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes.

  Then re - activate your THS:

  Homescreen > Options > Advanced Options > host Routing Table > BBKey > sign up now

  Then re - send all the service books:

  http://www.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02830&SLIC...

  Then do another reboot batt-pop.

  Then, get a new link for AppWorld from here:

  http://NA.BlackBerry.com/eng/services/appworld/download.jsp#tab_tab_download

  And re - download and install it.

  I hope it's going to go right. If not, then it could still be useful a call to Vodafone...

• Script to replace the small caps that are typed in capital letters with capital letters (A = > a, B = > b, etc...)

  I am looking for a way to replace the small caps that are typed in capital letters by their normal equivalents.

  I have a text that contains many names that should all be set in small capitals.

  In fact, they are, but because the letters are used for the first letters that they don't fit.

  In short: I would like to be able to look for A, B, c... (in small capitals) and replace them with (a, b, c...) in small capitals only once.

  (compare two tables?-> is this possible in indesign scripting)
