The list of the snapshot active virtual machines

In our environment, we will automation upgrade to new versions of the tests. I need regularly to ensure that virtual machines are running with a snapshot taken at the same time (via PowerCLI, we use the same description).

In other words, is there a way to retrieve the current name of the active snapshot for all virtual machines?

With the help of:

Get-resourcepool 'MyResPool ' | Get - vm | Get-snapshot | Select @{Name = 'The virtual computer name';  Expression = {$_.} UMM name}}, created, name, description. Tri-objet created. Format-Table-auto

Don't highlight that one is active.

A snapshot IsCurrent property tells you if a snapshot is updated. I modified your script to display only active snapshots:

Get-ResourcePool "MyResPool" | `
Get-VM | `
Get-Snapshot | `
Where-Object {$_.IsCurrent} | `
Select @{Name="VM Name";Expression={$_.VM.Name}},Created,Name,Description | `
Sort-Object -Property Created | `
Format-Table -AutoSize

Best regards, Robert

  • Windows activation on the development of virtual machines

    I'm in my projects and software services provider, we have 50 odd VMs where I do the test for the integration of the software product to my customer. Came out to be very expensive to manage a huge active virtual machines with OS field. We need to test it with say Win 732 bit with IE9, Win 7 64 bit with IE 9 and Win 7 64 bit with IE 10, IE 11 and Windows 8, 8.1 and so on.  What Microsoft suggests in this case. This isn't production environment, whether for QA. Please notify

    You must invest a MSDN subscription and use the license of Windows 7 Enterprise included with it, available in 32 and 64 bit. It allows up to 1 500 activations I think.

    Records are a method of setting permissions in VMware vCenter. They form a triage unit and behave as a logical separation. When you first add the hosts to vCenter and you have all the files, there will be a default folder created for you as Richardsonporto mentioned.

    Later, you can create new folders and separate the virtual machine by drag-and - drop of their.

  • Report on the ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster

    We started to evaluate Foglight for capacity planning and evaluation. One of the reports that I believe is interested in our leadership is the "ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster" report. I see that the report provides a value for the VMS remaining. I would like to learn a little more about this value and how is it calculated:

    1. What exactly a 'virtual machine' represents in these reports?
    2. Can a similar report to run using a specific type of server based on the allocation of resources or patterned after an existing VM wokload?

    We are a small, medium and large VM offering based on the allocation of resources. I would like to change the report to display the number of each type of virtual machine I have available... or pointer pointing to an existing virtual machine, and according to its resources and workload, determine how this server, I have available.

    It is based on the average size of the virtual machine in the cluster.  If you look at the dashboard of capacity management in the user interface, it can give you more details by cluster.  It is based on the average of the use of min/max/AVG across all virtual machines in a period given (usually 90 days).  This can not be changed today, but there is work to allow lets you specify a size of slot for something as small, medium, large, etc...

    This feature exists in the Foglight for virtualization, however Standard Edition.  It might be interesting to watch this, if you need it sooner.

  • Report on the number of virtual machines by datastore

    Hello

    I use vFoglight 6.6.2. I try to have a report generated every week that contains the number of virtual machines running in the data store. But I don't know how to create a table of edge/report for these details.

    request for expert assistance.

    The following query gives you so all virtual machines on the specified data store

    Using the following mandatory input parameters:

    {VMWDatastore}: type foglight - 5:VMWDatastore

    Select objects of type Machine virtual VMware in parameter {VMWDatastore}

  • The substitution of parameters of the device when the cloning of virtual machines?

    Hello

    I'm trying to find out how I can substitute the disk space for a HARD drive or the network for an adapter in the cloning of virtual machines.
    I thought it should be in the VirtualMachineCloneSpec, but it doesn't seem to be an option for him. I forgot something?

    Thanks in advance.

    So it turns out that the code was perfectly fine, the problem is that in my lab I have always tried setting disk space on something weaker than what it was before that does not work.

    Thought, after verification of the documentation for Set-disc hard, as I wanted reconstruct this cmdlet to see what he's doing: Set - hard - drive vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets reference

  • Definition of reserves on the running JAVA Virtual machines

    I recently came across an overview of VMware performance that had a page essentially recommending reservations memory setting for the running Java virtual machines (see table). We have Java environments and did not have performance problems or complaints so, I doubt that I would implement any changes. However, I am curious to know if it's even a better practical recommendation, I could not put the date on the document so I wanted to see if someone had updated or current information for vSphere 4.X, 5.X environments.

    In General, we only use reservations memory to avoid the overhead administrative and operational increased. If we have never not a necessity, I prefer to use reservations to pool resources rather than granular level VM reservations.

    In my opinion, if you use the reservations are a regularity no exception in your environment, then you can use these rules.  That said, if you don't have no problem, I wouldn't change anything.  I've also linked a new document below.

    The steps are correct. The virtual machine must be turned off (step 3).

  • Difference between the hosts and virtual machines

    Happy new year!

    I guess that's a stupid question, but I don't know the answer to it.

    I created pools from VM. Some jobs in the pool are hosts and some virtual machines. What is the difference between the hosts and virtual machines. I thought I could only create virtual machines, but I guess I could create hosts as well. -What happened?

    Thanks for your help.

    where does say desktops are hosts?  A host is usually referring to an ESXi server.  A virtual machine is just the guest OS running on the host computer.  A pool is a group of VMs that can extend over several hosts.

  • Can I access the guest from the server OS (virtual machine)?

    Hi all

    Can I access the guest from the server OS (virtual machine)? I mean, I would also like to start and discovers a guest OS (VM) directly in the server as in VMware Server 2.0. I would also like to see the graphic on the server management console to manage virtual machines.

    Or do I always have at least two computers? For example, the server ESXi without GUI / frontend access and the client with vCenter, vInfrastructure, blah-blah-blah,...?

    Thanks for the replies!

    You will need the Client or another tool for access (RDP, SSH) a machine separate. ESXi is a very tiny BONES.
