• List of virtual machines in data warehouses

  Hi all

  I want to list all virtual machines in warehouses of data starting with "MDF".  I tried

  Get - VM - Datastore (Get-Datastore-name MDF *) | Select-object - property name, data store > VMplusdatastore.txt

  But it does not list the names of data store for a reason any?

  Also some VM will have records on more than a logic unit number - I suppose that it is not translated here?

  Wouldn't be better to do the opposite?

  Hi Simon,.

  the problem with your script is that the virtual computer object does not have a property data store. That is why the data column store is empty in the output. The following script will combine virtual machine names and the data store for all with names beginning with MDF data warehouses:

  Get-Datastore -Name MDF* | ForEach-Object {
    $Datastore = $_
    $Datastore | Get-VM | ForEach-Object {
      $Report = "" | Select-Object -property Name, Datastore
      $Report.Name = $_.Name
      $Report.Datastore = $Datastore.name
      $Report
    }
  } > VMplusdatastore.txt
  

  If a virtual machine disks on multiple data stores, it will display all the combinations.

• 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.

• Script to the list of virtual machines with their VMDK on warehouses of data with their LUN ID.

  Hey gang - I have one here, I wonder if anyone has some ideas...

  Our storage team is looking for a report that can be generated to display each VM, each VMDK for this virtual machine and the data store on the VMDK is the canonical name of the data store - and throw in a delimited file of semicolon for their own transformation...

  I have thousands of VMS over hundreds of hosts and data warehouses and also have a handful of RDM. so, I'm looking for the most effective way to go about it.

  Should look like this:

  VMName; VMDKName, the data store; MONDAY

  somevm; somevm.vmdk; DATASTORE1; NAA.60050723145982asd29823blahblah1

  somevm; somevm_1.vmdk; DATASTORE2; NAA.60050723145982asd29823blahblah2

  Any ideas?

  The following PowerCLI script will give you the report requested on the virtual machines and their VMDK files. It also takes account of the fact that a data store can have several extensions:

  Get-VM |
  Get-HardDisk |
  Select-Object -Property @{N="VM";E={$_.Parent}},
  @{N="VMDK";E={$_.FileName.Split('/')[1]}},
  @{N="Datastore";E={$_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')}},
  @{N="LunID";E={[string]::Join(',',((Get-Datastore $_.FileName.Split(']')[0].TrimStart('[')).Extensiondata.Info.Vmfs.Extent |
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty DiskName))}}
  

• Get the list of virtual machine names and addresses IP to a specific folder

  I am trying to get a list of virtual machine names and the IP addresses of a specific folder in vCenter. The problem is that there are several files with the same name in different folders. I need to know how to specify the level folder higher in which lies the customer10 folder. Here is an example of my current script that pulls all the info from the virtual machine of all folders named customer10:

  Get-vm-location customer10 | Select Address Name,@{N="IP." E = {@($_.guest.) (IPAddress[0])}} |
  out-file c:\VM_IP_Addresses.csv

  The PowerSHell engine is to 'know' the function before you call it.

  Save the function in a .ps1 file.

  Point source then this .ps1 file. Make sure that you are placed in the directory where the .ps1 is stored, or use the full path

  PowerCLI C:\ >. ./GetFolderByPath.ps1

  Note that there is an empty space between the 2 points!

  Now you can call the function

  PowerCLI C:\ > Get-FolderByPath-path MYDC/myFolder. Get - VM | Select the name...

• Get the list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and dumping of .csv in a specific format

  I have problems to find a way to get a list of virtual machines on an ESX host specific and then he dumped to a .csv in the following format

  I use the get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm

  but everyhting else after, it is where I am lost...  I think the closest I had been posting the output with a goofy header and format 'vm1, vm2, vm3 "...

  name

  computer 1 name

  computer 2 name

  name of the machine 3

  to use for later use.  Any help would be appreciated.

  You must use the Select-Object cmdlet to specify more precisely the properties you want.

  The Export-Csv doesn't know how to manage the virtual computer object.

  Something like that

  Get-vmhost esxhostname | Get - vm | Select name. Export Csv.\report.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture

• Script to stop and remove the list of virtual machines?

  Hello

  I would use powercli to stop and delete a list of virtual machines to a .csv file.  Although not quite clear on how to do it, can someone help out me?

  Hello, max08-

  Simply use this CSV as a list of names of virtual machine to stop and delete permanently, you can do something like:

  Import-Csv remove.csv | %{Stop-VM $_."Server Name" -Confirm:$false | Remove-VM -DeletePermanently -Confirm:$false -RunAsync}
  

  Note, it is non-interactive once you run - he doesn't want to stop the virtual machines or remove the disc, it does just.  So, make sure that the .csv file is only virtual computer names you really want to kill.

  How does do for you?

• looking for a script to the list of virtual machines by datastore

  Someone at - it a script that lists each data store, then the virtual machines that are on it. Or maybe the list all virtual machines and data store or data warehouses is located in the virtual machine?

  Thank you

  This should do the trick for you.  In fact, it extends the computer object complete virtual with a property data store so you can still search the other aspects of the virtual machine.

  Get-Datastore. WHERE-object {$_.} {Name - like "DMX *"} | {ForEach-Object

  $dsname = $_. Name

  $_ | Get - VM | {ForEach-Object

  $($_ | Add - Member MemberType NoteProperty-name of store data-value $dsname - PassThru) | Select-object Name, host, Datastore

  }

  }

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?

• How to import the list of virtual machines to complete a table in a workflow

  When you run the followingworkflow/library/vCenter/batch/run a workflow on a selection of objects

  How import you a list of virtual machines to complete the table of virtual machines?

  At this moment we are manually by selecting the virtual machines and adding them to the table individually which is very tedious. We would simply import a list.

  There is a certain ways that you can do what you're trying to do, but from your description, it looks like a wrapper will work best.  I enclose a simple workflow that loads the table from a csv file.  There is no error checking going on, but it should help you get started and you can expand on it from there.

• Create the list of virtual machines to exclude the script through .csv file?

  Hello

  I have a script that runs all day off hours to check my VMs respect some things, like having the option to 'VM tools upgrade policy' checked. The script will export a list of virtual machines that DO NOT have this option enabled and then later to fix the problem. Now, for some specific VMS, I don't want to have the option active and want to exclude them from this review. I try to add a list of these virtual machines I want to exclude from my check script of VMTools_UpgradePolicy via a .csv file containing their names. Here's what I have:

  ##############################################
  #VMTools update during the feeding cycle - report
  ##############################################
  function Report_VMTools_UpgradePolicy {}
  $list = import-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\EXCLUDE LIST\EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv".
  foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name}
  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
  $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
  }

  The content of the EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv is as follows:

  'Name '.
  "VM1.
  "VM2.

  "VM3.

  I try to get all the virtual machines in my environment who have the ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual' (unchecked), AND which do not match any of the names on my list of exclusions (VM1, VM2, VM3). My script so far will do what I want, except that only the last entry in my list of exclusions will take into account. VM1 and VM2 will still be reported as VMs that need to be addressed.

  I'm not sure that I am taking the right approach with this, I will continue to seek a solution for what I want, but any help would be appreciated! I prefer to make my list of exclusion to a separate file, for example "EXCLUDE_vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv", because I want that other administrators to be able to just open this .csv file and add virtual machines to this list without having to touch my scripts.

  Thank you!

  Vince

  Hi Vince,.

  It is like that I think because of your statement:

  foreach ($entry in $list) {$exclude = Get-VM-name $entry. Name} -> it
  $vms = get - Vm | where {$_.} Name - not $exclude - and (Get-View-Id $_.) {ID). Config.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy - eq 'manual'} | Select name
  $vms | Export-Csv "C:\VMware\PowerCLI\Scripts\REPORTS\vmtools_upgradepolicy.csv" - NoTypeInformation
  }

  $exclude is a variable that contains only 1 entry., that's why you see only the last element inside. It will not be an array.

  foreach ($entry in $list) {[string []]+ $exclude = Get-VM-name $entry.} Name}

  This will fill $exclude table with entries of string that will contain the names of virtual machine.

  And when you will be comparing. I think you should use

  where {$exclude - notcontains $_.} Name - and... the rest

  Kind regards

• Script to get 1 csv by cluster with associated information (list of virtual machines, host capacity, IOPS / s...)

  Hi all, I'm new here and it's been days I'm trying to find the right script to the list of virtual machines and related information on each cluster and get 1 csv for each individual cluster.

  Here is my code:

  Get-content C:\cl.txt | % {

  $cl = $_

  Get - VM | Select-Object @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, @{Expression = 'Host'; Label = "ESX host"}, @{Expression = "Name"; Label is "VM"},

  @{Expression = "Numcpu"; Label = 'vCPU'}, @{Expression = "MemoryGB"; Label = "RAM (GB)"}, "

  @{n = "Provisioned Volume"; e = {[math]: tour ($_.)}} (ProvisionedSpaceGB, 2)}}, @{n = "Use the Volume"; e = {[math]: tour ($_.)}} (UsedSpaceGB, 2)}},

  @{N = "Ops ARE/s/write"; E = {[math]: tour ((Get-Stat $_-stat "datastore.numberWriteAveraged.average"-en temps réel |))} Select - expand the value | measure - average). Average, 1)}},

  @{N = "Ops ARE/s/reading"; E = {[math]: tour ((Get-Stat $_-stat "datastore.numberReadAveraged.average"-en temps réel |))} Select - expand the value | measure - average). Average, 1)}} | Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture 'C:\vm_report_$cl.csv '.

  }

  Note: each csv is generated for each cluster

  CL.txt lists the clusters , but all I get is several files with the same content, and they are not properly renamed

  How can I do to generate 1 csv by cluster ?

  For example, there are 3 groups A1, A2, A3 (in file cl.txt), we get 3 csv files generated individually A1.csv, A2.csv and A3.csv and related data in them:

  A1.csv :                                                                 A2.csv :                                                                    A3.csv

  Host cluster VM RAM (GB) Cluster ESX VM RAM (GB) Cluster Host ESX VM ESX host

  A1 sx0001 su19001 4 sx0001adm 32 su1386adm su10670 A3 iu01990 A2

  Sx0001 su23000 A1 2 A2 sx0001adm su12404 32 A3 sx1385adm su10034

  Sx0002 su55000 sx0002pack sw12785 A1 2 A2 1 A3 su1384adm iu00025

  Help with this script would you gladly.

  Thank you

  Joseph.

  Judging by the timestamp, it seems that these files with spaces between the file name and file type, were made yesterday.

  This might have been one of your previous tests?

  Maybe do a series of tests of the script in an empty folder.

• Producing a list of virtual machines not in a folder

  As the subject says, we back up our virtual machines via vRanger connection based on this record, they are in inventory / models and virtual computers. To ensure the backup all VM I would generate a weekly report that lists the virtual machines that are not in a folder. I am able to produce lists of virtual machines with the code below, but that doesn't really help me. I tried to use the name instead of "nom_de_dossier" data center with no luck. Is it even possible to do?

  Get-VM -Location (Get-Folder 'foldername') | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture c:\VMInfo.csv
  

  Have you already tried that?

  Get-VM -Location (Get-Folder vm) -NoRecursion
  

  It uses the 'vm' hidden folder that contains all of the virtual machines at the root of the datacenter (s)
