The use of Get - view instead of Get - VM for the advanced settings of a virtual computer

I have a question in relation to the advanced settings of a virtual machine and using Get - view instead of Get - VM for this particular case:

Get - VM * | Get-AdvancedSetting - name "scsi * sharing | Select the entity, Name, Value

My idea is to use:

Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine. Where {-not $_.} Config.Template} | Where {$_.} {Advanced.Setting - eq ' scsi * sharing "} | Select the entity, Name, Value

but as far as I can see there is nothing for the advanced configuration of 'VirtualMachine' here: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.powercli.cmdletref.doc%2FVirtualMachine.htm

I also took a quick glance at https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.vm.ConfigSpec.html , but I can't figure out how to use "extraConfig"in the script PowerCLI to extract this particular information for "Sharing of SCSI".»

There is information how to use the API to add or change a computer virtual here .vmx file key advances: http://blogs.vmware.com/PowerCLI/2008/09/changing-vmx-fi.html but it is not clear to me how to use it just to extract information without changing what.

Try like this

foreach ($vm in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine - property Name, Config.ExtraConfig - filter @{'Config.Template ' =' False'})) {}

$vm. Config.ExtraConfig | where {$_.} Key - like "{scsi * sharing '} |"

Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},@{N='Template'; E = {$vm. Config.Template}}, Key, Value

}

  • Get the content of the field "Annotation" of a virtual computer

    I can get the content of the field "Annotation" in the tab "Summary" of a virtual computer using the .notes property.

    Think the contents of the field as:

    First line

    Second line

    Fourth line

    Fifth line

    In this case, the .notes property returns a single string.

    Looking inside the string I get I see the contents of the first line, a HEX '0A' character, the content of the second line, another character HEX '0A' and so on.

    How can I get the content of each individual line?

    Concerning

    Marius

    One solution is to cut the string as = $b $a.Split([char]0x0a)

    Then read the lines simple as $b.item (n) beginning with index 0. $b.count returns the number of lines.

    Thank you once again for youy help

    Thaose temperatures very well. Does not even begin to worry until you start to see time @140 degrees F.

    That's well below Tj Max.

    I used to use centigrade. If the temperature is close to that you certainly can't expect much better than this.

  • Is it possible for HA / VMotion to migrate a virtual computer when the fiber of SAN connectivity is lost / Cup?

    Use: Version ESX 4 / vCenter4

    I have a cluster with ESX 4 nodes running HA. I want to know if it is possible for vmotion to migrate a virtual computer if the host on which it lives has a loss of fiber optic connectivity to SAN/back-end storage. I can get VMotion to work when I go unplug the Ethernet cable to the back of the esx host, but when I unplug the fiber connections that will freeze the virtual machine and no migration will happen. Is it possible to do this with VMotion HA? I also tried to use aggressive DRS to see if when I unplug the fiber it lose connectivity and a loss of memory or cpu and migrate... so not happened... the vm always reports to vCenter that memory and cpu have not changed... then DRS don't not kick to migrate the virtual machine.

    Thank you.

    There is no such thing for HA. HA only fires when there is a host or a network isolation fails. DRS also does not realize this. However, there are a lot of events that can trigger an action such as "maintenance mode". don't know if there is a for the failures of way, just check it out. It is described in the following pdf document: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_admin_guide.pdf

  • Increase the disk space on a virtual computer which was extracted

    I have my computer running virtual Windows 7 checked. I then checked back in the VM. I need to increase disk space on drive C (the winSxS directory seems to never stop growing). But there is a snapshot on the disc 'View Local Mode of instantaneous anchorage'. What are the consequences of the removal of the snapshot myself in order to increase the size of the disk? Throw this out of sync between my laptop and the virtual computer and require all of ~ 30 GB to download again?

    Hello
    If a replication extracted from a desktop computer, a snapshot of the local desktop is created and then the changes are replicated with the data center.
    If you delete the snapshot, you ensure that you validate the changes.  This force probably allows you to download all of the Office during the next Check-Out operation.

    Hi VanNessaMcGuire,

    What is the exact message that you receive?

    The message your description is very similar to what you would get with a fake software security also known as "scareware".  It is a program that appears to be beneficial from a security perspective, but provides little or no security, generates erroneous or misleading alerts, or trying to attract users to participate in fraudulent transactions.

    Please read the following article for more details:

  • Cannot expand the hard drive of a virtual computer that is a linked clone.

    I have a virtual machine that is a linked another clone.

    I did a lot of development and changes to the linked clone, and now ran out of disk space.

    Now I want to extend the drive, but I get this error:

    "Disks of virtual machines that are linked clones cannot be extended.

    So I then try to extend the drive of the virtual machine that he was cloned from:

    "Disks of VMS with snapshots cannot be extended. You must delete the snapshots or use VMWare vcenter converter. »

    What can I do? If I remove the snapshots of the original machine, do not lose the 'link' to the linked clone? What he suggested that I use the "VMWare vcenter converter" for?

    Does anyone have a solution?

    Kind regards

    Create a complete clone of the virtual machine in the current state. Which can be extended.

  • Pass the 3.5 to 4 virtual computer

    Can anyone suggest an effective method for 3.5-4 VM?

    Vcenter v2.5.0 with ESX 3.5 on a Windows 2003 server, I am able to "Take inventory", but when I try to add another ESX 4.0 host, I get the error "Validation does not apply this time. Also I am not able to create a new virtual machine and use the existing hard drive hard file.

    The CPU, network and storage of data are the same.

    I can export the virtual machine to the virtual server Center 3.5 on the server for vSphere 4.0, but this requires rewriting the same data store, which is a huge waste of time when I'm remaining on the same data store. Can anyone suggest a procedure to follow for 3.5-4 VM? Thanks,-Jeff

    Your best approach would be to use VMware Converter.  Your problem is that you have vCenter 2.5, and who cannot manage the 4.0 host.

  • Movement of data warehouses from the local storage to SAN virtual computer

    Hello

    I have a few VMs that must be moved on our SAN, they are on an ESX 3.5 stand-alone server.

    It seems that the best way to proceed would be to:

    1. turn off the VMs system.

    2. copy and paste all of their files on the SAN data store configuration.

    3. right click on the vmx files, add them to the ESX cluster.

    4. create a new ID when asked.

    5. turn on them and let it run.

    Am I missing tips here? In this way, I still have the original VMs back if something breaks down - they will have a new ID created and if all goes wrong, I can just stop them and the power on the 'old'.

    Any help/advice appreciated as (as always) here are important to keep servers to work correctly!

    Thnaks for the answers, I'll flat some points a bit.

    The reason why I want to do with a copy/paste is to keep the original files intact, if I vMotion them, I won't have the originals are I'm going?

    Stand alone ESX server is a different model, etc. to the cluster, so I don't think I can add in?

    Bascially, I need to be 100% sure that I can get these servers if something happens on copy - and I have thin, that my method is what?

    Yes, when you svMotion them, you can move them.

    You can add any model of a server to a cluster. What might not work is vMotion one guest from one host to another if the CPU do not match.

    If you want to keep the original files, copy them.
