• need to reconfigure the virtual computer after deployment of the vm

  Hi all

  I have a script to deploy a computer virtual to a CSV file. I need to change the configuration of virtual machine (CPU and memory) after the deployment of the vm. where the name of the virtual machine should be taken to csv. So any help is appreciated.

  Attach the script used. (downloaded and works fine)

  $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template

  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  New-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - VMHost - $VMHost model $Template - $Datastore - Datastore RunAsync

  }

  # This cmd need to run after the vm deployment completed. The virtual computer name must come from the 1 column of the CSV file

  Set-VM $vmname - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

  Write-Host "All VMs deployed" - ForegroundColor Green

  Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

  CSV file looks like this

  Name, host datastore, Template, customizing

  Test-VM,vm-dep-test,ESX02,P5-vm-stage,vm-deploy

  Thanks in advance...

  A simpler, but not optimal, solution is to use the Wait-job cmdlet.

  Something like that

  $vms = import-CSV D:\vm-deploy\vm-deploy.csv

  $tasks = @)

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template

  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host

  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore

  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  $tasks += new-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - model $Template - VMHost $VMHost '

  Data - $Datastore - RunAsync store

  }

  Waiting-task-task $tasks

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $vm.name set-VM - NumCpu 2 - MemoryGB 5 - confirm: $false

  }

• Script to rename the virtual computer by name DNS listed in VC

  I am very new to powershell, and I tried to understand this by using pieces of code I found, but nothing helped.

  I'm looking for a script to take the given DNS host name for a virtual machine listed in VCenter and rename the virtual computer.

  For example.

  Host01VM01 (as shown in Vcenter) - the DNS name of the "something.xyz.com".   VM and rename it "something.xyz.com" in Vcenter.

  To run the script only for a group called "Mycluster" you can do:

  Get-Cluster "My Cluster" | Get-VM | `
  Where-Object { $_.Guest.HostName } | `
  ForEach-Object { Set-VM -VM $_ -Name $_.Guest.HostName -Confirm:$false }
  

  This script will only work for VMS that have installed VMware tools and probably only for VM which are turned on.

• Get the name of the cluster which is on a virtual machine by using the virtual machine name

  Hello

  I wrote a code to get the various bits of information about our machines virtual for use in the capacity planning, we have 5 virtual centers, each has at least two clusters.

  My code already gets a handle to the virtual computer object (using the code snippet below) I can get the hostname.  Is there anyway to determine which cluster this host resides on, for example, is there a property of the virtual computer object that can be used to get this info?

  Public Sub connectVC()

  {

  string URI = " " https:// "+ Server +" / sdk "; "

  customer. Connect (Uri);

  customer. Login (username, password);

  }

  Public Sub get_vms()

  {

  NameValueCollection filter = new NameValueCollection();

  filter. Add ("name", "^ wks");

  IList & lt; EntityViewBase & gt; vmList = customer. FindEntityViews (typeof (VirtualMachine), null, filter, null);

  foreach (VirtualMachine vm in vmList)

  {

  "Do things

  }

  Thank you

  Take a look at this Perl script that gets what you are looking for, you may need to translate this into another language if you are not using Perl bindings: whichClusterIsMyVMIn.pl - Find that your VM clustered belongs (requires a vCenter)

• After the Virtual Machine is hot migrated lose the reference to the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine)

  Hello

  In my VB.Net application, I retrieve the virtual computer object (VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine) through scripting Powershell VI.

  If the Virtual Machine is migrated to another host (hotmigrate) I receive an event (VMware.Vim.VmMigratedEvent), which also holds the moref of the Virtual Machine. I tried to use the updateview method to refresh the virtual computer object but failed with an error message stating that the object could not be found, or never existed.

  I also tried to recover the virtual computer object again, throug the method Client.GetView and the moref returned by the event, but the same error message.

  How can I get my hands on the virtual computer object or update after migration to another host takes place. I have to get it back again? It would be great if I could do it somhow with information from moref I hold the event!

  Any help is appreciated!

  Concerning

  Manfred

  Sorry, but I can only show you how to do this in PowerShell.

  I use the purpose of the task to get to the prompt MoRef.

  Here's how:

  $vmName = 
  $tgtHost = 
  $tgtPool = 
  
  $vm = Get-VM $vmName | Get-View
  $poolMoRef = (Get-ResourcePool $tgtPool | Get-View).MoRef
  $esxMoRef = (Get-VMHost $tgtHost | Get-View).MoRef
  
  $task= Get-View ($vm.MigrateVM_Task($poolMoRef, $esxMoRef, "lowPriority", "poweredOn"))
  
  while($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queuing"){
    $task.UpdateViewData()
  }
  
  $vmImpl = Get-VIObjectByVIView -MORef $task.Info.Entity
  

  I don't know how you get at the VmMigratedEvent event, but the MoRef in there is pointing to the correct prompt.

  In the following script, I extracted all the events related to the task of vMigrate immediately after the vMigrate task finished

  function Print-VmName{
       param($event)
  
       $MoRef = New-Object VMware.Vim.ManagedObjectReference
       $MoRef.Type = $event.vm.vm.type
       $MoRef.Value = $event.vm.vm.Value
       $vm = Get-View $MoRef
       Write-Host $vm.Name
  }
  
  $events = Get-VIEvent -Start (Get-Date).addminutes(-15)
  $events | % {
       $event = $_
       $eventType = $_.GetType().Name
       switch ($eventType){
            "VmMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "VmEmigratingEvent"{
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "VmBeingHotMigratedEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
            "TaskEvent" {
                 $eventType
                 Print-VmName $event
            }
       }

• Get the IP address of the virtual computer? (when no DNS available)

  I have a strange setup where I have a server vCenter runs in a private network that has no DNS available IN-HOUSE.  I am running the scripts that query an IP address range, but takes forever to run.  I can run get - vm and get all virtual machines, but can't do anything with them because there is no DNS and I can't find a way to enter the IP address of the virtual computer.  If I could get the IP addresses I could then run functions against them.  If it makes a difference those VMS have two network cards: Public and private.  Any ideas?

  The Get - VM cmdlet returns the IP addresses to the title of Guest.IPAddress count of the first IP address use as well:

  Get-VM |Where {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn" } |foreach { Write "$($_.Name) has an IPAddress of $($_.Guest.IPAddress[0])" }

• How to get the client computer name database?

  Hiya
  
  As part of the authentication of the user of our application, the requirement is that if a user is connected from a machine, the same connection of can not the user to different machines at the same time.
  
  In Forms6i, we had accomplished this by using the following query:
  
  Select the Terminal
  Session $ v
  Where username = v_username
  And v_terminal terminal <>;
  
  Where
  v_username = USER-> Oracle Forms reserve Word
  v_terminal = Client_Win_API_Environment.Get_Windows_Username
  
  In Forms 6i, the column Terminal of V$ Session used to return the name of the local client computer.
  
  However, in the form of 10g, it returns the name of the computer on which Oracle Application Server is installed, which seems correct to me.
  
  So my question is how do we get the client computer name of the database in the context of Oracle's 10g? Is there another package of database or view/table that returns the client computer name?
  
  Your suggestions/comments will be much appreciated.
  
  See you soon
  
  Mayur

  We have implemented the same exact requirement to retrieve the IP address of the client (WebUtil provides a function for this) and write it in the field v$ session.action (this can be done using the dbms_application_info package DB). We are so in shape 10g v assessment $session.action instead of v$ session.terminal.

• Is it possible I can get the virtual computer connectivity after restart to connect to the local network in the host operating system?

  Hi all

  For some reason, I have to disable and then enable the LAN connection in the host operating system. If some virtual machines are running during this time, connectivity all VMs for out-of-world are lost, they cannot connect to the host even more (by running the ping command). I tried a few methods to retrieve the connectivity, but all have failed, for example,

  1. reboot the virtual computer

  2. restart VMware Workstation

  3. restart the corresponding system services in the host operating system

  The only way I can retrieve all is to restart the host operating system itself.

  Yes, is there short any path, I can retrieve the connectivity of these virtual machines?

  Thanks in advance.

  Try installing a newer driver.  According to the site, you should be able to find a driver dated 2008 or 2007 (depending on which exact model of NetLink card you have):

  Sometimes out of some firewall programs is not enough (they keep still themselves installed in the network of the host stack, even if they are 'closed').  You may need to uninstall to make sure that it is not interfere.  (Search the forums for support for your firewall software see if anyone else is having problems with vmware and 360 safe guard).

• Move-vm can migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  When I try to move-vm has propelled off VM to a destination of DRS cluster, he says that he cannot migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster.   I can explicitly name the destination of the host and it works, but that defeats the purpose of using the DRS and forces me to script on the destination hosts.

  I do something wrong or I would be able to migrate a powered off the virtual computer to a DRS cluster?

  Thank you

  -MattG

  Hello, MattG-

  I get the same behavior as you when you try to move a VM PoweredOff to a DRS cluster, specifying the cluster as the value for the parameter - Destination to Move-VM (using PowerCLI v5.1 Rel 2 v5.5 Rel 1).  Not quite what I expected.

  To work around the problem, and without having to appoint a particular host as destination, you could use some Get-Random, do something like:

  Move-VM myVM0 -Destination (Get-Cluster myDestDRSCluster | Get-VMHost | ?{$_.State -eq "Connected"} | Get-Random) -RunAsync
  

  Who should receive the machine said cluster and on a host that is in the connected state.  A subsequent operation to the market (whenever do you eventually) should then see DRS power on the virtual machine on a suitable host in the cluster.

  Maybe the dev team can comment if this behavior is the expected or desired.

  Anyway, how does do for you?

• How can I type of NETWORK adapter in the virtual computer a vCloud?

• Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

  I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

  (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

  (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

  (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

  4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

  (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

  They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

  If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

  We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

  Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

• Should I apply the different computer names to my Win7 32-bit and 64-bit installations?

  I have Win7 Pro x 64 (64-bit) retail installed on my first hard drive and Win7 Pro x 86 (32 bit) OEM on my second hard drive (such as insurance, in the case that some of my programs and games do not run in Win7 64 bit).  At the beginning of each installation, Win7 request your screen name and the computer name.

  Given that the two Win7s are installed in the same machine, and I have another hard drive as my Backup Master, should I give my Win7s the different computer names?  I think I have to, because I think I run the risk of my backup of 64 - bit crushing my 32-bit backup and my 32-bit crushing my 64-bit support. whenever I run a backup of a BONE followed by another...

  If you have both installed on separate partitions/hard disks, they are considered separate or computers, facilities so yes, both must have unique names.

• Reload the Configuration of the virtual computer after changing the VMX file

  Hello

  If I make changes to a file on a virtual machine's .vmx in vCenter 5.5 is automatically valid configuration for the engine power vm off? I made some changes earlier and it seemed to be the case, but one of the steps that I see in some of the documents is to reload the configuration of the vm, so it can be used appropriately. So this happens automatically or not?
