total vm host running and availability with get-view

Ways to find "on the virtual machine host total running" & availability with get-view, get-view gives the boot time, but no availability, we convert the startup time of availability?

Hello, esxi1979-

You can use something like:

Get-View -ViewType HostSystem -Property name,Runtime.BootTime,Vm | Select name,    @{n="NumVM"; e={$_.Vm.Count}},    @{n="Uptime"; e={New-TimeSpan -Start $_.Runtime.BootTime}}

The Uptime property is a Timespan object. How does do for you?

How to read the VM ProvisionedSpaceGB and UsedSpaceGB using get - view?

Hello
I would like to retrieve the properties of the VM ProvisionedSpaceGB and UsedSpaceGB using get - view and not get - vm.
How do I do that?
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards
André

Hello, Andr e-

You can retrieve some properties of an object view VirtualMachine and then do some computed properties, such as:
```
## get the View object of this VM, with a choice few properties (faster), then select some info about the objectGet-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Name" = "^myVM0$"} -Property Name,Summary.Storage |    Select Name,        @{n="ProvisionedSpaceGB"; e={($_.Summary.Storage.Committed + $_.Summary.Storage.Uncommitted) / 1GB}},        @{n="UsedSpaceGB"; e={$_.Summary.Storage.Committed / 1GB}}
```
To just get these some properties in the call to Get-view is the smaller memory usage in the PowerShell session and much higher speed during the extraction of the View object (without specifying properties to retrieve, the cmdlet returns all properties). How does do for you?

Getting the data center of VirtualMachine with Get-View information

Hello
Y at - it a faster way to get the name of data using Get-View and the viewtype VirtualMachine Center.
I found the following:
```
Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -filter @{ "name" = "mtl1fsit02" } | Select-Object -Property Name, 
@{ Label = "GuestOSName"; Expression = { $_.summary.guest.guestfullname } }, 
@{ Label = "Datacenter"; Expression = { (Get-view (Get-View (Get-view $_.parent).parent).Parent).name } }
```
Thank you guys

I think that the property calculated for the data center does not work in all situations.

It assumes that your virtual machines are 3 levels down from the data center, which is not always the case.

I personally use a loop, passing up through the parents, until he finds an object data center.

something like that

@{N = 'Center'; E = {}

$parentObj = get-view $_. Parent

While ($parentObj - isnot [VMware.Vim.Datacenter]({))

$parentObj = get-view $parentObj.Parent

}

$parentObj.Name

}

with Get-VIew-filter

How can I search a host using its MoRef, code below does not work:
Get-view viewtype - HostSystem-filter @ {"HostId"="host-139"}

Luke,

I was referring to the construction of the ManagedObjectReferen object.

I wonder why you can not use the MoRef property. Maybe it's a bug.

Can I use other moref properties, but NOT the property of MoRef

The following example works:

$v = get-view - ViewType virtualmachine-filter @{"runtime.host"="" ^ $host-2116 "}

This wil return all virtual machines from the host-2116. The porperty runtime.host is of type ManagedObjectReference.

Help with Get - view in a subset of clusters

I'm getting to do a get-view command that limit the selection based on a subset of the clusters. I can easily do for objects of the VM, but when I use the same order type of the display does not work. Can anyone suggest a way to work for it. Here's the code that can better describe what I do:
------# Get VMs in the subset of the clusters * it works
$Subset = 'Group 2', ' group 4 ", «group 6"»
$VM = get-Cluster $Subset | Get - VM | Name sort
------# Get VM in the subset of the clusters * it does not work
$Subset = 'Group 2', ' group 4 ", «group 6"»
$VMView = get-Cluster $Subset | Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine
Thanks in advance,
-Earl

Hi Earl,

The problem is that the cmdlet Get-View is not the - rental setting that is implicit, used by the Get - VM cmdlet in the pipeline to filter on clusters. You can change your code in the following way to get all views of the virtual machine to the specified cluster:
```
$Subset = "Cluster2","Cluster 4","Cluster 6"
$VMView = Get-Cluster $Subset | Get-VM | Get-View
```

PowerCLI defining politics NTP to "Start and stop with the host" in ESXi 5

Would appreciate any help in the definition of the strategy NTP on ESXi 5 hosts 'start and stop with the host. My script is currently using the following:
Get-VMHost MyEsx | Get-VMHostService | where {$_.} Key - eq 'ntpd'} | Game-VMHostService-policy "automatic."
This sets up the NTP service in "start automatically if all ports are open and stop when all ports are closed.
"When I cange to 'MyEsx Get-VMHost | Get-VMHostService | where {$_.} Key - eq 'ntpd'} | Game-VMHostService-political ' market / stop with host"" the following is returned:
«The possible enumeration values are "auto, On, Off«»»»
Anyone know of a way (in PowerCLI) of the set up for the 'start and stop with host?

OK, then you should choose politics "on".

These are the policy values and what they match.

Like this
```
Get-VMHost MyEsx | Get-VMHostService | where {$_.Key -eq "ntpd"} | Set-VMHostService -Policy On
```

ESXi host running 6 VCSA disconnected from the vCenter

Hi guys,.
I have a weird problem with my vCenter build 6. Single cluster of ESXi hosts. Running VCSA 6.0 and 6.0 ESXI. Making a storage of the vCenter vMotion initially got stuck at 77% and the ESXi host running the disconnected from vCenter vCenter. But I can connect directly to the ESXi host with vsphere client and see the vCenter VM works perfectly well. If I try to manually connect host ESXi and vCenter, I get the error "Failed to contact the host specified") both are in the same subnet and VLAN. I can migrate to other virtual machines without problem. I even restarted the host and yet I am not able to connect to vCenter. The host connects to vCenter if I reboot vCenter, but after a few minutes, disconnects again (even if no task does run on this topic.) I have no HA or DRS enabled at this point that I build this new environment and only presented a single LUN as a store of test data to the cluster.
Any ideas?

OK, I think I fixed that or have at least a work around. So the underlying question was hiding ID mode/CPU EVC. I'm under the cluster to a level of EVC to reduce until I have migrate workloads from old environment and I think that this created a problem for the unit vCenter. To resolve this problem, I turned off the unit, directly connected to the ESXi host that had the camera running, edited the virtual machine and reset the masking of CPUID. Also, I've hidden the flag NX/XD of the guest. It's temporary (I hope) as once I increase the EVC to the Haswell, I will expose the NX/XD comments and test. For the moment, it is of the workaround I did. It may be of some use to someone.

HA Admission Control and DPM with clusters with 3 and 2 guests

Hello world
I have two clusters, with 3 hosts first and second with 2 hosts. And I have a few questions about the activation of DPM:
1. 3 HA/DRS cluster hosts, I activated the admission control to the percentage of cluster resources reserved as failover alternative DART at 33%. Because I have no VM on this cluster, when I enabled DPM he put 2 hosts in standby mode. And now when I powered on any virtual machine on this cluster I get error "the operation is not allowed in the current state. It is possible that when I disable the admission control - but then I lose protection HA. So in Group 3 knots I would always have 2 guests under tension when strict admission control VMware HA is enabled? It is possible that if in DPM options I disabled power on 2 hosts management. Am I wrong? And DPM set power switch my third host (for example brings leaves host standby mode to keep the needs of failover)?
2. Cluster of 2 guests when I activate CAC (50%) Should I disable DMP, because I still have 2 powered on the hosts?
1 HA/DRS + DPM you 1 single host standby because HA need 2 host be powered.

2. no DPM in two Cluster nodes if HA is enabled.

Ask the operation slow with large SGA and fast with little CMS

Hello
We have a situation where one of the insert is running slow and fast QA in PROD. Both are the same versions of database - Oracle 10.2.0.4 on HP Unix 11.31. To avoid the cause of databases running on another server, we copied from our Production database to the same server where the QA database is running and began with init.ora PROD that has 7 GB 6 GB SGA_TARGET and SGA_MAX_SIZE. For the QA database, SGA_MAX_SIZE is 700 MB and SGA_TARGET is 600 MB. Both are running on the same server, and with the same data. We have refreshed QA with data from PROD. If we start with PROD init.ora QA database, QA also behaves the same way PROD.
This problem is only with the specific insert. Here is the result of this specific statement tkprof. Can someone please interpret this for me? I am poor in SQL tuning :-( Why the statement behaves ODD with the size of the SGA PROD? Generally, we would think THAT larger SGA should give better performance.

Option 1:

You run with two different ORACLE_HOMEs - that is potentially two different copies of the Oracle executable to the patch different sets?

Option 2:

A change of size of SGA is unlikely to directly affect the execution plan, but it also has change the size of the PGA TOUR at the same time? A change in the pga_aggregate_target could affect the choice of the mechanism of the join optimizer. (But not to change an in a join; but hash semi-join to nested loop is possible).

Possibility 3:

The db_file_multiblock_read_count leaves then the size that oracle defines by default depends on the db_cache_size divided by process; so, if you have reduced the sga_target_size you (implicitly or explicitly, no doubt) reduced the db_cache_size, and if you don't reduce the process in the same way, then the default db_file_multiblock_read_count been reduced. What you did on your system stats, this could change the cost of (for example) full tablescans, which could lead to a change in execution plan.

It would be useful to see the results of a call to explain the plan / dbms_xplan.display in both cases so that we can see the variation in estimates of Oracle.

Use get - view to get the host data center

Hey guys,.
I'm trying to shoot the host number of name and the version with get-view.
I got to that, but I also want to get the data center that host belongs to.
How can I get that advice please, don't have Googling has not helped a lot.
Thank you
RJ

With the ExtensionData property we have access to the object VirtualMachine .

Most of the managed objects vSphere has a property, called Parent, which points to the object that is connected to our object (the ' mother' in other words).

The content of the Parent property is a MoRef (pointer). To get the real object, we use the cmdlet Get-view with this MoRef.

We repeat this process in a while loop until the parent object is an object of data center .

It's a bit like the structure of the tree in the vSphere Client.

You start with the ESX (i) server and back up in the tree until you encounter a data center.

Get - VM to Get-View - viewtype VirtualMachine

We want to replace our Get-VM with Get-View-viewtype VirtualMachine function, because it is a faster method.
But for some reason, the output is not the same.
You expect that they return both the same VirtualMachine object.
Out with Get - VM:
Name, PowerState, NUM CPUs, MemoryGB
Out with Get-View - viewtype VirtualMachine:
Capacity, Config, layout, LAyoutEx, storage,... all the VMware.Vim.VirtualMachine object.
Our methods:
$Hosts = get-VMsByLocation-site $Location
$VMs = @)
$Hosts | {ForEach}
(A) $VMs += Get - VM $_
(B) $VMs += Get-view -ViewType VirtualMachine - filter @{'Name' = $_}
}

Hello, tendonsie-

Yes, you are right: If you change the type of object that you are using, and then later call what's going used probably not work with .

However, another part of the power of Get - view: you have direct access to a representation of the object "full" vSphere - the View .NET VirtualMachine object, in this case. So, you do no need another call to get the CpuReservationMhz - you can get it directly from the object VirtualMachine who have already recovered you. An example of include these goods in the output (based on the example I gave first):
```
Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Runtime.PowerState,Config.Hardware,Config.CpuAllocation.Reservation | Select-Object Name,    @{n="PowerState"; e={$_.Runtime.PowerState}},    @{n="NumCPU"; e={$_.Config.Hardware.NumCPU}},    @{n="MemoryGB"; e={$_.Config.Hardware.MemoryMB / 1KB}},    @{n="CpuReservationMhz"; e={$_.Config.CpuAllocation.Reservation}}
```
You see the additional calculated property, CpuReservationMhz, here. Now you don't need even have call the Get-VMResourceConfiguration cmdlet.

Thus, work comes to discover what are the properties of the View .NET object that you have recovered. And this work is supported by the vSphere API documentation, a link that is available to VMware vSphere Web Services SDK Documentation. How is that?

Get-View for VMS in subfolders

Hello community
I need the list of all the virtual machines in a specific folder, including subfolders.
In fact, I use the following script
```
$vms = Get-Folder "VDI" | Get-VM | Where-Object {$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOff"}

foreach($line in ($vms | Get-Random -Count 20) ) { 
    if($line.PowerState -eq "PoweredOff") {
        $line | Start-VM -RunAsync | Out-Null
    }
}
```
The script runs periodically, and it will take more than 30 seconds to over 2000 virtual machines I want to speed up with Get - view. I've already tried it, but unfortunately it does not list the virtual machines of the subfolders.
Someone at - it an idea how to solve this problem?

You can try like this

$folderName = "VDI".

$folder = get-View - ViewType property file-name - filter @{'Name' = $folderName} | Select MoRef - ExpandProperty

Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine - SearchRoot $folder |

Select name

Using Get - view instead of Get - VM for BusSharingMode from a virtual computer

Yet again, another issue was with Get - view. I searched a lot of documentation, but still I don't get the logic how to find good properties that I need to use.
In this case, I need to transfer this one:

Get - VM | Get-SCSI controller. Where-Object {$_.} BusSharingMode - eq ˜Physical"} | Select {$_.} Parent.Name}, BusSharingMode

in:

Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-Property Name,Config.NameofthePropertyforBusSharingMode

I will be grateful if someone could provide a documentation (or at least give me an idea what to read to get oriented) on these properties and their format so that they can be used to Get-View.
The closest thing I found is this one: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.VirtualMachine.html and the VirtualMachineConfigInfo: http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.html http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.html
I guess that in this case, we are talking about VirtualHardware (SCSI controller): http://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.VirtualHardware.html and still I cannot establish the connection.

It is all documented in the VMware vSphere QAnywhere, but as the title suggests, this is a reference.

The vSphere Web Services SDK Programming Guide is intendedas a learning guide.

Only no VMware book that explains a bit more on the vSphere API and objects is the book of Steve Jin, called VMware VI and vSphere SDK: management of VMware Infrastructure and vSphere

It is written for Java developers, but it explains the basic concepts.

In this specific question, you must know that all devices connected to a virtual computer is located in Config.Hardware.Device.

It is a loop through the devices and extract the virtual SCSI controllers, also with bus physics active sharing.

Once you have, it's simple extract properties.

foreach ($vm in Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine - Name property, Config.Hardware.Device) {}

$scsi = $vm. Config.Hardware.Device | where {$_-is [VMware.Vim.VirtualSCSIController] - and $_.} SharedBus - eq "physicalSharing"}

{if ($SCSI)}

$scsi | Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},

@{N = "Controller"; E={$_. DeviceInfo.Label}},

@{N = "BusSharingMode"; E={$_. SharedBus}}

}

}
