• Error trying to create multiple linked clones

  Hi all

  I have another question from script to this that attempts to create multiple linked clones.  I get the error message "Wait task: the object has no associated provider.» (see below under the results section).  Just need to know why this happens, but I'm new to PowerCLI.

  SCRIPT;

  $vm = get - VM 'test ' | Get-View

  $clonePrefix = "testclone".

  $numClones = 2

  $concurrentClones = 2

  $cloneFolder = $vm.parent

  $cloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec

  $cloneSpec.Snapshot = $vm. Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot

  $cloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

  $cloneSpec.Location.DiskMoveType = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions]: createNewChildDiskBacking

  #To of power on each clone immediately after its creation:

  #$cloneSpec.powerOn = $true

  $i = 1

  While ($i - the $numClones) {}

  $taskViewArray = @)

  foreach ($j in 1.. $concurrentClones) {}

  $taskViewArray += $vm. CloneVM_Task ($clonePrefix, $cloneFolder, $cloneSpec + $i)

  $i ++

  }

  $taskArray = $taskViewArray | Get-VIObjectByVIView

  You try to mix two different things here.

  The CloneVM_Task call you is a method of the API in the SDK and it returns an SDK task object.

  This task SDK object is not the same object as that returned by the RunAsync switch on several PowerCLI cmdlets.

  The Wait-job cmdlet waits an object returned by the RunAsync switch.

  You can use the task the UpdateProgress method on the object of the SDK in a loop.

  And wait for the news. Condition of the property on the Task SDK object turns into success or error.

• Add annotations when you create a linked clone

  Hi all

  I am currently struggling with a script that should be able to add an annotation to a clone linked after its creation. To create a linked clone, I use the vmlinkedclone.pl script (source here: http://pastie.org/5114877 ), with a bit of modification to my needs feet. On the other hand, I have a script that writes an annotation on a specified, virtual computer writedescription.pl (source here: http://pastie.org/5114881)

  Now the problem is that my script that write annotations on a specified, virtual computer takes the name of the virtual machine as a parameter, I want to avoid. So, what I want to do is to "mix" my vmlinkedclone script and my writedescription script, so I can dynamically add an annotation after creating a clone (the annotation is a parameter in the script).

  However, as you can see on my writedescription script, I'm working on a view of a virtual machine, while on my vmlinkedclone script, I have no opinion on the clone, I have yet nothing about it, read the 250 on the vmlinkedclone pastie line. So my question is fairly simple: how could I get a view of my newly created clone, so I can easily fit my other script to add an annotation to the clone via the vm_id parameter?

  Thank you very much

  It actually returns the new ManagedObjectReference of VM, you must call get_view() on it to get the actual VM and its properties.

  Take a look at the quick example I have attached.  It shows how to retrieve and convert the result of ManagedObjectReference with CloneVM_Task() and CloneVM() in a VirtualMachine entity.

  $ perl CloneVMExample.pl--username=administrator@vlab--server = 172.16.254.50 - password = VMware1! -vmname = SourceVM - dcname = DC01

  New machine virtual 'CloneVM () - Test' cloned successfully at CloneVM().

  CloneVM_Task() completed successfully.

  New machine virtual 'CloneVM_Task () - Test' cloned successfully at CloneVM_Task().

• Bug trying to create the link with the Cyrillic characters in URL

  I'm transforming words in my text on the links, but with Cyrillic characters in their URL (such as https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ хорошо). The problem is that, depending on how create the link, the page refuses to accept the URL.

  It's my preferred method (which accepts not the Pages):

  1. Write or select the text to be transformed into link;
  2. Press cmd + k;
  3. Paste the URL (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ хорошо) in the field;
  4. Hit enter or click out;
  5. When I check the link, it is www.apple.com.

  The strange is that other methods work very well.

  1 against nature (accepts Pages):

  1. Delete my word;
  2. In its place, paste the URL (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ хорошо);
  3. Hit the space bar (a link is created automatically with the correct URL);
  4. Edit the link that is created and change its text;
  5. When I check the link, he kept correct.

  2 against nature (accepts Pages):

  1. Write or select the text to be transformed into link;
  2. Press cmd + k;
  3. Find a way to build a version with my URL (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D1%85%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%BE) escape sequence;
  4. Paste the URL with escape sequence in link field;
  5. Hit enter or click out;
  6. When I check the link, ironically, is хорошо https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/.

  To stretch more:

  1. Editing a link created successfully (with any success methods above);
  2. Changed its URL (from хорошо https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ to https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ плохо)
  3. Hit enter or click out;
  4. When I check the link, it's still хорошо https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/;
  5. Finally edited and changed its URL still once, now remove the Cyrillic (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki);
  6. Press enter, click out and he finally accepted the URL.

  Pages seems to be denying the creation of links with the URL that contains Cyrillic characters (only?), but exclusively through his little creation of link popup. I think it's a simple problem, but I'm sure it's very annoying.

  Everyone knows the same?

  Cyrillic characters in the range of table encoding UTF-8 code points u + 0400 - u + 04 FF are represented by two bytes. These people must be encoded as a percentage (read the two paragraphs of the current standard of article), as the Pages v5.6.2 will convert automatically URI to this encoding for you in the link Inspector. It will simply ignore what it considers incorrect URI links, they are Cyrillic, or even English.

  Use what is easier for you, and that Pages v5.6.2 accepts.

• Creation of seSparseFormat linked clones?

  Have someone tried to create clones of seSparseFormat bound using vCO 5.1?

  I followed the instructions in the blog of William Lam to virtuallyGhetto: creating SE Sparse Linked Clones to help API vSphere 5.1 but when I run my workflow vCenter Server responds "delta 'seSparseFormat' specified disc format is not supported."

  Source VM does not seSparseFormat VMDK, it is with the thin material virtual disk normal v9 with active snapshot, even if VM cbrc active digest.

  This is quick and dirty code I test with at the moment.

  var drive = new VcVirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator();

  Disk.datastore = data store;

  disk.diskId = 2000;

  disk.diskMoveType = "createNewChildDiskBacking";

  disk.diskBackingInfo = new VcVirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo();

  disk.diskBackingInfo.fileName = "[" + datastore.name + "]" + vmName + ' / ' + vmName + "hard."

  disk.diskBackingInfo.diskMode = "persistent".

  disk.diskBackingInfo.deltaDiskFormat = "seSparseFormat";

  var diskLocator = new Array();

  diskLocator.push (disk);

  relocateSpec = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec").getRelocateSpec (diskLocator, host, resourcePool, transform data store);

  I missed something or seSparseFormat has been disabled in vCenter Server 5.1 patch 1 API?

  I removed the digest of the CBRC and active all my test VM snapshots and now I can create SE linked clone rare fine with this code. If the problem was with the virtual machine, not with the API or vCO.

• Graphical support for linked clones

  I would use linked clones in order to improve the commissioning of virtual servers that share large amounts of common data. I have the budget for upgrading vSphere and/or purchase additional software, and I tried to ask the VMware sales people to get advice on what products would allow management of related clones. The saleswoman, I spoke with possibly suggested vCenter Server v5. My company already uses v4, and I see nothing in it for me to create a linked clone. Maybe it's a new feature in v5, but it is not mentioned in the list of the new features. I think that the seller was probably misinformed about this possibility.

  Does anyone have experience create clones related with a graphical management interface? If so, what is the combination of products VMware would be optimal to allow clones related to a small environment (e.g. 2 physical hosts)?

  If you want to use linked clones, right now your options are to use vCloud Director or VMware View.  There is no support of base level for the creation of a clone that is bound in the GUI (just support of the API for it).

• SYSPREP for windows 7 64 bit linked clone pool

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up a cloning pool of VMWare View related with desktop windows 7 64 bit, but I'm having a problem with the sysprep command.

  Maybe I did something wrong in the process.

  Here's what I did:

  * installed Captain VM

  -> install a new windows 7 VM 64 bit VM (Ultimate Edition)

  -> tools VM installed in the virtual machine

  -> installed the agent of the view in the virtual machine

  -> the master VM has added to the domain active directory

  -> power off of the master computer virtual

  -> taken a snapshot of the master computer virtual

  * Make the necessary prepearations ActiveDirectory

  (creation of the organizational unit, etc.).

  * enabled View Composer in view administrator

  * created the linked clone pool:

  --> in vCenter settings, I chose the parent VM

  + its snapshot

  -> I also published the snapshot to the forwarding server

  -> in comments customization settings.

  I chose the sysprep method

  -> 2 windows 7 syspreps were awailable to choice:

  'WIN7SP01' and 'WIN7SP1 '.

  -> I tried the procedure at a time

  Added some rights for some users to

  the linked clone pool

  All the steps of the pool of linked clone in view administrator configuration worked without errors, the linked clone pool has been created successfully.

  THE PROBLEM:

  When I try to connect to the clone related with the Client view, pool

  It gives me the following error:

  "This Office has currently no sources of funds available, please try to connect to this desktop computer later or contact your system administrator."

  When I watch the console of all (10) desktop virtual machines in the vCenter.

  I see the following error message as a popup on each of them:

  "Windows could not parse or process the answer without assistance for pass file [specialize]."
  

  "The settings specified in the answer file not applicable."
  

  "The error was found during the processing of the component parameters [Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup]"

  No idea what I'm doing wrong here?

  The 2 syspreps that I could choose when creating pool related, "WIN7SP01" and "WIN7SP1."

  were there to choose just like that, I've never done anything to create, is this normal?

  If Yes, what is the difference between WIN7SP01' and 'WIN7SP1 '?

  any ideas?

  "I've seen this before and I will say it was because of some kind of defective license referred to in the specifications of customization, which in your case would be WIN7SP01 ' and 'WIN7SP1.   These are not created by the sight and were probably created by the person who manages the vCenter instance because that is where they are stored.   I would check that the license specified with these customizations key are the correct keys to use with WIndows 7 X 64 machines.

• Linked Clone - need a how to.

  To be at the front, I have never tried this product until now. I was able to follow the procedures in the guide of evaluators found here: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-View4-Evaluators-Guide.pdf?source=web & cd = 1 & ved = 0CBQQFjAA & url = https :// www.vmware.com/go/view4evalguide & rct = j & q = % 20view % 204% 20evaluation % 20guide vmware & ei = pSQhTJDFNJCMnQe4rZhR & usg = AFQjCNGjtWI690tG9MfR-13xp7nf0mLFCw

  Now, I was able to get a virtual desktop connection (individual Desktop) and now I'm on page 36, try the linked clone. Screenshots don't coincide with what I get on some images. On Page 36, he says the following...

  First create the 10 office pools linked Clone and go through the same new process to create the complete clone - only without checking the checkbox highlighted.

  But I have not yet created a linked clone how to 10?

  Someone at - it an idiots guide on the implementation of the related clones? I'm just using the trial. I don't know if there's a limitation then if there are, please let me know.

  Thanks in advance.

  The parameters of quickprocess is the part of the process that makes the unique clone and he joined the field.   You must specify a user account with permissions to join computers in your domain.

  The script of post box where you can specify scripts to run against the clone, once it is built.

  The area of the OU gives you the ability to specify that an OU in Active Directory for the virtual computer is to create in.

  The exception is you say the problem: the user you are using to create the DB link doesn't have the necessary privileges to create the DB link type you are trying to create. Privileges are required on the source and target databases.

  When repost you, you will need to provide:

  1. your full 4 DB for DBs source and target text segment

  2. a copy OF the sql * plus (or other) session you use to create the DB link

  3. information on the user that you use to create the link DB - including the privileges that have been granted to this ulser

• Linked clone is not the deletion of the Horizon view administrator

  I am trying to remove a linked clone (and pool that linked clone). However, he advised that is the removal of more than 12 hours. I think that the problem is that someone has tried to connect to this virtual machine before fully completing commissioning. The only other VM in the pool view Horizon has deleted without argument. Is there another way to remove this virtual machine?

  See you soon

  

  Hello

  Please find the following article to remove orphan console machines manager view. It will be useful.

• ESXi 3.5 U4 - linked Clone... is it still possible?

  Dear all,

  I have been using ESXi 3.5 (free license) for some time and use the script of "linked clone" available here: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9202 I understand numerous messages on these forums that VMware have now patched/fixed for access in RCLI writing ability and so the script above no longer works. While it is an understandable gesture of VMware to protect its products, cause us me some questions that I really consider to create a linked clone and therefore very quickly deploy a new virtual machine.

  From my own research, I have a workaround, (its not terrible but works), essentially the following script available here http://engineering.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware/ (note not my work) run a clone linked in a few steps (note brief simplified presentation):

  (1) copy the .vmx config files and the master VM .vmxf to the new location.

  (2) change the new configuration .vmx file to point to the virtual hard disk to the VM master.

  (3) save the new virtual machine (essentially adding to the inventory of ESXi).

  (4) create a snapshot (using the new configuration .vmx file), thus creating a new virtual hard disk to store the changes (or differences).

  Personally, I think the author of the script deserves a lot of credit because the technique is very neat.

  In ESXi 3.5 U4 functions within the RCLI used to perform steps 3 and 4 are no longer available because they require write access. My solution is to run steps 1 and 2 of the script (as before) followed by using the VIX API to register the virtual machine and create a snapshot. This work, however, does not require a running two separate programs. When I looked at using the VIX API, I noticed a function called "VixVM_Clone" which is able to create full clones and related first of all clones, but guess what - Yes it's true that this is not supported in ESX or ESXi.  Note here the VIX API support matrix: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vix-api/vix16_reference/supportMatrix.html

  I hope that work around it above will help others and please if anyone has a better solution, perhaps they would be kind enough to post...

  Yes, the two linked Clones script always works. Scripts do not use the VI API, but the Service Console on ESX classic, and the console Busybox not supported for ESXi, where he won't suffer by the fix introduced with ESXi 3.5u4. This is also true for ESX and ESXi 4.0, a small minor fix will have to turn off checking with vmware - v version has changed slightly with its output, but the fundamentals of the script is exactly the same and still works.

  Glad you're enjoying the script

• create a link to a bookmark in another pdf file

  Hello

  I'm trying to create a link to a bookmark in another pdf file.  I was reading online on this subject and I found, you can create named destinations, but it only seems to work when the files are on a Web server.

  I tried this link: document1.pdf #nameddest = section 2 but does not work.

  My files will be on a network drive.

  Is anyway to do this with files located on a network drive?

  Thanks in advance!

  What you're talking to are the "parameters for opening PDF.

  This is the documentation:

  http://wwwimages.Adobe.com/www.Adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/DevNet/Acrobat/PDFs/pdf_open _parameters_v9.pdf

  Open settings can be useful if the files are in the Web space and accessible via the browser.

  There are other methods to get PDFs in space network to "talk" to each who have greater efficiency.

  Be well...

• How to create a link to download a .psd or .eps file

  I'm trying to create a link to a file for a user to download .psd. Whenever I have a link to the .psd file, Dreamweaver wants to convert into a JPEG file. Is there a way to post a link to a .psd file to create the user to download this file? I am currently having files that retain the original Photoshop elements (layers, channels, etc.) used to create the file. I want to do the same thing with .eps files, but who have not tried yet. Any thoughts?

• Create database link between two databases?

  Hi all
  
  Can someone tell me how to do?
  
  I have two databases in oracle 9i: 'mydb' & 'mydb1 '.
  
  mydb contains a table 'tab1' with a single domain (of the int data type) and mydb1 contains a table "tab2" with two fields (int, char).
  
  I tried to do this:
  
  System is one of the usernames and another username is olapsys
  Manager is the password of the system, and olapsys got the password = myolapsys
  
  I tried to create a link, but it gave me an error:
  
  CREATE DATABASE LINK mylink access the system identified by the Manager using "mydb.tab12";
  
  then I tried running this query in olapsys:
  
  Select * from tab12@mylink;
  
  Error:
  ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name
  
  Help, please.
  
  Thank you and best regards,
  
  Lucky

  CREATE DATABASE LINK mylink to connect to the system identified by the Manager using "local service alias ';

  where local service alias is the name of the local service that you configured in the tnsnames.ora to connect to mydb1.
