Turn computers virtual with specific notes

Greetings,

I'm trying to create script powerCLI, which feeds on virtual machines with specific notes.

For example, after disaster or maintenance, must be powered only the VM which has "HA." Is it possible to implement this using powerCLI?

I suspect that the start-VM does not crash, but the cmdlet waits for the virtual machine must be started, the Start-VM cmdlet runs by default in sync mode. In other words, it waits until the client is started.

If you prefer not to wait, you can do

Get - VM | where {$_.} Note - match 'HA'} | Start-VM-confirm: $false - RunAsync

But beware that this will create a storm of boot of VMs that can put a heavy load on your servers ESX (i).

You can combine this as follows

Get-Cluster $clustername | Get - VM | where {$_.} Note - match 'HA'} | Start-VM-confirm: $false - RunAsync

    Why gesture to turn on my trackpad behaves not as before for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

    I changed the subject: config to make the rotation gesture to move between tabs and it worked great for well over a year. It now behaves properly, as described here:

    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598

    It used to be very controllable move a tab on, now it is erratic and moves quickly and the unexpected tabs regardless of the slowness, I do the gesture of rotation. It's the main reason I use Firefox on Chrome and I will continue to do so unless there is no solution for this.

    Just put the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

  • Virtual copies are not synchronized in a second Lightroom Catalog even if the metadata are written in XMP and synchronization with the metadata has been selected

    Dear community,

    I use a Mac with 5.7 of Lightroom which is configured to store all the metadata in the xmp files. The Lightroom Catalog is stored locally on the Mac and contains only references to images and their xmp files that are stored on a network device. There is another Mac with the same setup with a local separate Lightroom Catalog and access to the same images on the network device.

    At a starting point, the two Lightroom catalogs are identical - they refer to the same images on the network device and contain the same metadata.

    When I update the properties of the image on the first Mac, these changes are reflected in the xmp file. After using the option 'synchronize' with activated "metadata synchronization" on the second Mac, the modified image properties are visible on the second Mac. It is very good.

    However, when I create a virtual copy on the first Mac, I realize that the corresponding xmp file is updated. However, even after the synchronization, the virtual copy is not visible on the second Mac. I can change the properties of the image of the original image and get these changes replicated to the second Mac, but the virtual copies remain the first Mac.

    What should I do also virtual copies get synchronized?

    Thank you very mich for your support.

    Best regards

    Peter

    However, when I create a virtual copy on the first Mac, I realize that the corresponding xmp file is updated.

    As far as I know, xmp does not contain information about the virtual copies. If this method to attempt to synchronize two catalogs will not work.

    Better you should use the file-> Export catalog on a single computer and then file-> import from another catalog on another computer.

  • VSphere 5.1: Virtual Machine does not share host RAM

    Hello

    I use a 5.1 Vsphere license (Vsphere 4 update)

    I am facing a problem after the upgrade, virtual machines do not RAM

    As if I have two machine with 2 GB of RAM in total then use of the RAM on the HOST becomes 4 GB but really active memory usage is about 1 GB only.

    It wasn't a problem in Vsphere 4 it shows an active memory as the HOST memory usage but in Vsphere 5 Virtual machine share not RAM and book full RAM when turned on.

    Maybe there's some settings to enable sharing of memory or to disable this full booking of RAM.

    Hello

    The changes are the VMkernel is using large pages to back up virtual memory pages.

    For more information, this article by Duncan will provide enough information and links to other articles on this topic:

    http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2011/01/26/re-large-pages-gabvirtualworld-frankdenneman-forbesguthrie/

    In short VMkernel will place pages issued by the VM in large pages on the physical memory to speed up the memory access. Large pages are used when the physical CPU that has functions EPT (Intel) or IVR (AMD).

  • Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

    I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

    Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

    I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    TIA!

    Katie

    To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

    Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

  • Hard to turn computer virtual by using VMWareTasks and VixCOM

    I use VMWareTasks 1.4 and 1.8 from VixCOM and I'm having to turn a virtual computer.  If I check the events for the virtual machine, I try to turn it on, I see the following error events.  The first event said 'Virtual Machine starts' and then a down said, "could not power on VM: verification of Admission of resource memory failure.  I did some research and most of the people who received this machine had very low end, you try to run several virtual machines and they had to lower the amount of resources each used VM before they could turn.  However, each guest has 16 GB of RAM with 2 image processors and it is really not a lot of virtual machine running at the moment.  Also, I can manually turn this machine with no problems.  Have someone has seen this before?

    declare a virtual host

    using (virtualHost VMWareVirtualHost = new VMWareVirtualHost())

    {

    to connect to a virtual machine to remove (VMWare ESX)

    virtualHost.ConnectToVMWareVIServer ("esx.mycompany.com", "vmuser", "password");

    Open an existing virtual machine

    using (virtualMachine VMWareVirtualMachine = virtualHost.Open ("testvm/testvm.vmx [storage]"))

    {

    power on this virtual machine

    virtualMachine.PowerOn ();

    ....

    }

    .....

    }

    VMS how you try to turn on at the same time using your program? You might be able to poweron each VM manually. But, enough resources could not use poweron multiple virtual machines simultaneously. Also, check this link . You may find it useful.

  • "the machine virtual source is not recognized" using VMWare Converter stand-alone 4.01

    All,

    Shadow protect IT edition allows us to create backups of image files from our servers. We need the ability to convert files Shadow protect (SPF) in VMWare Server 2.x. files about half of our servers do not convert. We get a message that says: "the machine virtual source is not recognized. What gives? I know image backups are fine because I tested.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    vmnoob

    We support only a few specific versions of ShadowProtect.

    > StorageCraft ShadowProtect 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2

    There may be additional restrictions when you attempt to use these types of files, such as the following from the Manual:

    1. dynamic disks are not supported.

    2. all the images in the backup of a machine must be in a single folder, without other images placed there.

    3. for incremental images, so 16 incremental backups are supported.

    4. images of systems with logical drives are not supported if the logical drive is also a system or an active volume

    5. for volume-based cloning, all volumes on the disk until the active devices and the system must be saved.

    5.1 for example, if a drive has four partitions, 1 to 4, with the partition as the active volume 2 and partition 3 as long as the system volume, the backup must include 1 to 3 partitions. (ShadowProtect only).

    Hello, I have problem with Synaptics touch pad driver version 9.1.0 (laptop Tecra A7-202).

  • Satellite R630-14 days - WLAN turn FN + F8 option does not appear

    I just got my Satellite R630-14 days with OS Win7 in German so I reinstalled the OS is in English (Win7 Ultimate).
    I installed all the drivers supplied by Toshiba (Chipset utility, value added package, WLAN Broadcom Wireless Driver, etc.), although when I press FN + F8 combination only keys to toggle the Bluetooh is available.

    Turn WLAN switch option is not displayed.
    Because of this, I can not disable the WIFI network.
    Why the WLAN switch option does not appear even after installing all the drivers?

    Hello

    What it means that all the FN keys work correctly, but only the Fn + F8 for WLan is not OK?

    Hmm I think it has something to do with the WLan driver. If the WLan driver has not been installed properly, then you will not be able to activate this using FN + F8.

    Check-> network adapters Device Manager and check if the wireless network adapter is listed correctly!

  • Recovery of the factory from 32 bit to 64 bit with the note system performance

    Recovery of the factory from 32 bit to 64 bit with the note forever system performance, it's about associated wire
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=50433
    which is closed/locked, and had no correct answer.

    I just bought a Toshiba L750. After learning of the default Windows 7 installed is Windows 32 bit, I decided to go Recovery Wizard from Toshiba upgrade to 64 - bit. However, the process is stuck to the system performance of note, that repeated several times for 2 hours.

    Given that I guessed that screen performance of system just note one full screen of a normal process of Windows, so I pressed the button Windows start to display the taskbar which showed a component of Adobe installation process has failed. In any case, I clicked on the install Adobe on the taskbar button and close the window.

    The note system performance then continued with about 10 steps ahead after 15 minutes. All well done.

    So the trick is to close a window of the installation components that get stuck. Hope this helps some Toshiba laptop users out so hard.

    A suggestion from bits to the team of Toshiba laptop:
    The full screen of the Recovery Wizard is good to hide technical details from users. However, if hang in some components, like the Adobe component I've seen, this will be confusing and advises current defects if the end-user following some in the thread above, legacy because of some missing components and the wrong configuration. It is preferable that the wizard of recovery to exit full screen at a given time, or the wizard handles error scenarios better.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook-15-p108tx: problem connecting with specific programs

    Hi, I had problems connecting with specific programs recently. I'm still able to communicate online through web browsers. Mozilla Firefox works fine, but Google Chrome still has some problems loading of specific pages or they don't load at all. The main programs I am having difficulties with are mainly games platform programs like Steam, Battle.net, and League of Legends, and I'm unable to go online or to connect to their servers.

    I never had no problem connecting like these last two years that I've owned my laptop, until recently. I think it was the 6th or 7th of may these problems started.

    I updated my drivers and was constantly check to download the most recent. I don't know if it's my internet provider, but I was also constantly check the State of the network to ensure that the services are very good.

    If anyone else has this problem and if there are any suggestions that you think could help solve this problem, it would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Jasper,.

    Thank you for the update. I think that your computer have a rootkit infection. Most of them were inside of the Chrome Extensions.

    Here's what you need to do.

    Open chrome

    Click on the Menu bar in the upper right

    Click more tools

    Click Extensions

    Please search for suspicious extensions that does not belong to the computer, especially ads. Once you identified, simply click the trash can icon then Chrome close then reopen it again to see if you can connect to your desired game. If this isn't the case, then proceed as follows.

    Manual removal of suspicious files (if you are uncomfortable with it. If this is not the case, then run System Restore from safe mode with command prompt)

    Manual removal (I miss the old days of MS virus removal )

    Go to RUN type %temp% , and then delete all folders by pressing SHIFT + DELETE

    Go to Control Panel and then locate all the apps that you think a form of ads

    Go to safe mode with network. Run Malwarebytes in that State

    Then run Tweaking tool to fix everything that has changed since your computer

    http://www.Tweaking.com/files/setups/Tweaking.com_windows_repair_aio_setup.exe

    If your not comfortable with the troubleshooting steps may perform the system restore on the day, it was working fine.

  • Looking for a screw with specific properties

    I maintain a LabVIEW project (1000 + screws), and some portions are reentrant.  I want to reduce memory footprint.  One method, that I intend to use to do this is editing VI properties for some screws I need to be able to search through all these screws to identify those who have the following set of properties VI execution:

    (1) 'Allow debugging' checked

    (2) 're-entrant execution' checked

    (3) "clone to Preallocate for each instance' selected

    Once I find these screws, then in the IA function complexity, its use, and if or not he converses with material resources or ask for input from the user, determine whether or not it is course change the properties of the VI to: disable debugging, or select 'Share the clones between instances' instead of 'Clone of Preallocate for each instance.

    The problem I have is this: How can I create a search looking for VI with specific property VI settings?

    Thank you

    Richard Ballantyne

    Here is a LabVIEW 2009 code that search in a folder or file LLB to find all the screws that match certain properties of execution of VI.
