• esxcli of vCO using PowerShell plugin

  Hello

  I tried to come up with a workflow to run esxicli on an ESXi host commands, I am aware of the different solutions out there including one that uses the vMA as an SSH server, but I would like to give it a try with the plugin from PowerShell. So far, I can connect the vCenter, get the crowd and not even the subject of esxcli by using different examples already on the PowerShell plugin library.

  But my problem is that after I get the object esxcli is on the PowerShellRemotePSObject format and I don't know how to work with it.

  var sess;
  try {
    sess = host.openSession()
    sess.addCommandFromString("Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction  SilentlyContinue");
    var invResult = sess.invokePipeline();
    //Show result
    System.log( invResult.getHostOutput() );
    sess.addCommandFromString('Connect-VIServer '+vcenter+' -User user@domain -Password "passw0rd" -Force');
    var invResult = sess.invokePipeline();
    //Show result
    System.log( invResult.getHostOutput() );
    // Get PowerShellRemotePSObject
    sess.addCommandFromString('Get-VMHost -Name '+esxi+' -Server '+vcenter);
    var invResult = sess.invokePipeline();
    //Show result
    System.log( invResult.getHostOutput() );
    var psObject = invResult.getResults();
    if (invResult.invocationState  == 'Failed'){
    System.error(invResult.getErrors());
    }
    else {
    var cmd = sess.addCommandFromString('Get-EsxCli')
    cmd.addParameter('Server', vcenter);
    cmd.addParameter('VMHost', psObject);
    var sessionId = sess.getSessionId();
    var esxcli = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.powershell").invokeCommand(host,sessionId);
    System.log(esxcli);
    }
  
  
  } catch ( ex ) {
    System.log (ex);
  } finally {
    if (sess) {
    host.closeSession( sess.getSessionId());
    }
  }
  
  
  

  The esxcli object is accessible as $esxcli.software.vib.list () in PowerShell I don't know how to use the PowerShellPSObject to access information or execute methods on it.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Juan.

  Hi Juan,

  I'm not sure you can call methods from PowerShellPsObjects returned by VCO.  In the meantime, they were serialzed in XML format from the PowerShell script then resérialisé in VCO.  I'm sure that you lose all methods when this happens.

  What I've done for similar purposes, use the WF model who calls a PowerShell script externally.  I put all my my logical calls and method in the external PoSH script and at the end pass back the final results to the VCO.  I'm much better with PoSH as VCO, so I put as much intelligence in the PoSH as possible.

• PowerShell Plugin only supports version 2.0 of Powershell?

  I'm looking, and it seems that the PowerShell Plugin only supports version 2.0 of Powershell.   Microsoft is currently at version 5.0.  What is the problem?  VMware has renounced this Plugin?  I'm wrong and it really supports a newer version of Powershell?

  See here: Technical preview of VMware vCenter Powershell plugin 1.0.x version

  We supported until PowerShell 4.0 since the 1.0.4 version of the plug-in

• vCO Appliance Powershell Plugin

  I set up a server of powershell using the following Web page:

  I am able to run the final winrm identify command on my desktop (no server powershell). Ute, r I get a nullpointer exception when I try to add the PowerShell host to vCO.

• PowerShell Plugin and HTTPS domain credentials

  Someone been able to make this work?

  I have configured WinRM on my powershell host and it seems to work fine.  I can connect via negotiate and kerberos very well via HTTPS w / domain credentials.  However, I can't see the powershell plugin to authenticate with a domain service account, it will only connect w / basic authentication enabled by using the local credentials to the host of powershell.

  I tried the following syntax for the username:

  User domain\username

  username@domain

  I happened to notice that I can't connect to the host PowerShell forcing basic authentication using the enter-pssession cmdlet either which brings me to the conclusion that basic authentication cannot make the domain credentials.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  > basic authentication cannot field identification information.

  Yes. The first version of the plugin supports basic authentication only and not with the credentials of domain.

  The good news is that in about 2 weeks, an update of the plugin version would be released that would provide support for kerberos.

  Thank you.

• Outline/background Style for group Plugin objects?

  So I'm working on a plugin that is based on the creation of a PluginGroup and I started with the example of the live shadows.  So far everything is fine, but if you want to change the outline/fill style of the object that has the live shadow you must undo the plugin group, adjust the style on the original path and re-apply the Drop Shadow Live.   Is there a way to avoid this step?   Can I tell illustrator this plugin group object knows the style of outline and provide a way to get/set the style of the original object contour/filling directly?

  Now it is simply the flow of very heavy workload, but in the future as my plugin group object becomes more complex and has its own data, it will be unreasonable to destroy/rebuild just to be able to adjust the width of the line.

  -Kurt

  OK, sorry. For more visit, it is true that I can adjust the news of the race for the path that my group of plugin included.  I guess the problem I have is that I can adjust the width of the line by using the options menu in the tab of the race, but the options by default (top of the screen) available for this path is no longer include the options of fill/outline.

  This makes sense; the control in the upper panel displays items based on selected art. Technically, plugin art has no border or background, because they could be literally anything.

  So I start with a path, and top included options fill, stroke, opacity, basic dimensions.   When I (as shadow) put this way under my group plugin options above reduce just the opacity and basic analytical information.   The text selection is it's a Plugin object (if I select the full path) or a path so I select that some parts of the track, but I never get the fill/outline options.

  Because I can actually adjust the options of race without undo/redo the group object (more on the tab of the stroke) and my plugin reacts correctly, I suppose that this issue went to "major problem making my unusable pluin" the "minor problem that may confuse the first time users and is mildly annoying."

  So I guess my question brought down to: is it possible that my plugin object can still get the contour/background options in the options at the top bar?  (Sorry my illustrator terminology isn't at the height...) If this is probably not the right term for this space.)

  The terminology is 'control panel' I think

  In what concerns obtaining STROKE & fill to appear up there? Its technically possible, but you should be able to talk to the Panel of control through the SDK - currently there is no header, unfortunately, to do so. I think you're out of luck, at least for the moment, unless someone from Adobe can help you. Without that there is no way to inform the control panel it must show, at least as far as I know.

  Just now, I have no idea how to debug a plugin.  I've resorted to a communication around a FILE * and fprintf'ing which, and then by looking at the file after a race.  Which is a rather painful to debug way. : b

  Debugging is not too difficult. Just make sure you point your debugger to Illustrator.exe. If you create debug versions, after that he must respect the breakpoints that you set.

  I managed to get the plugin to the top and the functioning of this morning.  (With a few bugs still in there).    Because the debugging/development cycle for the plugin was so painfully, in fact, I developed all the features for the plugin in python using pygame and some data structures that mimic the illustrator structs.  I then super fast iterative development in python and then only had to translate all this in C++ and debug some errors, I have introduced in the translation process.   Kind of crazy, but my machine that has Illustrator on it is quite slow and the illustrator of compilation-raise poke if the bowels of goat fprintf in my output file of debug cycle is super painful.  Not a good way to visually debug a ton of math difficult, etc.  The trick of python has really made a lot of fun.

  I have not worked with Python in a few years, but I really enjoyed working with her!

• PowerShell plugin 1.0.6 - How to move a SecureString vRO to host Powershell?

  I need to pass a variable value SecureString to a vRO input parameter to the Powershell host.

  I imported a powershell script using "generate script PS action". One of the variables is a securestring used for an authentication mechanism on the remote host of the PS. The value is inserted by the user when it starts the workflow in vRO (SecureString type).

  It looks like this:

  -L' user highlights a string safe in the presentation

  -the workflow is executed, and the value of the variable is used during the execution of script on the host PS

  -It must be used as System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCredential

  Edit:

  a few details. Part of the hat to check if the SQL user credentials supplied by the user can be used to connect to a database of MS SQL script:

  $SqlConnection = new-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection

  $SqlConnection.ConnectionString = "Server = $strServer; Basis of data = $dbname; »

  $SqlCredential = new-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCredential($loginAccount,$securePassword)

  $SqlConnection.Credential = $SqlCredential

  $SqlConnection.Open)

  $securePassword should be passed through vRO.

  How could I achieve this? I unserstand the SecureString of vCO must be decrypted - key which could I use? How to convert from vRO SecureString of entry so that the host PS recognizes it as such?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Well, if the account with which you have added the host of powerShell in vRO is different then the account credentials that you are using for the SQL connection, then you need credSSP.  Is it?

  Best regards

• PowerShell plugin question - dynamically create an instance of PowerShellHost in a workflow

  Hi people,

  Whoever did this for a host who has never been in the inventory of PowerShell vCO? More specifically, how Kerberos in the face of a host name which could have been created since the last time tried to Kerberos for authentication of access for?

  See you soon

  I just wanted to let anyone interested know

  I got this works in the following way in a script

  var hostConfig = new PowerShellHostConfig()

  hostConfig.name = "example";

  .

  .

  .

  .

  Download the plugin to create an instance of the host of this configuration by using the update call

  var host = PowerShellHostManager.update (hostConfig);

  If the configuration is correct, you get an instance of the valid host that you can now call commands on. Looking at the Java code for the plugin, the update method does the following

  Check the config for a host ID.

  If ID is found

  then search for this instance and return it

  on the other

  create and validate a new instance of the host for this config and returning

  There are a few side effects / traps to consider here though

  Gotcha 1.     PowerShellHostConfig has no Member for a host ID attribute if you always create a new instance using this method. New instances will appear in your inventory as of the configs duplicate with different instance ID

  Gotcha 2.     During the validation of the hostConfig during the creation of the host, a the connection test is performed using the specified configuration. In other words, you will see that recorded in the log file of the server so it will look like two connections were established in quick succession if you then an invoke on the new host

  Gotcha 3.     Because of the 1 witch hunt, you should probably do PowerShellHostManager.remove (host) at the end of your script

  Gotcha 4.     If you use 3 to clean up inventory know that if your script/workflow terminates with an error/exception then remove it might not happen. Thus, use the error handling, or finally clause in order to ensure that it is executed. Of course if the deletion up a mistake then all bets are off

  Anyway, just thought I'd share

• vCO PowerShell plugin access is denied

  Hello

  Can someone please help with a problem I'm having with vCO and the PowerShell plug-in?  I have correctly installed the plugin for the vCO PowerShell and added/checked one PS via WinRM/HTTPS/Kerberos host, configured with "Session by the user.  (I also tried "Shared Session").

  I can run scripts of PS based on this host in a workflow of vCO, as "Write-Output"... «, 'Get-ChildItem...' ", etc., and it returns the results in the workflow log.  However, if I try to run whatever it is more advanced as PowerCLI or external commands such as 'dnscmd' to create a host A record, it gives the error "failed command: ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED 5 0x5.  I ran 'whoami' leave in a script called by the PS plugin vCO and it shows the good user who has permission to run the commands.

  I ran the command locally on the host of PS using the same user account, and it completes successfully.

  Thank you, Richard

  I was able to get it this way.

  We use the vCO 5.1 device, so I have a host of windows power shell and winrm service has been activated. I configure kerberos authentication. Try to run the powershell script that is running dnscmd. So this script was running fine when we run manually, but of vCO fail with access denied.

  I made a few changes in my powershell script that helped me get through this.

  ~ CredSSP activated in the powershell hosts winrm service

  ~ In my script powershell creates a new session on the local host, even

  $session = New-PSSession-Credential $credential - authentication Credssp - ComputerName localhost

  Invoke-Command - Session $session - ScriptBlock {#Your dnscmd automation}

  ~ Its vCO as a powershell script to call in my powershell host and in the script I am session to the same machine creation and execution of my orders of dnscmd.

  ~ With this I have not any access denied exceptions. Was able to add/delete DNS records.

  Probably, there could be different ways of doing this. But it helped me.

• How to access the VC Plugin object workflow script or another Java plugin

  A: I wish I could access the object VC 4.0 Plugin from a workflow script that requires no user intervention.  I really want to access all the SdkConnection on the VC4.0 Plugin as part of an Workflow script that is called by a server init political.

  B. Alternatively or in addition, I would like to have access to the plugin VC4.0 from Java another Plugin base.

  I know that there must be a static object of VC laying around, but I can't figure out how to get a handle on it.

  Is there a workflow script for part A code snippets? As well as the Java code for part B

  Kind regards

  ~ Patrick

  Don't forget if the answers help you, award points

  Hello

  (A) you're right there is a kind of static object (called in Singleton for plugin developers). It is named VcPlugin.

  (B) is impossible to use one plugin on the other directly in Java. The workflow application / Javascript "is to allow the plug-in to communicate."

• Passage of a JAVA workflow plugin objects

  I'm trying to understand how to move objects to the Orchestrator API from JAVA code example found in the centre of Documentation VMware Vsphere 5.5 in order to run the workflow (in the end of web pages).

  Are there examples of the creation of the execution context that use object (other than 'chain') input parameters?

  For example, to enable or disable an AD, the workflow user "toggle a user" requires an input parameter of "AD: USE.  How would pass this parameter to the workflow in the line of JAVA code:

  'ExecutionContext context is new ExecutionContextBuilder () .addParam (...). Build(); »

  Scott,

  To call your workflow that has an entry of type AD: User, you do not need to instantiate an actual user object and its properties. You need to add to the execution context is an instance of SdkObject, which is a kind of "proxy" for no primitive objects coming from plug-ins (in your case, AD: use). To instantiate the SdkObject you need only an object type and an object ID.

  I don't have a job AD environment, but here's a code example illustrating how to prepare an execution context of a workflow that has an input parameter VC:Datacenter:

              SdkObject sdkObj = new SdkObject();
              sdkObj.setType("VC:Datacenter"); // in your case, the type will be "AD:User"
              sdkObj.setId("sof2-lab3-dhcp629.eng.vmware.com/datacenter-2"); // replace this with your user ID
              ExecutionContext ec = new ExecutionContextBuilder()
                  .addParam("dc", sdkObj) // replace "dc" with the name of the input parameter of type AD:User in your workflow
                  .build();
  

  For your case, you must understand how resemble the user ID. The easiest way would be to list existing users by opening the following URL in a browser (or a client of REST) and looking at the data returned:

  https://your-VCO-IP:8281 / vco/api/catalogue/AD/user

  I hope this helps.

• problem of Plugin vCO-Powershell by running a command (for members of a local administrator on a server group)

  Hello

  Tearing my hair out and looking for a little help :-)

  I have a powershell script for the verification of the members of the Local administrators on a server, and it works very well in a powershell window. (running on the server that hosts my VCO in powershell and under the registered with vCO user/account name...)  However, when I call it from a workflow of vCO it fails.

  Track down, I've isolated the code criminalized in this section:

  I provide $servername as the server to run the script against.

  
  $group = [ADSI] "" WinNT: / / $servername/administrators ' "

  $members = @($group.psbase.Invoke ("membres"))

  $results = $members | foreach {$_.} GetType(). InvokeMember("Name",'GetProperty',$null,$_,$null)}

  and the highlighted line is the specific code that fails.

  the specific error is:

  System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException: Exception calling "invoke" with "2" arguments: "the network path was not found.

  I noticed that if I replace with $servername in the 1st line with '. '. (it is run on the local server) It works very well. However, if I use the var $servername, or incorporate just a specific server name, it fails with the above error.

  Any help appreciated,

  Thanks in advance,

  John.

  There are some security restrictions applied when the power shell scripts remotely (what vCO made using the Microsoft WinRM service).

  To simulate a runtime environment similar outside the vCO, you can use "winrs" tool microsoft to call remote power shell script and check if the similar error will exist also outside the vCO.

• vCO-plugins: documentation of type object &amp; source

  Hi guys,.

  I'm new to vCO and were it testing the past few days. Powerful tool, really I have to say.

  However, there are two things I have really miss me and could not find so far:

  -Construction in the API browser is nice to find custom objects provided by the vCO Plugins, but the description of the object often doesn't have any information about the types of objects and parameters (to be precise: all possible parameters and their brands to parameter order, required / optional, parameter object types) and return types. Is there some kind of documentation showing that the available information? I use the browser API the wrong way? It is almost impossible to develop without it.

  -This brings me to my next question: are the provided plugins open source? That would make it possible to extend some of the classes as well as of course it would make possible to verify what really happens behind the scenes. I found that for some plugins, like the vCAC plugin for example, it seems to be a package open source the plugin (for example https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VCO_VCAC_PLUGIN_520 & productId = 344 ). However, during the inspection of the package I couldn't find the source files for the libraries open source used by the plugin, not the plugin sources themselves.

  My question is simple: is it possible the GET the plugins source provided?

  Thanks in advance

  Robert

  Right, I remembered supply open the powershell plugin has been discussed but did not know if this was published as the newer version does not have the included sources.

• Add the name of vRA system deployed as input to a plugin script executed of powershell vRO

  Hello

  I vRA 7 vRO workflows advertising various customization of my Windows Server guests post. I now need to configure a few groups of domains and GPOS. I have the powershell code to do this, but need to understand how I can get vRA to call a vRO workflow that then runs the powershell code based on vRA system name.

  Basically, I provide the powershell script I run with powershell plugin on my PS host deployed vRA system name.

  How can I pass this variable hostname as input in the powershell script?

  See you soon

  Fixed. Presentation does not have what I needed...

  Just added a new scriptable entity task before the Invoke and external script. This was connected to the vCACVm parameter and the scriptArgs string attribute. New release of scriptArgs was passed to the string value of Arguments in Invoke script and external.

  The only required code was in this new task scripatable.

  scriptArguments = vCACVm.vmDNSName;

  The script now has sound

  $serverName parameter that is loaded with the VM name! Yay!
