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.htmlhttp://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}}

}

}

  • Get the data from a virtual computer store

    I'm looking to get the data from a virtual computer store, but format to be used with vmrun.  My current vmrun statement is:

    vmrun t CR h < IPAddress > https://: 443/SDK u & lt; username & gt; Pei & lt; password & gt; runProgramInGuest "[& lt;. datastorename & gt;] & lt; datastorefolder & gt; / & lt; virtualmachinename & gt;. VMX' c:\myscript.bat

    The idea is to replace & lt; datastorename & gt; given with the name of the LUN that is running on a virtual machine.  In this case, I'm running my statement vmrun from inside a script PowerCLI.  I can use a variables powerCLI, if the vmrun instruction can take and use all escape sequences are needed to adapt the format vmrun to this argument.

    That is right.

  • 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 find out really currently used physical memory and swap space of hard disk to the virtual computer running?

    Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.

    First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?

    Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.

    *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

    How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

    The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

    *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

    Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.

    How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

    Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.

    The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.

  • How to get the Mac address of a virtual machine?

    Hello world...

    I need help to get the MAC address of a virtual computer, I'm stuck in it.

    Please reply if anyone know solutions.

    Thank you

    Mahesh Thawari

    Here's a vSphere SDK for Perl script that extracts the MAC addresses for all your virtual machines - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10490

    You should be able to take it and translate it into any language vSphere SDK you plan to use. Basically you'll be listing through virtual hardware for the virtual machine to search for devices of type VirtualEthernetCard and then retrieve the MAC address of each device.

  • The use of Get - view instead of Get - VM for the advanced settings of a virtual computer

    I have a question in relation to the advanced settings of a virtual machine and using Get - view instead of Get - VM for this particular case:

    Get - VM * | Get-AdvancedSetting - name "scsi * sharing | Select the entity, Name, Value

    My idea is to use:

    Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine. Where {-not $_.} Config.Template} | Where {$_.} {Advanced.Setting - eq ' scsi * sharing "} | Select the entity, Name, Value

    but as far as I can see there is nothing for the advanced configuration of 'VirtualMachine' here: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.powercli.cmdletref.doc%2FVirtualMachine.htm

    I also took a quick glance at https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.vm.ConfigSpec.html , but I can't figure out how to use "extraConfig"in the script PowerCLI to extract this particular information for "Sharing of SCSI".»

    There is information how to use the API to add or change a computer virtual here .vmx file key advances: http://blogs.vmware.com/PowerCLI/2008/09/changing-vmx-fi.html but it is not clear to me how to use it just to extract information without changing what.

    Try like this

    foreach ($vm in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine - property Name, Config.ExtraConfig - filter @{'Config.Template ' =' False'})) {}

    $vm. Config.ExtraConfig | where {$_.} Key - like "{scsi * sharing '} |"

    Select @{N = "VM"; E = {$vm. Name}},@{N='Template'; E = {$vm. Config.Template}}, Key, Value

    }

  • Filtering problem by vm properties obtained using get-display, instead of get - vm

    Hello world.  I have a script which allows to obtain a certain number of properties different vm through get - view.  I would get out the information in different html pages, but encounter problems of filtering.

    for example, I have the powerstate for vm I can view by typing $vm.runtime.powerstate, and I would like to filter by only of the virtual machine that are turned on.  In the previous scripts, I used where {$_.} PowerState - 'Receiving' eq} to list only power on vm.  This doesn't seem to work, and I think that its because previously I got information using get - vm, not get - see.

    How can I filter the information that I have so that it shows only powered on vm? using get - vm I could use the following...

    $PRDVMTools = $DatacenterTmp | where {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor" - and $_. ToolsStatus - don't "toolsOk" - and $_. ToolsStatus - don't "toolsOld"} | Tri-objet

    ToolsVersion

    $PRDVMTools | ConvertTo-html-property VMName, OS, ToolsStatus, ToolsVersion. Out-file - add $htmlPRDVMTools

    I can't work out how to do it using the properties returned by using get - view instead of get - vm

    any help would be appreciated more

    Thank you

    I checked the script more in detail and I found two things that I don't understand:

    1. you seem to be an iteration through data centers, hosts, and virtual machines. Why recover you clusters?

    2. Why do you have so many properties of the virtual machine in the $row variable, if you save only 6 of them in the HTML file?

    I enclose the updated the script I did according to my understanding of what you are trying to do. You can optimize it more if you specify the properties of the specific vm you want to recover with the parameter of Get - view property on line 34.

  • 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, Andre-

    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?
