• Using PowerCLI 5.5 instead of 5.0

  CPO 3.1

  PowerCLI 5.5

  CPO seems to use PowerCLI 5.0 by default and cannot be changed I would say.

  I'm working on automation for VDS (virtual switches distributed) and the built in VMware adapter is somewhat limited in this Department as I was trying to use PowerCLI, but even basic commands in 5.5, such as Get-VDSwitch are "not recognized as cmdlets' in my process of CPO where the same functions in my console PowerCLI command I use for testing.

  So am I correct my observation that CPO by default even when 5.0 5.5 PowerCLI is installed? Is there a way to change this? Is there a place to download an upgraded version of the adapter for VMware?

  Lots of error: the PowerCLI script execution succeeded, but returned the following errors:
  The term 'Get-VDSwitch' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or an executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path has been included, make sure the path is correct, and then try again.

  5.5 PowerCLI console load this snap-in to start the console.  This new component snap (comes with PowerCLI 5.5) did not exist when the activity was written.  Thus, it is not responsible for activity.  Maybe we can improve the activity in order to allow users to specify plug-in extra so that it loads. :)

• Using PowerCLI to recover the capacity of volume comments data

  I am using PowerCLI to declare on the volume letter and free space associated with a guest computer.  I am currently addressing this problem through the extensiondata of the VM guest and then placing the properties I want in a PSObject.

  The question that I am running is that numeric values keep coming up as zero when it is inside the loop for, although they correctly resolve by themselves.  One thing I found interesting was these two upcoming properties like "System.Nullable [long"] when executing GetType(), but I don't know if that is related to the question.

  I found several ways to do it using powershell commands, but I want to know if I can do it using powercli.

  Thank you

  If you have installed on the virtual machines VMware tools, you can use the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet to run a script PowerShell inside the guest OS.

  $vm = get-VM-name MyVM

  $cmd = "get-Service WinRM name.

• Using PowerCLI update CMDB

  I need a guide on how to use PowerCLI to update my CMDB.  For example:

  -J' I create a Virtual Machine in vCenter

  CMDB - one yet knows about this

  -J' have the VMname, IP address, OS vCenter with powerCLI type (this part is easy)

  Then I go and use the same script to hit the API of a commonly used CMDB and update the CMDB.

  Is there a guide for general how to do this or a script example of someone who did it?

  Thank you!

  For example, I use a simple real method:

  Every night a script is on demand making it an export of the vCenters with relevant information, CPU, memory, StorageSpace, etc. VMname.

  It is exported to a CSV file to a shared location.

  Every night he runs a CMDB solution, importing the CSV file and editing the right values. I don't know the name of solutions. Try to understand how you can modify / add CMDB items in your first CMDB software, from there you can begin to build your script to get the relevant information in the right format so your CMDB can add it.

• Migration of vm to another folder using powercli

  Hi guys,.

  I'm migrating some hosts between 2 different virtual centers and will have all the entrants of the virtual machine on the new virtual Center placed by default in the folder "Discovered virtual machine."  I'm trying to use powercli to move the virtual machine linux to a specific folder and windows of the virtual machine to a different folder.  However, I was unable to do so and was hoping that someone here can help.  I am new to using powercli.  Here is what I tried:

  Get-Datacenter "XXX" | Get folder "Discovered virtual machine | Get - vm | Where-Object {$_.} PowerState - eq "Receptor"} | Get-vmguest | Where-Object {$_.} {OSFullName-like "* Linux *"} | Move-VM-Destination 'Linux '.

  Looks like that move-vm does not like the input it receives from get-vmguest.  However, it is as the input to get - vm, but I can't seem to get a list of virtual machines linux just by using the get - vm command.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

• Determine the use of vCPU using PowerCLI

  Is there a way to determine how many vCPUs uses makes it a virtual machine using PowerCLI?  For example, suppose you try to size just your virtual machines with powerCLI.  If the virtual machine uses several threads, it can use the multiple vCPUs.  If it is mono-thread, it can only use one vCPU even if she has a high workload.  You can determine what virtual machines have multiple vCPUs but use less than they are allocated?

  As much as I know there is no meter that indicates if a core is used or not.

  What you could do, is the use of the CPU, and then check if the assigned processors are required.

  For example, suppose that the average CPU usage is 25%, and the maximum is 50%.

  If this VM has 4 processors assigned, you may deduct 2 CPUs would be sufficient.

  But this isn't an accurate calculation.

  Once you lower the processors assigned to the virtual machine, you will need to see if there's an obvious increase of the ready time.

• Way to the commands per second using PowerCLI

  You can use powerCLI for average orders per second of a virtual machine on a historical period in the same way, as you can with cpu.usagemhz.average?

  Just to clarify:

  Does

  datastore.numberreadaveraged.Average

  give me information on the entire data store connected to the virtual machine? Or is information specific to just the VM I comment on?

  (In this case, I'm eager to get all the IOPs for all all of the virtual disks connected to a specific virtual machine)

  It gives you the IOPS / s specific to entire virtual machine and not the data store.

  Also - I'm the zeros for my data when I launch the present.  I see in vSphere client commands per second only to the data in real time, not for the last day, week or year.  Is it because of my level settings statistics?

  Yes, vCenter 5.0 and place unfortunately don't collect statistics of e/s long term on a per-VM level more.

  However, you can still add these values to return to lower levels of statistics as described in this article:

• Automatic creation of pools (linked Clone) using powerCLI

  Hello

  I am using powerCLI to create automatic pool (linked clone). I came across the following cmdlet in theVMware powershell integration white paper:

  Get-ViewVC - serverName < IP/domain FULL name >. Add-AutomaticLinkedClonePool-pool_id

  TestAutomaticLinkedClonePool - namePrefix pad - parentVMPath / < Center > < parentVM > /vm/

  -parentSnapshotPath / < cliché - > vmFolderPath / < Center > /vm - resourcePoolPath

  / /host/ < Center > < ESX > / resources - dataStoreSpecs / < Center > /host/ < ESX > / < datastore >

  -composer_ad_id < id ad composer >

  Now, I want to help discover (with an example will be very useful) how you specify and how find you each of the following (as what do I put after each other):

  -parentVMPath

  -parentSnapshotPath

  -vmFolderPath

  -resourcePoolPath

  -dataStoreSpecs

  -composer_ad_id

  Please give an example of each if possible.

  Thank you!

  OK, I'll give it a try.

  The parentVMPath parameter expects the path to the virtual machine that you want to spawn the pool (obviously).

  Such a path looks like this: / MyDC/vm/MyVM

  Where MyDC is the datacentername, the vm folder is hidden folder that contains the hierarchy of models and virtual computers, and finally the name of the virtual machine itself.

  If your master VM is deeper in the structure of folders, just add the folders in the path.

  Ex: / MyDC/vm/Folder1/Folder2/MyVM

  The parentSnapshotPath is similar to the previous setting, but obviously needs to point to the snapshot pool should clone.

  Alan has a nice feature to recover the snapshotpath Updateand re-view pools calm.

  The vmFolderPath is where the virtual machines that are created for the pool to be stored.

  Similar to the previous settings, but now for the record once again.

  Ex: / MyDC/vm/PoolFolder

  resourcePoolPath must point to a resourcepool.

  Such a path will look something like this: / MyDC/host/MyCluster/Resources/MyResourcePool

  Note that host and resources are again hidden folders!

  datastoreSpecs: this is not the most obvious.

  He wants the full path to a data store in a cluster that is specified by a resource pool.

  See the function VVGetDatastorePath to determine the paths to vSphere Datastore objects

  The composer_ad_id wants that the ID of the AD domain, in which the composer is a member server.

  You can get this through to: ComposerDomain-Get | select composer_ad_id

  
  

  As side note, take a look at the Integration of PowerShell with view 5.0 white paper. Perhaps, it is not intended for the latest version of the view

  but he explains some settings a lot better than I could
