• How to use PowerCLI to activate the function VM NPIV and config setting?

  Hi all:

  I'm having a problem on PowerCLI.

  Can I use PowerCLI for NPIV to the VM config?

  OK, I see. This is possible with the operator "set".

  Note that the script must convert the hexadecimal number WWN in a 64-bit decimal number.

  $vmName = "MyVM"
  $nodeWWN = "28:2b:00:0c:29:00:00:07"
  $portWWN = "28:2b:00:0c:29:00:00:08"
  
  # Convert WWN string to 64-bit number
  $nodeWWN64 = [int64]("0x" + $nodeWWN.Replace(":",""))
  $portWWN64 = [int64]("0x" + $portWWN.Replace(":",""))
  
  # Activate NPIV
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $spec.NpivDesiredNodeWwns = 0
  $spec.NpivDesiredPortWwns = 0
  $spec.NpivTemporaryDisabled = $false
  $spec.NpivWorldWideNameOp = "set"
  $spec.NpivPortWorldWideName = @($portWWN64)
  $spec.NpivNodeWorldWideName = @($nodeWWN64)
  
  $vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  $vm.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($spec)
  

  You can use the cmdlet New - hard drive to attach a disc RDM. Make sure to specify a type of "gross" on the parameter - DiskType.

  You ID LUN with the parameter - DeviceName.

• using powercli to control the limit disk IOPS / s

  Hey there, I need to limit the OPS are / s of the drives connected to my virtual machines via powercli.

  I use the following command:

  Get - VM "vm_name" | Get-VMResourceConfiguration | Game-VMResourceconfiguration-DiskResourceConfiguration - configuration DiskLimitIOPerSecond 100

  But it gives an error:

  Game-VMResourceConfiguration: cannot bind parameter 'Configuration '. Could not convert the value of 'DiskResourceConfiguration' to type 'System.String '.
  ' of type 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.VM.VMResourceConfiguration'.
  On line: 1 char: 86
  + Get - VM $vm | Get-VMResourceConfiguration | Game-VMResourceconfiguration-configuration < < < < DiskResourceConfiguration - 10 DiskLimitIOPerSecond
  0
  + CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (:)) [game-VMResourceConfiguration], ParameterBindingException)
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.SetVMResourceConfiguration

  Can someone please suggest me where wrong me?

  Try it like this

  foreach($group in (Import-Csv C:\vmiopslimit.csv -UseCulture | Group-Object -Property vmName)){
    $vm = Get-VM -Name $group.Name  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec  $vm.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device |  where {$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualDisk]} | %{
      $dev = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec    $dev.Operation = "edit"    $dev.Device = $_    $label = $_.DeviceInfo.Label    $dev.Device.StorageIOAllocation.Limit = $group.Group | where {$_.Harddisk -eq $label} | Select -ExpandProperty IOPSLimit    $spec.DeviceChange += $dev  }
    $vm.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task($spec)
  }
  

  The CSV file should look like this

  "vmName", "hard disk", "IOPSLimit".
  'VM1', ' Hard disk 1 ","50"
  'VM1', ' Hard disk 2 ","75"

  'VM2', ' Hard disk 1 ","75"

  'Computer', ' Hard disk 1 ", 3 '35"
  'Computer', ' Hard disk 2 ", 3 '55.

  'Computer', ' disk hard 3 ", 3"65"

• cold backup can use archivelog to recover the database to the point of failure?

  Hello
  
  I have little doubts. In any DB saying we have following conditions:
  
  (1) DB is running in ARCHIVELOG mode.
  (2) cold backup is performed every Sunday.
  (3) no backups hot or the RMAN backup is taken.
  
  so if any failure occurs during the week say Friday. can recover us our database to the point of failure with cold backup? If yes then pls specify the steps how to do it.
  
  Archiving log could apply on cold backup?
  
  
  Thank you
  Shailesh

  Yes. Just make sure that you use "with the HELP of BACKUP CONTROLFILE' so that Oracle ignores the sequence numbers and the SNA in the controlfile and guard"rolling-forward"until the last archivelog that provide you.
  If you have not lost all over again the logs files and want a complete recovery, you must provide log redo file names "as if they have been archived" after applying the last archivelog. This way, you will be able to achieve a complete recovery.
  Of course, you will need to OPEN RESETLOGS.

• Using PowerCli to display the location of the folder vcentre

  Hello

  I adjusted began using the Cli power today. I managed to get some info on the internet but I am of course to have a problem with the script im its simple but at this stage I don't know enough about it.

  Basically I want thescript to output to a csv file with the name of the Virtual Machine, Datastore, host and his VCentre folder location.

  Everything is be filled except the get-file colum who im hoping will indicate the location of the folder VCentre

  Get - VM | Select Name, @{N = 'Cluster'; {E = {Get-Cluster - VM $_}}, '
  @{N = "ESX host"; {E = {Get-VMHost - VM $_}}, '
  @{N = "VICont"; {E = {Get-file - VM $_}}, '
  @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {Get-Datastore - VM $_}} | `
  Export-Csv - NoTypeInformation C:\VM_CLuster_Host_Datastore1.csv

  Thank you very much

  Ryan

  With recursion a bit, you can go a long way

  Get-VM | Select-Object -property Name,
  @{N="Cluster";E={$_.VMhost.Parent}}, @{N="ESX Host";E={$_.VMHost}}, @{N="VICont";E={
    $nodes = @()
    $obj = $_.ExtensionData  while ($obj.Parent){
      $obj = Get-View $obj.Parent    if("Datacenters","vm" -notcontains $obj.Name){
        $nodes += $obj.Name    }
    }
    [string]::Join('/',$nodes[($nodes.Count - 1)..0])}},@{N="Datastore";E={Get-Datastore -VM $_}} |
  Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation C:\VM_CLuster_Host_Datastore1.csv
  

• How to use PowerCLI to change the connection of network of 60 virtual machines

  Hello

  I have several virtual machines of XenDesktop with similar names and currently the same network, but I want to be on a different network. Here are the details:

  For my virtual machines, appointed XD-W7-01 by XD-W7-60, on 1 network adapter, they are all currently on 'Network VDI of Xen Production' for their connection network. I want that they all be changed to 'network of VDI Xen Test '. can you give me the script to make an and I can certainly understand the rest. Thank you very much in advance.

  Hello, MarchTheMonth-

  Welcome to the communities.

  You can do this quite easily by using the cmdlet Set-NetworkAdapter , as:

  ## for one VMGet-VM XD-W7-01 | Get-NetworkAdapter -Name "Network adapter 1" | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "Xen Test VDI Network" -WhatIf
  

  (remove the '-WhatIf "do actually change).  So, for all the machines of sixty, it would be something like:

  ## for all of 1-60Get-VM (1..60 | %{"XD-W7-{0:d2}" -f $_}) | Get-NetworkAdapter -Name "Network adapter 1" | Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName "Xen Test VDI Network" -WhatIf
  

  Yet once you take off the coast of the - WhatIf to change.  What to do for you?

• Need help to report on the configurations of the virtual machine using PowerCLI

  Hi guys,.

  I try to shoot down vCenter virtual computer configuration details and am not having much luck with vCPU multicore machines.

  Looking at the lists of VMS in vSphere Client, it offers a column "Number of CPU" basis and does not include any other granularity (i.e. in terms of casings & carrots as opposed to simply 'CPU Count').

  I thought that maybe I have better luck using PowerCLI and essentially, the cmdlet "Get - VM" has the kind of information I'm looking for, but I find that it lacks a bit when it comes to vCPU details.  Essentially, it turns out that does not do much better than the list of virtual machines in vSphere Client because it produces only a "CPU Num" value, which is not particularly useful.

  For example, if "processors Num" 4, that '4' means?  This could mean one of the following:

  • 1 x 4 drivers
    
  • Core 2 x 2
    
  • Basic 4 x 1
    

  I hope someone out there can help produce me a list of virtual machines with details of configuration that includes both sockets & carrots for vCPU?

  Thanks in advance!

  Try like this

  Get-VM | Select Name, @{N="CPU";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.hardware.numCPU/$_.ExtensionData.Config.hardware.numCoresPerSocket}}, @{N="Core per CPU";E={$_.ExtensionData.Config.hardware.numCoresPerSocket}}
  

• 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

  -Simran

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

• How to recover the data store of VMware using EQL Volume snapshot (smart copy)?

  Hi, I use VMware Std 5.1.0b on Dell EQL 6100 series.

  I have a question where my datastore (2 VMs) VM are stored in one of the Volumes EQL. I had created smart copies weekly.

  I tried to recover by creating a volume "cloned" by using one of the smart copies. That's why I would have 2 exact same volumes in EQL (one is updated and the other is 1 week old).

  I can rename them running EQL EQL centenarians. But it doesn't seem to be a way for me to get old EQL volume to vCenter.

  -J' have re-scanned the ESXi for databases and I tried to add, but he can't just see volumes

  Is there a step I missed that "deletes" and ID that distinguishes EQL-current and old EQL?

  When ASM creates stereotypes that they are defined in read ONLY. Make sure that you change this read-write in the first group Manager graphical user interface.  Then rescan.  The LVM. EnableResignature will not work unless it is read-write.

• Windows 8.1 lost the capacity of the volume, brightness keyboard and not let me download my Norton software.

  Original title: windows 8.1

  upgraded to 8.1 from 8 on a new Toshiba laptop purchased in may 2013.

  with 8.1 lost the capacity of the volume, brightness keyboard and not let me download my Norton software.
  No matter what is said, Adobe flash does NOT work in windows 8 and won't let me not download it from adobe.
  summer on the phone with technical support both windows and Toshiba, each fingers towards each other, saying that it will take a few months to coordinate the software updates.
  updates on this?

  8.1 is a beta and has a lot OF known issues under development and lot of unknown problems that have not yet been discovered.  It should be downloaded only by those who are comfortable, dealing with the problems of a trial version of the software.

  Lost the brightness controls and volume: do you need a driver. Your computer manufacturer may not have built their hardware drivers for Windows 8.1 control again.  They are not forced to do it to the beta-test system, so "use at your own risk.

  "Unable to download Norton".  What is the error you get?  Is this a problem with the download from the Norton site, or the installation process it?

  "Adobe Flash does not work".  Yes it does, it is integrated and you don't need to install it.  Just go to any Web site that uses flash and it will take care of itself.

  "Toshiba and Microsoft Point fingers"  Toshiba is not necessary to press the test system for windows 8.1, and Microsoft provides no support for the test software.  That is why they you warned that the 8.1 has many known and unknown problems and warned against install unless you like to manipulate and test out these problems.

  Looks like you need back to Windows 8 and wait for the final version.

• Want T15 - J100 Quad Edition Tou: recover the BIOS of the laptop using an external storage device

  So, from the start of my screen is empty and Caps Lock flashes 2 times.  I tried the Windows key + B + power key without success as indicted here:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02693833?JumpID=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0003

  I tried to recover the BIOS with an external storage device but HP's Software and driver download page does not have BIOS updated.  I've updated for Windows 10.

  Where is the BIOS update that is supposed to be here? :

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-envy-15-J100-Quad-Edition-Notebook-PC-series/6521...

  This model seems to have a lot of problems with what I find it everywhere on the internet, but the solutions all return to the download of the update of the BIOS.  I noticed that I can download an update for Windows 8.1.  Are there not one for Windows 10 yet?  Can I use the 8.1?

  The BIOS in the list of drivers of Windows 8 is the last exit for your model. You can use it regardless of the operating system because the BIOS recovery is run outside of Windows.

  BTW-to help the Windows key + B keys. When you press and release the power button / continue to hold the buttons for a few seconds see if BIOS recovery screen appears. I know that it is different from the document - but try it.
