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.

    How to install the update to esxi 4.1 using powercli (powershell?)

    Hello

    The ESXi upgrade could be a problem if the patch file is too large, because there is not enough space in the tmp drive. If you could download the patch on a data store of the host and after this call to the Install-VMHostPatch cmdlet with the HostPath parameter. See the third example here:

  • PowerCLI 'update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool' removes the login server on pool restrictions?

    Hello


    Thank you for taking the time to read this query.


    We are experiencing a problem whereby a simple script PowerCLI serving to reduce the number of virtual machines running in a pool is having the knock on effect of the removal of the server connection for the pool restrictions.


    "Update-AutomaticLinkedClonePool -pool_id testpool -headroomCount 20"

    VMware say there is no support for using PowerCLI with View which I find a bit mystifying at the moment but I'd be grateful for any advice on this problem or whether there is a better way of achieving this.

    With thanks,

    Kim

    Hi Kim,

    I saw this culture until recently. It's a bug in the view code PowerCLI whereby it keeps the values of tag for pools when they are modified. It is now followed by a solution, even if I have no details on when it will be released. The solution is to extract from the database of ADAM beforehand and restore them after the command manually.

  • Firefox 31.7.0 ESR is not able to update to Firefox 38.0.1 ESR using checking update "On Firefox".

    Firefox 31.7.0 ESR was running and "On Firefox" confirmed that. I knew that Firefox 38.0.1 ESR was available, but using the update checker "On Firefox" on Firefox 31.7.0 ESR only disclosed that Firefox has been updated. I had to download Firefox 38.0.1 ESR and install it manually. The new version is now running. Those who use Firefox 31.0.7 ESR seem to be locked into this version. The Firefox 31.7.0 ESR update doesn't seem to work as it had done previously on the ESR 31.6.0 version when it updated to version 31.7.0 ESR.

    I noticed this behavior on three separate computers to Windows XP and Windows 7.

    Hello hake, firefox esr is a version for businesses and the behavior you described is intended. the branch of the ESR 31 firefox is always supported & there will be an another regular update to 31.8.0 - at the end of this cycle on the esr branch users will be updated to 38.2.0 through the integrated autoupdater...

  • How can I use Office Update without the Office CD?

    How can I use Office Update without the Office CD? On the microsoft Web site, I clicked the options which mean that I would not need the CD (which was not provided with the laptop), but poartway through the service pack update, I get a request for the Office 2000 Professional CD.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Did you mean an office or a note?
    As far as I know the a Note is part of the recovery Image and the CD is not supplied with the unit. In addition, Toshiba units are not delivered with the Office 2000 software.

    However, have you checked to aid either in Word update function?

    You will find an option called verification of updates

  • Should I use Windows update for updates or download Toshiba bullet only?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Windows XP. I wonder what should I use windows update to download patches and additions or only
    install quick fix from the Toshiba support pages? Is there a difference?

    I noticed that to the Toshiba support site, there is no new update (miracles) have come in this year at all.

    I ask this because I have some time ago asked Toshiba (when I contacted their support) I use only WLAN updates provided by Toshiba, Intel does not update even if I have the Intel WLAN card in my laptop and there was new driver at the side of Intel.

    I agree with the previous user. I never installed all the patches page download Toshiba, just used Windows Update option in Explorer. So far, I've never noticed some problems.

    If you clean the OS installation I recommend you to install SP2 (if missing) and after doing this run Windows updates.

    I can't tell you much on Intel, but I repeatedly used newer drivers directly from the Intel download page.

  • Apply SP3 to sp3.cab manually instead of using Windows Update?

    The original installation software of my PC included only Service Pack 2.  I used the update to upgrade my machine to SP3.  It took a lot of time (about 90 minutes).  What I would like to know... are the installation of SP3 files downloaded to my machine in a format that would allow me to run the update manually without going through Windows Update.  I found the SP3.cab file on my machine... but it isn't but 22.7 MB while updating told me that the download was (if I remember correctly) 66 MB approximately.  I don't want to download the full blown sp3 (314 mb) and I would like to avoid having to use Windows update to update my machine the next time I have to rebuild this machine.  Any suggestions on the best way to do it?

    22 Sp3.cab MB isn't the whole update file, AFAIK. It is not yet a complete file.

    My advice would be to let Windows Update to install SP3 if you do want to installation offline.

    Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

    You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
    If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.
