vCAC custom property for MultiMachine Blueprint?

Hi, I have a multi machine plan that works well. He created machines on different sites and then passes custom vCO properties to perform some customizations via PowerShell scripts.

I can't seem to find the built-in property (I'm sure there is one) to name the MultiMachine himself well service. I have a prefix of machine here at the present time that works very well, and I'm sure I can combine one of the properties that is customized to that service name?

Any help would be appreciated as always.

Thanks in advance

Steve

It turns out that 'hostname' is a valid property for the service name in a map of several computers. The trickiest part is that this property must be different on the machines of its components, so it took a little more config.

I installed the vCAC Custom Hostnaming expansion of Dailyhypervisor.com. It provides the property sets to create relevant profiles build. I created a profile of build to help the "'Custom.Common.ComponentMachine.HostnameString ' for the VMS in the service component multiple computers." I also created a profile to build with the help of the "'Custom.Common.AppService.HostnameString ' for multi-machine service itself." (you must have ""Custom.Common.SetCustomHostname.Execute "also on both"). You can change the configuration of these properties to what you need on any level a entry. In my case, I have a custom property call "appName" I need the Convention of naming, so I changed customhostname to {appName} {#} property for the service. He will appoint the service based on the guest user "appName" and also add a number incremented by 2 numbers to keep the unique service name. I did similar for component machines to keep them unique. In my case, a number of my properties is then passed to PowerShell vRO and then in order for me to call external scripts for more customizations, complex sounds and it took a while, but it works well!

  • Custom property syntax model

    Hello

    JDev 11.1.2.4

    I defined a custom property for one of my VO attribute. The property is called specialLabel.

    For example if I want to access this property, I can write #{bindings. MyAttribute.hints.specialLabel} and it does not work as expected.

    But now I want to use it in an af:column headerText property

    The syntax generated for a column is links. MyView1.hints.MyAttribute.label. I tried links. MyView1.hints.MyAttribute.hints.specialLabel access to the custom property, but it does not work.

    What is the correct syntax?

    Thank you

    Which are different objects, in the first case of 'tips' belongs to the attribute in the second case to VO and VO.

    You can probably add MyAttribute pageDef and use #{bindings. MyAttribute.hints.specialLabel} as column label.

  • What is the custom property that determine the Type of disc Provisoning?

    Hello

    I wonder what would be the custom property that determines the type of disk configuration during the construction of the virtual machine. I had noticed, VMS that are cloned with VM model with thin provisoning get the drive put in service end however if one adds the additional drive for the virtual machine of the vCAC, they get set up as 'Thick lazy disposition to zero' which I don't want but I wanted this type of control.

    I'm sure there should be value for the same property portfolio, but I am not able to find, someone used or?

  • Make a non-overridable property for a particular hierarchy

    Hi all

    Is it possible to make a custom property derived, as unmodifiable, not overridable e for a particular hierarchy.

    Thank you

    Madhu

    Hi Madhu,

    Not the same derivative Overridable property cannot be specifically made for a specific hierarchy overridable but you can write validation that would stop all edits on this property.

    Example of Validation-

    If)

    Equals (String, PropValue (Core.HierName),the HierarchyName),

    Not (IsDefinedPropVal (Custom.PropertyName, Abbrev())),

    True

    )

    Before you enable this validation make sure you make a right-click on the property on the root and 'Clear all below', which will put all the values in this derivative of the hierarchy and then enable this validation that will prevent other substitutions.

    Try this and see if it works.

    Thank you

  • custom attributes for a virtual machine or more

    is it possible to create a custom attribute for VMA, lets say "data center region", then look for this attribute later.

    You can use the cmdlet New-CustomAttribute to create custom attributes (you can also do this through the client, but this is the forum PowerCLI!).

    You can then use the cmdlet Get-CustomAttribute to query what attributes to define in your vCenter.

    And to get the value of the attribute of an object, the CustomFields property contains an array of all the custom attributes.

    for example ((get-vm vm).) CustomFields | Where {$_.} The key - eq 'attributeName' value})

  • To access the custom in another custom property properties

    How can I access the value I create in a custom property in a custom property following - for example:

    $report = get-VM-name acme *-Server $vcenter |

    Select the name,

    ProvisionedSpaceGB,

    @{N = "vCenterServer"; E={$_. "Uid.Split(":") [0]." {{Split("@") [1]}},

    @{n = 'Cluster'; E = {}

    $rp = get-view $_. ExtensionData.ResourcePool

    $parent = get-view the $rp. Parent

    While ($parent - isnot [VMware.Vim.ClusterComputeResource]) {}

    $parent is get-view $parent. Parent

    }

    $parent. Name

    }} | Tri-objet vCenterServer |

    Group-object - property {$_.} Cluster} | Select @{n = "ClusterName"; E={$_. Name}},

    @{N = "vCenterServer"; E = {$vcenter. Name}},

    @{N = "VMCount"; E = {(get-vm-emplacement $_.)} {{Name) .count}},

    @{N = "AcmeVMCount"; E={$_. Group | Measure-object | {{Select - ExpandProperty County}},

    @{N = "VMsPerAcmeVM"; E = {(get-vm-emplacement $_.)} Name) .count / ($_.) Group | Measure-object | (Select-ExpandProperty comte)}},

    In the VMsPerAcmeVM, I would simply divide the value that I created in VMCount by the value that I created in AcmeVMCount.  How refers to the value of 'VMCount' in a custom property next so I can't calculate more to for use in a division operation?

    Hello, TheVMinator-

    Well, you could do things a little differently in order to have available for your output values, you ask.  So, something like:

    ## get all clusters in this vCenterGet-Cluster -Server $vcenter | %{    $oThisCluster = $_    ## get all VMs in this cluster    $arrVMsThisCluster = Get-VM -Location $oThisCluster    ## get the VM count    $intVmCount = ($arrVMsThisCluster | Measure-Object).Count    ## get the count of VMs with name like "acme*"    $intAcmeVmCount = ($arrVMsThisCluster | ?{$_.Name -like "acme*"} | Measure-Object).Count    New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{        ClusterName = $oThisCluster.Name        vCenterServer = $vcenter.Name        VMCount = $intVmCount        AcmeVMCount = $intAcmeVmCount        VMsPerAcmeVM = $intVmCount / $intAcmeVmCount    } ## end new-object} ## end foreach-object
    

    It's also a little easier: he travels each cluster and gets the news, rather than deduce the location of the cluster by finding relatives (even if it's also viable).  Anyway, how does do for you?

  • Extension of the filter custom property action

    Hello

    I want an extension of the action of the filter so that the action will be available for virtual computers that meet certain conditions.

    Since the condition is not related to an existing property of the VM, I thought, defines a new property and use a PropertyProviderAdapter to recover.

    I tested it with the property of the sample: sample "ElevationData" of the sdk samples - just moved to host to the virtual computer.

    The custom property is set correctly and I get the correct value when you use a PropertyRequest, but my extension appears for any virtual computer independently.

    It's the metadata tag that I used for the extension of the actions:

    < metadata >

    <!-this Filters-> actions to be visible only on virtual machines

    < objectType > VirtualMachine < / Type_objet >

    < propertyConditions >

    < com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint >

    < propertyName > samples: elevationData < / propertyName >

    equal to < comparator > < / comparator >

    < comparableValue >

    < string > bbb < / String >

    < / comparableValue >

    < /com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint >

    < / propertyConditions >

    < / metadata >

    of course, the adapter returns a numeric value for the property of elevation data, not 'bbb '.

    Oh, I changed the sample to return a numeric (as a string) value instead of an ElevationData, to simplify the condition.

    No idea what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Eitan

    The syntax of propertyConditions requires a CompositeConstraint / nestedConstraints, even if there is only a single constraint property.

  • Delete a custom property

    Hello, I was looking for a way to remove a custom property, like a menu operation that calls a workflow to "remove" a component and associated custom properties.  I looked in the CDK activity but it looks like only get and set for the custom properties are exposed.

    Hello

    I think you could use 'DeleteObject' of Dynamicops.Repository activity.

    for example.

    Use a variable of type VirtualMachineProperty for example vmprop

    Assign vmprop = mgmtCtx.VirtualMachineProperties.Where (Function (vmp) vmp. MachineId = VirtualMachine.VirtualMachineName). Where (Function (vmp) vmp. PropertyName = your 'ownership'). FirstOrDefault()

    DeleteObject (mgmtctx, vmprop)

    SaveChanges (mgmtctx)
