• Get virtual machines in a subnet

  I need to get all the virtual machines in a subnet given with something like this:

  Get - vm | where {$_.2ndOctet - eq "110"} #(vous voyez l'idée)

  How can I select a set of virtual machines based on their IP address so that I get all virtual machines in the subnet 10.110.0.0/16?

  Thank you!

  The easiest way would be something like this:

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine. Where {$_.guest.} IpAddress-like "10.110. *. * »} | Select Name, {$_.guest.} Ip_address}

  If you are comfortable with regular expressions you could do something like this as well:

  Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine. Where {$_.guest.} IpAddress-match "10\.110\. [65-66]. * »} | Select Name, {$_.guest.} Ip_address}

• Stop/start multiple virtual machines with names created automatically

  Hi all

  in my test environment, I want to stop or start multiple virtual machines via the script.

  Their name is always like this:

  'vm-100-qa', 'vm-101-qa","vm-100-qa","vm-102-qa '...

  Now I would like to just stop every VM 'vm-140-QA' to 'vm-160-qa.

  I created a table "$a = 140.160", but I don't know how to implement this in a script 'Shutdown-VMGuest-comments '.... »

  Sorry for this stupid question. I am a beginner absolute powershell.

  Thank you very much in advance,

• 30EA2: Keep Getting "redevelopment" dialog box that never ends during Migration

  I get a dialog box which is soberly titled "Upgrade" in the Migration Wizard. Initially, I was getting it over the stage? (Selection of the repository). I simply tap the Cancel button and it seemed to allow me to move forward, but then no data have been identified in step 5 of the Wizard (screenshot).
  
  Then I tried offline migration and now I get the dialogue when I click on the button 'Finish' at the end of the Wizard (step 9). The "Cancel" button is disabled and only the 'Close' button is available. When I click on 'Close' to clear the dialog box, I get an error in the wizard: "cannot use this connection for the Migration repository, no update available."
  
  Upgrade, Upgrade, Upgrade... What hell he is talking about?

  The migration repository was created using an older version of SQL Developer? In this case I delete the repository and create it using 30EA2.

• Virtual MACHINE created on date export csv - get - vm testvm works but says testvm get-vmcreationdate is not found.

  Hello

  I entered the following two functions in my shell powercli

Please note that get-VMEvent can handle 1 vm at a time. You can't send picture of vms in this version of the script. . Example of Get-VMEvents 0All-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent", "VmClonedEvent". He will receive all events of type "VmCreatedEvent", "VmDeployedEvent" 'VmClonedEvent '. . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - type 'VmCreatedEvent '. Will be out of the events of creation of virtual machine: "vm1. It's faster than the vms piping is of result of Get - vm. There is no need to use get - vm to move names to get-vmevents.

  . Logbook

  Gets if possible virtual machine created.

  . Description

  This function will return the object with information about the creation time, method, of months,.

  creator of particular virtual machine.

  VMname: SomeVM12

  Createduserid: 10/08/2012 11:48:18

  CreatedMonth: August

  CreationMethod: cloned

  Creator: office\greg

  This function displays NoEvent property in case when your VC do not

  more information on these specific events, or your vm events no longer have

  entries for the subject being created. If your VC data base has more tension date it is no longer possible

  you find this event.

  . Example of

  Get-VMCreationdate - VMnames 'my_vm1', 'My_otherVM '.

  This will return items that contain date information of creating virtual machines with names

  myvm1 and myvm2

  . Example of

  Get-VM-location 'Cluster1 | Get-VMCreationdate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  Located in Cluster1

  . Example of

  Notice-EEG - viewtype virtualmachine - SearchRoot (get-datacenter "mydc") user.user | Get-VMCreationDate

  This will return items that contain information created for virtual machines that are

  located in the data center "mydc" container If you use this feature in an existing loop where you

  having the cmdlet get-view virtual machines, you can pass them via pipes or as a parameter VMnames.

  . Example of

  $report = get-cluster "cl-01' | Get-VMCreationdate

  $report | Export-csv c:\myreport.csv

  Stores all reported creationtimes object in the array $report variable and export the report to a csv file.

  You can also filter the report before you write in the csv file using select

  $report | Where-Object {$_.} {CreatedMonth - eq "October"} | Select VMName, CreatedMonth

  So that you see only the vms that have been created in October.

  . Example of

  Get-vmcreationdate - VMnames "my_vm1", testvm55

  WARNING: my_vm1 is not found, typo?

  VMname: testvm55

  Createduserid: 05/10/2012 14:24:03

  CreatedMonth: October

  CreationMethod: NewVM

  Creator: home\greg

  In case when you receive virtual machine that is not appropriate in the infrastructure of yor, a warning is displayed.

  You can always store the full text of the report in the $report variable, but it includes all the information on

  dates of creation of the missing vm. A warning always only for your information there is

  probably a typing mistake in the name of the virtual machine.

  . Parameter VMnames

  This parameter must contain objects of virtual machine or strings representing vm

  names. It is possible to supply this function wiith VM objects coming from get - vm or

  get - view.

  What will be the final objective to query the server vcenter set and export a CSV of the creation of each day VM - is their an easier way to do it?

  I was intending to use

  get - vm | Get-VMCreationDate | Export-Csv-path "d:\\reports\vmcreationinventory.csv ".

  But at the present time, each unique virtual machine is indicating "is not found."

  Attached is an example with a virtual machine called gbvls

  Although you may be better communicate with the author of these functions, from what I can tell, it seems to indicate that none of the specified events were found for these virtual machines.

  You can check if there are targeted with the cmdlet Get-VIEvent ordinary events.

  If you can see events, there could be a problem with the Get-VMEvents function.

  $vmName = 'testvm '.

  $tgtEvents = "VmBeingDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent", "VmClonedEvent", "VmBeingCreatedEvent".

• PowerShell syntax to check if a virtual machine is

  I wrote a Powershell script that prompts the user to a VM host name and stores the value in the variable '$desktop '. Subsequently the VM is powered via the command get - vm that is (get-vm-name "$desktop")... However, if the host name is not a powershell error is displayed and the script is abandoned.

  I want to ask is if there is a query method VirtualCenter to verify if the virtual machine host name exists, before issuing the command get - vm. Can someone help with the proper syntax?

  Thank you

  could be a way to do this:

  $Exists = get-vm -name $desktop -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  If ($Exists){
       Write "VM is there"
  }
  Else {
       Write "VM not there"
  }

• Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

  Hello

  After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

  It shows:

  This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  VMware Workstation 12.1

  Hello

  How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

  I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

  Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

  See also:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

  You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

• WAIT % - % IDLE, what is the average for a virtual machine?

  I did some research on performance of VM problems and worked with the media to see that there is maybe a bottle neck IO that occur with a virtual VMware machine I have performance problems on. The technician found that the WAITING % - % IDLE on average for this virtual machine is around 200%. The tech said it was abnormally high. I forgot to ask her what was normal but wanted to put a post to see if some people out there know what they are on average. What is an average number of see? I have the system done nothing right now and I see 579% waiting and 372% IDLE. The technology has been able to confirm that no IO queue was occurring in the VMkernel or on the HBA controller.

  Some average % positions would be useful. Thank you.

  gdewulf18480 wrote:

  Supposibly the amount of time in a State of waiting for I/O is the WAIT - IDLE % difference. I was wondering if anyone had the numbers for this feeling. Is there anyone with some of them?

  Q: How will I know the VCPU world waiting for I/O events?

  A: WAIT - % IDLE % can give you an estimate on how much time processor is spent waiting for I/O events. It is an estimate only, because the world wait perhaps for other than the i/o resources. Note that we should do it only for the worlds of the WWW, not the other kind of worlds. Because the VMM worlds represent the best guest behavior. For the disk i/o, another alternative is to read the disk latency stats that we explain in the drive section.

  WAIT % by itself cannot be used, you must develop and examine the individual vCPU % EXPECTATION values and subtract their idle time.  You can't do it on the initial view of a single line by VM CPU in esxtop.  If technology that you mentioned did not explain it, he doesn't know what it takes.

  I have lots of virtual machines that are never less than 300% when I wait - % idle and I have no problems.

  It is an example, I caught NimSoft server:

  DHSNMS1 100 100 5 192.63 193,80 0.24 0.03 291,44 1.04

  %EST USED (s) 192 - in other words, almost two processors are used 100%

  The %Idle is 1.04% WAIT 291.44 - according to the calculation of waiting idle, I have a super serious problems of e/s past  But this isn't the case, and expanding, I can see that.

  5665 vmware-vmx 100 1 0.09 0.11 100.00 0.00 0.00 0.01

  5667 100 vmassistant.566 1 0.62 0.65 99,63 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5703 100 mks:DHSNMS1 1 0.01 0.01-100.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

  5704 vcpu 100 - 0:DHSNMS1 1 32,35 32.88 67,28 0.28 0.11 67,14

  5705 vcpu 100 - 1:DHSNMS1 1 31,58 32.05 68.11 0.00 67.85 0.12

  So the changed values unfortunately because of ESXTOP bike when you develop... which is annoying, but anyway.  In this you see % waiting is 67 and 68 with another respectively being 3 to 100% (which is normal) and the idle being %, 0, 0, 0, 67 and 67.8.  Doing the calculation on the processors shows a wait - slowed virtually 0 - or very little IO wait past with processors.  But if you add up all the expectations of % and % is idling, you have 434ish, and the 134ish and do the calculation is the difference of 300 - which is the 3 who are always 100%.

  So there is no way we can answer your question, we can only help you to understand how the values should be interpreted.

  Waiting for i/o States almost always go on the disc anyway, it is unlikely, therefore, the network or the user entered, looking at the stats of disc ESXTOP is a much better way to determine if there is a problem of e/s.

• How do you exit name of Virtual Machine of ' Get - VM | Get-AdvancedSetting' command?

  Hello, I have a question which is hopefully enough simple to answer.

  I'm having this problem explained in KB 2078352 and you want a list of VMs affected before hotfixing them, to see if it helped with our problem or not.

  
  Sample line:

  Get - vm | Get-AdvancedSetting - name tools.deployPkg.fileName

  Name value Type Description

  ----                 -----                ----                 -----------

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc1D01.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc937E.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc32EE.tmp VM

  tools.deployPkg.f... imc6030.tmp VM

  This shows only the value of the file names, but not the names of virtual machine. So I was just wondering how I can get an output of name of virtual machine with this information?

  Thanks in advance.

• How to get the host name of the physical computer inside a virtual machine until the user logs in Windows?

  I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, I develop software to support VMWare PCoIP and need to know how to get the host name of the physical machine (which manages the virtual machine and View Client) within a virtual machine before the user logs in Windows of the virtual machine.

  I understand there are two ways to read the host name, via the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment registry and environment variables, but they are available once the user is connected. I need info before the user connects.

  Is there a VMware API that can be called or asked the host name?

  Thank you.

  Not on the broker, but there are the startup scripts to log on to the computer virtual itself: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-52/topic/com.vmware.view.integration.doc/view_integration_startsession_script.9.2.html

  Note that these executed when a virtual desktop computer allocated connection, not to the point that the client connects - it is possible for the customer to not complete the connection (crash, cancel, network failure) and so any what solution you design must handle this.

• Help to get a list of virtual machines with switch network and name

  I'm trying to get a simple list of virtual machines on a single host and include their name and networkname.

  When I run this Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"}, I get the virtual machines with their name.  When I run this Get-networkadapter - vm Get - vm | where {$_.} $host.name - eq "ESX.local"} I download news network with the name of the network, which is what im after. "  I want to combine these 2 commands and get vm name and network name in a csv.  The network name is the Group of ports, the VM is affected change settings for example, it could be vlan10 or what you named your group of ports in the switch DV.  I've attached a screenshot of the orders successfully.

  Hello, brisketx-

  You could do a little more efficiently by getting first the VMHost (s) that are of interest, then get their virtual machines and then using a computed property for the names of network for virtual machines.  As:

  Get-VMHost esx.local | Get-VM |    Select-Object Name, @{n="NetworkName"; e={(Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $_ | %{$_.NetworkName}) -join ","}}
  

  You can then, of course, lead to Export-Csv to write the data to a CSV file.  How does do for you?
