viPerl: list specific custom attributes for specific VM

I would be able to simply move the VM name and the name of the custom function and that perl attribute returns the value... Does anyone have a script for this?

So I wrote this quickly enough, but basically the fact that you are looking for.  You have to kind of match a value of index (key) between [] properties customValue and list of the custom fields CustomFieldsManager object.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use VMware::VIRuntime;

my %opts = (
     vmname => {
     type => "=s",
     variable => "VMNAME",
     help => "Name of virtual machine.",
     required => 1,
     },

     customfield => {
     type => "=s",
     variable => "CUSTOMFIELD",
     help => "Name of a custom field to retrieve a value from.",
     require => 1,
     },
);

Opts::add_options(%opts);
Opts::parse();
Opts::validate();

Util::connect();

my ($vm_view, $vm_name, $custom_field, $customFieldsMgr, $sc);

$vm_name = Opts::get_option("vmname");
$custom_field = Opts::get_option("customfield");

$vm_view = Vim::find_entity_view(
     view_type => "VirtualMachine",
     filter => { 'name' => $vm_name },
     properties => \[ 'name', 'summary' ], # Remove the '\' before '[' here, forum mangles it without an escape.
);

unless ( defined $vm_view ) {
     die "Virtual Machine, '$vm_name', not found.\n";
}

$sc = Vim::get_service_content();
$customFieldsMgr = Vim::get_view( mo_ref => $sc->customFieldsManager );

unless ( (defined $vm_view->summary) && defined($vm_view->summary->customValue) ) {
     print "No custom values defined for virtual machine, '$vm_name'.\n";
}
else {
     # Get the field key value from the supplied custom field name
     my $field_key = undef;
     if ( defined $customFieldsMgr->field ) {
          foreach (@{$customFieldsMgr->field}) {
               if ( $_->name eq $custom_field ) {
                    $field_key = $_->key;
               }
          }
     }

     unless ( defined $field_key ) {
          die "No custom field named '$custom_field' found.\n";
     }

     my ($value, $key);
     foreach ( @{$vm_view->summary->customValue} ) {
          $key = $_->key;
          $value = $_->value;

          if ( $key eq $field_key ) {
               print "Virtual Machine: $vm_name\n";
               print "   $custom_field = $value\n";
          }
     }

  • 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})

  • Why getter VO is not called for custom attributes of VO?

    Hello

    The requirement is to add two or three fields on a page of the OFA. Here's what I did:

    -Created VO personalized by extending the standard VO
    -Added fields to the page through customization.

    The problem is that the values for the custom page fields were not. Investigation, I found that the accessor Get of VORowImpl getAttrInvokeAccessor was not called for my custom attribute. I tried to check the difference between the attributes for which the Get accessor is called, and for whom it has not named. I could not find and I'm totally clueless as to what determines the get accessor to be called.

    Really appreciate your help to move forward.

    Thank you
    Anil

    Published by: AnilMenta on March 5, 2013 10:40

    Hi Anil,
    Unless the attribute is not used in the user interface or other calls,
    the Get accessor will be called
    Make sure you've got the attribute used to get your custom attribute named getter.

    You mentioned that you started to use in customization, it is always the problem persists?

    Thank you

    With respect,

  • Custom attribute in the model layer properties

    Hey all,.

    Can someone explain the flow of the program "ADF practice: using custom attribute in the model layer properties of". "" Basically, how change custom properties like "customLabel" changed the label attribute. Is there properties specific adf we can refer to properties for the attribute?

    Reference will also be useful.

    Thank you!!

    What exactly you want to know?

    It's pretty clear from what I've read:

    You can set properties that are customized for each attribute in a vo. This is done in the vo attributes dialog box where the default value.

    You can override the default values that is done in the setCustomHints() method. This method is called by the button in the user interface (actionListener = "#{bindings.setCustomHints.execute}" ")

    The inputtext is set to display the properties for the label (label = "#{bindings.") DepartmentName.hints.customLabel}') and uses the custom readOnly property (readonly = "#{bindings.") DepartmentName.hints.readonly}')

    As the inputText component is updated after the button clicked on (via a pertial in the inputText trigger), it shows the a values.

  • Set different attributes for different type of content or profile

    Hi all

    I use ucm10g, my client asked me if it is possible to set different attributes for different type of content or profile.

    I know that using the profile when checkin, content display information or research, content server just show me attributes belong to only one profile, but internally, several other attributes are always available for that content, it is a resource size? as the other attributes are not allowed for this business view content, is it possible to not allow other attributes for this content in this case?

    Best regards

    In short, no it's not possible.

    Basically, some ECM systems will create the tables of specific database for each content type store that content type-specific metadata.

    University Complutense of MADRID takes a simpler approach. All custom metadata are stored in the DocMeta table and the standard fields are in the table of revisions. So if you have documents that do not use some fields, you get "null in your database - I don't think it's a huge waste of resources that the DB does not really use a lot of storage in this way."

    Having in general many areas can reduce the performance of loading search page and very slightly so it is advisable to try to keep the number of fields to a manageable level.

    Hope that answers your question

    Hello
    We are just moving our production test vfoglight solution & have you come across a bit of a weird one. We had a report / discovers that would list all virtual machines in our virtual Center and displays the custom attributes in a nice - good for the management report, form etc. However, we are moving to a new instance of virtual center & we have a test instance too - all are present in vfoglight, but our report draws only the custom of the original vcentre attributes.

    Thought of it at the end - on the second vcenter vmware foglight agent did not have the ability to collect custom attributes in the service.config file set to true. After true and restart the collector and the connector, everything was fine.

  • Custom attribute in the patch ACS4.2 17

    I have an optional custom attribute in my ACS group to pass on ACE config mode: shell: Admin * Admin by default-field

    Privilege level 15 is also part of the configuration of the exec.

    Recently I applied the patch 17 on ACS 4.2 (0) build 124. Since then I can not connect with the level of privilege 15 in IOS routers/switches.

    Looks like IOS box considers this attribute custom as a mandatory now.

  • Change the VM with custom attributes defined in a CSV file

    Hi all

    I'm doing something that I think should be simple (but this is the first time I used powercli and am not a good code writer), but I find it hard to tell.

    I created 2 custom attributes (owner and owner of the SSG system) in vCenter for my virtual machines.  I have a list of vm names csv and their associates "owners".  I would use powercli to read the csv file and connect to the VC server and the 'owners' of entry in the appropriate field.

    I borrowed com code from various places on the internet and these forums but I can't seem to make it all work.  I managed at least to read the information in the csv file and is displayed on the screen of my laptop.  What I can't do is get 3 columns in the csv file to be recognized as variables (unless there is some default variables I don't know) I can put in the game-Annotation lines.

    The code I have is:

    # Input range, includes all IBD VM names that are registered.
    $data = import-Csv "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\scripts\vmowners1.csv"-Header ('Hostname', 'Owner', 'SSG owner')
    # $data | Get-Member
    Write-Output $data
    # Loop over all the VMS in vCenter
    ForEach ($row in $data)
    {
    # Create variables for the current virtual and its 'Contact' and 'Description' computer that are custom attribute fields.  Also create a $note string to use Set-VM-Description
    $hostname = get-VM-name $vmname;
    # $contact = $vm | Get-Annotation CustomAttribute - user;
    # $description = $vm | Get-Annotation - CustomAttribute Description;
    # $note = $contact.name + ":'t" + $contact.value + "' not n" + $description.name + ":'t" + $description.value;
    Set Annotation - entity $hostname - CustomAttribute "Business system owner" - value $SSG_owner
    Set Annotation - entity $hostname - CustomAttribute "SSG system owner" - value $system_owner
    # Set - VM - VM $vm - $note Description - confirm: $false;
    }

    The result, I get on my screen is:

    PowerCLI C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\scripts >.\setvmownership.ps1

    Owner of the company that owns SSG host name

    The CSV file looks like this (but continues for about 500 VMS):

    I go with the option import-csv because that said something that I read in my troubleshooting efforts would empty columns and error I received and that import-csv correctly would intrepret in empty columns.

    hostname, business_owner, system_owner,

    acrodev-00-ah, tflessa, Bruce Hastings,.

    ACT1DDB00AH, Bill Mancini, Mike Bruni,

    ACT1TDB00AH, Bill Mancini, Mike Bruni,

    What should I do to be able to get this script to work? I don't know that it is related to messages "argument is null." that we see in the output.

    Thank you

    Dan

    Hello, dscottimw-

    You were on the right track.  There were a couple of things to change to make it work as you want:

    1. either remove the "-header" part of the Import-Csv line or delete the actual header of the CSV itself - these are elements in conflict (the "-Header" param names of the columns in the CSV and assumes that the CSV file has already no header row)
    2. you need to access the properties of the $row variable in the ForEach loop - not only call the names of the CSV column headers (this is why you may receive errors on things 'null' - whether you use variables that have no value)

    Try this:

    # Input array, includes all VM names from DCI that are registered.$arrVMsInfo = Import-Csv "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\scripts\vmowners1.csv"#Write-Output $data

## loop through all VMs listed in the CSV, setting custom attrib values for eachForEach ($row in $arrVMsInfo) {    ## get the VM for this row    $vmThisOne = Get-VM -Name $row.hostname    Set-Annotation -Entity $vmThisOne -CustomAttribute "Business System Owner" -Value $row.business_owner    Set-Annotation -Entity $vmThisOne -CustomAttribute "SSG System Owner" -Value $row.system_owner} ## end foreach

    And, to give it a shot without actually play the game on annotations, to make sure things go as you like, you could add a - WhatIf to each line in Set-Annotation in the ForEach loop.

    Which works better for you?

  • Custom template for related products?

    So, this is the first time I try to customize an ecommerce solution beyond the normal stuff of the BC. Customer wants a specific view for related products, so my first thought was to use a custom template, but it doesn't seem to work.

    So I almost with the help of the model of module, a decline in the amount of 1 - and hoping I can use a custom template for the display of the small product instead since I use that related products.

    I forgot something? Is it possible to use a custom template for the {tag_relatedproducts}?

    Thank you Joel however I have more control over the layout as a few styles of it. I ended up jumping in with the beta version of liquid to get what I need, what gave me some other customizations.

    TAGS cannot take a custom template variable, I chose to store it in a tag "capture." So based on some conflicts of naming of my catalog images, I was able to target specific catalogs, then browse related products and build them up as I wanted.

    Here is an example of what I chose to go with.

    {capture products %} %

    {tag_productlist, true true, 3,}

    {% for %} endcapture

    model {module_catalogue catalogId = "{{this.id"}} "=" "collection ="cat"}

    {tag_name}

    {% If {cat.imageUrl} contains 'show' and ({{this.id}} == {{tag_productlist_5_8.catalogId}}%}}

    {tag_productlist, true true, 3,}

    {% elsif {cat.imageUrl} contains "display" %}

    {% for %} tag_productlist_5_8.items products

    REF #: {{product.custom3}}

    MFG #: {{product.custom2}}

    {{product.name}}

    Price: {{product.saleprice}}

     

    {% endfor %}

    {tag_pagination}

    {% products.items %} elsif

    {tag_cataloguelist, true true, 2,}

    {% for %} tag_catalogueList_3_9.items products

    {{product.name}}

    Price: {{product.saleprice}}

    {% endfor %}

    {% other %}

    {tag_cataloguelist, true true, 2,}

    {tag_productlist, true true, 3,}

    {% endif %}

  • How to create a dynamic custom attribute?

    I would like to create a custom attribute of type 'Host' that would dynamically update listing the number of guests on each host.  It would be same information on every host on the summary, General Section tab, Virtual Machines.

    It would be extremely useful, I'd be able to say to an ice cream which was underused host without having to check each host.

    This should be solved with a script.

    If this is in the wrong community then please move.

    I use VC 2.5 update 4 with ESX 3.5 update 3.

    Thanks in advance for any help with this.

  • To find existing custom reports for a module

    Hi all

    We have a requirement in which we want to find the existing custom reports for a particular module.
    I would like to confirm will help the following query:

    SELECT annual doc_name, doc_developer_key, doc_folder_id
    DOC eul5_us.eul5_documents
    WHERE doc_name AS < workbook name >

    The 'eul5_documents' table also contains the data of standard reports. If this is the case what specific verification, I need to extract only the customized reports.

    Kind regards
    Shruti

    Hi shruti,

    find existing custom reports for a particular module.

    The query you've written works very well. But for particular module as you say, you add the fnd_responsibility to the query.
    If you want to ge the details of reports customized.

    There is no such thing of specific check to find custom reports.

    I hope this helps. More than problems let us know.

    Best wishes
    Murielle.
