• 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

  Two functions I have installed

  function {Get-VMEvents < #. . Logbook Get events for an entity or query all events. . Description This function returns the events for the entities. It is very similar to cmdlet Get-vievent. 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. Yet, it is OK when you do, it will be just a little more slow < span class = "wp-smiley wp-emoji wp-emoji-blink of eye" title = ';') > ;) </span > . Example of Get-VMEvents-name 'vm1' - category 'WARNING '. Will be out all events for vm: 'vm1. It is is faster than the names of piping of cmdlet Get - vm. Category will get-vmevent to search only the defined category events. . Example of Get - vm "vm1 | Get-VMEvents-types "VmCreatedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent". Shows events for vm1 which will be regarding the events of creation,. and events when when / what mac address is assigned . VM parameter This setting is a unique string that represents the name of the vm. He expects this single vm name There in the virtual Center. Now in the first version of the script, it will only load a case where there is 1 instance of vm selected name. In the future it will load multiple as Well. . Types of parameters If none is specified, it will return all the events. If specified will return Only the events with selected types. For example: "VmCreatedEvent." "VmDeployedEvent", "VmMacAssignedEvent" "VmClonedEvent", etc... . Category of a parameter Possible categories are: warning, info, error. Please use this setting if you you want to filter events. .

  . 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.

  Now, if I use the first command

  But if I do

  Get-vmcreationdate testvm

  he responds with

  WARNING: testvm is not found. misspelling?

  I can't understand why he says this?

  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".

  $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

• report for multiple virtual machines created

  I have a virtual machine creation script that I modified in order to be able to run in a loop using a CSV file to create more than one virtual machine at once. My original script send me an e-mail message for example:

  VM	IPaddress	CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT	Memory	ToolsVer	ToolStatus	Data store	Folder	ESXiHost
  MyVM	123.45.67.89	3	4096

  8384

  toolsOk

  myDS

  My-file
  

  myesxhost
  

  The problem that I want to try to figure out how can I get ALL the VM's on an e-mail report. Right now, because it's a loop, each VM I create will send a report. So if I put it up to build 4 vm, it will send 4 emails... I don't like it.

  $report.add ($reportedvm) | out-null
  

  }

• A virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 Server?

  The subject says it all.  Our main office has created a virtual machine on their ESX 4 server running.  They want us to use the same but we are running ESX 3.5.  We have no time to upgrade our server to 4 again.  We get an error when we try to start by saying this is not not compatible because it was created with a version with more features.

  If a virtual machine created in ESX 4 can be converted to run an ESX 3.5 server using converter?

  most important:

  change

  virtualHW.version = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmx file

  then change

  ddb.virtualHWVersion = '7' to '4 '.

  in the vmdk file

  the other changes are optional - for example, you need to remove the lines that start with pciBridge and all the lines making reference to... .pciSlotNumber

  also take care of not to use more then 6 PCIdevices in 4 virtual material - i.e. the sum interface cards scsi controllers + network + video cannot be greater then 6

  If you have a time that is very simple and much much much faster then converter - post an example if you want

• You can run virtual machines created by merger in other operating systems

  If I install Windows 7 as a virtual machine using Fusion OSX and store the virtual machine on an external hard drive, it is possible to connect this drive in a computer running Windows or Linux and run the same virtual machine using something like VMWare Player? The idea is that if users have a Mac at home and a PC at work, we welcome with a virtual machine instead of a laptop.

  Thank you!

  OVF is a small and open format mainly used for the transport of virtual machines. After you deploy it, you will work with a normal vmdk, etc files (as far as I know... but I'm still learning new things here in this community)

  Now, performance, which is the other discussion. VMware has proved to be more solid and trusted platform... and for Windows VMS, I saw better than other hypervisors performace. It would make a difference, it will depend on how intense are your processes and the ratio of group you want to reach.

  To facilitate the management, security and stability, I highly recommend to use VMware. Performance should be better too, but it's harder to see sometimes. For a scenario of development where the snaoshots are very used, VMware will make a big difference.

• How to install the OS on a Virtual Machine created previously?

• vmreconfig.pl add a CD/DVD device will fail if the virtual machine created with vmcreate.pl

  I am trying to add a cdrom to my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl.

  When I use the script vmreconfig.pl to create the cdrom I get the following error...

  Cannot use a value that is not defined as a reference to a matrix to/usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/vm /... AppUtil/VMUtil.pm line 898.

  OK so I have create a cdrom in vSphere and try again manually...

  Addition of the cd 'cd '...
  Virtual machine 'vmname4' is reconfigured successfully.

  OK, so I think that my VM I created with the vmcreate.pl missing the ide0: 0 or something...

  Any suggestions on how I can do this?

  I'm doing the following...

  1. create the virtual machine by using vmcreate.pl.

  2. Add the CDrom to the virtual machine using vmreconfig.pl.

  Thanks in advance.

  Just watched this.

  The vmreconfig.pl script does not handle the case of a device not defined in the VirtualIDEController object array.

  Look like the real device table is not defined until an IDE device is actually connected (or when a new IDE device is added).  I'm not 100% sure of what generates the actual peripheral table off the coast of the VirtualIDEController, but the case of a table of undefined device should be handled in the script to reconfigure.

  I can see the two solutions here, first write a custom script that adds the CDROM and manages this one-off case.  Then, modify the vmreconfig.pl script to handle this particular case of a painting of the disconnected device.

  In VMUtil.pm, you will find line number 929:

  My = $unitNumber $# {$controller-> device} + 1;

  This is to change:

  My = $unitNumber (set $controller-> device)? $# {$controller-> device} + 1:0;

  There may be other cases in the VMUtil.pm module that needs to be updated as well.  For this reason, it may be better to just write your own custom tool.  However, the simple correction above may let you go ahead with your project in the short term.

• I can run all the virtual machines (created with workstation) in VMWare player?

  Suppose I created a virtual machine in a Vmware Workstation 7.1 installation.

  Can I take all of this a virtual machine and run it on a VMware player installation?

  Or Vmware Workstation offers specific features that are required by the virtual machine to run successfully?

  Matt

  If,

  If you are using vmware player 3.x, you should have no problem.

  Do not forget that the workstation and vmware player share much of its architecture.

• A virtual machine created the 4.0 can run on 3.5.1?

  Our infrastructure is 4.0 Update 1.  I must travel on a site next week, where the infrastructure is 3.5.1.  I would like to create a new virtual machine on my 4.0 host and then take the files with me and run them on the 3.5.1 host.  Is - this possbile?  Do any information would be helpful.

  Hello

  The new ESX V4 U1 has the ability to create the virtual machine to version 7 and version 4 (compatible with ESX 3.5). If its basically need to take care when you create a virtual machine, you will receive two options when creating. Choose the one you need and go as needed.

  So in your case, it is possible, but you must create the virtual computer with version 4 on ESX4 and take it to the other site where you ESX3.5

  Thank you

• Share the virtual machine created in VMWare Player

  Hi all

  I created a virtual machine Ubuntu based using VMWare Player. The goal of this virtual machine is so it can be used for demonstrations on our societies SaaS based appliction. So basically the image works fine now, I have a few questions:

  1. what format should I send them the virtual machine? (i.e. can I just compress the virtual machine directory)

  2. If open the image in VMWare Player if he invites asking them 'have you copied"/"Moved"the virtual machine? Can I avoid this?

  3. it will work on their equipment?

  Any help appreciated.

  See you soon

  I can help you with your questions;

  1. what format should I send them the virtual machine? (i.e. can I just compress the virtual machine directory)

  Zipper the VM directory should work correctly, it will just extract somewhere on their machine to run it.

  2. If open the image in VMWare Player it will ask asking them

  "You copied" / "Moved" the virtual machine? Can I avoid

  This?

  To the best of my knowledge, you can't avoid it, and they should probably answer "copied" in the situation you describe.

  3. it will work on their equipment?

  It's a pretty loaded question.  Obviously, it must be run the Intel instruction set and have a Player version available for their OS.  I ran with success of virtual machines on a laptop Centrino 1.6 GHz single core, but startup performance left a little to be desired.  I think that a minimum of 1 GB of memory for a host running XP or Linux, probably at least 2 GB for one of the more recent Windows operating systems.  More memory would be better, but it will probably work with what I suggested.  Of course, player must be installed on these hosts.  Then make sure that the parameter memory your VM is as small as you can reasonably do.

  I have provided virtual machines by providing copies of the record, and they worked very well.  In my case, I created my VMs on my Mac with Fusion, but then run it with Fusion or player.

• What should I do to use Workstation to open a virtual machine created by the merger?

  Because my MBP is in the shop for repair, I need to use on a PC Workstation to open my VM created by Fusion on a Mac. I copied the VM to a NTFS drive and thought, I'd go, but when I try to open the virtual machine in the Workstation 6.0.5 build 109488, I get a message saying that the configuration of the virtual machine file contains features not supported by this version of Workstation. What should I do to access this virtual machine? I have more access to the merger, because it is on the machine in for repair.

  Update your workstation 6.5.x (current latest version is 6.5.1) in support of hardware virtual version 7.

  You can create a drag and drop dashboard/report for this information table.

  Details:

  Create dashboard (right Menu)

  VMware, Virtual Center + name of the virtual centre (right Menu - data tab)

  Drag "virtualMachinesCount" on the dashboard

  Select a chart

  Set the time range you want. (Top right of the screen)

  FYI: County of VM is also avialable from a datacenter and cluster level.
