• PowerCli deployment script for Dev of VSphere 4.0 environment

  HI, I'm new to PowerCli scritping and need a deployment script simple that I can use to deploy VMS 5-10 at a time. This is a Dev Environment and the servers will be removed and redeployed each month after coding.

  I have a model that has the configured network and wonder how to automate the deployment instead of right-clicking on it since my console VSphere. What I want the model pre-configured with details of networking or a script that put in? one is fine. I want to run the deployment script to a virtual machine or from the server that is installed on VSphere?

  As I mentioned, I am very new to this, so if you can dummy it upwards as far as possible that would be great!

  Thank you

  BG

  You can use the FULL domain name or meta characters, something like this

  Get-VMHost esx04 *.

  No idea what's wrong with your window PowerCLI.

  There is no message of welcome or guest?

  

• Progress bar in the VM deployment Script

  I'm doing my most effective deployment script.  Currently I use the wait-job cmdlet to display the progress of the task cloneing.  I prefer to be able to execute the loop, get all the machines both cloning and they have implemented a progress bar of tasks using the write-progress perhaps cmdlet using the output of the get task.  Any help would be appreciated.

  $vms = import-CSV D:\PSScripts\vmware\deploy.csv
  
  

  {foreach ($vm to $vms)

  $Template = get-model $vm.template
  $VMHost = get-VMHost $vm.host
  $Datastore = get-data store $vm.datastore
  
  $OSCustomization = get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization

  $Task = new-VM-name $vm.name - OSCustomizationSpec $OSCustomization - $Template - VMHost $VMHost Datastore - $Datastore - RunAsync model - thin DiskStorageFormat
  Waiting-task-task $Task
  }

  foreach ($vm to $vms)
  {
  Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkName - $vm.networkName - StartConnected: $true
  Start-VM $vm.name
  }
  
  

  the get task output

  [vSphere PowerCLI] C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI > get -.
  task

  Name status % complete, restart time of arrival
  ----                           -----      ---------- ----------   -----------
  CloneVM_Task success 100 10:01:42 10:10:25
  CloneVM_Task running 19 10:10:29

  You can collect all the tasks in a table, and then run the Wait-job cmdlet in this table.

  Something like that

  $vms = Import-CSV D:\PSScripts\vmware\deploy.csv $Tasks = @()foreach ($vm in $vms){       $Template = Get-Template $vm.template       $VMHost = Get-VMHost $vm.host       $Datastore = Get-Datastore $vm.datastore
  
         $OSCustomization = Get-OSCustomizationSpec $vm.customization
  
        $Tasks += (New-VM -Name $vm.name -OSCustomizationSpec  $OSCustomization -Template $Template -VMHost $VMHost -Datastore  $Datastore -RunAsync  -DiskStorageFormat Thin)}Wait-Task -Task $Tasks
  
  foreach ($vm in $vms)     {         Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkName $vm.networkName -StartConnected:$true         Start-VM $vm.name     }

  Reminder: This program is in place for YEARS.   Then, a week before, this error started happening.

  I uninstalled RoboHelp Office 2002, MS Office and reinstalled MSoffice, and RoboHelp.

  (Installed as a local administrator, the domain administrator).

  The error still occurs.

  I installed in on another server, and it works absolutely fine.

  I can't understand what is wrong.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  HR must be installed on your desktop PC, a server, and that can give you problems. But you say he's not working, so I'm not clear what type of assistance you are looking for. Do you want to run from the original PC?

  Generally, the problem you are reporting is because RH was installed without the necessary rights. The user needs the local administrator rights when installing and using it (with this version). You say it worked for years without this problem, which suggests the rights were removed, intentionally or not. Whatever the reason, reinstall it to do with these rights. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/597/rb_597984.html

  I wonder if you have installed with a system admin logon and try to use the product with a personal login. Your version of HR must be installed with the connection of the user.

• 10.2 ATG with sendEmail script question

  Hi all

  I use ATG10.2, and I have created a registry script that sends an email, welcome as email of new records.

  I have configured all the smtp properties, but the email is not send. I checked the property of the EmailEtat function in the profile, and it's valid status.

  I don't have any error, and debug component scenarioManager I saw that the event is atg.dps.Register, it seems.

  But I got this in my debug as:

  "the individual instances 0 were found for the user object: 4604715.

  Any idea?

  Thanks in advance

  Not sure what exactly is the problem in your environment, but just throw in some ideas... TemplateEmailSender has a property to send emails in the same thread. You can check that I think that for the events of local scenario it can be safely set to false.

  Try to set dummyMode to true in SMTPEmail and check if you can see all of the markup of your email template rendered in the console ports server logs / every time e-mail action is triggered. I say this just to confirm that e-mail action is getting triggered after each event registration, so we're good up to this point. Sometimes, if you have multiple instances of ATG to connect to the same database, it is possible an instance of thugs (who might have been saved as ESG/PES) may out messages before internal event queue JMS gets it a legitimate server. So be sure that you are not running in this kind of situation.

  In the ATG, when e-mail messages are sent using sender of model, an HTTP request is generated and maintained to make the JSP email template. So another area, you can watch it if any custom pipeline servlet which is originally a question because this request goes through the pipeline.

• How to detect status of the model deployment process?

  I use powershell and VI-kit of in order to deploy a model of XPSP3.  I need to be able to detect programaticly when Sysprep and VMware customizations that follow are over, so that I can run additional installations through the powershell script.

  I am running VMware ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 153875, and I use the VI Toolkit 1.5.

  I started polling the virtual machine to see if the virtual machine has been turned on, it works very well.  Then I started to try to look in the VM using the Invoke-VMScript to try and see what happens, it not worked so very well, especially because I am unsure of what I should look for.  I have also spent a lot of time trolling in the VI-box cmdlets to tools, to see if there is no tool for the detection of the State, I think I forgot something.

  Any help with this would be appreciated.

  I use the CloneVM_Task method in the SDK for the guests of deployment models.

  Have you had a glance at the Rob script to Deploy virtual machines based on a model of a .csv.

  Also, this script uses the CloneVM_Task method and has an option to run post-installation scripts.

• Firefox is having "Script" questions (no response) und eventually Flash issues?

  Okay, downloaded Firefox for the first time like a year yesterday. It worked perfectly, oh, how I missed it. I hate using Google Chrome with a fiery burning passion.

  However, although it worked perfectly yesterday, I have not downloaded anything or has any plug-ins/extensions, whatever.

  Today, however, I can go on www.google.com (on firefox), but if I try to go on my site banks, Habbo.es, or something like that, all the sudden Firefox decided to hang. It freezes und I get that annoying "(ne répond pas)" upstairs. " I have to shut completely out of the browser, open und renounce session restore.

  Some websites is okay, however, it seems that many of them are not.

  I get a script error message, this day for Neopets.com , which displayed was "lookout.bluecava" or something like that. Asked if I wanted to wait for script to respond or if I wanted to stop him. Whatever it is, it ends with closing me und on return from google.

  Ask this question, I had to re - download google chrome, und log in from this browser since Firefox is not even want to support right now, it's own support forum! Stuff of crazy, right?

  In any case, since it is having a problem with "script", I went to java, made sure I had the java update installed on my computer, then I made sure that I got the update java plugin. Und I even downloaded java 64 bit for him as well, the 7u45 or something else.

  So, my java on my comp und firefox browser are apparently up to date, und the thing of the add-on for Firefox to check if the plugins are up to date says that they are all up to date.

  Still having the issue. At the time where I go to imvu or another site that has this issue, it freezes for 10 seconds und that's all she wrote.

  So I'm not really wanting to go back to Google Chrome for another year, I miss the hell out of Firefox.

  To add: the question that I have now with Firefox is the same problem, I had a year before, when I had to uninstall firefox und go with Chrome in the first place.

  But, since yesterday it was normal when I installed it, I thought it was fixed. Wrong in less than 24 hours.

  Before I submitted this, I decided to jump on Firefox und try something.

  I disabled the Shockwave Flash und plugins Shockwave Director. Now, Firefox works again.

  so.

  He asks me if I want to install the 'flash' plugins needed to view content on the page (I used Neopets.com trying after disabling the Shockwave), but still runs.

  So, what should I do for flash? Or better yet, what is happening with it?

  I downloaded the flash yesterday in a half hour startup of Firefox after you download it. Und it worked very well for hours.

  I turned off the computer, he packed up, went home, back to work, hop on the net und BAM. All the shock wave suddenly is having problems with Firefox when nothing was done he commit? Is not supposed.

  Other info:
  Windows 7 Home Premium on HP laptop.

  Well, I don't know what was the root cause of the problems I had. But I had a friend completely erase my computer und installation Windows 7 Professional on this topic. Und now, I no longer have problems with Firefox about flash. It's purr in this Department.

• Deployment script on multiple computers

  What about a Javascript on several computers

  Please bare with me, I'm new D:

  I made a script to speed up my workflow, and now she is adopted by the entire team. It's because

  each user has specific variables values, whenever I need to correct or update anything on this subject, I must change individually

  things like username (for local files) and so on.

  I was wondering if there was a way to pass values to the java-script via the shortcut as you would with some programs.

  (adding-(argument) under General properties shortcut in windows)

  This way I can just have 1 script on the server and that all run the same script,

  and pass their own arguments, rather than everyone running their own version.

  In addition, if there is another way to achieve the same goal, would be thank you so much for your suggestions

  
  Thank you!

  All startup scripts are read at startup, in an undefined order. All global variables defined at a higher level will be usable in all functions (but you can't use them at the highest level in other scripts, because the order is not defined).

  Be sure you are not putting your var statements in any kind of function. Your question suggests you are equating 'script' with 'function', given that you can't actually "run" a script at all, Acrobat does this at startup.

• CentOS 6.4 model deployment problem

  Hello.

  Ideploy and customize template CentOS 6.4. I choose Red Hat Linux 6 instead of CentOS 4/5/6 when creating VM basis because the customization option has been disabled during deployment if I chosse CentOS. Now customization options are available, however, after completing the wizard, copy the virtual machine and at the very last step will raise an error "customization of the guest operating system is not available for this configuration... ». Perl and VMware Tools are installed on the base virtual machine which the model has been cloned.

  Please help me solve the problem.

  Thanks in advance.

• The model deployment - VM related to the data store model

  I have templates create in a data store, call datastor0 on a San in LUN0. I'm deployment of virtual machines in datastore1 in LUN1. The problem:

  • After the deployment of a virtual machine at datastore1, the summary of VM page datastore0 and datastore1 in the 'resources' tab.
  • If I go to view the data warehouse, the virtual computers tab, I can see that the VM listed in datastore0 and datastore1.
  • If I browse the data warehouses, the computer virtual folder is located in datastore1.
  • I'm not change hardware or anything else during or after deployment.

  I'm guessing there is a file in the model with information about the deployed virtual computer that it throws out. I don't see the problem when the dpeloying to datastore0, but the problem could still be there, with the virtual machine is somehow related to the model.

  I know that I have een that high in the past in other threads, but I think as those relating to make changes during the deployment. I'm not familiar with the editing of the VM reviewing files, it's been long that I had, so any ideas on the problem, what are the files that I should look through diagnosis and how I finished with this in the first place?

  The environment is:

  vCenter 4.1 Build 491557

  ESXi 4.1 Build 502767

  I opened a case with the help, but I won't hear from them before some time tomorrow and jump to get these deployed tonight.

  Thank you

  You happen to have the CD-ROM pointed an ISO on datastore0? Can you post the contents of the. VMX file for the virtual machine you just deployed?

• Differentiate between the VM and the models using script

  I wrote a script to get a list of the VM under a vCenter using TraversalSpec. And in the final list under host it lists both VM & Templates as a virtual machine. How to distinguish the VM and models among them? Is there a specific option to identify it?

  Thank you

  Yes, there is a property under VirtualMachine-> config (http://vijava.sourceforge.net/vSphereAPIDoc/ver5/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.ConfigInfo.html) called 'model' which is a Boolean value, you can check if it's true to include/exclude VMs that are templates.

• By script question Patterns - frame photo and tree

  Hello

  I have some problems to use the fill > model > models scripted. What happens is when I open the list of scripted, the two models 'picture frame' and 'Tree' appear disabled.

• XP Service Pack 3 VDI model - deployment use and Windows XP Service Pack 2 deployment tools?  VMWare View, virtual center of customization specification Manager.

  I'm setting up a VMWare View deployment and I need to configure Performance Manager in Virtual Center Customization Tools.  Use the deployment tools XP Service Pack 2 for my model pack 3 XP service or do I have to download SP 3 tools?  Documentation on the internet points to SP 2 tools, but I can't find a definitive answer for XP SP 3 machines.

  I don't think anything changed in Sysprep between XP SP2 and SP3 of XP.  I use Sysprep in an XP SP2 CD deploy.cab file to customize my XP SP3 image with no problems.  You should be able to use Sysprep tools on the CD for SP2 for your model.

• Why are the models of script TV UK only?

  I just created a new project in the history of CP and indicated that I wanted to create a TV script. However, all models are UK, not US. My account is a U.S. account. Why is this?

  Hello

  These are just the default models listed for some of our popular users. You can change the default settings of the models according to your needs (in script view edit-> model) and save the disk model, as required by renaming it and import it back. And next time, you will see your own model in the model drop-down list

  Thank you
