• How to get the current version of the firmware of the ILO through VMware power CLI

  Hi all

  Task - need to know the current version of the firmware of the ILO (HP blades) and version the physical servers of IBM IMM.

  "I got the information through ESXi guest by ' smbiosDump | grep built-in-i"for IBM blades.

  For a server, it is easy to check by the manual connection. We need to check for multiple ESX hosts (also whole army has there own unique password)

  Is it possible, from where we can get this information from VMware CLI power by any script.

  We create 2 files, one for the hostnames of the host and in the other we can keep the password.

  Matt has a script that gets this information, see obtain information of Firmware HP to HP VMware hosts using PowerShell

  It seems that if you have more than 1 model with that name in your vCenter.

  Make one

  Get-model

  to check it out.

  If you want to use a specific template, you will need to find a distinctive feature.

  Suppose for example that the model that you want to use is located in a folder named MyTemplates, then you can do

  $template = get-Template-name TMPL_W2K3_STD_SP2_R2_x86-location (Get - file - name MyTemplates)

• Failure of power CLI remove Datastore

  The Installation of ESXi generates a "datastore1".

  It is possible to generate an additional data store named 'Datastore1' via PowerCLI.

  The name is keysensitive, because it is not possible to generate an additional "datastore1".

  I have the following problem:

  With CLI power, it is not possible to remove the Datastore1 or datastore1.

  the command remove-data store with the parameter of the data store name cannot remove the data store,

  with error: there is more than one object with the name 'datastore1 '.

  In this command, the name is not supported keysensitive.

  It is not possible to use the ID of the store of data as a parameter for the deletion.

  Anyone have an idea how I could handle this problem with Power CLI?

  Thanks for the help!

  Chris

  What you can do to remove a specific data store, is to use the operator - ceq PowerShell which performs a case-sensitive comparison. Something like:

  Get-Datastore | Where-Object { $_.Name -ceq "Datastore1" } | Remove-Datastore
  

  If you want to remove both you can do:

  Get-Datastore | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "Datastore1" } | Remove-Datastore

• Help needed to upgrade the CLI Version of power...

  Dear team,

  I need your help to upgrade my powercli API, here are the details

  PowerCLI installed (ver. 5.0.0.3501)

  OS: win2k3

  for the most part all ESX worm is 4.1.0 260247

  vCenter version: 4.1.0 (258902) and 345043

  When I opened powercli it takes a long time to open (about 15 minutes)... and following is the blink of an eye the same.

  

  for the new version of powercli, please help me with he download link = the same thing.

  concerning

  Mr. VMware

  Because I would upgrade PowerShell first PowerCLI is based on PowerShell. Although I don't know if it's important.

  ESX 4.1 is not mentioned in the VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.1 Release 1 Release Notes. This means that it is not supported. In this case, you can better keep PowerCLI 5.0. Or upgrade to PowerCLI 5.0.1 you can download from http://www.vmware.com/downloads/download.do?downloadGroup=PCLI501.

• Upgrade VMware Tools for multiple virtual machines by power Cli

  Hello

  I'm looking to improve the tools of vmware for several virtual machines through scripts. As VM1, VM2, Vm3,... VM50.

  Update-tools-VM VM1 - NoReboot  (Applicable only for virtual machines unique sound)

  Any help will be appreciated in do I have to upgrade about 100 VMs which was migrated from ESX3.5 to ESXi4.1

  Thank you

  VMguys

  The cmdlet Update-tools has a NoReboot parameter.

  When you set this switch, normally should not be a reboot after the upgrade.

  Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot

  If you set the switch to $false, there will be a restart if necessary.

  Get-VM-name (1.50 | % {' VM$ _ "}) | Update-tools - NoReboot: $false

  Note that this method of first creating a table with all the names of the virtual machine you want, is faster than the previous example, I gave.

  In this case you only do a Get - VM with all the names, instead of 50 individual.

• Update the VMWare tools using Power CLI: select VMGuests

  Hello world

  I have the following script to upgrade VMWare Tools without a reboot.

  update-tools - VM VNNx - Noreboot

  However, I need only update client VMWare (UAT) 200 instead of my full prod environment.

  can I use this script and refer to a text file for determine which I want to upgrade customers.

  Or another script that would allow me to use a VMGuests text file I want only ugrade.

  
  Thanks for your help

  If you make a file text VMs.txt with on each line the name of a virtual computer that you want to update, you can update all these virtual machines VMware tools with:

  Get-Content -Path VMs.txt | `
  ForEach-Object { Update-Tools -VM $_ -NoReboot }

• 4 ESXi and VMware vSphere CLI

  Hello

  I can't start a discussion in the community CLI to I write here.

  When I try to use the CLI tools to manage a few shots on an ESXi 4 Server I get strange errors.

  CMD: snapshotmanager.pl - Server XXX.XXX.XXX. XXX - XXXXXX - nom_snapshot Test vmname - create operation

  Result:

  Fault:

  SOAP fault:

  Error string: error. RestrictedVersion.summary

  Lack of details: RestrictedVersionFault

  The operation using 'list' works very well but not create or delete.

  No idea why it does not work for a 4.0 host but is ideal for a 3.5?

  The reason why it worked for you on ESXi 3.5 is probably the version you were using was U2 or U3 where the VI API has an internal bug that allowed two full read/write access, which allows you to perform operations such as switching to a virtual computer or take a snapshot. Go ESXi 3.5u4 +, which includes 4.0 moving forward, the API VI is read-only. Before more details please look here: http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/

  You still have a few options, either unlock the console SSH not supported to automate snapshots using vimsh vim - cmd wrapper, using the VI Client or use VMware VIX and vmrun which currently is not governed by the VI API, take a look here for more information: is not happy with lockdown 3.5u4 VI API/RCLI ESXi? Worry not, VMware VIX to the rescue... for now =)

• Can I use VMware vSphere CLI to perform a post on esxi 3.5 and 4.0?

  Currently, we use a bash script (mainly vimsh and esxcfg-* command) to set up post on our server ESX (vSwitch, service), update, etc..  I found that it is not a RCLI for vSphere 4.0?  a RCLI be rename to just CLI?

  Secondly, what tools or version would work for ESXi3.5 and 4.0?  Do not write code twice

  And finally, is there any limitation on the CLI or RCLI that it cannot be done locally by esxcfg-# or the VI client

  NP.
