vmwaretool power off State

Is there a way to query if vmwaretools is running?

I was hoping I could get all this:

Get - VM | Select name ToolsVersionStatus, but it does not give me what I need.

I need to know when it's "not running" / "running."

what im trying to do

....

...

...



Start-VM - VM $myvm

{ VMWARETOOL IS running?}  if not sleep a bit until it starts


} until (is vmwaretools run?...) ( Yes) .. continue on...

update-tools - NoReboot...

. (must be running... that's why I ask tools vmware.)

..

Excuse the prehistoric excuse for code... As you can see I'm a green as the kermit the frog when it comes to powercli. but im trying...


First of all you can take a look at what the status of the VMware tools is on your VM with something like

Get-VM | Select Name,@{N="Tools Status";E={$_.ExtensionData.Guest.toolsVersionStatus2}}

You can use the same property in a Where clause and take measures for States spacific tools.

Something like that

Get-VM | Where {$_.ExtensionData.Guest.toolsVersionStatus2 -eq "guestToolsNeedUpgrade"} | Update-Tools -NoReboot

The possible values of the property are listed in VirtualMachineToolsVersionStatus

  • HP530: Adapter darkens cups, BOUNCING and power off power until it cools

    Hello, I got an original HP 65W adapter and still worked but the last two days after a while not to use the laptop

    whenever I turn on and start running it seems that the adapter overheats and cuts the LED fades intermittently does not reach just completely off state fades and the power output until it cools down.

    I have all the usb ports to use with my dj interface and my external cooling block and he has never done that so far.

    I know this laptop battery is old as it can and does she not fees for more than 20 or 25 minutes if yes would be the battery in such disrepair its origin of this problem or is - what the adapter itself starts to do not need to be replaced as soon as possible?

    Thanks in advance!

    OK, I removed the battery and tried again and did not repeat the question, I'm not 100% sure, but maybe it was the battery somehow affecting the performance of the power adapter. Used at about the same time and a little longer that initially, he took to the problem are created and get noticed at first.

    I turned off the system at the moment will repeat later without the battery and do a full series and I'll post conclusive results if everything's good about it.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Sudden power off of the show on X 220 Tablet with accumulator

    We discovered this problem in early August with our new X 220 tablets.  We have a 1 to 1 tablet pc program.  About 75% of our first grade class has experienced this problem.  The tablets are running on battery power with its long battery life.  Units spontaneously just will be turn off.  Not a clean shutdown but just a power off.  The batteries are in different States, when this happens, most of the time that both batteries are almost full.  I've seen this dozens of times with the students in my classes.  We discovered that it also affects another high school on our consortium.  Bulk buy our tablets with several other secondary schools.  Another school that has this problem has the same model and the manufacturer even date 11/06/2012.  It is estimated that 200 to 300 units are allocated between the two schools.  Lenovo product engineers work on the search for the source of the problem, but we have many frustrated students and parents.  Just curious if anyone else has experienced this problem with X 220 tablets and slices that were made around the first part of June?


  • Idle device, power off, repeating background tasks

    I read somewhere that a background thread does not rescheduled tasks with a frequency that is too high, because it will prevent the device entering his "idle state" and so drain the battery.

    I have found no documentation on this, can someone please confirm and possibly a link to the documentation, if they exist? I have a background application to query for changes, every few minutes or seconds even according to the risk of exhausting the battery.

    Without doubt, when you press the power off button, the unit is actually off the coast and not in a State of rest? Or is there ongoing stuff while it's "off"?

    Thank you very much.

    Yes, it's true: frequently repeating tasks will prevent the unit goes into low power mode (standby). It is not just "lazy" mode with the screen turned off - it's a deeper sleep, so to speak. Make sure you reschedule these tasks at very low frequencies (time in hours) when the application is not active and that the screen is black. Distributes them regular intervals when the application become active.

  • adapter for vehicle hp mini 40w has 'low-voltage power-off"function to protect the car batt. ?

    Hello

    I want to buy the adapter for HP Mini 40 Watt vehicle. Do we know if there are "low-voltage power-off" to avoid the complete emptying of the battery of my car? I can sometimes leave my HP Mini being turned on, press for long hours, so I wanted to just make sure that I not be left with a dead battery.

    Simply set the mini to Hibernate or sleep even if there is no activity for 30 minutes. In this State, it is powered negligible. Unless you live in Alaska or something it won't cause a problem. It would draw no more energy that say the dashboard clock. I guess that you are not sitting in the aisle running the netbook for hours with the car off.

  • Partially turned off and power off?

    Hi, I'm working on the API, vcloud

    I want to completely shut down a vm of the vcloud using vcloud api 1.5.

    However when I use its API, vcloud Portal status will switch to "partially power off '...

    If I try to power off from the vcloud portal, it will say "turn off."

    Is this a bug or a tip to turn off the virtual machine if 1.5. why it is partially?

    Thank you... Hei

    You must call "undeploy" with power action "power off" on the paralytic.

    The thing is that for vCloud uses vShield edge network management VMS and allocates the VLANs and IP addresses. Call just "switch off" - to stop all VMs regular associated VAPP, but does not stop the VMS infrastructure and do not release all resources allocated with the vApp network.

    The difference between the user interface and API is that you get this greater flexibility of power off the power on all computers in the VAPP virtual and maintain the network or through "undeploy" freeing resources network too. In the user interface can be in the same State if they turned off the virtual machines one by one.

  • Bug: iOS 10, Siri invades even lock screen with power off

    iOS 10, Siri invades even lock screen with power off

    Since the upgrade to iOS 10 (iPhone 5 s) siri appears when I forgetting to unlock my phone because I'm not used to this way to unlock yet. But siri on lock screen is disabled in the settings. I can close siri all together, but I don't consider it as an option.

    Is this a bug in the iOS 10 or did I miss something?

    Hello nick_ve,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that since you have upgraded to iOS 10, Siri starts each time you try to unlock your iPhone and Siri on the lock screen is disabled in the settings. I completely understand, because when I upgraded, it took me a few tries to get adjusted to unlock with the Home key. I'm more than happy to help you with this.

    Press the Home button on your iPhone 5s once unlocks the screen, and freezes for more than one second will activate Siri. It is good to keep this in mind when you unlock your iPhone.

    There is also an alternative solution I would like to share with you. You can disable this option in settings > general > accessibility > Home button. Turn the finger remains open. You can unlock the iPhone with Touch ID without having to press the Home button.

    Have a wonderful day!

  • HP Color LaserJet M277dw MFP: Disable auto power off after inactivity for HP Color LaserJet M277dw MFP

    What is the purpose of mobile printing solutions if you cannot activate your home printer?
    My printer stop automatically after 8 hours of inactivity and therefore makes it impossible for me to use mobile printing. The printer is connected via WLAN (without active ports to stop the closing).
    In the configuration, there are only options to stop after 2, 4 or 8 hours. No option on disabling of automatic shutdown.
    Pls do that for the people who work on the firmware updates, they must include an option to disable auto power off, many people are already complaining that and nothing has changed so far.
    Its just illogical. You make big announcements for HP eprint and other stuff, but your printers are not able to do so even if you could theoretically make eprint if your standing next to your printer all day.
    I just got this printer pluged and installed and already tired of this BS!
    I know that there is no solution, so just send it to the people who can change it.

    for all of you who read this post, I was in contact with the technical team of HP and they said that they don't give you the ability to disable auto power off on purpose, it is HPs energy-economy-policy to do and there are no plans to change this in the future
    in my case, I only WLAN's, yet is not automatically stop (although it should be), I guess I'm lucky that my router it ping every now and then and is therefore not stop
    If you can't fix it yourself with active ports and may not have at all, it will probably not option left than the back of the printer

  • Pavilion 15: Power off

    I have to use the shift with off switch key (on windows 8) to power the laptop off, if I use only only its turning off the display only, but is always cut power off button.

    Hello

    Try disabling the hybrid Windows 8 start - you can do the following.

    Right-click the battery icon, and select Power Options.  In the next window, click on "Choose what the power button" in the left pane.

    In the next window, click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" (close), then Remove the check mark from the box against 'Turn on a quick start (recommended) '.  Click on the button Save the settings, and then close all open windows and check if the laptop will now be shut down properly.

    If this has fixed the problem, it may be useful by turning the quick start back on - sometimes simply remove and re-create the file will solve the problem.

    Kind regards

  • Please explain power off icons

    On a 10 B8000 Yoga, when I choose to turn it off, I get a window which displays three lines:

    I think that I understand the first 3, but what the heck are the two trees for?

    I tried to select and cannot tell any difference in the operation of my tablet.

    (Btw, I called Lenovo support with this question THREE TIMES and after speaking to FOUR rehearsals and lots and lots of waiting time, nobody knows the answer, most don't know what screen I hate...)

    Hello

    It is new laptop and something like that should not happen under normal circumstances.
    The question is how you use your laptop. If the laptop is placed on the bed and the cooling fan is blocked I guess this happens due to overheating.

    The laptop is placed on the desktop when this happens?
    Are you sure that the underside cooling fan is not blocked somehow?
