vSphere 4: command-line single vmdk svmotion

Hello

I can't find a way to do it.

Let's say I have a virtual machine with 5 vmdk

I want to be able to move among the 5 vmdk in another data store

In the past, there was a svmotion.pl but I can not find...

Any ideas?

SVMotion.pl is part of the VMware vSphere CLI. It's a different product of VMware vSphere PowerCLI. If you open VMware vSphere CLI you will find svmotion.pl in the bin directory.

Best regards, Robert

         When turned off (default), the disk is split into multiple 2GB files.
     -F: If set, the disk is exported as "flat" disk, with no optimizations.
         When turned off (default), the exported disk files will be more compact as
         unused space in the disk image is not included in the  exported file.
    
    Examples:
    +) Do a full VM style backup of vm "foo.bar.com" across the SAN,
       talk to ESX/VC host "wisdom.bar.com" as user "vc" with
       password "foobar". - Export will go to "d:\backups":
    
       vcbMounter -h wisdom.bar.com -u vc -p foobar -a ipaddr:foo.bar.com \
                  -r d:\backups\foo-fullVM -t fullvm
    
       Full VM backups export an entire virtual machine into a set of
       files within a directory. Backing up this file set allows for the
       entire virtual machine to be restored later on.
    
    +) Do an automatic unmount of the export just created:
    
       vcbMounter -h wisdom.bar.com -u vc -p foobar \
                  -U d:\backups\foo-fullVM
    
       An automatic unmount will work for both file-level and full VM mounts.
       (A full VM unmount operation just has to delete the exported files.)

  • Update to the ARD El Capitan command line

    I use the ARD to manage a growing number of Mac on a single network.  I'm up to 40 now and I'm looking to upgrade the existing installation of Yosemite to El Capitan.  I googled high and low and can't seem to find an answer - the question is-

    With the help of the ARD-tools (installation and unix command line, etc.) is there an effective or recommended to upgrade all 40 machines without having to touch each?

    ARD is really updated the operating system as possibly other related - including applications Apple components. There is a major difference between the upgrade and update and if you tried to use ARD to the upgrade you would effectively disable the client ARD, stopping the upgrade.

    There are a number of ways to all of your mac estate 'upgrade' without needing to touch each one, and most will involve having a NetInstall/NetBoot server on your network. TheNetBoot Service comes with the.app that buy you from the App Store. All methods will be asked to download the installer from El Capitan first. It's to you how you want to go about this, but using the network, but also the OS X Server to deploy the upgrade, as well as the wealth of other services and tools available once you move to the server can be a little too far - no insult intended - for all of your skills? If this is the case for you then maybe simply by downloading the installer once, the cloning of an external hard drive (or a number of external hard drives) and to upgrade as it would be best for your situation?

    Apple gives the the terminal commands for the creation of a bootable El Capitan installer in this article:

  • Command line

    Using Firefox, Aurora and all night on the same machine:

    Path for Firefox is: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" p - Ian
    Path for Aurora is: "C:\Program Files\Aurora\firefox.exe" PEI Camelot
    Path for every night is: "C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe" PEI conducting

    It is, if Firefox is running and as I click on the icon of the Aurora, another Firefox window opens and not Aurora; for even if I click on the icon for every night, another Firefox window opens and not every night. The paths are clearly separated. The Profile Manager has the correct user name.

    How can I set the three concurrent sessions to be opened on a single machine with their username each? Am I missing something?

    You use the -no-remote command line option to open a second instance of Firefox using another profile and the target application. For example, if "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" p - Ian is open, use this command line to start your profile conducting:

    "C:\Program Files\Nightly\firefox.exe" -p BetaTest -no-remote

  • Unicode character on the command line

    I have a folder that contains a non-ASCII character, "registered sign" (®), which can be typed in a Terminal by using the-r option.

    It is U + 00AE, and as an 8-bit character, it is 174 decimal. I want to be able to enter this character on the command line without

    typing Option, because I have to build a Terminal command using an application that

    is not respectful of Unicode. So option-r helps me create a string that contains this character.

    For example, in the Terminal, I made a folder in ~ with as its name in full (I typed a r while pressing the option key):

    > mkdir ~ /.

    I can list help

    > ls ~ /.

    but I have to be able to do so * without using any modifier key * (as option).

    I thought I could use something like (after cd ~)

    > ls \302\256

    or

    > ls \u00AE

    or

    > ls \xc2\xae

    but I could not do the shell to interpret what I type as registered r symbol. Everything what I enter is interpreted

    literally as individual characters rather that, for example, the \xC2 is considered a single character. I also tried different combinations

    quotes as double the backslash, but I continue get "No such file or directory".

    How can I represent this character on the command line without modifier keys? I'm on El Capitan, OS X 10.11.2, running bash 3.2.

    Have you tried zsh instead of bash?

    I think bash supports \u starting only 4.2

  • Read command line arguments to TestStand sequence start, moving within the sequence

    Start a sequence by using a batch file and add command line arguments. Example: "MySequence.seq Arg1.

    Now, within the sequence I want to read this first (and another) argument "Arg1".

    There is a stage in the ActiveX for that, giving a type (object reference) channels, see screenshot.

    Question: How to use this reference to read the argument?

    Honestly I don't think that you are using it correctly.  I think that your application in your UI Manager must handle this.  However, to answer your question:

    According to the TestStand help CommandLineArguments property is of type string.  It comes to aid of TestStand as well:

    Channels
    A collection of strings. You can get a reference to the collection of the ApplicationMgr.CommandLineArguments property, the ExpressionEdit.GetValidEvaluationTypes and ExpressionEdit.SetValidEvaluationTypes methods and the ApplicationMgr.ProcessUserCommandLineArguments event.

    Properties
    Count (read-only)
    Agenda

    Methods
    Add
    Claire
    Insert
    Delete

    Looks like you can use activeX not use Count or properties of the element to retrieve a single argument.

    Hope this helps,

  • Go (argc and argv) command line argument to a LabVIEW built the shared library.

    Hello

    I correctly use this trick to create a LabVIEW application that runs on Linux without X display.

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/5D6EC36DCF43343786257449006919E6

    I would like to know if it is possible to pass command line arguments (. / TEST A B C D) directly in the library shared without having to pass arguments using an array of strings that would need to write code using DSNewHandle, DSSetHandleSize, extract arguments and... (I'm not proficient in C, but if I don't have the choice, I'll do and improve my skills of C).

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])

            return 0;
    }
    

    Thank you

    Michel

    Well, you can always flatten it into a single string separated by a space and pass like that. Reverse basically what made the operating system, when he calls your main function with command line parameters. And while the first element of the array is always the name of the program itself you can just ignore that here, but then put shaped everything in a single string.

  • Remote command fails when cross Foglight, but ok using command line

    Try to perform an action simple remote command when a rule triggers the file /sharedScripts of monitoring system.  When the alarm is triggered, an email is sent and action of remote command to find and remove the logs more than 10 days is supposed to work.

    The command to run is:

    find/sharedScripts/set - name "* .log" \ (-type f-mtime + 10 \)-exec rm {} \;) ""

    This command works well from the command line on the server, but when it is run by a remote control action, we get the following exception:

    2015-07-20 19:04:30.556 WARN [Action-4-wire-3856] com.quest.nitro.service.action.impl.command.RemoteCommandAction - the remote execution failed on the host prod - 108.llbean.com for the command "find/sharedScripts/set - name" * .log "------(-type f-mtime + 10 \)-exec rm {}------;)" "with the following error: 1.»

    I tried many iterations of escape characters, single/double quotes, etc...

    Has anyone else tried something like this?  I understand that I could create a script that has this command in it, but if I can avoid that I would because a similar process will be implemented through a hundred servers with different commands according to the system of files in place. In this regard, I would like to manage everything centrally if I can.

    Hi Golan-

    Thanks for the reply.  I got a response back from support today and it turns out that some avoidance that is required to run the command from the command line has been the cause of the problem running like a remote control action.

    This command works well on the command line:

    find/sharedScripts/set - name "* .log" \ (-type f-mtime + 10 \)-exec rm {} \;) ""

    but the avoidance of parentheses problem in Foglight. The following seems to work as a remote command:

    find/sharedScripts/set - name "* .log"(-type f-mtime+10)-exec rm {} \; "."

    I get an ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED (AdminServer is running according to the command line). I had to enter the username and password in order to start my AdminServer from the command line, so I don't know who was right because the AdminServer started and is running.

    2 if I go in my area bin (c:\wls\domains\randy\bin) directory and run stopWebLogic.cmd I get the error:

  • How can I print spare part in a PDF file from command line?

    For my organization, we have a lot of .pdf files, each of which contains several .pdf files in their midst as attachments (i.e. a single .pdf file that contains other .pdf files). I know that I can print a .pdf file with the following command via the command prompt.

    "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Acrobat ' / n/t 'filetoprint.pdf' '\\printerserver\printername '.

    Although this example shows the PDF in question, it does print all attachments in the file 'filetoprint.pdf '. I've scoured google and these forums, but I did not seem to find a switch or anything that would allow me to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? It must be done by the command line. I'd appreciate any help! Thank you!

    ~ Justin

    After much research, I found the answer. Start with, rather than using a .bat file, I used the wizard of the Action to set up a script. Then, I put the script to process all the files in a given folder. I changed the folder that will contain all the files in .pdf (including attachments) that I wanted to deal with. Then, I wrote the following javascript code:

    var d = this.dataObjects;

    pp var = this.getPrintParams ();

    pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent;

    pp.printerName = "\\\printerserver\\printer";

    This.Print (pp);

    var oDoc;

    for (var i = 0; i)< d.length;="">
    {

    oDoc = this.openDataObject (d [i] .name);

    oDoc.print (pp);

    }

    Yes, it isn't command line as I originally wanted, but there is still work for what I need to do. It looks like you can trigger an action from a VBA Macro or something, even though at this point, I think it's more trouble that it's worth. in any case, I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem!
