Where the cmdlet "Get-USBController? (Even with Remove - and new-)

The command ' get-usbdevice "(also" Remove-UsbDevice ") should recover USB devices that may be located on a virtual machine." " The problem is that cmdlt shows only USB devices, if a USB device is connected. It will not report anything if the virtual machine has added a USB device, but it is not currently connected to anything (IE just a USB controller).

Now there are other ways that I can get if the VM has the unwanted material:

$unwantedhw = “floppy|serial|usb”
(Get-VM $VMname | Get-View).Config.Hardware.Device | Select -Expand DeviceInfo | Select Label, Summary | where {$_.Label –match $unwantedhw}

I just thought that instead of having to go back to the shenanigans of get - view, I could do it directly with 1 command as the command "Get-UsbDevice" should do in my opinion. I was able to try to write my own function (IE Get USBController) for it and store it in my profile, but I don't have time on the atmosphere of the hand.

Someone at - it else created this function or get updates for the PowerCLI to include in a newer version of the feature?

Versions of PowerCLI:

VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.0.1 build 581491

VMware AutoDeploy PowerCLI component 5.0 build 544967

VMware ImageBuilder PowerCLI component 5.0 build 544967

VMware vCloud Director PowerCLI component 1.5 build 581492

License of VMware PowerCLI component 5.0 build 544881

VMware vSphere PowerCLI component 5.0 build 581435

VSphere VMware Update Manager PowerCLI 5.0 build 432001

Try this.

This is my seminal function of Get-UsbController.

function Get-UsbController{
  param(
  [CmdletBinding()]
  [parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true)]
  [PSObject[]]${VM}
  )

  process{
    foreach($vmObj in $vm){
      if($vmObj -is [System.String]){
        $vmObj = Get-VM -Name $vmObj      }
      $vmObj.ExtensionData.COnfig.Hardware.Device |      where {$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualUSBController]} | %{
        New-Object PSOBject -Property @{
          Name = $_.DeviceInfo.Label          Summary = $_.DeviceInfo.Summary          AutoConnectDevices = $_.AutoCOnnectDevices          EhciEnabled = $_.EhciENabled          BusNumber = $_.BusNumber          UnitNumber = $_.UnitNumber        }
      }
    }
  }
}

    This can happen because of the < center > element that does not have a height and a width specified. Don't forget to specify the dimensions for all containers if you use percentages, otherwise you can end up with 90% of 0 or a default value.

  • Help with the cmdlet "get-floppydrive.

    Hey all

    Need help please? I'm trying to create a little script to check if a virtual machine has a floppy drive. I had a quick glance at the cmdlet GET-floppydrive and pretty much know how to check the configuration to a floppy disk "connected" (i.e. of connection state to connect to poweron e.t.c). I want to know is how an abouts to go check if a floppy drive is period

    I thought it might be something like that, but I think that its probably wrong.

    $vm = get - vm server1

    If ($vm.floppydrives - eq $True) {}

    Write to $vm.name

    }

    Any ideas?

    Munster

    You were near.

    $vm = get-vm server1

if ($vm.floppydrives){
Write $vm.name
}

    You actually test it this way, what if $vm.floppydrivers is equal to $null or not.

    If there is no floppy drives that the property will be $null and the test will evaluate to $false.

  • Using the cmdlet Get-stats for the problems of performance of ESXi

    I need to detect the bottlenecks (if any) causing poor performance with a (free) 5.5 ESXi host.

    Can I identify a subset of the counters I should follow to identify possible bottlenecks in the fastest way possible?

    Everything depends of course.

  • Question about the cmdlet Get-VIProperty (ideally oriented @ LucD)

    Hello everyone

    Sorry for the title of discussion, but once you read on you will understand where I come from.

    I am reorganizing ALL my scripts powercli, functions, advanced et al. to TRY to become more 'effective' (dare I say) in my script. So to start I thought useful the cmdlet "Get-VIProperty" has been and I wanted to use much more. Did some autour research and found a great download LucD had prepared on his blog of a variety of different VIProperties. Directed practice how they were immediately started to use what he blogged about his position.

    My question is this (and its powershell probably more than PowerCLI "maybe"): when I am trying to add in the VIProperties in my "profile (so they load into a starting window of console PS) I go in the following example:

    New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name _NumberOfVmotions-value {param ($cluster) $cluster. ExtensionData.Summary.NumVmotions} - Force

    It works when entered in a session of PS, however, when I load the following:

    New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster - value {$TotalPCPU = 0 $Args [0] |} Get-VMHost | foreach {$TotalPCPU += $_.} {NumCPU} $TotalPCPU}-Force

    However, when I load it as follows:

    New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster

    -Value {}

    $TotalPCPU = 0

    $Args [0] | Get-VMHost | {foreach}

    $TotalPCPU += $_. NumCPU

    }

    $TotalPCPU

    } - Force

    THIS WORKS.

    I know this may sound pedantic, but I would like to organize my viproperties like below, so they are a little more clear on the page. That is why the requirment to see if the above commands could be executed as 'one-liners ':

    # NumberOfHosts

    New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name ' _NumberOfHosts

    -The value {param ($cluster) @($cluster.) {Extensiondata.Host). County} - BasedOnExtensionProperty 'To host' - Force

    # NumberOfVMs

    New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name ' _NumberOfVMs

    -The value {param ($cluster)($cluster.)} Extensiondata.Host | % {Get-view $_} | Measure-object - InputObject {$_.} Vm.Count} - sum). Sum} '

    -BasedONextensionProperty 'host' - Force

    So if it's not possible it's fine - I just wanted to be able to confirm, it's all.

    As usual, thank you very much in advance for help

    Concerning

    Munster99

    If you want to add two other PowerShell/PowerCLI commands on a single line, you must use the semicolon to separate them:

    New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster - value {$TotalPCPU = 0; $Args [0] |} Get-VMHost | foreach {$TotalPCPU += $_.} NumCPU}; $TotalPCPU} - force

  • For a recent funeral where the mourners were mourners came from far and from all directions, I wanted to tag a photo of a card to send an email to allow them to find the crematorium (GPS was not an option for most!). This has resulted in

    For a recent funeral where the mourners were mourners came from far and from all directions, I wanted to tag a photo of a card to send an email to allow them to find the crematorium (GPS was not an option for most!). This has led many dotted lines of drawing and my usual 'technical fudge' draw a regular straight line then DAB the brush with the approximate background color at a regular interval would not be easy with the number of lines to draw. I look in vain for an option for me to do and was about to return to my "fudge" when I found the features of Style / dotted. Asked me if I wanted to replace the current Styles with those of dotted styles. Thas here no explanation of what he meant-Nevertheless, I selected Yes. My first line 'test' was off the card and several pixels wide I would have used - it was released as a sort of cross between an old 1960s DP Punch tape and an offset miniature piano keyboard. Clear and straight to the Styles/Reset Styles, I chose to replace the default style, thinking to be the inverse of the previous question. No luck - two months later, I can't yet draw a regular straight line. Outside re - install, how to return to where I was? I use Photoshop CS4 11.0 er

    Ianjalex

    On the tool Options bar, right click (Cmd + click on Mac, if I recall) button (far left) of the tool presets > reset all tools.

    You'd probably want to chart a path to achieve what you want (with dotted lines). Google or Bing "shot on way photoshop cs4" for more details.
