Add disk on a specific virtual device node while the VM is online
Hi all,
Is it possible to add a new vHDD on a specific virtual device node e.g. (0:z) while the VM is online?
When creating a new disk with "New-HardDisk" I have no parameter for that. The disk is just added to the next free virtual device node on the SCSI controller:
New-HardDisk -VM $node -CapacityGB 2 -StorageFormat thin -Controller "SCSI-Controller 0"
If the VM is off, I can do it with "ExtensionData.ReconfigVM_Task" and the new specification, but I need it while the VM is online.
Thanks,
Sepp

AD group rename has to be applied in vCenter permission
Hello All,
Have an AD group called Test. With that group name in vCenter at Datacenter, folders, cluster and datastore permissions are provided.
Lets say now AD team is renaming the Test group name to Test1 group name.
Let me know any scripts to apply the new group name(Test1) inplace of old name(Test) where the permission applied.
Thanks in adavce,

Updating when there are dependencies between VMs
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to upgrade the hosts in a non-HA cluster where each host has a single VM and the VMs are dependent on the rest of the VMs in the cluster, such that only a single VM (i.e. host) can be down at a time. The VMs are part of a HA product that can't be failed over at the vmware level because each VM has persisted data that is required to maintain proper functionality (like a vSAN cluster). We need to update hosts sequentially (again, like a vSAN cluster) and after a VM comes up, we need some amount of time before the next host can be taken down. Is there an API (or a way to invoke a script that we supply) that would allow the hosts (or VUM) to query the VMs and see if they're "ready" to be taken down?
Thanks,
Kevin

PowerCli .NET and Connection status
Dear,
i'm using VMWare.Vim library for .NET application, to inspect my hypervisor. Usually i start a request with Connect() method,querying items and Disconnect(), and all works.
I would like to avoid Connect/Disconnect every time to improve performance but i notes there's no property o method to check if connection is alive (just for example the network fall down).
So I would like to know if is there a suggestion to check connection status or if i must connect/disconnect every time.
Thanks

SRM Reporting using PowerCLI
So, I'm back to this old Chesnutt of trying to get accurate SRM Reports using PowerCLI.
I've the following setup
- Protection Group Name = MyTestPG
- Protection Group Protection Status in Web Client = Not Configured(this is deliberate for testing, I've attached a .iso)
- Recovery Plan Name = MyTestRP
- Recovery Plan Recovery Status in Web Client = Ready
Using PowerCLI, I have the following
Connect-VIServer -Server $vcenter -Credential $cred | Out-Null
Connect-SrmServer -Credential $cred -RemoteCredential $cred -OutVariable srm
$srmApi = $srm.ExtensionData
$protectionGroups = $srmApi.Protection.ListProtectionGroups()
$testPgName = MyTestPG
# To Test 1 PG
$test = $protectionGroups | where {$_.getinfo().name -like $testPgName} | Get-Unique
foreach ($item in $test) {
$item = $_
$protectionGroupName = $item.GetInfo().name
$protectionGroupState = $item.GetProtectionState()
$recoveryPlanName = $item.ListRecoveryPlans().GetInfo().Name
$recoveryPlanState = $item.ListRecoveryPlans().GetInfo().state
}
My issue is that at this point, $ProtectionGroupStatereturns a value of Ready.
This is not what's seen in the Web Client. Why does the Web Client show Not Configured but, the PowerCLI output shows Ready ?
Before continuing with the script,, including VM Names, VM Status, outputting results to either .csv / .html. I'd like to correct this issue first.

Failed Import-vapp to dvswitch

I'm trying to automate the import of virtual machines to inventory. But the error is issued when starting Import-Vapp command.

The problem is that I only used dvswitch
Once I create vswitch - the problem disappears and everything is imported properly.
Mapping the network does not help.
Tell me, is there any way to import without creating vswitch?
Or is there some other method of automatic import the VMs?

Multipathing Policy - Fixed with preferred target - for PowerCLI N00b
Hello,
I have been looking for a script to change the Preferred Path Policy to FIXED on about 30+ 5.5 ESXi hosts with about 35 datastores, alternating between the two HBAs on each host.
What I would like is a simple command where I don't have to worry about the complexity of finding variables. While I realize how powerful PowerCli is, I have not worked with PowerCli.
I just want to say something like, "Set preferred path on ESXi1 for naa.datastoreA to FIXED and -preferred path is on HBA1-Port1". I have no problem changing these parameters for each command as long as I can run one command after another.
Any help would be appreciated, and this would be a great starting place for learning a bit of PowerCli.
Thank you!
