Comment on Powershell script to ping servers by Andrew

Andrew — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:28:47 +0000

Hi folks, does anyone know how to change the number of echo requests sent before a success or failure result is logged (and hence emailed.) Ideally I’d like it to email only if it drops 10 icmp packets in a row.

Comment on PowerCLI: Update-VMHost Function by Richard Garrow

Richard Garrow — Thu, 17 May 2012 13:56:01 +0000

Hey thanks for creating this function very nice.. I do have a question if you are doing a cluster will it migrate all the guests off the host server then patch it. I figure it will but had to ask just in case. I do not always have a test cluster to run it on so I did not want to do it have a 150 guest just drop off line..

Thanks again..
Rich G

Comment on vCOPS 5: HTTP Status 404 - by swang

Yes we tried the same thing, this is only a temporary fix, you going to get the same problem again in few weeks time. Appearently Vmware does not know how to roll up the vcops logs, so the disks space will always get filled. You will just be throw more and more storage, due to the size of your environment. Good luck.

Comment on PowerCLI: Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) info v2: Analyze data with Excel by Amit Kumar Das

Amit Kumar Das — Wed, 16 May 2012 07:22:16 +0000

thats a very good command to get the vdisk info, but I’d need few more info –> free space and total disk space used and volume name like – C:\, D:\ drive etc…

Output should look like

VMname Disk Path Disk capacity Disk Free space Device Label Datastore Disk filename Disk mode Thin provisioned
VM01 C:\ 30GB 15GB Hard disk 1 DT-R5-OS01 VM01/VM01.vmdk persistent False
VM01 D:\ 40GB 10GB Hard disk 2 DT-R1-ST01 VM01/VM02.vmdk persistent True

Comment on PowerCLI: Get Running VM’s per VMHost and more by afokkema

afokkema — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 07:46:01 +0000

You need to set drs to manual before you put the host into maintenance mode. This is also possible with PowerCLI. But remeber, don’t disable drs, ot will remove all the resourcepools.

Comment on PowerCLI: Get Running VM’s per VMHost and more by talltomd

talltomd — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 15:58:40 +0000

Working on a script to suspend my VM’s, put hosts into maintenance mode, and then shut down hosts. The problem is that when I put the hosts into maintenance mode they vMotion all the VM’s, which I don’t want. When I investigate the command there is supposed to be an -Evacuate switch which will control that behavior. However, when I try -Evacuate $false I get an error.

Do you know how to put a host into mainenance mode WITHOUT vMotioning the VMs?

Thanks,
Tom
