Have you found yourself in the position of needing to change which vmkernel ports vMotion is enabled on? Maybe you have to storage vMotion a VM to a different cluster and need to make sure that vMotion is on the management interface. We have all run into issues with dedicated vMotion networks and storage vMotion to another cluster. Even when you enable this on the management interface if you…

PowerShell 7 で 実行しているPowerCLI 12を利用し 仮想マシンに対して並列で事前に定義したFunctionを実行する際 Use-PowerCLIContextとGet-PowerCLIContextとForEach-Object -Parallelを使用して 予めCSVファイル上の変数を読み込ませるにはどのようなコードを書けば良いですか?

CSVファイルを読み込んで、変数に格納します。

$csv = Import-Csv -Path "C:\path\to\file.csv"

ForEach-Object -Parallel で並列処理を行う前に、PowerCLIコンテキストを取得します。

$ctx = Get-PowerCLIContext Use-PowerCLIContext -Context $ctx

ForEach-Object -Parallelで並列処理を行います。 ここで、各仮想マシンに対して実行するFunctionに $csv を渡します。

$vmNames = "vm1", "vm2", "vm3" # 仮想マシン名のリスト $vmNames | ForEach-Object -Parallel { param($vmName, $csv) # ここにFunctionを記述 } -ArgumentList $_, $csv

-ArgumentList パラメータに $vmName と $csvを渡すことで、各スレッドで使用できるようにします。

上記の例では、$vmNames の各要素を $vmName に渡しています。

また、$csv は先に読み込んだCSVファイルを渡します。

VMware PowerCLI is a collection of PowerShell modules that provides cmdlets used to manage VMware environments. As a VMware Virtualization administrator, you’ll be able to perform most vSphere administrative tasks as well as automate many operations. A cmdlet is a lightweight command that PowerShell runtime invokes within the context of automation scripts that are provided at the command line. They are invoked programmatically through PowerShell APIs. The combination of VMware PowerCLI and PowerShell unlocks the power of automation more and more. PowerCLI provides an integration with VMware products such as vSphere ESXi, NSX, vCenter, vRealize Operations, VSAN, Horizon, and VMware Cloud platforms. Install VMware PowerCLI Tools on macOS The major requirement for this installation are: PowerShell Homebrew Internet connection Install Homebrew on macOS If you don’t have Homebrew already installed on your system, run the commands below to download it. /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" Confirm installation was successful by checking the version: $ brew --version Homebrew 3.6.3 Homebrew/homebrew-core (git revision cbc3731cfcd; last commit 2022-09-29) Homebrew/homebrew-cask (git revision c41e6a96ba; last commit 2022-09-29) Install PowerShell on macOS With the Homebrew package installed, we’ll use it to get PowerShell on macOS. $ brew install --cask powershell ==> Downloading https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.2.6/powershell-7.2.6-osx-x64.pkg ==> Downloading from https://objects.githubusercontent.com/github-production-release-asset-2e65be/49609581/83411cda-c621-4bfd-bc39-7668321cbc45?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIA ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Installing dependencies: openssl@3 ==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/openssl/3/manifests/3.0.5 ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/openssl/3/blobs/sha256:c4de05580e98de88ece952f04d2ea019d89043379d44a18970cf4a1e9d93c825 ==> Downloading from https://pkg-containers.githubusercontent.com/ghcr1/blobs/sha256:c4de05580e98de88ece952f04d2ea019d89043379d44a18970cf4a1e9d93c825?se=2022-09-29T19%3A40%3A00Z&sig=lo9lADMAkHz0GxIH ######################################################################## 100.0% ==> Installing openssl@3 ==> Pouring openssl@3--3.0.5.monterey.bottle.tar.gz 🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/openssl@3/3.0.5: 6,444 files, 28.2MB ==> Installing Cask powershell ==> Running installer for powershell; your password may be necessary.

#Vmware quickboot flag metadata vib check license

To use VMware vSAN, the server requires a vSphere license (per socket, per server) and a vCenter Server license. This cmdlet initializes a PowerShell runspace with a PowerCLI execution context retrieved from another PowerShell runspace. ATOTO is the first manufacturer to introduce true 7-inch car stereos with a minimal screen frame size of 172 mm 97 mm (fitting the mounting frames bought from Metra, Scosche, PAC, etc.). this boot flag is mainly used on AMD Hackintoshes, where choosing between 32-bit mode and 64-bit mode is. VMware Workstation can perform a PXE boot over the local network, as version 4. NOTE: VMware vSAN is licensed independently per socket, per server. This cmdlet retrieves the VMware PowerCLI execution context which you can use to simplify the use of PowerCLI in PowerShell runspaces. This VMware key is used to validate the VM Kernel and a small subset of the system that includes the Secure Boot Verifier, used to validate the VIBs. #cloud-config users : - default - name : akutz primary_group : akutz sudo : ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL groups : sudo, wheel lock_passwd : true ssh_authorized_keys : - ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAACAQDE0c5FczvcGSh/tG4iw+Fhfi/O5/EvUM/96js65tly4++YTXK1d9jcznPS5ruDlbIZ30oveCBd3kT8LLVFwzh6hepYTf0YmCTpF4eDunyqmpCXDvVscQYRXyasEm5olGmVe05RrCJSeSShAeptv4ueIn40kZKOghinGWLDSZG4+FFfgrmcMCpx5YSCtX2gvnEYZJr0czt4rxOZuuP7PkJKgC/mt2PcPjooeX00vAj81jjU2f3XKrjjz2u2+KIt9eba+vOQ6HiC8c2IzRkUAJ5i1atLy8RIbejo23+0P4N2jjk17QySFOVHwPBDTYb0/0M/4ideeU74EN/CgVsvO6JrLsPBR4dojkV5qNbMNxIVv5cUwIy2ThlLgqpNCeFIDLCWNZEFKlEuNeSQ2mPtIO7ET圎L2Cz5y/7AIuildzYMc6wi2bofRC8HmQ7rMXRWdwLKWsR0L7SKjHblIwarxOGqLnUI+k2E71YoP7SZSlxaKi17pqkr0OMCF+kKqvcvHAQuwGqyumTEWOlH6TCx1dSPrW+pVCZSHSJtSTfDW2uzL6y8k10MT06+pVunSrWo5LHAXcS91htHV1M1UrH/tZKSpjYtjMb5+RonfhaFRNzvj7cCE1f3Kp8UVqAdcGBTtReoE8eRUT63qIxjw03a7VwAyB2w+9cu1R9/vAo8SBeRqw= note this step requires that the VM be powered off.

#Vmware quickboot flag metadata vib check Patch#

The patch bundle does not need to be uploaded to ESXi host, it can reside on the system that is running the vihostupdate command. You may choose to leave off −−password and you will be prompted to enter your credentials. Here is an example of using the remote vihostupdate utility for an ESXi host, you will need to specify the ESXi host using the −−server parameter and −−username/−−password for remote authenication. The patch bundle needs to be uploaded to ESX host using scp or winSCP and then specifying the full path on the command-line: Here is an example of using esxupdate on a classic ESX host. You should always refer to that for more details and information for different methods of applying a patch. Note: When you download patches from VMware, there is an associated VMware KB article and it provides a link to the patch management documentation. Or Get-ESXCLI with the local command referenced in this table.

#Vmware quickboot flag metadata vib check update#

Here is a table summarizing all available command-line options based on the version of ESX(i) you are running:Įsxcli software vib update −−depot=/vmfs/volumes// Note: If you are using vSphere Hypervisor (Free ESXi), you will not be able to leverage any of the the remote CLI’s but you can still use the local CLI. InstallVMHostPatch – Remote utility using PowerCLI to manage/install patches for ESX(i) 4.0 and 4.1.ESXCLI – Remote utility to manage/install patches for ESXi 5.0 (patch capability introduced in vSphere 5 for ESXi 5.0 hosts only).vihostupdate – Remote utility to manage/install patches for ESX(i) 4.0 & 4.1.vihostupdate35 – Remote utility to manage/install patches for ESXi 3.5.ESXCLI – Local utility found on ESXi 5.0 hosts that can be used manage/install patches.esxupdate – Local utility found on classic ESX hosts to manage/install patches.However, it is still possible to patch/upgrade your ESX(i) host using the command-line without the need of VUM, but you will have to manually identify the patch dependencies and ensure host compliance.ĭepending on the version of ESX or ESXi you are running, you may have several options that could include local and/or remote command-line utilities that are available in following four forms: An example of this could be 1-2 hosts running at a ROBO (remote office/branch office) site or single test/dev host in a home or office lab where VUM is not available. Though not all environments have the luxury of running vCenter Server to manage their ESX(i) hosts. Technical Marketing EngineerĪs you know, when it comes to automating patch management for your vSphere infrastructure, we highly recommend leveraging our vSphere Update Manager (VUM) which is part of the vSphere vCenter Suite to help simplify the update process.

Launch the vSphere Web Client (Flash), select your vCenter, and go to Update Manager. It seems this is one last part of the UI that needs to transition to the modern HTML5 web-based interface. Where do you enable Quick Boot? ^įor now, the only way to enable Quick Boot is to use the Flash-based vSphere Web Client. Even if your hardware is compatible with Quick Boot, the server might "freeze" with the error message "LoadESX in progress" during the boot process. If you have an unsupported configuration, you might have problems. When using a VMware virtual storage area network (vSAN), it's imperative to follow the hardware compatibility list (HCL) to ensure you have a supported firmware/driver combination. esxupdate: imageprofile: INFO: Adding VIB virtuallyGhettobootbankghettoVCB1.0.0-0.0.0 to ImageProfile HP-ESXi-5.5.0-Update2-iso-5.77. The idea from VMware is great, and it can make you save a lot of time when patching VMware infrastructures because many servers can spend significant time during POST. Quick Boot is disabled in the Update Manager-you can easily check this in the UI (for now through the Flash-based web client only).

#Vmware quickboot flag metadata vib check drivers#

No other non-certified drivers loaded on your host.

No vmklinux drivers loaded on your host.

This cmdlet initializes a PowerShell runspace with a PowerCLI execution context retrieved from another PowerShell runspace. Using Quick Boot is supported with a limited set of hardware platforms, drivers, and is not supported on ESXi hosts that use TPM or passthru devices. This cmdlet retrieves the VMware PowerCLI execution context which you can use to simplify the use of PowerCLI in PowerShell runspaces. Passthrough devices: Another constraint is you can't use Quick Boot with any passthrough devices configured for VMs on your host. The Quick Boot of ESXi hosts is an option that allows Update Manager to reduce the time a host remediation takes by skipping the physical reboot of the host. The VMware vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager automates the LCM of the vRealize Suite. Here is an example of using the remote vihostupdate utility for an ESXi host, you will need to specify the. The patch bundle needs to be uploaded to ESX host using scp or winSCP and then specifying the full path on the command-line: esxupdate bundleESX400-200907001.zip update. Update standalone ESXi hosts using images. Here is an example of using esxupdate on a classic ESX host. Run vCenter Server interoperability reports D. Host is not configured to use a Trusted Platform Module (TPM): You cannot have a TPM and Quick Boot active at the same time. Upgrade VMware Tools and virtual machine hardware C. Perhaps a future BIOS upgrade from your hardware manufacturer will allow Quick Boot, but nothing is certain. In such a case, there is nothing you can do about it. Host platform is unsupported: One of the first constraints is there's no support for a host platform. My hardware is not compatible with VMware Quick Boot What are the constraints and requirements for Quick Boot? ^

vSphere 8.0 Update 1 の NFS マルチ接続

今後のvSphere 8.0 Update 1リリースには、多くのエキサイティングな新機能が含まれており、その一部については、vSphere 8.0 Update 1 の発売発表を取り上げたThe Unexplored TerritoryおよびVirtuallySpeaking Podcasts を聞くことで学ぶことができます。注目されているコア ストレージ プラットフォーム機能の 1 つは、以下のスクリーンショットに示すように、ユーザーが特定の VMKernel インターフェイスを選択して分離できるようにする、待望の NFS 機能です。

これは実際、次期 vSphere 8.0 Update 1 リリースの一部となるもう 1 つの興味深い NFS 機能を思い出させました。これは、ESXi が単一の NFS v3 ボリュームに対して複数の TCP 接続をサポートするもので、この NFS に詳しい人にとっては nconnect とも呼ばれます。容量。

この新しい NFS 機能に興味がある人にとって、この設定は最初は ESXi ホスト上で vSphere API または ESXCLI を直接使用することによってのみ構成可能であることに注意することが重要です。

vSphere API

既存の vSphere API createNasDatastore() が更新され、使用する接続数を指定する 新しい接続プロパティが追加されました。デフォルトでは、最大 4 つの接続を構成できますが、ESXCLI を使用して変更できる/NFS/MaxConnectionsPerDatastoreと呼ばれる次の ESXi 詳細設定を更新することで、最大 8 つに増やすこともできます。

以下は、PowerCLI を使用し、NFS v3 データストアをアタッチする新しい vSphere API プロパティを示す例です。

$datastoreSys = Get-View (Get-VMHost 192.168.30.89).ExtensionData.ConfigManager.DatastoreSystem $nfsSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostNasVolumeSpec $nfsSpec.RemoteHost = "192.168.30.6" $nfsSpec.RemotePath = "/mnt/nfs" $nfsSpec.LocalPath = "NFS" $nfsSpec.AccessMode = "readWrite" $nfsSpec.Type = "NFS" $nfsSpec.Connections = 4 $datastoreSys.CreateNasDatastore($nfsSpec)

注： この新しい vSphere API プロパティにアクセスするには、vSphere 8.0 Update 1 と互換性のある新しいバージョンの PowerCLI 13.1 が必要です。

ESXCLI

NFS データストアに接続するための既存の ESXCLI コマンドも更新され、 --connections (-c)という新しい引数が追加されました。これにより、以下の例に示すように接続数を指定できるようになります。

esxcli storage nfs add -H 192.168.30.6 -s /mnt/nfs -v NFS -c 4

最後に、ESXCLIオプションを使用する際の注意点として、NFSボリュームが既にマウントされた後に接続数を増やすことができるため、vSphere 8.0 Update 1へのアップグレード後にこの新機能を利用することが非常に容易になりました。

最初の NFS マウントに接続が 1 つしかなく、それを 4 に増やしたいとします。次の ESXCLI コマンドを実行して接続数を変更します。

esxcli storage nfs param set -v NFS -c 4

以下は、上記のワークフローのスクリーンショットです。

注: 接続数を減らしたい場合は、まず NFS ボリュームをアンマウントし、次に必要な接続数で再マウントする必要があります。
