I populate my variable with a list of my templates....
$MyTemplates = get-template | Select-Object Name | ft -HideTableHeaders
I get a list of....
server2019_gui
server2019_cor
server2016_gui
server2016_cor
server2016 domaincont_remotesite
server2016 domaincont_homesite
Problem is there are a bunch of spaces at the end of each line.
How do you get rid of those spaces? I tried $MyTemplates.Trim() but no luck and I get errors or I am using that totally wrong........lol
Thanks
sorry about the script layout. not sure how to make it pretty in this post. the output CSV also has this:
| #TYPE Selected.VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.VM.UniversalVirtualMachineImpl |
| Name |
| SERVER1 |
| SERVER2 |
You are using the Format-Table cmdlet, which is intended to format text going to the console, to populate a variable.
You should do this as follows
$MyTemplates=Get-Template|Select-Object-ExpandProperty Name
Hello,
I try to restore my old 10.12 system virtually.
I manged to setup a 10.12 Guest OS
In setting I set the virtaul drive size to 905GB
despite that I always get an out of diskspace error when I try to restore my old system (I tried both, just a dmg and a TimeMachine Backup)
What do I miss here?
thanks
admilon
The extra info in the CSV can be avoided by using the NoTypeInformation switch.
The error you are getting could perhaps be caused by one or more VMs not having that custom attribute.
A screenshot of the error would be a bit more helpful.
Try like this first (I added the parameter to ignore the error if the custom attribute does not exist)
$i=0
ForEach($vCenterin$vCenters){
$i+=1
Write-Progress-Activity "Processing VCenter $($vCenter.name)" -PercentComplete ($i/$vCenters.count*100)-Id 0
Connect-VIServer-Server $vCenter.name
}
$excludedValues="Windows 7","Windows 10"
Get-VM|
Where-Object{(Get-Annotation-Entity $_-CustomAttribute "flag"-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Value -eq$true-and
$excludedValues-notcontains(Get-Annotation-Entity $_-CustomAttribute "custom2"-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Value }|

As previously mentioned, I can confirm with my environment with hosts upgraded to ESXi 6.7 U3 this is indeed resolved:
"
PR 2287232: Virtual machines with Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1809 might start slowly or stop responding during the start phase if they are running on a VMFS6 datastore
If a virtual machine is with Windows 10 Version 1809, has snapshots, and runs on a VMFS6 datastore, the virtual machine might either start slowly or stop responding during the start phase.
"
I have windows 10 1903 vm's. Built on vmfs 6 storage. vm hardward 15, tools 10.3.10 or 11.0. Multiple snapshots. No delays in widows boot time. Instant Clone deployments work perfectly fine.
If it is an production environment definitely version 7.6. 8.0 for now has a lot of bugs. As you noticed it has only few weeks. For version 7.x you have a lot of articles, KB etc. which could help you in trouble. But 8.0....you don't know what to expect
But it is only my opinion.
It has to be somewhere Maybe on Home page?
Or give me info what version do you have and I will try to find it.
Youre right, this is only a PoC.
I am currently running 4CPU yeah. If I up to 8 cores, they still use an insane amount of CPU.
But they are still using 7GHz CPU total for 4 CPU.
Also when doing TCPDUMP on one of the management hosts, I am getting about 1200 packets every second from the two other hosts on port 9000. I guess this is sync and API calls. But 1200 packets every second, is that normal?
This HOST is running:
Still, java command is still using all the CPU, with 8 cores...

Why is that? Which version of gcc does vmware-workstation expect me to have?
thanks lucD.
The error that I'm sharing is the error getting shown on the powershell screen. is there some way i can output any errors to a csv file with more information? perhaps with the VM(s) that are causing the problem?
A screenshot of that error would be more useful than the text dump.
And yes, if you know for which VMs the error occurs, check if these VMs have both Custom Attributes.
So even with 32G ram and 8CPU, which is more than "medium" I am still having huge CPU usage.
Looking at packet count and the picture in last post, you can see its used 600MB of data for only ~20 minute uptime. And I have no VM's or networks connected to these...
So you're running 2 managers (not 3) and you're doing this in a nested vSphere setup?
daphnissov click picture, its three managers.
Yes, its a nested environment, virtualization with exposed hardware for cpu enabled. Isn't that what VMware themself use for their labs in their online classrooms?
I know its not the most powerful CPU. But still, an idling NSX-T manager really eating that much CPU?

Which VMware product? It can’t be vSphere as that’s at 6.7
Just because you kept an old copy does not mean you should be sharing it.
Ok, 'Unknown error' doesn't give a lot of info
Does the error occur only for a limited set of VMs or for all VMs?
Do the VMs for which the error occurs have both Custom Attributes?
