Re: Create a VM directory tree in vCenter (with folder exists check)
Hello Joerg,
Thanks for your help. It clarified what I had to return from the function.
I decided to accomplish this a little different way. Not sure if it is any better, worse or indifferent but in my non-programmer head it made sense.
I changed the allSubFolders to have 2 entries (folder name & folder object). Now in my found, I retrieve the subfolder name (array index), add 1 (get the next record which should be the object), and return that.
My testing seems to create the results I want but can you let me know if this is a bad programming standard or makes sense?
Thanks

Re: orphaned vmdk files script
So the other scenario that is seen alot is there may be a sole vmdk in a folder that is out of inventory for a particular VM. The original VM was svmotioned so it left this vmdk in its original location in a folder on the original datastore.
As time goes on this type of cruft is left around and forgot about because someone just REMOVED it from the VM and did not DELETE it.
Do you have any suggestions on how to find these orphan VMDKs just laying around?
thanks!!

Tagging design question
I have got 2 ESX servers to setup with 4 port NICs each - so I would like to know the best way to load network traffic based on management, storage and VM network. Should I team 2 NICs for iscsi storage then 1 for management and 1 for customer link?
They all should be in different VLAN with a dedicated iscsi switch and separate switch for customers (with dedicated LAN to the data centre)
What is the best design solution for this? The goal is to give the best performance in terms of bandwidth to the customer premise in terms of accessing emails and file services.
Thanks

Re: Total migrations using vmotion
Dear Lucd,
We required, Total migrations using vmotion (Get-Cluster | Select Name,@{N="#vMotion";E={$_.ExtensionData.Summary.NumVmotions}}) and how many Vm's are DRS done and How many Manually completed for Lastmonth . No need to take info which Vm ware migrated, which user migrated and Time-stamp. Simply
Output like
SN Cluster Name Total_VMigration DRS Manually (1 month Data).

Re: Vmware Autodeploy with host profile not work
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I fixed my problem finally, I found that the default setting is stateless install, not stateful install which will commit to your disk.
| |||||
| In the System Image Cache Profile Settings drop-down menu, make your selection. |
Now, my newly deployed ESXi host will boot from Auto Deploy and applied host profile automatically and joined to correspondent cluster group.
I hope this help others faced the same problem. Thanks a lot

Best Practise - Which SCSI Controller for Windows 2012
Hi,
We are building a new environment for Windows 2012 servers and was wanting to know what the best practise is for the SCSI controller for Windows 2012 servers. Ive had a look on the net but i cant find a good answer as to which one to select.
LSI Logic Parallel
LSI Logic SAS
VMware Paravirtual
Note that our builds are scripted so we wont be changing this setting based on how many IOPs a virtual machine does for each build. If you could also give myself a reason why that controller should be used that would be great
Virtual Centre Version 5.1.0 Build 1123961
ESXi 5.1.0 1065491
Thanks.

Re: Best design for using 8 physical NICs on an ESXi 5.1 host
If the portgroups for Management, vMotion and VM Networking never use uplinks 7 and 8 then you might as well create a separate vDS dedicated for NFS. That would be cleaner, easier to understand and more simple to configure. I like this design actually or a variation I'll show below, but it still means that management portgroup is on the vDS. I really don't like this at all. People say it is safe but if vCenter is on one of the hosts that it is managing then a cold restart of your environment is going to be quite a pain. Further host profiles and vDS are both trying to control the networking (unless you exclude some portions of the networking config from the host profile) and this almost always makes life harder. It's something you probably have to experience on a large scale environment to truly appreciate how annoying it is. Environments with less then 20 hosts it probably isn't much of an issue because you can take the extra time required to get it right and it doesn't blow out the total time required to implement the entire solution.
Also when you put portgroups on a vDS you have to recognize that those portgroups are now available for VMs to be attached to. Every environment I've ever worked in where mgmt, vMotion, FT were on a vDS with VM Networking some idiot connects several VMs up to portgroups they shouldn't be using. Quite a security issue that, not sure why people just don't think.
The following design is a derivative of the mrlesmithjr design. It requires a separate VLAN for each traffic type. For each subsequent VM Networking portgroup the configuration remains the same, only the VLAN changes.
vDS - NIOC - Route based on physical NIC load - 4 NICs Total
dvpg-Management - dvuplink1-4 all active
dvpg-vMotion1 - dvuplink2 active, dvuplink1,3,4 standby
dvpg-vMotion2 - dvuplink3 active, dvuplink1,2,4 standby
dvpg-VMNetwork1 - dvuplink1-4 all active
dvpg-VMNetwork2 - dvuplink1-4 all active
vDS - NIOC & SIOC - Route based on IP HASH - LACP Enabled - 4 NICs Total
dvpg-NFS - dvuplink1-4 all active
If you environment is big enough you should consider having a management cluster where high level servers like vCenter, SSO, SQL live. This Management cluster is still the recommended best practice implementation from VMware. For this cluster you would stick to only using standard virtual switches for management to make it the most simple configuration. This will help in the event of a cold start and/or major maintenance tasks. If you have a management cluster then the risks associated with having management portgroups on a vDS are drastically reduced.
Cheers,
Paul

How to setup a alarm when a storage path become dead?
Hello all,
I found some storage path dead sometimes in vcenter. The esxi server have two HBA card, each one connecting a SAN switch seperately. The SAN storage have two SP. So for two storage arrays, there are 8 storage path for one esxi host.
My question is:
1. How to setup a alarm when a storage path (pls note I mean a path, no the storage) become dead.
2. The state of a storage path maybe standby or active, what the difference between them. Does it mean standby path will never active if the primary storage SP don't cutover to secondary SP?
Very thanks.

Re: Constant NetBIOS Name Service query/refresh for Windows 7 VM
Hi Arion,
Thanks for your support. I still could not find NSNB query/refresh packets destinated to device that starts with vmware_XX on my Mac.Which Fusion version are you using? Judging from the packet, it seems your Mad owns ip address 172.20.204.12, and 172.20.204.x should be allocated to your NAT VM? Does your windows 7 network work properly? Would you mind describe your network setup on your Mac and your windows 7 VM? Thanks you very much.
