As I mentioned before, I wrote a small script (for Linux) to help me with containers in my test lab. This small script would help with “starting, stopping, removing, creating and listing” of containers. For “starting” or “stopping” the containers, it’s possible to use their name or pattern. For the creation of container, it’s possible to […]
Think about scenario which two or more hard disks should be created and added to a specific VM(s); there are multiple ways like using GUI (vSphere Client) or PowerCLI. 😉 If normal GUI (vSphere Client) going to be use, it would be a time-consuming process but when trying to do it with PowerCLI (automated […]
It’s possible and so easy to install “VMware PowerCLI” on the full edition of “Microsoft Windows (Client/Server)” (with GUI) but what about “Windows Server Core Edition”? I’ve tried to install it on “Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Core” and here I’m listing some little points needed to take care of. First of all, “VMware PowerCLI” needs “.NET […]
After long absence I’m starting my work on this blog and other projects. For the first post I’d try to summarize the step needed to install and configure iSCSI or NFS server by using “Microsoft Windows Server 2012” for home lab based on “VMware ESXi 5.x” but for step-by-step visual guide “Windows Server 2012 – File and […]
I’ve edited “DTS (v0.3)” so it can generate “.csv” and accept input from “.csv” file as well. Feel free to send your comment and idea and if you find any bug/problem in this script please let me know, I hope this version can do better work and be useful. [wpdm_file id=8]
Thanks “nWill” for his kind comment on my previous post, I found a problem on “v0.2” and in “v0.3” I tried to fixed some problems previous script had such as not being able to work properly in environment with only one “Template, Customization Specification, Host, Resource Pool or vApp”. I’ve added some description as well as […]
Well, This is a second edition,enhanced or debugged version of my previous “Deploy Template” script. I tried to make it a little more user-friendly and added capability of selecting the location (Resource Pool/vApp) which user/admin can place their newly created VM(s) as well as capability of powering on VM(s) after their creation. Also this script […]
This script will help users/admins for deploying multiple VMs from one of available templates and unlike other scripts I saw so far which are file (answer file) based, this script is interactive and need and interaction of admin. In next version I’d try to add some more options like “adding to resource pool or vApp”, […]
There are times which some VMs are freezing and in these situations there is no option for restart or shutdown. Today I got same experience and hopefully this time it was in my home lab, if it were in production … 🙄 Anyway, getting to the main point, in these situation admins may wants to […]
I had a problem in my home lab for some times (about several days) but I didn’t find times to look over it. I planned some clean up to do for tonight, this one was one of them; I’ve two physical hosts which I added them to the vCenter; for some reason they disconnected automatically and […]
