cant get output in powerCLI

[Davturo999]

Hello!  iam new in the use of powerCLI, and i was trying to run the next lines, only one at time.

 

and i cant get any output, no error, nothing i have been searching for the issue but i cant find a solution,

if i run other like .Guest.Disks i can get some output but .VMHost....

¡¡¡ thanks for the help !!!!

What does the following return?

(Get-VM -Name <vmname>).VMHost
(Get-VM -Name <vmname>).VMHost | Get-Member

[LucD]

Also, what is that funny underscore at the end of each line that doesn't return anything?

[Davturo999]

Hello! 

thanks for your quick answer.

When i execute the suggets commands, for the .VMHost y get nothing again but with the  | Get.Member y got this:

Get-Member : You must specify an object for the Get-Member cmdlet.
At line:1 char:33
+ (Get-VM <machinename>).VMHost | Get-Member
+ ~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : CloseError: (:) [Get-Member], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoObjectInGetMember,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetMemberCommand

and about the funny underscore at the end of each line, thats a very good question.

[LucD]

That looks as if there is nothing returned by

Get-VM <vmname>

[Davturo999]

When i use the Get-VM | FL 

i get some data but also some white spaces, something like this:

MemoryMB : 16384

MemoryGB : 16
VMHostId   :
VMHost      :
VApp          :
FolderId     :
Folder        :

also got this:

WARNING: The 'Version' property of VirtualMachine type is deprecated. Use the 'HardwareVersion' property instead

[LucD]

That warning can be ignored in this.

Just wondering, do you have sufficient permissions to "see" all info for VM?
Which vSphere version are you using?
Are you connected to a vCenter or an ESXi node? Check what $global:defaultviservers contains

[Davturo999]

it suppose, the user with i been entered it's admin but....

the suggest command "$global:default\viservers" give me this:

At line:1 char:16
+ $global:default\viservers
+ ~~~~~~~~~~
Unexpected token '\viservers' in expression or statement.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnexpectedToken

[LucD]

That should have been

$global:defaultviservers

[Davturo999]

that command give me back my user 

[LucD]

It should also show where you are connected to

[Davturo999]

yes it give me the port, i dont know what to do with this problem 

[Davturo999]

the version its 5.0 its old but it's what we have 

[LucD]

That is very old, that is not even available anymore.
Sorry, can't help you with that.
You definitely need to upgrade

[Davturo999]

sadly, ok thanksyou anyways !

i'll continue asking for the solutions, 

[Davturo999]

hey, i had found a solution for that, i use the powerCLI 5.0.1 and it works fine !

i hope we can get vSphere update soon, while i'll continue using this powerCLI version,
