Hello, I've a script that limits disks io of all VMs. With upgrade to 5.5 Ux, that doesn'nt work anymore. my $io_alloc = StorageIOAllocationInfo->new (shares => $sharesInfo, limit=> "10"); $device->storageIOAllocation ($io_alloc); my $virtualDeviceConfigSpec = VirtualDeviceConfigSpec->new (device => $device, operation => VirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation->new('edit')); my $vmConfig = VirtualMachineConfigSpec->new (deviceChange => [$virtualDeviceConfigSpec]); $vm->ReconfigVM (spec => $vmConfig); I'm getting the following error: SOAP Fault: ----------- Fault string: Ein angegebener Parameter war nicht korrekt. spec.sharesInfo.limit Why is there any problem with shares? I think that's a bug. Now I'm unable to set the disk io limit. Any ideas, tricks oder workarounds? Thanks! Regards, Alex

Hello, I want to monitor the count of free ports in a portgroup (Distributed Virtual Switch). The number for total ports is no problem, I can get this value from the DVS-Object. The better question is: where to get the count of used ports from. I can't get this value from the DVS-Object. I tried to fill a hash with the portgroups used in all VMs, but it seems, that there were some ports missing (i.e. VM powered off). Has anyone some scripts or ideas how to get an overview of all portgroups with used/free ports? Thanks so far, Greets, Alex

Hello, I've got a script which creates new Ports-Groups (VLANs) in VirtualDistributedSwitches: ################## (...) my $DatacenterView = Vim::find_entity_view(       'view_type' => 'Datacenter',       'filter'        => { 'name' => "DATACENTER" }); my $DVSView = Vim::find_entity_view(       'view_type'     => 'DistributedVirtualSwitch',       'filter'           => { 'name' => 'Distributed Switch nbg6a-1' },       'begin_entity' => $DatacenterView); my $VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitchVlanSpec   = VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitchVlanIdSpec->new(       'vlanId' => $pg_vlan,       'inherited' => 'false'); my $DVPortSetting =  VMwareDVSPortSetting->new('vlan' => $VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitchVlanSpec); my $DVPortgroupConfigSpec = DVPortgroupConfigSpec->new (       'name'              => $pg_name,       'numPorts'          => 16,       'type'              => 'earlyBinding',       'defaultPortConfig' => $DVPortSetting); $DVSView->AddDVPortgroup_Task('spec' => $DVPortgroupConfigSpec); (...) ##################### What I need the other way: delete a Portgroup out of the VirtualDistributedSwitch by using the "Name" not the key. And important: I need to specify the DistributedVirtualSwitch, because I could have more Portgroups with the same name in different vdSwitches. How can I do that? Thanks, Greets Alex

Hello, I want to list all VMs in a specific cluster which doesn't have an IOPS-Limit set on any of there disks. My virtualisation environment looks like: DATASTORE - Cluster x - Cluster y   * Ressource Pool x   * Ressource Pool y     = VM 1     = VM 2 How can I list VMs in a specific cluster and then only these, where any disk hasn't got an IOPS-Limit. Thanks for any help, Greets Alex
