      <title>Forward virtual machine vmware.log to a syslog server</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Synopsis:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Forward a virtual machine's vmware.log file to a syslog server&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Prerequisites: &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;vSphere 5.1 or higher&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;ESXi hosts configured to forward logs to syslog server&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The function creates two advanced vm settings, 'vmx.log.destination' and 'vmx.log.syslogID'. The first setting sends the log to the vm's datastore and the syslog server. The second adds the virtual machine's name to the log. Without the second setting the virtual is only identified by its PID. If the virtual machine name has changed since the last time the function has run the name will be updated to the new name.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This function can be run on powered on machines but logs will not be forwarded until the vmx file is reloaded.&lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt; To reload a vmx file either power off and power on the virtual machine or perform a vMotion.&lt;/SPAN&gt; Added .Reload() method to modified virtual machines. Now changes will be reflected immediately.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Inspired from &lt;A href="http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2013/07/a-hidden-vsphere-51-gem-forwarding.html" title="http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2013/07/a-hidden-vsphere-51-gem-forwarding.html"&gt;A Hidden vSphere 5.1 Gem – Forwarding Virtual Machine Logs (vmware.log) to Syslog Part 1 | virtuallyGhetto&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE __default_attr="plain" __jive_macro_name="code" class="jive_macro_code jive_text_macro _jivemacro_uid_14434534235485235" jivemacro_uid="_14434534235485235"&gt;

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;That is interesting. I have the virtual desktops in a separate vsphere environment than my connection server. (One is test and has less resources...yada yada) My idea was to setup these desktops as unmanaged in View. I wonder if the agent installer detects vmware tools or specific vmware virtual hardware installed and just assumes that the desktops will be setup as managed. I will do some more testing and move the vms to the same test enivorment that my connection is registered to.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Let me start off with this is the first every working with Horizon/View. I am trying to setup some virtual windows 8.1 desktops in my desktop pool. According to the setup instructions I need to install the view agent on the vm and it will prompt me to specify my Connection server. It never does. I accept the EULA, choose the features I want to install, click Install, the app installs and then prompts for a restart. At no time can I input my Connection server info, therefore I cannot add it to a desktop pool. What I am missing?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

Ideally, I would like those stats shipped to another database and then made human readable by a separate app. I have some ideas about how I would do this if it had to be written from scratch but if there is an app out there already it would make my life easier. Assume that I have all resources required to house that much stat data.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

Here is a link to the app and the source code &lt;A href="http://www.vmdude.fr/en/scripts-en/lazymethodsenabler-tool/" title="http://www.vmdude.fr/en/scripts-en/lazymethodsenabler-tool/"&gt;LazyMethodsEnabler tool | vmdude&lt;/A&gt;. I have taken his app and wrapped into a function to make easier to use with other PowerShell scripts. For this function to work you will need to download his app and the VDDK5.0 libraries located on his site. Unzip all the files to the same directory as the script. The credentials are needed for the app to log into vCenter. My script is attached to this post.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can, and that is how I do it now. But doing it that way requires a vCenter service restart, along with a manual edit of the database. I would rather send the same command that the backup software is sending.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Maybe the VDDK api; I am not really sure. Our backup software sends a command to vCenter to disable storage vMotion on that virtual machine while the backup is active. Once the backup has finished the software sends another command enabling storage vMotion. What I would like do to is send that "enable" command.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just doubled checked. An unregister requires the virtual machine to be powered down.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE __default_attr="plain" __jive_macro_name="code" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_code _jivemacro_uid_13843791677849406" jivemacro_uid="_13843791677849406"&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Remove-Inventory&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The attempted operation cannot be performed in the current state (Powered on).&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;That is an alternative but the virtual machine downtime is a deal breaker. An creating the enable method api call would be ideal.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am looking for a way to remove the vpx_disabled_methods flag on a virtual machine set by our backup software. Even after a successful backup there are some virtual machines that still have sVMotion disabled. The current way I resolve this issue is by stopping the vCenter services, clearing out the vpx_disabled_methods table in SQL, and then starting the vCenter services. Ideally I would write a function that makes the same api call that backup software vendors use to enable sVMotion. Anyone point me in the right direction?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
