yes that option is there but i was looking for a better formatted data. As the one we get from the gui export is little more of data which again needs to be formatted per requirement.

Thanks for the reply Robert. But we are using custom properties. If you have seen the screenshot it's the custom properties that are applied to the VM is controlling the limit. We don't have multiple BP for different deployment. We have just one base BP which is leveraged using custom properties n extensibilities.

Thanks

Getting this error while trying to reconfigure the VM nic. Trying to change the vlan from X to Y and below error it shows.

When checked i find that the totalstorage size was set as 1000GB in properties. see screenshot below. When i tried to edit the properties Cafe.Shim.VirtualMachine.TotalStorageSize and make it to 1500GB still it give the error. Any advice or suggestion to get it fixed.

The data specified within the request is invalid.The total storage that you requested is outside the range specified in the blueprint that was used to provision this machine.

NSX-V Firewall Rule

bikashyadav — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 16:03:01 GMT

Hi,

We have a VM1 attached to a logical switch on nsx v. The requirement is to allow port 80(http) for a destination on internet which is some website hosted somewhere. And the website is accessible from an open internet.

For us we have a proxy server(10.20.30.40) to access internet on the VMs. Now since my VM1 is on nsx-v logical switch vlan say vlanX.

When i allow firewall rule as VM1 can access website (abc.com) on port 80(http). It doesnt work.

But when i add the proxy server also in the destination on the same FW rule, the website (abc.com) starts working.

So do i need to have a rule for proxy server as well in place , if my VMs backed by nsx logical switch need to access anything on the internet thru our proxy server?

Also if someone can draw a diagram on how the traffic flow for such scenario will work that will help me understand better.

Thanks

It didn't give any error. Only thing is the output file value is blank for NICDriver, NICDriver-Version and NICFirmware-Version.

Re: Script failure prompt

bikashyadav — Mon, 09 May 2022 11:09:59 GMT

HI LucD,

Not able to locate the value for variable $NicInfo. Do i need to update somewhere as

$NicInfo=$Esxcli.network.nic.get.Invoke(@{nicname = $nic.Name }).driverinfo

Thanks

Re: PowerCLI - How to get all VMs with Tags-Category

bikashyadav — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 22:52:28 GMT

Yes we have multiple tag categories and under each category we have different tags as below

Customer Datacenter Product Enviroment

VMware Europe VSAN TEST

So you mean the existing script cannot be updated to be adapted to work without testing?

Can you please let me know which part of the script needs to be updated as to what , so that I ll test n get back to you.

Re: Copy-vmguestfile. An error occurred while sending the request

bikashyadav — Fri, 02 Jul 2021 15:03:09 GMT

So it is mandotory/required to have the port 443 opened to the destination vm esxi node for which we will run the invoke-vmscript/copy-vmguestfile from the source VM. That is what i assume.

Re: Copy-vmguestfile. An error occurred while sending the request

bikashyadav — Fri, 02 Jul 2021 15:01:12 GMT

That is what i suspect. which i happened to learn before i sent you the last message.

As i test multiple servers and the source VM from where the invoke-vmscript/copy-vmguestfile to the esxi host where the destination vm was hosted , the telnet to that esxi node over 443 from the source vm was not working.

And for the working invoke-vmscript/copy-vmguestfile the telnet to port 443 to the esxi node of the destination VM was working.

And the confusing part was when i used the proxy to open the esxi fqdn on the browser it opened but the telnet was still not working. But when the proxy was disabled on the browser the fqdn of the esxi was not working on the browser & telnet is not working on either case.
