Get-DRSClusterGroup CMDLet about asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere HOT 19 CLOSED

Ha! Yeah not going to happen :)

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Hey Scott,

Thanks for checking out the project and letting us know of your issue.

Get-DrsClusterGroup is a PowerCLI cmdlet that looks like was introduced in 6.5.1 (https://blogs.vmware.com/PowerCLI/2017/06/spotlight-new-drs-cmdlets.html). Is there any chance you can upgrade PowerCLI? We're doing most of our testing on newer versions of the PowerCLI module these days (11.x).

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers, Matt.

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the quick response.

Hold fast I'm a thick Yorkshireman, I'll update the module and come back to you, keen to get this working it looks awesome. :-)

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Haha, no worries Scott! I happened to be awake doing some study, so seeing this come in was a good oppotunity for procrastination :)

Do let us know how you get on with it, or if you run in to any other issues let us know and we'll help out.

Cheers, Matt.

Getting this error now.

Any ideas please?

Cheers

What version of vSphere and what version of ESXi is that host that Get-EsxCli is failing on?

I've not come across that before, @tpcarman ?

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

I've never seen that before either. Do you have anything out of the ordinary deployed in your environment, witness host or something?

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Hi Guys,

vSphere Version: 5.5.0 Build 4180647
ESXi: VMware ESX, 4.1.0, 582267 - (Therein lies the problem?)

Thx
Scott

Is there anyway to bypass non supported hosts?

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Yeah I’m sure it is possible but I have to draw the line somewhere. ESX 4.1 went out of support many years ago. I just really don’t want to be coding around every unique use case.

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

We don't have that functionality built in, but it's something we can put in as a feature request.

I don't think it would be too hard to code around it, @tpcarman is it just a matter of a filter on Get-VMHost in the vsphere As Built Report?

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Fully understand Tim, just wondered if there was any | Select-Object or Where-Object could have filtered these out during the CMDLet execution, I have 4 x 5.0.0 hosts & 1 x 4.1 host on this VC.

I guess I'm unable to use against this VC then?

Appreciate the help., Scott

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

I'll give it a bash against my 6.5 VC now and see how that goes.

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Thing of beauty this lads, haven't felt this good since Michael Owen score against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup. Worked a treat on VC 6.5, did throw this warning up, not sure if this means certain VUM info wasn't extracted or not?

Thanks again, this module is unreal.... package it and sell it :-)

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Thanks for the feedback Scott :)

That warning is OK to ignore for the purposes of data collection, the VUM information will still have been extracted. The VUM cmdlets in PowerCLI don't use the connection to the vCenter Server, it establishes another connection, so unless the VUM service has a trusted cert, you'll get this warning as well.

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Brilliant, thanks again chaps, wait till I show my superiors this :-)

Chaps, can this script map DataStores back to NetApp devices?

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

Hey Scott,

Sorry, I didn't see this last message.

With the current functionality, no, as the script is just looking at the context of the vSphere environment and not at the underlying storage platform as well.

from asbuiltreport.vmware.vsphere.

@googleface I will include this in the next update, however if you wanted to test on your environment, modify the following line in Invoke-AsBuiltReport.VMware.vSphere.ps1

This will exclude ESX/ESXi hosts prior to vSphere 5.0

From this
$VMHosts = Get-VMHost -Server $vCenter | Where-Object { $_.Model -notlike "*VMware Mobility Platform"} | Sort-Object Name

To this
$VMHosts = Get-VMHost -Server $vCenter | Where-Object { $_.Model -notlike "*VMware Mobility Platform" -and $_.Version -gt 5} | Sort-Object Name

Please let me know if this resolves your issue.
