Cannot delete files in datastore?
We have 5 EXSI host 6.0 and a vCenter server 6.5.
I'm trying to delete a folder that has the vm's files in it off the datastore. I receive an error message stating that the file are not accessible.

Writable Volumes Follow user on multiple Clusters ?
Hi All,
Having a play with Writable Volumes.
Our setup
Appvolumes Version: 2.16
Windows 10 1709
UEM 9.7
Question I have is we currently have a STD desktop pool that is load balanced between 4 clusters.
I have found if we create a writable volume on Cluster 1, the user does not get the writable on another clusters without manually moving the writable volumes.
So given the user could be load balanced to any of the 4 clusters is there a way to have the writable follow the user when logging in?
Sorry if silly question.
Thanks, in advanced

Invoke-VMScript - An error occurred while sending the request
Hi,
I am writing a script that use invoke-vmscript and Copy-VMGuestFile but they throw an error when I run them again the vcenter server.
Here one example:
Invoke-VMScript -ScriptText $NetworkSettings -VM $VMName -GuestCredential $credential
Invoke-VMScript : 01/04/2019 10:56:52 Invoke-VMScript An error occurred while sending the request.
At C:\Users\user\Documents\vscodeProjects\SupportTeam\Vmware-Automation\Actions\CONFIGNET\ActionCONFIGNET.psm1:43 char:5
+ Invoke-VMScript -ScriptText $NetworkSettings -VM $VMName -GuestCr ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Invoke-VMScript], ViError
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Client20_VmGuestServiceImpl_DownloadFileFromGuest_DownloadError,VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.InvokeVmScript
To notice that I connected correctly to the vcenter before run the Invoke-Script and that the script contained in $NetworkSettings has been run correctly on the guest VM. The only problem seems to happen when the Invoke-VMScript try to read the result. If I run the Invoke-VMScript again the physical host instead the VCenter everything is working.
Vcenter, physical host and the machine who the invoke-vmscript are in the same network.
Same problem if I use the Copy-VMGuestFile
Any ideas?

DefaultVIServer -match -notmatch bug ?
Hello Community,
I recreate my topic after some research. First of all I'm working on a CentOS7 with a PowerShell 6.7 package & a PowerCli 11.0.0 module.
I've been through an issue with my powercli script that check if I'm already connected to the vSphere I want to use. I can connect to multiple vSphere so this change some things.
So the problem is that sometimes I need to use $Global:DefaultVIServer(s) or $Global:global:DefaultVIServer(s) to match or not match with a variable.
This is a table with on the left the command executed (in a script or manually) and on the right the result or a '-' if there no output.
Note: PowerCli-Connection is a personnal script.
| Script / Manual execution | Result |
|---|---|
'1 ';$Global:global:DefaultVIServer '2 ';$Global:global:DefaultVIServers '3 ';$Global:DefaultVIServer '4 ';$Global:DefaultVIServers '-----------------' '1 ';if ($Global:global:DefaultVIServer -notmatch $vSphere){'ok'} '2 ';if ($Global:global:DefaultVIServers -notmatch $vSphere){'ok'} '3 ';if ($Global:DefaultVIServer -notmatch $vSphere){'ok'} '4 ';if ($Global:DefaultVIServers -notmatch $vSphere){'ok'} '-----------------' '1 ';if ($Global:global:DefaultVIServer -match $vSphere){'ok'} '2 ';if ($Global:global:DefaultVIServers -match $vSphere){'ok'} '3 ';if ($Global:DefaultVIServer -match $vSphere){'ok'} '4 ';if ($Global:DefaultVIServers -match $vSphere){'ok'} '----------------' PowerCli-Connection -Server $vSphere ----------------- '1 ';$Global:global:DefaultVIServer '2 ';$Global:global:DefaultVIServers '3 ';$Global:DefaultVIServer '4 ';$Global:DefaultVIServers '-----------------' '1 ';if ($Global:global:DefaultVIServer -notmatch $vSphere){'ok'} '2 ';if ($Global:global:DefaultVIServers -notmatch $vSphere){'ok'} '3 ';if ($Global:DefaultVIServer -notmatch $vSphere){'ok'} '4 ';if ($Global:DefaultVIServers -notmatch $vSphere){'ok'} '-----------------' '1 ';if ($Global:global:DefaultVIServer -match $vSphere){'ok'} '2 ';if ($Global:global:DefaultVIServers -match $vSphere){'ok'} '3 ';if ($Global:DefaultVIServer -match $vSphere){'ok'} '4 ';if ($Global:DefaultVIServers -match $vSphere){'ok'} | 1. - |
So this not an issue, I found a workaround to this but can someone explain this ? Is this a bug ?
-------------
For those who want the workaround, use reverse result of working comparaison operator:
if (!($Global:DefaultVIServers -match $vSphere)){ PowerCli-Connection -Server $vSphere
}
Check LucD reply for a clean way to do it.

Can i find in vRO for how many times it has ran the account lockout workflow for a same account ?
E.g. If Account "ABC" is getting locked out for multiple times and account lock out workflow is unlocking the account each time, After 2nd or 3rd lockout i should be able to find that account is lockout 3rd time and this is an issue and needs problem management ?
Is this possible from vRO ??

How to total DataStoreCluster Capacity and FreeSpace not individual DataStores?
I have seen several examples of generating a report that list the CapacityTB and FreeSpaceTB for a individual Datastores within a DataStoreCluster, but I cannot determine how to just generate:
1. The total CapacityTB of a data store cluster
2. The total FreeSpaceTB of a data store cluster
3. Determine a Provisioned % of a data store cluster, e.g FreeSpaceTB / CapacityTB
I had been using an example that Lucd posted and lightly modified:
foreach ($vc in $VIServer) {
Get-DatastoreCluster -Server $vc |
Select @{N = 'vCenter'; E = {$vc.Name}},
@{N = 'Datacenter'; E = {(Get-Datastore -RelatedObject $_ | select -First 1).Datacenter.Name}},
@{N = 'DSC'; E = {"some DataStoreCluster"}},
CapacityGB,
@{N = 'FreespaceTB'; E = {[math]::Round($_.FreespaceTB, 2)}},
@{N = 'Freespace%'; E = {[math]::Round($_.FreespaceTB / $_.CapacityTB * 100, 1)}},
@{N = 'ProvisionedSpaceTB'; E = {
[math]::Round(($_.ExtensionData.Summary.Capacity - $_.Extensiondata.Summary.FreeSpace + $_.ExtensionData.Summary.Uncommitted) / 1TB, 2)}
},
@{N = 'UnCommittedTB'; E = {[math]::Round($_.ExtensionData.Summary.Uncommitted / 1TB, 2)}},
@{N = 'VM'; E = {((Get-View -Id $_.ExtensionData.ChildEntity).VM.Count | Measure-Object -Sum).Sum}}
}
But it only returns individual DataStores, when I what I really want is to see total for the DataStoreCluster.
I would really love to just limit it to the DataStoreClusters within a specific Cluster of the DataCenter. I'm exhausted my very limited PowerShell skills.

SRM plugin for vRO
Hi guys
I've a test environment where the following is installed:
- vCSA 6.7 U1
- SRM 8.1.1
- vRA 7.5 (with embedded vRO)
- vSphere replication
What I would like to achieve is to be able to place VMs created by vRA into protection groups
I'm currently stuck at setting up my vRO instance to my SRM.
I've setup the plugin (.vmoapp) via vRO Control Center and the new workflows under SRM is available in the vRO Client
The first thing to do is to Configure Local Sites via Workflows > Library > SRM > Configuration
I've keyed in the necessary information and there isn't any error shown, logs show nothing as well. However, when I try to configure remote site, I can't see the local site that I've setup earlier.
I went to Inventory > SRM and that's it, my local site is not shown at all.
What seems to be the issue here?

How to shrink a thick-provisioned disk
I'm running ESXi 6.5 and have a server that has a 1TB, thick-provisioned drive as part of it's virtual makeup that I'd like to reduce. Current used space is less than 200GB and isn't going to grow beyond that. This is a production server, so the utmost care must be taken. There are 4 other drives on this virtual server and they are all fine with their respective sizing. Is it possible to shrink that overly large disk and recover the unused LUN space? Thanks
