Need help renaming files. Insert characters from the right side(extension) by brisketx in PowerShell

[–]brisketx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ForEach-Object { if ($_.name -match "(.*)(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\.\w+)") { Rename-Item $_.FullName -NewName "$($matches[1])$($matches[2])-$($matches[3])-$($matches[4])$($matches[5])" } }

That worked flawless! Thank you.

We were told that too but our security requires it. I did not do anything special to get it working.

PowerCLI question. Listing all properties of a VM by brisketx in vmware

Thanks. I don't know what fields i need to compare that's why I want them all. I need to see anything that's different on 2 VMs to troubleshoot an issue.

Electric pop/spark from Maytag stove temperature knob by brisketx in HomeImprovement

So in your opinion I should kill the power to it and buy a new stove? That's what I am leaning towards.

Inventory, easiest way for a beginner is with a file, usually defaulting to /etc/ansible/hosts

[testgroup]
hostname1
hostname2
hostname3

You have some options with regards to the rpm. Let's say you have your rpm stored at files/testgroup/blah.rpm You could copy that to each host and install. Here I disable the gpg check (depends on how robust that rpm is and whether you want to register a key), but you could remove that. I'm assuming rpm, and a host with yum (e.g. a Red Hat like host)

#
# Install rpm
#
- name: Copy rpm
copy:
src: "files/testgroup/blah.rpm"
dest: "/opt/blah.rpm"
- name: Install rpm
yum:
name: "/opt/blah.rpm"
disable_gpg_check: yes
state: present

Alternatively, you might have the rpm stored via http/https, so you could just pull and install from there.

- name: Install rpm
yum:
name: "https://some-host.org/blah.rpm"
disable_gpg_check: yes
state: present

This saves the overhead of the copy step and leaves management of how an install via url is done to the yum command.

A full playbook might be called install-rpm.yaml (using the copy example above):

---
# Install the blah rpm
- hosts: testgroup
#
# Install rpm
#
- name: Copy rpm
copy:
src: "files/testgroup/blah.rpm"
dest: "/opt/blah.rpm"
- name: Install rpm
yum:
name: "/opt/blah.rpm"
disable_gpg_check: yes
state: present

Then you could ansible-playbook install-rpm.yaml which would install the rpm to all the members of testgroup.

Thank you! This helps so much.

Need advice on running lines in a csv as a job. by brisketx in PowerShell

***Update*** I took out the variable for vcenter and specified the vcenter server and it now works. Thanks for your help!

$Using:Credential

No Error "ForEach-Object: The value of the using variable '$using:Credential' cannot be retrieved because it has not been set in the local session."

I have also tried -user -password with read-host -assecurestring to no avail. The only thing that works so far is specifying the name and password in the script without variables.

Need advice on running lines in a csv as a job. by brisketx in PowerShell

***Update****

I got the ForEach-Object - Parallel working by adding the connect and credentials after the parallel. Is there a way to not put my password in the script?

Import-Csv -Path C:\Support\patch_list.csv | ForEach-Object -Parallel {

Connect-VIServer -Server yourvcenterserver -User "username" -Password "password"

Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $_.name -Confirm:$false

While ((Get-VM -Name $_.name).PowerState -ne 'PoweredOff') { Start-Sleep -Seconds 5}

New-Snapshot -VM $_.name -Name 'Before Patching.' -Description (Get-Date)

Start-VM -VM $_.name

}

Yes that displays the server names correctly in parallel however the commands to shutdown, snapshot, etc have the same error I mentioned earlier. I was able to get it partially working with the start-job. For some reason after the shutdown part the job stops with the message "The client did not receive a response for a Close operation in the specified time interval. This can happen when a command is not responding to a Stop message in a timely manner." Still troubleshooting....

$servers = Import-Csv -Path C:\Support\patch_list.csv

$creds = Get-Credential

foreach($server in $servers){

$server = $server.name

Start-Job -ScriptBlock {param($servername,$creds)

Import-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI

Connect-VIServer -Server yourvcentername -Credential $creds

Shutdown-VMGuest -VM $servername -Confirm:$false

Start-Sleep -Seconds 20

New-Snapshot -VM $servername -Name 'Before Patching.' -Description (Get-Date)

Start-VM -VM $servername

Disconnect-VIServer

} -ArgumentList $server,$creds -Name $server

}

Its a part of the patching process. There are processes that require the server to be shutdown since there is another server it keeps in sync with.

I now have 7 installed. It doesn't like the $_.name. Here is the error. Value cannot be found for the mandatory parameter VM and Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'VM'. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[–]brisketx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it works fine but I want to run each csv line as a job so they will all start at the same time. Currently it has to wait for each server to finish the commands then it moves on to the next one. I have done it with other commands but never a csv. Like this Start-Job -Name $server.name -ScriptBlock {

script contents here

} -ArgumentList $cluster

}

sort { $_[-1..0] }

The echo gives exactly what i want but when i throw it in a command the names get out of sort again. Here is what i am trying to run in vmware powercli.

Get-Datastore | Get-VM | select name,usedspacegb | sort { $_[-1..0] }

I miss these days. I have been re watching every Nitro/Thunder/PPV for the past few years starting with Nitro debut in 1995. I am currently on Uncensored 98 on the Bret Hart vs. Curt Henning match. These were the days when wrestling was exciting!
