QUESTION
I am trying to understand python logging. I created a project with the following structure.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Dec-26 at 13:28I fix your issue by adding ,disable_existing_loggers=False) in s_lib.py. The default value is True. Here's a link to Python Doc
QUESTION
I'm working on cloning a Virtual Machine (VM) in vCenter environment using this code. It takes command line arguments for name of the VM, template, datastore, etc. (e.g. $ clone_vm.py -s -p < password > -nossl ....)
I have another Python file where I've been able to list the Datastore volumes in descending order of free_storage. I have stored the datastore with maximum available storage in a variable ds_max. (Let's call this ds_info.py)
I would like to use ds_max variable from ds_info.py as a command line argument for datastore command line argument in clone_vm.py.
I tried importing the os module in ds_info.py and running os.system(python clone_vm.py ....arguments...) but it did not take the ds_max variable as an argument.
I'm new to coding and am not confident to change the clone_vm.py to take in the Datastore with maximum free storage.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this.
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-14 at 17:00I suspect there is something wrong in your os.system call, but you don't provide it, so I can't check.
Generally it is a good idea to use the current paradigm, and the received wisdom (TM) is that we use subprocess. See the docs, but the basic pattern is:
QUESTION
I've found pyvmomi examples on how to add a disk to an already existing VM, but I would like to customize the VM template and then clone. Setting the CPUs and memory are pretty straight forward, but the adding of one or more disks to an existing template, asides from the boot disk, eludes me.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-01 at 14:53The errors which you're getting seem to indicate that you need to fix the unit_number. Keep in mind that 7 is reserved for the scsi controller and 16 is the maximum supported number of disks by VMWare (view sample code).
QUESTION
I am trying to get the data from Python script and storing that into a list and then creating a dataframe out of it.
But it create different Datafarme's for individual items in for loop, how to avoid that and create a single dataFrame.
Code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-28 at 13:13# new df to concat every instance
final_df = pd.DataFrame()
for instance in vcenter:
try:
c = SmartConnect(host=instance, user=userid, pwd=p, sslContext=s)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
continue
content = c.content
obj_ds = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(content.rootFolder,[vim.Datastore],True)
# Lists
a_list = []
b_list = []
c_list = []
d_list = []
# for loop
for z in obj_ds.view:
a_list.append(instance)
b_list.append(z)
c_list.append(int(z.summary.capacity/(1024*1024*1024)))
d_list.append(int(z.summary.freeSpace/(1024*1024*1024)))
#dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': a_list, 'B': b_list, 'C': c_list, 'D': d_list})
# append in final_df
final_df = pd.concat([final_df, df])
# reset index
final_df = final_df.reset_index(drop=True)
print(final_df)
QUESTION
This is the code generated by the code capture feature.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-20 at 12:34It looks like you never established the cluster (or ClusterComputeResource) as the managedObject variable. That should have been done prior to creating the spec variable and may have been missed from the Code Capture output.
QUESTION
Using pvymomi, I can determine the OS. How does one determine the OS version?
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-13 at 12:24After doing some research into this question, I have found that the vSphere Web Services API, which the Python package pyvmomi uses does not have an easy way to collect the exact version operating system version with a basic API call.
If you look at the vSphere Web Services API information for
guestFamily, which is in GuestInfo you will not see any API call for precise versioning information.
Additionally, to obtain the exact operating system version information for CentOS you would normally have to query the kernel, which contains this information.
You can obtain the version of CentOS using this command:
QUESTION
I want to write a script in Python & Django, where I will do CRUD operations for Port-group. I am working on VM Sphere / VM-Ware. But after searching a lot I got only a single repository for reference - https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi-community-samples/tree/master/samples
PyVmomi library.
I am not able to write script for CRUD operations of Portgroup. Please also explain that are Port group under Central server access or under proxy access or under VM access. Please discuss in details.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-08 at 21:32Three of those operations already exist as part of the pyvmomi community samples repo, which you linked:
Hopefully those three samples can help you get on your way to creating the script you require.
Access-wise, portgroups are a child object of the ESXi host (or HostSystem) within the API. You can either authenticate directly to the managing vCenter Server or to the ESXi Host itself to manage portgroups.

QUESTION
I am able to execute a command inside the server but I want to get that output in my local pc. I don't want want to use ssh keys. I want to use just the host's username and password as well as vm's(server's) username and password. I couldn't find a direct method to get the shell output of server in my pc, but this method seems half done like generate and save the output in server and then get the file from server. I am finding it difficult to get file(sample.txt) from server to local host(pc).
[EDIT: I am able to do this using via via method(Store the output to server and then get it back into local pc, is there a direct method ?) ]
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Feb-20 at 13:45This does the job but I would appreciate if someone knows how to directly get the output of shell command from server to my local pc. This code makes a file with the output of cmd inside the server and it gets copied into my local pc
QUESTION
The closest info I can find in the vSphere UI is the user of the "Clone completed" event in the events list in monitoring. Can i access this list with pyvmomi? Or any better alternative would be appreciated.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jan-16 at 19:07That kind of information isn't part of the virtual machine object, so your best bet is to poll the events via EventManager Only caveat, if you have a particularly active environment, the events may rollover so using and polling a syslog would be the most consistent manner of obtaining that information.

Install pyvmomi
You can use pyvmomi like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
