Guest script manager package

0
0

- 2015-03-24 - The package is now hosted on fowgrab to allow communities contributions

 

- Updated 2015-01-05 by Daniel Linsley:

  • Does not break anymore with UAC but UAC may still prevent some scripts to run.
  • Improved sleep for better handling of low script refresh

 

 

Running commands or scripts in VM guest is something that has been done with vCO for quite a while using different mechanisms. A popular way was to use the VIX plug-in for vCO. This plug-in is not needed anymore since the VIX functionality is part of the vCenter API since vCenter 5.0 and there are guest operations workflows to copy a script and run it into a VM guest OS since vCO 5.1

 

Using these library workflows requires to copy scripts from the vCO file system or include the scripts in your workflows. Getting the script output can be tricky and if part of the script include parameters that need to be replaced with your custom workflows inputs it requires a bit more coding.

 

The Guest Script Manager handle all of this for you so you do not have to reinvent the wheel. You can even create specific workflows to run existing scripts without having to do any vCO scripting !

 

Features

 

Script management : Add, edit, delete a script configuration. A script configuration contains:

  • Script type (bash, batch, Powershell) : Each type involve a different way of starting the script and getting the output.
  • Script content: The script itself. May contain parameters that will be replaced right before running the script.
  • Timeout: The time after the script execution is
  • Script interactivity: In case the script open a window that requires user interaction.
  • Script working directory: Where the script will run. Where the optional file will be copied.
  • File to copy: A file to be copied in addition to the script. For example a response file needed for the script.

 

 

The script configurations are stored as resource elements in the vCO database. This means :

  • Updating a script does not require updating a workflow
  • The scripts are in a much safer location compared to the file system
  • If you run a vCO cluster, the scripts are available for every vCO nodes
  • That you can export / import the script configurations in a package

 

The script configuration runner : "Run script in VM guest"

 

  • Search replace specified strings in the additional file, copy it to the guest (optional).
  • Search replace specified strings in the script, run it in the guest.
  • Get output code and output result, display these (including special characters supported by ANSI thanks to the included cmdAnsi.exe), fails the workflow if script failed.

 

There is also a workflow to run multiple scripts one after the other and a workflow to upload your files as resource elements.

  • Benoit for the included / modified "run script in guest" workflow

  • Daniel Linsley for providing enhancements to the original package



Known issues

 

You must turn off UAC on Windows (2015-01-05) Package updated by Daniel

.SYNOPSIS

  Get HBA information and FC and iSCSI Multipath information from all ESXi hosts in -Server and -Location (optional)
multipath_intro.JPG

.DESCRIPTION

  The script return:
  • A table with the number of paths on each HBA
multipath_table.JPG
  • .csv files with a list of paths, HBAs and SATP policy.
  The csv files could be imported to MS Excel and convert to Pivot Tables for further analisys. Here are some examples:
  • Get HBA Vendor, Model, VID, DID, SVID, SDID, Driver, Firmware, Speed, status, etc on each ESXi host
multipath_hbas.JPG
  • Check if multipath configuration (SATP and PSP) is homogeneous on ESXi hosts:
multipath_paths.JPG
multipath_paths2.JPG
  • Check path state (active, standby, dead)
multipath_status.JPG
  • Check IOPS Limit and IOPS Type in Round Robin paths
multipath_iops.JPG
  • Check if LUNs are presented to ESXi hosts with the same LUN ID
multipath_lunid.JPG
  • Get the sum of active/passive preferred/not preferred paths on each SAN Port and how they are distributed on SAN Targets
multipath_sanports.JPG
  • Check if ESXi hosts have the same default PSP Policy for each SATP
multipath_satp.JPG
Only one change is made to ESXi hosts: start/stop TSM-SSH Service to get HBA Firmware.
-VCusername credential needs 'Host.Config.NetService' permission on vCenter Server to start and stop TSM-SSH Service
If -ESXiusername is not provided, the script won't try to start/stop TSM-SSH Service nor get HBA Firmware

.Data Analisys

When scritp execution is finished, three .csv files are written to c:\Temp (you can change this editing $cLibrary).

You can use the .xlsx attached to import these files. Simply change the three data connections with your 3 csv files.

  1. Select "Connections" command from Data menu.
    multipath_excel01.JPG
  2. Edit each connection to point to your .csv files.
    multipath_excel02.JPG
  3. Complete the "Text Import Wizard"
    multipath_excel03.JPGmultipath_excel04.JPGmultipath_excel05.JPG

 

 

Every time you run the script, just open the .xlsx file, run “Refresh All” from Data menu and refresh the pivot tables.

 

 

 

.PARAMETERS


.PARAMETER Server

vCenter Server or ESXi host for which you want to retrieve the MultiPath information.

 

 

.PARAMETER Location

Datacenter or Folder where the ESXi hosts are located in the inventory.

 

 


.PARAMETER VCusername

Username to access vCenter Server Service.

 

Required privilege 'Host.Config.NetService' ("Host / Configuration / Security Profile and Password") to start and stop TSM-SSH service.

 

If TSM-SSH service is started in your ESXi hosts, 'Host.Config.NetService' privilege is not needed.

 


If you want to run this script as a Scheduled Task, you can use these functions to store credentials securely:
