HP SIM 6.3 browser security setting error
HP Systems Insight Manager v6.3 installation have been done on an Windows 2008 R2. So this is an internet explorer 8. (there are some troubles with internet explorer 9)
And Security options have been set to medium-low.
Same problem with Firefox
SIM63_hotfix_2011_Aug_win.exe have been installed also
Problem is solved with SIM63_hotfix_2011_Oct_win.exe (ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-windows/p1002362299/v73061)

ESX or Linux update Automation for windows users: su root and password
These scripts work correctly but for security reasons I could not use this work. Indeed, we must log before with an user then su in root. Moreover, with these previous scripts, that was not possible to transfert any other files like binaries files. So I decided to work on this problem to avoid to manually update 150 esx.
Sure, some trick exist like "expect" (not included in esx) or cpan perl expect, but it was simpliest to me to improve my scripts.
To use my scripts, just create a file yourfile.zip containing a script yourfile.sh and all needed files
process of these scripts:
script use a computer listing file (here servers.txt file) including all your computers you need to update
Script upload on your esx or linux computers yourfile.zip to /tmp directory, then decompress yourfile.zip and run yourfile.sh file
In update_esx_v2.zip, I give you a script example which permit you to update ESX with 2 patchs
[EDIT 15 february 2012] I re-upload zip file and add some informations in this post
In update.zip, file update.sh script contains all commands to do update
#!/bin/sh # Update cd ESX350-201012404-BG/ esxupdate --nosig update cd .. cd ESX350-201012410-BG/ esxupdate --nosig update cd ..In update.zip, there is also all necessary files used by update.sh
update\ update\update.sh update\ESX350-201012404-BG\ update\ESX350-201012404-BG\contents.xml update\ESX350-201012404-BG\contents.xml.sig update\ESX350-201012404-BG\descriptor.xml update\ESX350-201012404-BG\VMware-esx-scripts-3.5.0-317866.i386.rpm update\ESX350-201012404-BG\headers\ update\ESX350-201012404-BG\headers\contents.xml update\ESX350-201012404-BG\headers\contents.xml.sig update\ESX350-201012404-BG\headers\header.info update\ESX350-201012404-BG\headers\VMware-esx-scripts-0-3.5.0-317866.i386.hdr update\ESX350-201012410-BG\ update\ESX350-201012410-BG\contents.xml update\ESX350-201012410-BG\contents.xml.sig update\ESX350-201012410-BG\descriptor.xml update\ESX350-201012410-BG\vmware-keying-data-1-20100930.noarch.rpm update\ESX350-201012410-BG\headers\ update\ESX350-201012410-BG\headers\contents.xml update\ESX350-201012410-BG\headers\contents.xml.sig update\ESX350-201012410-BG\headers\header.info update\ESX350-201012410-BG\headers\vmware-keying-data-0-1-20100930.noarch.hdr
Now, you can run "run_update.cmd" which run your updates with user esxadmin
(only if this user can do all that you want - if user to connect your esx is not esxadmin change line with set usern=esxadmin)
@echo off set usern=esxadmin set zipfile=update.zip set computerfile=servers.txt if "%1"=="" goto :nopass set password=%1 cscript //nologo update_esx.vbs %computerfile% %zipfile% %usern% %password% goto :eof :nopass echo you need a password for user %usern% goto :eof
To run your update with user esxadmin then su root
@echo off set usern=esxadmin set userroot=root set zipfile=update.zip set computerfile=servers.txt if "%1"=="" goto :nopass if "%2"=="" goto :nopass2 set password=%1 set pwdroot=%2 cscript //nologo update_esx.vbs %computerfile% %zipfile% %usern% %password% %userroot% %pwdroot% goto :eof :nopass echo you need a password for user %usern% goto :eof :nopass2 echo you need a password for user %userroot% goto :eof
all computers to update are in file servers.txt below

Check your Onboard Administrator / Virtual Connect password
For this, just change line 43 to 47 in file Plink_reg.cmd (or download TestOAVCPass.zip)
Echo Reg plink %1 (%date% %time%)
Echo ----------------------------- >> %LOGFILE% 2>>&1
Echo Reg plink %1 (%date% %time%) >> %LOGFILE% 2>>&1
plink.exe -ssh -l %2 -pw %3 -batch %1 "exit" >> %LOGFILE% 2>>&1
goto :EOF
with these lines
Echo Reg plink %1 (%date% %time%)
Echo ----------------------------- >> %LOGFILE% 2>>&1
Echo Reg plink %1 (%date% %time%) %2 %3 >> %LOGFILE% 2>>&1
plink.exe -ssh -l %2 -pw %3 -batch %1 "exit" > temp.txt 2>>&1
set passok=PASSWORD_KO
type temp.txt | findstr /i denied
if errorlevel 1 set passok=PASSWORD_IN_THIS_LINE
Echo ;%date% %time%;%1;%2;%3;%passok% >> resultpass.txt
goto :EOF
For example, to test password password1,password2,password3 and password4 in oa or vc with ip address 192.1.1.100 use a file "myipass.txt" with these entries:
192.1.1.100;manager;password1
192.1.1.100;manager;password2
192.1.1.100;manager;password3
192.1.1.100;manager;password4
Run "TestOAVCPass.exe myipass.txt" then you should have result like below (here password3 is the good oa password)
;31/07/2011 12:23:07,26;192.1.1.100;manager;password1;PASSWORD_KO
;31/07/2011 12:23:10,10;192.1.1.100;manager;password2;PASSWORD_KO

Find your VMware local VMFS datastore with powershell
Solution 1: name all your local vmfs LOCAL_xxx
Get all your local datastore by using
Get-Datastore | Get-View | Where-Object { $_.Name -match "LOCAL_*" } | Select-Object @{n="Name";e={$_.Name}}}
Name
----
LOCAL_ESX01
LOCAL_ESX02
LOCAL_ESX03
Solution 2: use MultipleHostAccess info from Get-Datastore
(Thanks to http://blogs.vmware.com/vipowershell/2009/08/how-to-list-datastores-that-are-on-shared-storage.html?cid=6a00d8341c328153ef0120a52e7f0b970b for MultipleHostAccess tip)
You can use this:
Get-Datastore | Get-View | Select-Object @{n="Name";e={$_.Name}}, @{n="San_Nas";e={$_.Summary.MultipleHostAccess}}
Name San_Nas
---- -------
NFS_VOL2 True
LOCAL_ESX01 False
NFS_VOL1 True
LOCAL_ESX02 False
LOCAL_ESX03 False
Solution 3: use Vendor / Model SCSILun informations from VMHost get-view
Get-VMHost | Get-View | Foreach-Object { $vmhost=$_.Name; $_.Config.StorageDevice.ScsiLun | Select-Object @{n="Hostname";e={$vmhost}},@{n="Model";e={$_.Model}},@{n="Vendor";e={$_.Vendor}} }

Optimize your vmware powershell: part 1 - Get-Datacenter
For better performance, use Get-View -ViewType
Use "-Property property1,property2,property3" switch if you don't need all properties. Less data to take = better performance too.
Execution time results after the execution of some commands:
| Command | seconds |

Another way to improve your scripts: use -Filter switch when you want specific data. Some lines can also be better than 1 cmdlets , but it's not always the case (see below)
