Installing Microsoft Updates via PowerShell

Posted in Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Powershell, Windows Server | No Comment | 2,611 views | 19/06/2014 02:26

You can install Microsoft Updates on your server by using following PowerShell script.

This script doesn’t reboot your server after Microsoft Update, even if patch requires reboot.
Instead, it gives you True/False result as an output, so you can reboot server by checking Update results.
So you can use this script to create your own Cluster Aware Update procedure.

Function Install-MicrosoftUpdate {
 
<#
    .SYNOPSIS

So if you just type:

Install-MicrosoftUpdate

that will install Microsoft Updates on your local server.
If you want to install Microsoft Updates on remote server, then type like:

Install-MicrosoftUpdate -ComputerName "MyHyperVHost01"

If you use this function in a script, then you can suppress write-host outputs:

Install-MicrosoftUpdate -ComputerName "MyHyperVHost01" -SuppressMode

That will give you Reboot Status as a result.

DNS Control on Remote Servers

Posted in Windows Server | No Comment | 965 views | 13/06/2014 22:13

This is an example script to check DNS servers on remote servers. If DNS count is not equal to 4, that will add server name into output.

# DNS Server Control
$ServerList = Get-Content VMs.txt
 
foreach ($Server in $ServerList)
{	
	Write-Host $Server
 
	$DNSServers = $Null
	$DNSServers = (Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $Server -Class Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | where {$_.DNSServerSearchOrder -ne $Null}).DNSServerSearchOrder
 
	if ($DNSServers.Count -ne "4")
	{
		Add-Content -Value $Server -Path DNSProblem.txt
	}
 
	Write-Host $DNSServers
	Write-Host " "
	Write-Host " "
}

You should check DNSProblem.txt file to see which servers don’t have 4 DNS entries.

How to stop a Linux Service via PowerShell DSC?

Posted in Linux Server, Windows Powershell, Windows Server | No Comment | 2,325 views | 12/06/2014 22:44

This is an example for nxService of PowerShell DSC.

You will able to stop a service like postfix on Linux by using PowerShell DSC.

$cred=Get-Credential -UserName:"root" -Message:"Root User?"
$opt = New-CimSessionOption -UseSsl:$true -SkipCACheck:$true -SkipCNCheck:$true -SkipRevocationCheck:$true
$linuxcomp=New-CimSession -Credential:$cred -ComputerName:linuxdsc.cloudapp.net -Port:5986 -Authentication:basic -SessionOption:$opt
 
Configuration StopService
{
   Import-DSCResource -Module nx
   Node "linuxdsc.cloudapp.net"{    
        nxService StopService
        {
			Name = "postfix"
			Controller = "init"
			State = "Stopped"
        }
    }
}
 
StopService -OutputPath:"C:\temp"
Start-DscConfiguration -CimSession:$linuxcomp -Path:"C:\temp" -Verbose -Wait

After you run DSC, postfix service will be stopped on destination Linux Server.

Hyper-V Disaster Recovery Notes for Storage Replication

Posted in Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Server | No Comment | 1,963 views | 09/06/2014 17:54

This is my notes and scripts for a Hyper-V Disaster Recovery with Storage Replication.

First script on Main Site, creates Volume identifiers under CSV Volumes. So after a Volume restore, we can restore Volume names with that index. Also scripts exports all virtual machine configs. That will make it easier to restore all Virtual Machines on Hyper-V.

On Main Site:

##################################################
# START ON MAIN SITE
##################################################
 
# Clear VM Config
$TestVMConfigPath = Test-Path -Path "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VMExport.Config"
 
if ($TestVMConfigPath)
{
	Clear-Content -Path "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VMExport.Config"
}
 
# Export VM Config
$ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode
 
foreach ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes)
{
	# Get Virtual Machines
	$VMs = Get-VM -ComputerName $ClusterNode
 
	# Export VM Config
	foreach ($VM in $VMs)
	{
		# Get Virtual Machines
		$VMConfigPath = $VM.ConfigurationLocation + "\Virtual Machines\" + $VM.Id + ".xml"
 
		# Export to Config File
		Add-Content -Value $VMConfigPath -Path "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VMExport.Config"
	}
}
 
# Read All CSV Directories
$CSVVolumes = Get-ChildItem "C:\ClusterStorage"
 
foreach ($CSVVolume in $CSVVolumes)
{
	# Get CSV Volume Name
	$CSVVolumeName = $CSVVolume.Name
 
	# Get CSV Identifier Name
	$CSVIdentifierName = $CSVVolumeName + ".CSV"
 
	# Get CSV Path
	$CSVPath = $CSVVolume.FullName
 
	# Get CSV Identifier Path
	$CSVIdentifierPath = $CSVPath + "\" + $CSVIdentifierName
 
	# Test CSV Identifier Path
	$TestCSVIdentifierPath = Test-Path $CSVIdentifierPath
 
	if (!$TestCSVIdentifierPath)
	{
		# Create CSV Identifier
		New-Item -Path "$CSVPath" -Name "$CSVIdentifierName" -ItemType File
	}
}

Second Script on DR site, clears all old objects on Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. Restores volume names according to Volume Identifiers. After that imports all virtual machines by using our virtual machine exports.

On DR Site:

##################################################
# START ON DR SITE
##################################################
 
# Clear Failover Cluster Objects
$ClusterGroup = Get-ClusterGroup | Where GroupType -eq "VirtualMachine" | Remove-ClusterGroup -RemoveResources -Force
 
# Get All Cluster Nodes
$ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode
 
if ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes)
{
	Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ClusterNode -ScriptBlock {
 
		# Stop Hyper-V Management Service
		Set-Service "vmms" -StartupType Disabled
		Stop-Service "vmms"
 
		# Clear Hyper-V Database
		Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines" | Remove-Item
	}
}
 
# Read All CSV Directories
$CSVVolumes = Get-ChildItem "C:\ClusterStorage"
 
# Clear Iteration
$i = 1;
 
foreach ($CSVVolume in $CSVVolumes)
{	
	# Create Time Guid
	$TimeGuid = (Get-Date).ToString("ddMMyyyyhhmmss")
 
	# Change CSV Volume Name
	$CSVVolume | Rename-Item -NewName "CSVolume$TimeGuid$i"
 
	# Update Iteration
	$i++
}
 
# Read Updated CSV Directories
$CSVVolumes = Get-ChildItem "C:\ClusterStorage"
 
foreach ($CSVVolume in $CSVVolumes)
{
	# Get CSV Volume Name
	$CSVVolumeName = $CSVVolume.Name
 
	# Get CSV Volume Filter
	$CSVVolumeFilter = "*.CSV"
 
	# Get CSV Path
	$CSVPath = $CSVVolume.FullName
 
	# Find CSV Identifier
	$CSVIdentifier = $Null;
	$CSVIdentifier = (Get-ChildItem "$CSVPath" -Filter "$CSVVolumeFilter" -Recurse).Name
	$CSVIdentifier = $CSVIdentifier.Split(".")[0]
 
	if ($CSVIdentifier)
	{
		# CSV Volume ID
		$NewCSVVolumeName = "Volume" + $CSVIdentifier.Substring("0,6")
 
		# Change CSV Volume Name
		$CSVVolume | Rename-Item -NewName "$NewCSVVolumeName"
	}
	else
	{
		Write-Host "Error: Could not find CSV Identifier for $CSVVolume"
	}
}
 
# Get All Cluster Nodes
$ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode
 
if ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes)
{
	Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ClusterNode -ScriptBlock {
 
		# Start Hyper-V Management Service
		Set-Service "vmms" -StartupType Automatic
		Start-Service "vmms"
	}
}
 
# Get VM Import Config
$VMImportConfig = Get-Content "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VMExport.Config"
 
foreach ($VM in $VMImportConfig)
{
	# Import Virtual Machine
	$ImportVM = Import-VM $VM
 
	# Get Virtual Machine Name
	$VMName = $ImportVM.Name
 
	# Add VM to Failover Cluster
	Add-VMToCluster $VMName
}

################################################## # START ON DR SITE ################################################## # Clear Failover Cluster Objects $ClusterGroup = Get-ClusterGroup | Where GroupType -eq "VirtualMachine" | Remove-ClusterGroup -RemoveResources -Force # Get All Cluster Nodes $ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode if ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes) { Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ClusterNode -ScriptBlock { # Stop Hyper-V Management Service Set-Service "vmms" -StartupType Disabled Stop-Service "vmms" # Clear Hyper-V Database Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines" | Remove-Item } } # Read All CSV Directories $CSVVolumes = Get-ChildItem "C:\ClusterStorage" # Clear Iteration $i = 1; foreach ($CSVVolume in $CSVVolumes) { # Create Time Guid $TimeGuid = (Get-Date).ToString("ddMMyyyyhhmmss") # Change CSV Volume Name $CSVVolume | Rename-Item -NewName "CSVolume$TimeGuid$i" # Update Iteration $i++ } # Read Updated CSV Directories $CSVVolumes = Get-ChildItem "C:\ClusterStorage" foreach ($CSVVolume in $CSVVolumes) { # Get CSV Volume Name $CSVVolumeName = $CSVVolume.Name # Get CSV Volume Filter $CSVVolumeFilter = "*.CSV" # Get CSV Path $CSVPath = $CSVVolume.FullName # Find CSV Identifier $CSVIdentifier = $Null; $CSVIdentifier = (Get-ChildItem "$CSVPath" -Filter "$CSVVolumeFilter" -Recurse).Name $CSVIdentifier = $CSVIdentifier.Split(".")[0] if ($CSVIdentifier) { # CSV Volume ID $NewCSVVolumeName = "Volume" + $CSVIdentifier.Substring("0,6") # Change CSV Volume Name $CSVVolume | Rename-Item -NewName "$NewCSVVolumeName" } else { Write-Host "Error: Could not find CSV Identifier for $CSVVolume" } } # Get All Cluster Nodes $ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode if ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes) { Invoke-Command -ComputerName $ClusterNode -ScriptBlock { # Start Hyper-V Management Service Set-Service "vmms" -StartupType Automatic Start-Service "vmms" } } # Get VM Import Config $VMImportConfig = Get-Content "C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\VMExport.Config" foreach ($VM in $VMImportConfig) { # Import Virtual Machine $ImportVM = Import-VM $VM # Get Virtual Machine Name $VMName = $ImportVM.Name # Add VM to Failover Cluster Add-VMToCluster $VMName }

After that, you will be able to start your virtual machines.

How to drain all VMs and Virtual Disks from a CSV on Hyper-V?

Posted in Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Powershell, Windows Server | 3 Comments | 3,060 views | 09/06/2014 01:19

Sometimes, you may need to empty your CSV volume for a maintenance operation or due to a volume corruption.
So you can use this script if you need to drain all virtual machines and virtual disks from a CSV.

# Target Volume
$TargetVolume = "Volume8"
 
# Get Cluster Nodes
$ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode
 
foreach ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes)
{
	# Clear Variables
	$VMs = $Null;
 
	# Get All Virtual Machines on Target Volume
	$VMs = Get-VM -ComputerName "$ClusterNode" | Where ConfigurationLocation -like "C:\ClusterStorage\$TargetVolume*"
 
	foreach ($VM in $VMs)
	{
		# Get VM Information
		$VMName = $VM.Name
 
		Write-Host " "
		Write-Host "Working on $VMName .."
		Write-Host "Hyper-V Host: $ClusterNode"
 
		# Get Volume Information
		$Volume = ((Get-ClusterSharedVolume | Where {$_.SharedVolumeInfo.FriendlyVolumeName -notlike "*$TargetVolume*"} | Select -ExpandProperty SharedVolumeInfo | Select @{label="Name";expression={(($_.FriendlyVolumeName).Split("\"))[-1]}},@{label="FreeSpace";expression={($_ | Select -Expand Partition).FreeSpace}} | Sort FreeSpace -Descending)[0]).Name
 
		# Move Virtual Machine
		Move-VMStorage -ComputerName "$ClusterNode" -VMName "$VMName" -DestinationStoragePath "C:\ClusterStorage\$Volume\$VMName"
 
		Write-Host "Done."
	}
}

That will move all virtual machines via Storage Live Migration into best available CSV volume.

What happens if you messed up with CSV Volumes? Solution: Repair-VMConfig

Posted in Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Powershell, Windows Server | No Comment | 1,946 views | 08/06/2014 21:56

Your Hyper-V storage environment crashed and you restored it from a backup or volume snapshot or you want to restore all virtual machines to the Disaster Center via Storage Replication. You added new storage luns into Failover Cluster but CSV names are changed. In that case you may not be able to import Virtual Machines into Hyper-V quickly due to incorrect virtual disk paths.

This script will check all Virtual Machine configs and shows you which configuration is not correct.
Then you can fix it manually or you can fix it via this script.

function Repair-VMConfig {
 
<#
    .SYNOPSIS
 
        Function to repair Virtual Machine config after CSV volume path changes.
        You should put a volume identifier into CSV volumes to be able to use this script.
	Simply put a Volume1.CSV into Volume1 as a volume identifier.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
 
	In some cases, CSV volume names could be changed. So you may not start your virtual machines due to incorrect virtual disk paths.
	This function is written to fix this issue. It finds all Virtual Machines configuration problems and shows you as a output.
	If you use ApplyChanges switch, it stops all Hyper-V Management Services in all Cluster Nodes, backups VM configs and fix incorrect VM virtual disk paths. Restarts Hyper-V Management Services after changes.
	You should put a volume identifier into CSV volumes to be able to use this script. Simply put a Volume1.CSV into Volume1 as a volume identifier.
 
    .PARAMETER  WhatIf
 
        Display what would happen if you would run the function with given parameters.
 
    .PARAMETER  Confirm
 
        Prompts for confirmation for each operation. Allow user to specify Yes/No to all option to stop prompting.
 
    .EXAMPLE
 
        Repair-VMConfig
	Just shows VM configuration problems and do not take any action unless you add -ApplyChanges switch.
 
    .EXAMPLE
 
        Repair-VMConfig -ApplyChanges
        Stops all Hyper-V Management Services in all Cluster Nodes, backups VM configs and fix incorrect VM virtual disk paths. Restarts Hyper-V Management Services after changes.
 
    .INPUTS
 
        ApplyChanges switch to apply changes on Virtual Machines.
 
    .OUTPUTS
 
        None

function Repair-VMConfig { <# .SYNOPSIS Function to repair Virtual Machine config after CSV volume path changes. You should put a volume identifier into CSV volumes to be able to use this script. Simply put a Volume1.CSV into Volume1 as a volume identifier. .DESCRIPTION In some cases, CSV volume names could be changed. So you may not start your virtual machines due to incorrect virtual disk paths. This function is written to fix this issue. It finds all Virtual Machines configuration problems and shows you as a output. If you use ApplyChanges switch, it stops all Hyper-V Management Services in all Cluster Nodes, backups VM configs and fix incorrect VM virtual disk paths. Restarts Hyper-V Management Services after changes. You should put a volume identifier into CSV volumes to be able to use this script. Simply put a Volume1.CSV into Volume1 as a volume identifier. .PARAMETER WhatIf Display what would happen if you would run the function with given parameters. .PARAMETER Confirm Prompts for confirmation for each operation. Allow user to specify Yes/No to all option to stop prompting. .EXAMPLE Repair-VMConfig Just shows VM configuration problems and do not take any action unless you add -ApplyChanges switch. .EXAMPLE Repair-VMConfig -ApplyChanges Stops all Hyper-V Management Services in all Cluster Nodes, backups VM configs and fix incorrect VM virtual disk paths. Restarts Hyper-V Management Services after changes. .INPUTS ApplyChanges switch to apply changes on Virtual Machines. .OUTPUTS None .NOTES Author: Yusuf Ozturk Website: http://www.yusufozturk.info Email: ysfozy@gmail.com Date created: 07-June-2014 Last modified: 08-June-2014 Version: 1.2 .LINK http://www.yusufozturk.info http://twitter.com/yusufozturk #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param ( # Do you confirm changes on Virtual Machines?

You should add -ApplyChanges switch in order to confirm changes on virtual machine configs. That will backup all VM configs before modification. Also that will stop and start all Hyper-V Management Services in all cluster nodes due to changes on VM configs.

Live Storage Migration of Selected Virtual Machines in Hyper-V Cluster via PowerShell

Posted in Virtual Machine Manager, Windows Powershell, Windows Server | No Comment | 1,905 views | 06/06/2014 08:39

You can migrate selected Virtual Machines in a Hyper-V Cluster with following script.
That will migrate all virtual machines into target volume.
If target volume is not specified, it will look for best available CSV volume, and migrate virtual machine into that.

# Target Volume
$TargetVolume = "Volume1"
 
# Create VM Array
$VMArray = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
$VMArray.Clear();
 
$AddArray = $VMArray.Add("VM01")
$AddArray = $VMArray.Add("VM02")
$AddArray = $VMArray.Add("VM03")
 
# Get Cluster Nodes
$ClusterNodes = Get-Cluster | Get-ClusterNode
 
foreach ($ClusterNode in $ClusterNodes)
{
	# Get All Virtual Machines
	$VMs = Get-VM -ComputerName "$ClusterNode"
 
	foreach ($VM in $VMs)
	{
		# Get VM Information
		$VMName = $VM.Name
 
		if ($VMArray.Contains($VMName) -eq $True)
		{ 
			Write-Host " "
			Write-Host "Working on $VMName .."
			Write-Host "Hyper-V Host: $ClusterNode"
 
			if (!$TargetVolume)
			{
				# Get Volume Information
				$Volume = ((Get-ClusterSharedVolume | Select -ExpandProperty SharedVolumeInfo | Select @{label="Name";expression={(($_.FriendlyVolumeName).Split("\"))[-1]}},@{label="FreeSpace";expression={($_ | Select -Expand Partition).FreeSpace}} | Sort FreeSpace -Descending)[0]).Name
			}
			else
			{
				$Volume = $TargetVolume
			}
 
			# Move Virtual Machine
			Move-VMStorage -ComputerName "$ClusterNode" -VMName "$VMName" -DestinationStoragePath "C:\ClusterStorage\$Volume\$VMName"
 
			Write-Host "Done."
		}
	}
}

This script should work even if you have pass-through disks on virtual machine or virtual hba.
