Exclude a VM from discovery

Hi All,
can I exclude a VM from the discovery?
If yes. How?

I know this was almost a year ago, but I am having this same problem with vRealize Operations manager and Virtual Infrastructure Manager.
I think the way to exclude VMs by way of permissions is completely backwards. There should be some sort of area in the administration of the system where you can just remove what you do not want to report on. Not to mention that if you do accidentally get just ONE VM that you didn't mean to get in the fold, you have to completely reinstall vROPs!!! What kind of software works like that?!
As far as doing it the two ways mentioned, I don't think they are even valid workarounds. VIN won't let you use a user that is not an administrator on vCenter, so that first option is out. Secondly, disabling VMWare tools would work, but why would I want to cripple myself that much? VMWare tools are used for more things than just VIN.
Any one else have any suggestions to fix this???

  • How to exclude specific PCs or Organization Unit from discovery and All system collection?

    We want to exclude some PCs from discovery and All System collection.
    1. We want to exclude with out modfing query of All System collection and without modifiing registry.
    2. We want to exclude with Organization unit container.
    We have also tested Include and exclude option which is avaible in system discovery (Discovery method)  but it is not working as per expected.
    Please help us.

    Jason messaged me offline and said that the method of denying read access does not always work. I was thinking that I had done that back in 2003 but have not tested it in the past 10 years or so. It would be easy to test though if you want to give it a try.
    Just browse to the OU on ADUC, right click, properties, security tab. Click Add, change the object type to computers, enter the same of the server that performs discovery, click ok, click deny on all boxes and click OK.
    Actually I just did it to write the instructions above. When I see in my adsysdis.log clearly indicates to me that, in my environment, this works.

  • Excluding some computers from Active Directory System Discovery

    Hi,
    I am trying to exclude some computers from Active Directory System Discovery. I created a new Organizational Unit for those excluded computers and that OU is NOT under the OU that I am discovering  in the OU hierarchy. I specified the location
    to be discovered under the Active Directory System Discovery properties. However, it is still discovering the computers that I wanna exclude from the discovery.  I deleted those computers from console manually and run the discovery again, it still
    discovers them.
    What I might be doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you check under properties on the object, you can see which discovery agent is discovering the reasource, it could be the Group Discovery as well. That is where I would start to troubleshoot it.

  • Can I exclude places.sqlite from time machine backup?

    Hi,
    Just looking at the time machine backup and raised a question about the repeated backup of places.sqlite in "~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/", I am wondering if I can exclude this file from my backup or even exclude Profiles from my backup?
    What would this affect my backup? Are these all essentials?
    I have looked into this page and understand what places.sqlite does. However, what don't know is if this file is missing, does Firefox produce one automatically?
    Or say, if each of my places.sqlite in the prevoius backups was like 90MB, how much size would them really take in the storage?

    Alvyn wrote:
    Thus, I am thinking if this "places.sqlite" thing is there every hour putting around 100MB to my time capsule, quickly my time capsule will be depleted.
    No, that's very small.
    Is there any way to do something like trimming time points from time capsule?
    Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't have to. TM automatically "thins" (deletes) backups every time it does a new backup, on the following schedule:
    "Hourly" backups after 24 hours (except the first of the day, which is a "Daily" backup).
    "Daily" backups after a month (except the first of each week, which is a "Weekly" backup.)
    "Weekly" backups are kept until TM needs the space for new backups; then one or more of the oldest weeklies will be deleted.
    So after a month, even if you do an hourly backup every day, and that 100 mb file is changed and backed-up +*every time+* (not real likely), you'd have 54 backups (1 per day plus 24). That would take a total of 5.4 GB, small potatoes on any TM drive, and really not worth worrying about.
    But if you want, you could delete all the backups of it. See #12 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

  • How to exclude salary arrears from pension deduction?

    I have setup a pension retro element and its calculating the retro amount correctly.
    However, its using sum of salary arrears (say,arrears for the month of March and April) and adding that to May salary and deducting pension on the total sum.
    (we do not want this, we want only May salary to be considered for pension retro element)
    Does anyone know how to exclude salary arrears from pension deduction element? Is there any obvious step, which I am missing in while defining the element?

    Hi,
    While doing retro for arrears, it will give at a time in one payroll only, no standard for installment payments.
    2nd option:
    Calculate the Total Arrears amount and divide it by four installments and through IT 0014 with New wage type and give for 4 months as start and end date.
    * you have to create a new wage type which is taxable and assigned to IT 0014.
    * add this new wt in Remuneration form in Earnings side.

  • How do I properly exclude a folder from a time machine backup?

    I want to exclude my music from the backup to keep the size down because I already have it backed up on a separate device. I add my Music folder to the exclude list and the size estimate in the bottom right of the time machine options sheet reflects the exclusion but when the backup starts, the size of the backup is as if the folder was not excluded. How do I make it so that is actually does exclude the folder?

  • Is there any way to remove my hard drive with backup files in it from the exclude these items from backups???

    I currently have a MacBook Air and a 1TB external hard drive, and I run my iPhoto Library from the EHD and as well have TM backup my computer to that same HD. The problem I have is that I don't have a backup of that HD which has all my photos and other media, so If the HD takes a crap I can be in big trouble.
    So what I did is I purchased a new HD (My Cloud from WD) to back up my EHD. While setting everything up I ran into this
    TM included the EHD in the "Exclude these items from backup" list and I can't touch them, and I tried everything. I later found this
    The last sentence of #3 states why I can't.... Since the EHD has a backup file in it, it is excluded.
    So..... Does anybody have any idea of a way around this? Would I have to restart everything and set it up different? Or just have a better and easier way of doing this?? I'll appreciate any help and suggestions.

    What you need, is a dedicated image restauration filter that recognized the regular frequency pattern superimposed onto the prints. You can do this in advanced Image processing packages that let you compute the fourier transform of the image and then suppress or attanuate the frequency bands of the artefact with a band-stop filter.
    But neither Aperture nor PhotoShop have this kind of filter. In Aperture and Photoshop you can only soften the effect by blurring and then exporting a smaller version of the image.
    The algorithm that your scanner uses is probably the best that can be done, even if the resolution is only 100 dpi. 
    Do you still have the negatives? Scanning the negatives at a high resolution may give you better results.

  • Excluding storage location from MRP run in Long Term Planning

    Hi,friends,
         In my scenario , i want to exclude storage location from MRP run in long term planning.When i set storage location MRP indicator "2" in SPRO and SLoc MRP indicator "1" MRP4 in material master, i can exclude the storage location after run MRP with MD01/MD02,and i can see the expected result in MD04.But in Long Term Planning scenario the storage location can not be excluded after run MRP with MS01/MS02,and the requirements list in MS04 include the stock in the storage location i want to exclude. i dont know if i miss something.Plz give me some advice.
    Regards
    Joey

    Hi,
    Refer the OSS Note 208017 - LTP: Long-term planning and storage locations
    ==========================================================================
    Symptom
    In long-term planning (Transactions MSBT / MS01 / MS02 / MS03), the MRP indicator of a storage location for a material is not taken into account (material master, view MRP 2 [up to and including Release 3.1I] or MRP 4 [as of Release 4.0A]).
    The storage locations excluded by MRP or planned separately are also planned in the plant segment.
    Additional key words
    LTP, MM01, MM02, MM03, master data, MRP indicator, LGORT ...
    Cause and prerequisites
    The MRP indicator for a certain storage location of a material is only taken into account in operative planning (requirements planning, MRP).
    The long-term planning occurs exclusively at plant level.
    Solution
    This is no error. The system works as intended.
    The individual storage locations should not be distinguished in the long-term planning, in order to perform a comprehensive long-term planning.
    This is important, for example, within the kanban processing where the storage locations with kanban MRP are excluded from the MRP, but in spite of that should be included in the long-term planning.
    ==========================================================================

  • Exclude Master Pages From RH8 Search

    Is there a way to exclude master pages from RH8 searches? There is no option in the Master Page properties as with topics.
    What I did: I created a Master Page to add a "Download PDF version" link to the PDF version of the Help, in the same way that  RJ Jacquez did in his "Web 2.0 Documentation using Adobe AIR and RoboHelp 8 OnDemand Recording" tutorial. The difference is that Jacquez's sample used an image as the link, while I used text.
    Problem: "Download PDF version" is prepended to all search results (in the context line).
    The obvious workaround is to replace the text with an image representation instead. But I thought I would ask the question about master pages and searches anyway.

    Hi Jason
    I think you misunderstood me. Note that Master Pages may be used in different ways.
    They may be used as a starting off point for a topic. You create the topic, and much like a Word template, the Master Page partially builds the topic by having certain elements already in place. From there forward, you customize the topic to your needs. Subsequent changes to the Master Page have zero effect on any topics created from them.
    They may also be used to configure a Header and a Footer. You then associate the Master Page with the Header, Footer or both to several or all topics to give the associated topics the Header or Footer information from the Master Page. In this case, subsequent changes to the Header or Footer in the Master Page DO actually appear in all associated topics.
    I was talking about the latter option. I wasn't suggesting you move things into the HTML Head area of the topic.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How to Use COLUMN NOPRINT - need to exclude one column from Select *

    Dear Friends,
    I need to exclude one column from a SELECT * query. Everytime the column data type is BLOB, I dont' want it to be part of my SELECT. After googling I found some info about NOPRINT but it doesn't seem to be working in my case. May be I am using it incorreclty.
    COLUMN FILE_DESC NOPRINT
    SELECT * FROM FILES;
    Where FILE_DESC is of BLOB datatype.Can I use it in my SELECT or it has to be used in Dynamic SQL? Is there any other option to achieve this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    COLUMN FILE_DESC NOPRINT
    affects all queries in the same SQL*Plus session (unless you cancel it with a COLUMN FILE_DESC PRINT command.)  It doesn't matter if those queries are static or dynamic.  As mentioned before, COLUMN is a SQL*Plus command.  If you using a different front end, then it may have a different way to hide specific output columns.
    Did you have a poroblem when you tried it?  Post a complete test script that the people who want to help you can use to re-create the problem and test their ideas.

  • F110 - Exclude Credit Memos from original Invoice

    Good afternoon,
    Our go live was 1 month ago.
    We have prepared automatic payment process and everything works perfectly. Mainly, we base our process in the Payment Method Supplement field. Some payment methods group documents following different rules (restricted to 7 rows or as many as request).
    Our problem is that our customer does not want credit memos to be included never there (payment terms are taken from original invoice and when they pay the invoice, this credit is included). They want to identify ALWAYS what they are paying fulfilling the Payment Method Supplement field.
    Is there any chance not include the credit memo in these payments? For example, not copying Payment Method Supplement from the original invoice? any other idea? Please let me know. Regards,
    Javier

    Hi Renfe Proyecto Auge ,
    You can exclude Credit memos in Additional Fields there you have to select Excluded and from hidden field select document radio button and from the list select Document Type (BKPF-BLART),
    after this you have to choose Document type credit memo what ever you maintained for Credit memo, accordingly system will exclude the values from Automatic Payment Run.

  • Nakisa Org Chart 2.1 - excluding org units from extract and saving chart

    Hi,
    Is it possible to exclude specific org units from the org chart that is extracted to Nakisa? These (and all subordinate) org units should not be included in the chart which is to be published on the intranet.
    Also, what is the easiest way to create a file (e.g. PDF, PowerPoint) of all org units and positions in the structure? I've looked into using the ChartBook functionality but this did not seem to work too well, and there was no option to Save or Print the chart.
    We have Nakisa OrgChart 2.1 SP1 running on SAP CE. This is with a staged extract out of SAP ERP which is hosted on Windows and SQL.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Stephen and Luke.
    I will look into your comments re: excluding org units from the directory searches etc when next at the customer site.
    As for the Chartbook issue - the customer is looking to create a file (e.g. HTML, PDF) of the entire org structure which they can then make available on the intranet. (They currently only have license for a couple of HR users so ESS access is not an option right now). We have looked at using the standard Print/Export options as well as the Chartbook and neither seems to work particularly well....the customer keeps referring back to how easy it is to create a HTML file using OrgPublisher....
    What is the recommended and best approach for creating a file which can be published on a company's intranet? (There are about 1000 positions/employees in total so not a huge file).
    Hopefully v3.0 is a whole lot easier to use
    Thanks, Ron

  • Is it possible to exclude a HOST from  DRS.

    Hi, I want to know if it possible (maybe in DRS advances options) to exclude a Host from the DRS.
    I got one cluster with 8 hosts. I want to let the DRS on the cluster for all the host except one.
    I don't want to create a rule to exclude VMs from the host.
    I want the DRS to continue to work on the cluster but I want it to not considered a specific host.
    Thanx

    All our hosts in the cluster are the same except for one.
    9 x HP Proliant DL580 G5 (16CPUs x 2.933GHz)
    1 x HP Proliant DL580 G7 (24CPUs x 2.663 GHz)
    The DRS seems to have difficulty to balance efficiently the charge on this one. For example, all other servers are at 30% CPU and Memory at 70%. At the same time, the G7 keeps having a charge at 50% CPU and 92% memory, no-mater which VM is on it.
    So what I would have like to do was to exclude this specific host from the DRS and control his charge manually. At least to test it.
    I know that the best practice recommend to have all the same hardware, but it's not always possible.
