issues with Find-VBRHvEntity

[frankU32]

If I use the command:

Find-VBRHvEntity -name [vmname]

It essentially locks up my Veeam instance. am I doing something wrong here or is this just a really inefficient way to search for VM's?

OK quick update. It does work but it takes a very long time to give a result. 10+ mins. I feel like that isn't right

[veremin]

Correct, it's rather slow cmdlet that take significant time to collect the data. What you can do, though, is to store the results in hash table and work only with it afterwards; should make the overall script faster. Thanks.

Looking at the SQL when you run this command it seems to do a select * from a whole bunch of tables. Is there any chance you guys could pop this commandlet on your list of things that need improvement?

[veremin]

It's been there for a while waiting for spare development and QA resources. Thanks.

Any news here?

[veremin]

How big your environment is? How long it takes for the said cmdlet to collect information? Recently we've tried to confirm this behaviour and the cmdet has run rather fast. Thanks!

[theq77]

2 Environments:
* 200 VMs => nearly a minute
* 1000 VMs => nearly 9 minutes

And the last question before we investigate it deeper - you're on the latest product version, right? Thanks!

Same issue here.... command takes forever to complete. Running 9.5u4.

[veremin]

9.5 U4 or U4a/U4b? Also, can you provide more details regarding your infrastructure (number of VMs) and time it takes to execute the cmdlet? Thanks!

- 9.5.4.2866 but it has been this since a few updates.
- We have a support call running at the moment, but also had one for 6 months ago but couldn't really get to the bottom of it and it seemed good enough to work with. Now the delay has increased to insane numbers.
- After 1 hour I broke off the scripts.

This little piece takes about an hour and then I just cancel it:

$EntSourceObj = @()
$EntSourceObj = Find-VBRHvEntity -Server $SourceSCVMM -Name "vmname"

- We have 1 SCVMM server with about 100 hosts, 2000 VMs.
- We have 7 vCenters with about 300 hosts, 5000VMs. All vCenter queries are really quick.

[veremin]

We're aware of the degraded performance of the said cmdlet. The performance enhancements are planned for one of the next product releases. Thanks!

[wiede78]

it still has bad performance as I see...or is the next product release not out?

Hi,

Has anything changed with v11a? Any precise metrics to share?
Also, could you please share case ids regarding this issue if you have had any in the past?

Thanks,
Oleg

For me it has changed:

Version: 11.0.1.1261
$EntSourceObj = @()
Measure-Command{
$EntSourceObj = Find-VBRHvEntity -Server $SourceSCVMM -Name "vmname"
}

Minutes : 2
Seconds : 40
