Retrieves the configuration data for an item in the Host Service provider path. Note: For this release, only VM items are supported for this operation.

Syntax

Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem
   [-LiteralPath] <String>
   [<CitrixCommonParameters>]
   [<CommonParameters>]
<!--NeedCopy-->

Description

This command provides a mechanism for retrieving extra data about an entry in the hosting unit service provider. The referenced item must be contained within the connections directory in the provider (i.e. XDHyp:\Connections).

This mechanism is used for obtaining data that is not required frequently and/or has a high overhead associated with its retrieval (so as to maintain the responsiveness of the provider). For this release of the PowerShell snap-in, the only provider items that can be used with this operation are VM items. For a VM, this provides a mechanism to obtain the number of CPUs, the amount of Memory (in MB) and hard disk drive capacity (in GB).

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This command gets the configuration properties for a VM called ‘MyVm.vm’ within a hypervisor connection called ‘MyConnection’.

Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem -LiteralPath XDHyp:\Connections\MyConnection\MyVm.vm

                              CpuCount                                MemoryMB                          HardDiskSizeGB
                              --------                                --------                          --------------
                                     1                                    1024                                      24

EXAMPLE 2

This command gets the configuration properties for a VM called ‘MyVm.vm’ within the current directory. The dot (.) represents the current location (not its contents).

XDHyp:\HostingUnits\PS>Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem -LiteralPath .\MyVm.vm

                              CpuCount                                MemoryMB                          HardDiskSizeGB
                              --------                                --------                          --------------
                                     1                                    1024                                      24

EXAMPLE 3

This command gets the CPU count for a VM called ‘MyVm.vm’. The CPUCount is just one property of the VM items. To see all properties of an item, type “(Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem <ItemPath>) | Get-Member”.

(Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem -LiteralPath XDHyp:\Connections\MyConnection\MyVm.vm).CPUCount
<!--NeedCopy-->

Parameters

-LiteralPath

Specifies the path within a hosting unit provider to the item for which configuration data is to be retrieved. The path specified must be in one of the following formats;

<drive>:\Connections\<Connection Name>\<Item Path of VM object>

or <drive>:\Connections{<connection Uid>\<Item Path of VM object>}

or <drive>:\HostingUnits\<HostingUnit Name>\<Item Path of VM object>

or <drive>:\HostingUnits{<hostingUnit Uid>\<Item Path of VM object>}

Type: String
Position: 1
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

CitrixCommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common Citrix parameters: -AdminAddress, -AdminClientIP, -BearerToken, -TraceParent, -TraceState and -VirtualSiteId. For more information, see about_CitrixCommonParameters.

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

Inputs

String

You can pipe a string that contains a path to Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem

Outputs

PSObject

Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem returns a PSObject containing the properties that are appropriate for the item specified by the path.

Properties for VM Item ———————- CPUCount <int>

Specifies the number of CPUs assigned to the VM.

MemoryMB <int>

The amount of memory allocated to the VM.

HardDiskSizeGB <int>

The capacity of the primary hard drive assigned to the VM.

Notes

For this release, this cmdlet provides only configuration data for VM objects in the provider. Using a path to an item that is not a VM results in a error.

In the case of failure the following errors can result.

Error Codes

InputHypervisorItemPathInvalid

The path provided is not to an item in a sub-directory of a connection item or a hosting unit item.

InvalidHypervisorItemPath

No item exists with the specified path.

InvalidHypervisorItem

The item specified by the path exists, but is not a VM Item.

DatabaseError

An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation.

DatabaseNotConfigured

The operation could not be completed because the database for the service is not configured.

DataStoreException

An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation - communication with the database failed for

various reasons.

CommunicationError

An error occurred while communicating with the service.

InvalidFilter

A filtering expression was supplied that could not be interpreted for this cmdlet.
