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-HypConfigurationObjectForItem [-LiteralPath] <String> [-BearerToken <String>] [-AdminAddress <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
<!--NeedCopy-->

Detailed 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 (GB).

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
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; :\Connections\\ or :\Connections{\} or :\HostingUnits\\ or :\HostingUnits{\} true true (ByValue)  
BearerToken Specifies the bearer token assigned to the calling user false false  
AdminAddress Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller that the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. This can be provided as a host name or an IP address. false false LocalHost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value will become the default.

Input Type

System.String
You Can Pipe A String The Contains A Path To Get-Hypconfigurationdataforitem

Return Values

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.
Network Map
The Networks That This Vm Or Snaphot Is Connected To

Notes

For this release this cmdlet only provides configuration data for VM objects in the provider. Using a path to an item that is not a VM will result in a error.
In the case of failure the following errors can be produced.
