Get-HypHypervisorPlugin returns a list of objects containing the definition of the hypervisor plug-ins.

  • ConnectionType <Citrix.XDInterServiceTypes.ConnectionType> The hypervisor connection type. This can be one of the following: XenServer - XenServer hypervisor SCVMM - Microsoft SCVMM/Hyper-V vCenter - VMWare vSphere/ESX Custom - a third-party hypervisor

  • DisplayName <string> The localized display name (localized using the locale of the Powershell snap-in session)

  • PluginFactoryName <string> The name of the hypervisor plug-in factory used to manage the hypervisor connections.

  • UsesCloudInfrastructure <Boolean> Specifies whether or not the underlying hypervisor plug-in factory employs cloud-hosted infrastructure.

  • CitrixVerified <Boolean> Specifies whether or not the underlying hypervisor plug-in is verified by Citrix.

Notes

To use third-party plug-ins, the plug-in assemblies must be installed into the appropriate location on each controller machine that forms part of the Citrix controller site. Failure to do this can result in unpredictable behavior, especially during service failover conditions. In the case of failure the following errors can result.

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

  • CommunicationError: An error occurred while communicating with the service.

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

  • ExceptionThrown: An unexpected error occurred. To locate more details, see the Windows event logs on the controller being used or examine the XenDesktop logs.
