What’s New With PowerCLI 12.6 Release

It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of PowerCLI 12.6. As many of you know, with PowerCLI 12.4, we introduced a new PowerShell binding for vSphere Automation API. With this, the experience of working with vSphere REST APIs was greatly simplified. I have covered the working of new API bindings in the PowerCLI 12.4 release blog post, and you can refer to it for more information. With PowerCLI 12.6, we are extending the PowerShell Bindings to NSX Policy manager APIs.

Key Highlights

1.     PowerShell Binding for NSX Policy Manager APIs

A new module, i.e., VMware.Sdk.Nsx.Policy has been added to provide PowerShell binding for NSX Policy Manager APIs.

2.    New cmdlets for vCenter Server Appliance Management

New cmdlets have been added to manage vCenter Server appliance backups:

New-ApplianceBackupJob : This cmdlet starts a file-based backup job for a vCenter Server system to a backup server.

Wait-ApplianceBackupJob : This cmdlet monitors the progress of a backup job and returns the ApplianceBackupJob.

Get-ApplianceBackupJob : This cmdlet retrieves a list of finished or currently running backup jobs.

Stop-ApplianceBackupJob : This cmdlet stops a list of running backup jobs matching the specified parameters.

Get-ApplianceBackupPart : Retrieves a list of parts that can be included in a backup job, and their estimated backup size. Non-optional backup parts are always included in the backup.

3.     VMware SRM 8.5

The VMware.VimAutomation.Srm module has been updated to support VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.5.

4.     Bugfixes
