Registration/unregistration of third-party IO filter storage

ChrisROI — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 13:21:42 GMT

Hi,

I have to refresh the IO Filter Registration on a list of ESXi Hosts.

I found that command in kb article https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/51999

/usr/lib/vmware/iofilter/bin/iofvp-ctrl-app -r

Is there a way to do this by powercli?

Thank you in advance.

Only via an SSH session afaik.
But you can set up an SSH session and send commands with the Posh-SSH module.
I did a short dive on that, see Use Posh-SSH instead of PuTTY

Hi Luc,

yes I have seen that option with SSH Posh in related posts and searched the cli possibilites with your function Get-EsxCliCommand (great function, thank you for that). Than I will try my luck with that SSH Posh.

Thank you LucD again

Greetings

Chris
