Get-SpbmStoragePolicy Issue

[PowerRails]

Hi,

We rely on PowerCLI to automate some of the tasks we need to perform and the Get-SpbmStoragePolicy seems broken.

ERROR:

That is a known issue I'm afraid, see also Get-SpbmStoragePolicy and Get-Tag Issues, again - VMware Technology Network VMTN

I would suggest opening an SR.

Thank you LucD !

I will see if I can open a SR.

Could you tell me if there is already a SR number where that issue has been reported to support ?

I think I am not the only one having this problem and this is a very common method used for VSAN.

Thanks again for the quick reply.

*** ALL CLEAR ***

Updated to latest PowerCLI version and everything works fine now.

I'm afraid I don't have an SR number.

Should GSS claim that you need Developer Support to be able to open an SR for PowerCLI, that is not correct.
Point them to PowerCLI Support Breakdown

Strange, that is in fact the version the other thread was using.

But good it solved your issue.

I forgot to mention an important point.

My ENV is a Beta release (VC+ESXi).

Something might have changed on the latest beta that broke that API and needs the latest PowerCLI version.
