Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource targeting VCSA 7.0.1 (Build 16858589) results in an Error?

Hi,

can someone confirm that calling "Get-View -ViewType ComputeResource" or "Get-View -ViewType ClusterComputeResource" targeting a VCSA 7.0.1 (Build 16858589) results in an Error?

I have tested from multiple Hosts targeting two different vCenters.

Sample Error Message: ->

Get-View : 10.10.2020 15:45:01  Get-View                Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

At line:1 char:1

VMware.VimAutomation.Sdk      12.0.0.15939651

Is this a Bug, or did is miss something with new VCSA-Build and doing wrong?

Thanks

Nico

This is a known issue, will be fixed in PowerCLI 12.1 which should normally be released next week.
