List of supported parameters\methods per cmdlet?

[packetboy]

Hi,

The powercli cmdlets reference CHM file is OK but it does not list all the supported parameters and methods for a Cmdlet.. Is there anywhere this is listed somebody knows of? I am too lazy to mess around with get-member on all these cmdlets I just want to read it and know whats available...

Any places would be great!!

In my opinion Hal's book, Managing VMWare Infrastructure with Windows PowerShell: TFM, is currently the best source for that kind of information.

And there are the reference card from Alan and another one from Icomasoft.

These reference cards show you all PowerCLI cmdlets and their parameter sets, not the methods on the PowerCLI objects.

For the VI .Net objects you have the online API Reference Documentation.

For the vSphere .Net objects you find it in here.

And you can roll your own lists by using the Get-Command and Get-Member cmdlets.

That would in fact be a good PS exercise.

Hmm, some cookie fault caused me to lose my reply and thus let Luc answer my question first. And I'm not re-typoing it, so there!

Sorry Hal. I thought you didn't want to plug your own book, that's why I decided to do it for you
