Hello,
I would like to check via PowerCLI if one VM is ready against Spectre Variant 2 from the point of view of virtual hardware (hypervisor). Then the virtual machine should also include patches for the guest OS.
According to Hypervisor-Assisted Guest Mitigation for Branch Target injection (52085):
To confirm end to end operation including guest OS enablement of hardware support for branch target mitigation, check with your OS vendor.
I can check the hardware profile of a Virtual Machine thanks to PowerCLI. But, How Can I check that one VM has the new capabilities??
- Is there any PowerCLI command to check the capabilities of virtual CPUs of a given VM?
- Is there any PowerCLI command to parse the vmware.log of a given VM?
Thanks!
Christian
