$esxcli

[tdubb123]

any idea how I can run this from powercli?

# esxcli hardware ipmi sel clear            ;  clear the IPMI SEL logs prior to restart WBEM service.

# esxcli system wbem set -e 0               ;   disable wbem service

# esxcli system wbem set -e 1               ;  enable wbem service

# /etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart

Yes, use the Get-EsxCli cmdlet. See also PowerCLI 6.3 R1: Get-ESXCLI Why the V2?

PS: do you ever get back or reply to threads you launch?

I am stuck on one line

$esxcli = get-esxcli -vmhost $vmhost -V2

$esxcli.hardware.ipmi.sel.clear <-----

$esxcli.system.wbem.get.invoke()

$esxcli.system.wbem.set.createArgs()

$esxcli.system.wbem.set.Invoke(@{enable=$false})

$esxcli.system.wbem.set.Invoke(@{enable=$true})

everything else is working

Thanks. I will close out the other threads

Thanks

That should be

$arg = $esxcli.hardware.ipmi.sel.clear.CreateArgs()

# Set your values in $arg

$esxcli.hardware.ipmi.sel.clear.Invoke($arg)

[tdubb123]

what should $args be?  I just need to clear the sel log

[LucD · Accepted solution]

In that case you don't need to pass anything, just call without a parameter

$esxcli.hardware.ipmi.sel.clear.Invoke()
