Get list of installed patches on esxi hosts with VUM PowerCLI

Hey guys!

I have some problems with generating a report of installed patches. All my vSphere components are in version 5.0 (including VUM PowerCLI). Get-VMHostPatch doesn't give me anything, the cmdlet itself doesn't crash it just not returning any data.

This also doesn't work:

(Get-VMHost | Select-Object -First 1  | Get-EsxCli).software.vib.list()

as it gives the list of installed software, version etc.

I'd like to generate a list similar to:

host-355     Installed     ESXi500-201203208-UG     Updates the ESXi 5.0 scsi-rste     Moderate     FALSE     2013-05-29 11:25:19.013

that lists installed patches from VUM.

I guess that's possible with querying the VUM database itself, but is there any way to retrieve a list of patches from vCli or PowerCli?

_________

Thanks!

Ralphie
