finding racks in specific datacenter via powershell

RussF — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 19:24:49 GMT

Our racks have been named the same in multiple datacenters. I need a way to say something like get-hpovracj -name R1* -datacenter DC1. This is to allow me to put a server in the correct rack via add-HPOVResourceToRack. Can someone help out witm some sameple code or a way to accomplish this if I am using the wrong cmdlets?

Thanks

The Get-HPOVRack Cmdlet does not currently support filtering based on datacenter location. I created a new enhancement issue on the project tracker. Can you please follow up with what version of the library you are using?

I also added a code snippet you can use to get the racks from the appliance index that are associated with a specific data center.

I plan to add this to both the 4.20 and 5.00 library as an enhancement.
