Veeam Report Question

Post by micwv8 »

Hi,

We made the move to Veeam 8 earlier this week. It is working well.

I know Veeam Support does not cover PowerShell, so I thought I would post this question here.

One of 'my' scripts (it's actually a script I found – "My Veeam Report" from Shawn Masterson's Blog) is now broken. It is only one line that is broken though (I think).

That one broken line is:
$jobobjids = [Veeam.Backup.Core.CHierarchyObj]::GetObjectsOnHost($vcenterobj.id) | Where-Object {$_.GetItem().Type -eq "Vm"}

The error message is:
Method invocation failed because [Veeam.Backup.Core.CHierarchyObj] doesn't contain a method named 'GetItem'.
At line:1 char:98
+ ... Where-Object {$_.GetItem().Type -eq "Vm"}
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound


Would anyone know how I can now obtain Veeam job ids using PowerShell in Veeam 8?

Thanks.

Michael

I realized the code worked if I simply removed the GetItem()

All working now.

Thanks.

Even though I have no clues on what source code looks like, I still believe that Job Objects ID can be found in easier way:

Code: Select all

$jobobjids  = (Get-VBRJob -name "Name of your backup").GetObjectsInJob().id
Thanks.

fyi - the script report has been updated with a few minor tweaks for VBR v8

micwv8 Thanks for posting this I use this script often and when I found it did not work when I upgraded I not happy.

A note to v.Eremin, your suggestion did not work for me because my jobs are setup via folders and this only gives the folder names not the VMs.

Thanks again to all :mrgreen: :lol: :D

My script was about outputting objects IDs, not names. So, I'm not sure what names you're talking about. Thanks.
