Find-VBRViEntity timeout support?

[jcolonfzenpr]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to set a timeout for the Find-VBRViEntity cmdlet, as it often gets stuck indefinitely.

I have attempted to use Start-Job and Wait-Job, but it appears that this cmdlet does not function well with these methods.

Do you have any suggestions for implementing a timeout for this cmdlet?

Thanks!

Using a runspace was the only approach that worked.

Thanks!

Hi Jonathan,

No built-in way of setting a timeout, so use runspace like you're doing, it will be the best option right now.

Out of curiosity, is this happening only with very large VMware environments or you see it even with fairly small environments? ( < 1000 VMs)

Similarly, does it happen with every Find-VBRViEntity parameter or only ones that may return many results like -VmsAndTemplates?
