Get Nutanix Backup Jobs from powershell

[jcolonfzenpr]

Hi,

Is there any way to get Nutanix backup jobs from powershell?





Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Jonathan,

Currently no support via Powershell for Nutanix; consider using REST API for now.

The request for powershell integration with Nutanix and other platforms is known, and each release we're working on better parity between console and automation options (REST API/Powershell), so stay tuned, but for now please try the REST API for your automation needs with Nutanix backups.

Hi David,

The Restapi target is the VBR server or the VBR for Nutanix AHV 7 running inside the Nutanix host?

Thanks

The target is the appliance running on the Nutanix hosts in this case. Long term, full parity between our automation endpoints and the console is the goal, but for now please use the REST API.

Dears:

Can powershell cmdlet support get info from AHV?. We need customize some job outputs using cmdlet.

Thanks in advance.

Hi caspar32,

I've moved your post to an existing topic on the subject. Please see my previous answer as the only supported means of managing Nutanix jobs via automation is with the Appliance REST API.

If it's essential to use powershell, the following unsupported workaround can be used:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRLicenseAutoUpdateStatus | Out-Null #Needed to allow .NET Reflection below
[Veeam.Backup.Core.CBackupJob]::GetAll() | Where-Object {$_.TypeToString -like "*Nutanix*"}

It is very important that you use this for reporting only; the second line is .NET reflection and will not receive support for any issues should you encounter them.
