A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'V2'

[l3mm0n]

Version: 1.0.4 Command:

Get-ESXInventory -esxi [hostname] -Configuration

Results: I get most of the configuration but there are some errors at the top that I think are stopping some of the information.

Hey thanks for opening an issue! I'll ask Edgar to take a look soon - but, you know, VMworld :)

l3mm0n, you need to be running the latest version of powercli. The errors you are receiving indicate you either do not have the latest version OR the host(s) you are referencing are not esxi 5.0 or later or vcenter 5.0 or later, which is what is supported. vDocumentation uses the new version of Get-ESXiCLI with the -V2 parameter which your execution is complaining about. You need to update your powercli to the latest version.

Maybe it would be appropriate to add a

requires -modules @{ModuleName="VMware.VimAutomation.Core";ModuleVersion="6.3.0.0"}

Some quick Googling has me thinking that 6.3 is when the -v2 flag was added.

I'll leave this one open, and I will add this to the Readme.md - hopefully l3mm0n can upgrade

[l3mm0n]

Yes, you're right. I had the wrong version of PowerCLI. I'm new to PowerShell Gallery and still had the old v6.0 installed. Everything looks good now, no blank spots.

Cool, good to know! I'll add it to the FAQ
