# Get-HypConfigurationObjectForItem

Retrieves the configuration data for an item in the Host Service provider path. Note: For this release, only VM items are supported for this operation.

Syntax

Get-HypConfigurationObjectForItem [-LiteralPath] <String> [-AdminAddress <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This command provides a mechanism for retrieving extra data about an entry in the hosting unit service provider. The referenced item must be contained within the connections directory in the provider (i.e. XDHyp:\Connections).

This mechanism is used for obtaining data that is not required frequently and/or has a high overhead associated with its retrieval (so as to maintain the responsiveness of the provider). For this release of the PowerShell snap-in the only provider items that can be used with this operation are VM items. For a VM this provides a mechanism to obtain the number of CPUs, the amount of Memory (in MB) and hard disk drive capacity (GB).

Parameters

Name Description Required? Pipeline Input Default Value
LiteralPath Specifies the path within a hosting unit provider to the item for which configuration data is to be retrieved. The path specified must be in one of the following formats; :\Connections\\ or :\Connections{\} or :\HostingUnits\\ or :\HostingUnits{\} true true (ByValue)
AdminAddress Specifies the address of a XenDesktop controller that the PowerShell snap-in will connect to. This can be provided as a host name or an IP address. false false LocalHost. Once a value is provided by any cmdlet, this value will become the default.

Input Type

System.string
You can pipe a string the contains a path to Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem

Return Values

PSObject
Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem returns a PSObject containing the properties that are appropriate for the item specified by the path.
Properties for VM Item
----------------------
CPUCount
Specifies the number of CPUs assigned to the VM.
MemoryMB
The amount of memory allocated to the VM.
HardDiskSizeGB
The capacity of the primary hard drive assigned to the VM.
Network Map
The networks that this Vm or Snaphot is connected to

## Notes For this release this cmdlet only provides configuration data for VM objects in the provider. Using a path to an item that is not a VM will result in a error.
In the case of failure the following errors can be produced.
Error Codes
-----------
InputHypervisorItemPathInvalid
The path provided is not to an item in a sub directory of a connection item or a hosting unit item.
InvalidHypervisorItemPath
No item exists with the specified path.
InvalidHypervisorItem
The item specified by the path exists, but is not a VM Item.
DatabaseError
An error occurred in the service whilst attempting a database operation.
DatabaseNotConfigured
The operation could not be completed as the database for the service is not configured.
DataStoreException
An error occurred in the service whilst attempting a database operation - communication to database failed for

Description
-----------
This command gets the configuration properties for a VM called 'MyVm.vm' within a hypervisor connection called 'MyConnection'.

EXAMPLE 2

XDHyp:\HostingUnits\PS>Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem -LiteralPath .\MyVm.vm

                              CpuCount                                MemoryMB                          HardDiskSizeGB

Description
-----------
This command gets the configuration properties for a VM called 'MyVm.vm' within the current directory. The dot (.) represents the current location (not its contents).

EXAMPLE 3

C:\PS>(Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem -LiteralPath XDHyp:\Connections\MyConnection\MyVm.vm).CPUCount

Description
-----------
This command gets the CPU count for a VM called 'MyVm.vm'. The CPUCount is just one property of the VM items. To see all properties of an item, type "(Get-HypConfigurationDataForItem ) | Get-Member".
