You can scan a
virtual machine against the baselines attached to it or inherited by its parent
object.
Prerequisites
Verify that you are connected
to a
vCenter
Server
system.
Procedure
-
Initialize scanning on a
virtual machine that is named
VM
against baselines containing virtual machine hardware upgrades and VMware Tools
upgrades.
$task = Test-Compliance -Entity VM -UpdateType VmHardwareUpgrade, VmToolsUpgrade -RunAsync
The command initializes a
task on the server, returns a snapshot object of the initial state of the task,
and saves it in the
$task variable.
-
View the initial status
of the scanning task.
$task
Note: The task object is
not updated with the actual state of the task process running on the server.
Even after the task is completed, the
$task variable value is
running. To view the actual status of the tasks running on the server, use the
Get-Task cmdlet.
- (Optional)
Run the
Wait-Task cmdlet to
monitor the process progress and wait for the task to complete before running
other commands.
