Get-SCCustomResource

Gets a custom resource from the VMM library.

Description

The Get-SCCustomResource cmdlet gets a custom resource from the System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) library. A custom resource is a folder-based library object in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). The resource is declared at the folder level, and the contents of the folder is unknown to VMM. 

To add a custom resource to the library, create a folder with a .CR extension, place content in the folder, and then use the VMM console to drag the folder to a VMM library share. VMM discovers and imports the folder into the library as a custom resource.

Parameters

All

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Retrieves a full list of all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All retrieves all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.

VMMServer

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a VMM server object.

FamilyName

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies a family name for a physical resource in the VMM library. This value is used in conjunction with Release, Namespace, and Type to establish equivalency among library resources.

Release

Position? named 
Specifies a string that describes the release of a library resource. VMM automatically creates a release value for every resource imported into the library. After the resource has been imported, the string can be customized.

Examples

1: Get a specific custom resource. 
PS C:\> $CR = Get-SCCustomResource -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where { $_.Name -eq “Folder.CR” -and $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq "LibraryServer01.Contoso.com” }



This command gets the custom resource object named Folder.CR on LibraryServer01 from the VMM library on VMMServer01 and then stores the object in the $CR variable.
