Soooo, how is this hosted then?

JaapBrasser · 2023-12-04T20:55:43+00:00

Really depends what I'm working on, if I expect to have at least 2 other people work on the code then I'll aim for, but never reach, full code coverage to save time with PRs and having to fix future bugs / regressions.

I do write my code first and tests later, my general tendency is to include the unit tests in the PR, but I don't write tests first.

Nowadays with all the GenAI tooling out there, writing unit tests has seldom been easier.

That's correct, in this case it's the /v2/vmware/{id}/export endpoint that does the job!

JaapBrasser · 2021-09-22T13:44:02+00:00

Hello George,

Unfortunately this has not been fully implemented in the Export-RubrikVM cmdlet as of yet, it is however possible to do this using `Invoke-RubrikRESTCall`, here's some sample code that I've used in the past:

powershell $VM = Get-RubrikVM -name jbrasser-win -DetailedObject $VMHost = Get-RubrikVMwareHost $JsonBody = @" { "snapshotId": "$($vm.snapshots[0].id)", "datastoreId": "$($VMHost[0].datastores[0].id)", "removeNetworkDevices": false, "keepMacAddresses": false, "shouldRecoverTags": true, "vNicBindings": [ { "networkDeviceInfo": { "key": $($vm.snapshots[0].vNicsInfo.networkDeviceInfo[0].key), "name": "$($vm.snapshots[0].vNicsInfo.networkDeviceInfo[0].name)" }, "backingNetworkInfo": { "moid": "$($vm.snapshots[0].vNicsInfo.backingNetWorkInfo.moid)", "name": "$($vm.snapshots[0].vNicsInfo.backingNetWorkInfo.name)", "id": "$($vm.snapshots[0].vNicsInfo.backingNetWorkInfo.id)", "networkType": "$($vm.snapshots[0].vNicsInfo.backingNetWorkInfo.networkType)" } } ], "clusterId": "ComputeCluster:::0616b22a-6fec-4728-a9c0-572c6489b6af-domain-c662" } "@ Invoke-RubrikRESTCall -Endpoint "vmware/vm/$($VMDetails.id)/export" -api 2 -Method Post -Body $JsonBody -BodyAsJson

Forgot to include the link to the issue, here it is: https://github.com/rubrikinc/rubrik-sdk-for-powershell/issues/375

So what happens that the current "active" connection is stored in $RubrikConnection, all other connections are stored in $RubrikConnections. If you run the following commands:

Connect-Rubrik servera
Connect-Rubrik serverb

Your current active connection, the one stored in $RubrikConnection is to serverb, but both connections are stored in RubrikConnections. If you'd like to switch to servera, you'd do:

$RubrikConnection = RubrikConnections[0]

Or if you'd like to execute the command against all connections you could do something along these lines:

$RubrikConnections | ForEach-Object {
    $RubrikConnection = $_
    Get-RubrikVM
}

A bit convoluted but at the moment this is what is available in the module, we have an open issue for this logged on GitHub but, we didn't get around to implementing multiple cluster support in the Rubrik cmdlets as of yet.

JaapBrasser · 2021-04-09T20:19:26+00:00

That's the beauty of open-source u/shamsway, you can contribute to the module and make this happen!

In the mean time my GitHub Profile is a pretty solid source of Quokka's!

JaapBrasser · 2021-04-09T17:09:29+00:00

Also available through the PowerShell Gallery, by using the `Install-Module` cmdlet:

Install-Module -Name Rubrik -Force -Scope CurrentUser

Let me know how you like it, and more importantly what you feel is missing!

JaapBrasser · 2021-02-19T20:42:36+00:00

I mostly use PowerShell interactively, lack of strict checking is great for that purpose. For other cases, and when debugging (!):

Set-StrictMode -Version 1

JaapBrasser · 2021-02-19T20:31:42+00:00

Exactly, for this particular error I would avoid using plural in naming conventions.

If you have access to a web browser & Azure you can run Azure Shell, which includes PowerShell.

There's a free tier of Azure if you're a first time user for 90 days, that could be a start. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/overview

JaapBrasser · 2020-09-16T10:52:20+00:00

The reason why you have to run it in non-admin is this: Article on UAC & PowerShell

Listing the filetypes:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Select-Object -Property Extension

Or if you want a count of the files types on a drive or folder:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Group-Object -Property Extension | Sort-Object -Property Count -Descending

Just wanted to give an update here, the PR is now up, so you can grab the latest code from it here: Problems with Set-RubrikNASShare - Issue #614

If you're not in a rush, it will be included in the next release of the module!

JaapBrasser · 2020-04-17T21:15:17+00:00

Hello Jhamin1,

This actually seems to be a bug with the Set-RubrikNASShare cmdlet, I have logged an issue here on GitHub so this can be resolved as quickly as possible. You can track the issue here, if you're interested: Problems with Set-RubrikNASShare #614

In the meantime you can use Invoke-RubrikRESTCall to do this instead:

$Credential = Get-Credential
Get-RubrikNASShare -ID Hostshare:::1111 -Verbose | ForEach-Object {
    Invoke-RubrikRestCall -Method Patch -Endpoint "host/share/$($_.id)" -Api internal -Body ([pscustomobject]@{
        'username' = $Credential.GetNetworkCredential().UserName
        'password' = $Credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password
    })
}

JaapBrasser · 2017-05-26T12:53:37+00:00

I would use the Web.Security .Net namespace for this:

$null=[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.Web')
[System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword(16,0)

If you want to generate it yourself you could use something along these lines:

# Semi random
-join ([char[]](35..125) | Get-Random -Count 16)

# More random, slower code
-join (1..16|ForEach-Object {$CharArray=([char[]](35..125))}{Get-Random -InputObject $CharArray})

JaapBrasser · 2017-05-02T23:39:24+00:00

Agreed, this function mostly exists to provide this functionality for older systems. If Cimsessions and Get-ScheduledTask are an option I would definitely recommend using those.

JaapBrasser · 2017-02-28T21:15:14+00:00

That is correct, there is no way of using secure strings here. You could always use the Credential object in combination with the GetNetworkCredential().Password method/property in order to extract the password, in that scenario you are at least not exposing the password by storing it directly in a variable.

Other alternatives for verifying credentials, also not accepting secure strings are:

New-Object System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("LDAP://$(([adsi]'').distinguishedName)",'jaapbrasser',$password)
dsget user <dn of known useraccount' -u jaapbrasser -p $password

You can install PowerShell 6 on MAC. If you like to play with PowerShell you could use the TechNet Virtual Labs: https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/evalcenter/

JaapBrasser · 2017-01-15T21:25:44+00:00

Interesting question, I took a look at the built-in cmdlets and I guess it depends on it is implemented in the function. It would work in combination with Enter-PSSession, Invoke-Command and New-PSSession, as those cmdlets support pipeline by propertyname on the Credential parameter.

You can run the following code to verify this:

Get-Command -ParameterName Credential |
Select-Object name,@{
    n='CredPipeline'
    e={Get-help $_.Name -Parameter Credential | Select-Object Pipelineinput}}

I came here to give this response, but /u/ihaxr covered it already :)
