Powercli script to list "Status Details" for incompatible vibs during upgrade

[James_DGAP]

Hi,

I'm plagiarized a script that will remove incompatible vibs but I'm struggling with getting the list of incompatible vibs in the "Status Details" after a baseline scan.  For example, Mellanox_bootbank_net-mst_2.0.0.0-1OEM.550.0.0.472560 found under "Status Details".

Currently I have to manually select that with my script.  If I could get this information with a script automagically the script would be a bit more seamless.  Any help would be appreciated.

I'm afraid that functionality is missing.

See also VUM cmdlets - get name of "conflicting VIBs" on ESXi hosts?

Which script are you using?

Thanks for the reply.  Here is what I have so far which works well but I'm sure it could be written better.  Might help someone out though.
