Welcome to PowervRA

PowervRA is a PowerShell module built on top of the services exposed by the vRealize Automation 7 REST API.

Note: this module is not in any way developed or supported by anyone officially affiliated with VMware

Compatibility

** Support for 6.2.4 is limited given API restrictions. Functions which don't support 6.2.4 will exit early and cleanly.

** To get up and running with PowerShell Core follow the instructions for your operating system here.

PowerShell v5 & v6 users: You grab the latest version of the module from the PowerShell Gallery by running the following command:

Install-Module -Name PowervRA

PowerShell v4 users: Try this handy one liner to download and install the module:

(new-object Net.WebClient).DownloadString("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jakkulabs/PowervRA/master/Get-PowervRA.ps1") | iex

As of version 2.0.0 we now have our own docker image.

Getting started is easy, just run the following commands:

docker pull jakkulabs/powervra
docker run --rm -it jakkulabs/powervra

For more information see this readme.

Once you have installed and imported PowervRA, use Connect-vRAServer to connect to your vRA instance:

Connect-vRAServer -Server vra.corp.local -Tenant tenant01 -Credential (Get-Credential)

If your instance has a self signed certificate you must use the IgnoreCertRequirements switch:

Connect-vRAServer -Server vra.corp.local -Tenant tenant01 -Credential (Get-Credential) -IgnoreCertRequirements

Documentation for each command can be viewed with Get-Help, e.g.:

Get-Help Get-vRAEntitlement
