Getting Started with VMware NSX-T Data Center cmdlets

Provides cmdlets for managing NSX-T servers.

Step 1: Connect to Environment

To setup a connection you should use the Connect-NsxtServer command. Run the code sample below to connect.

# Connects to an NSX-T server by using the User and Password parameters.

Connect-NsxtServer -Server $serverAddress -User $user -Password $pass

You can also connect to remote environment by running one of the alternative options to connect below:

Option 1 :

# Connects to an NSX-T server by using the Credential parameter.

$credential = Get-Credential Connect-NsxtServer -Server $serverAddress -Credential $credential

Option 2 :

# Connects to an NSX-T server and stores the credentials in the credential store.

Connect-NsxtServer -Server $serverAddress -Credential -User $user -Password $pass -SaveCredentials

Option 3 :

# Connects to an NSX-T server when a record for the specified server and user is available in the credential store.

Connect-NsxtServer -Server $serverAddress -User $user

Step 2: Retrieve a object by running a Get command

You can READ objects by using Get-NsxtGlobalManagerService cmdlet. See example below:

# Retrieves the binding for the specified service and invokes a service operation.

$service = Get-NsxtGlobalManagerService com.vmware.nsx_global_policy.global_infra.domains.groups $service.list("domain_id")
