Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations

Step 1: Retrieve a object by running a Get command

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

# Retrieves a list of the available key provider service information configured in the workload vCenter Server system.

Get-KeyProviderServiceInfo

Step 2 : Run commands from the CRUD group

You can UPDATE objects by using Add-KeyProviderServiceInfo cmdlet. See example below:

# Adds the key provider service information to the workload vCenter Server system by specifying the TrustAuthorityKeyProviderService objects that you want to retrieve from the Trust Authority system.

$kmxService = Get-TrustAuthorityKeyProviderService -Server trustAuthoritySystem Add-KeyProviderServiceInfo -KeyProviderService $kmxService -Server workloadSystem

You can REMOVE objects by using Remove-KeyProviderServiceInfo cmdlet. See example below:

# Removes the key provider services information configured in the connected workload vCenter Server system.

$kmxd = Get-KeyProviderServiceInfo Remove-KeyProviderServiceInfo -KeyProviderServiceInfo $kmxd
