Important Update - July 2nd 2024 The VMware Lifecycle Matrix website has been transitioned to the Broadcom Support Portal which has broken support for this module. I don't actively work on this module, so won't be investing the time to figuring out how to make it work again, however, I will leave this repo up and available for people to look at, and if anyone wants to figure out how to make this work again and submit a pull request, I will be happy to merge it.
A Powershell module to interact with the VMware Product Lifecycle Matrix website (https://lifecycle.vmware.com)
This module is not supported by VMware, and comes with no warranties express or implied. Please test and validate its functionality before using this product in a production environment.
VMware.LifecycleMatrix is available from the PowerShell Gallery. Run the following command in a PowerShell session to install the module:
Install-Module VMware.LifecycleMatrixIf for some reason, your system is unable to access PowerShell Gallery to install modules, you can install the module manually:
Open a PowerShell session and run the following command to find all the module installation paths on your system.
$env:PSModulePathNavigate to one of the paths returned from the command above, and create a new directory for the module
New-Item VMware.LifecycleMatrix -ItemType DirectoryDownload the .psd1 and .psm1 files from https://github.com/dcoghlan/VMware.LifecycleMatrix/tree/main/module and save them to the directory created above.
Once the VMware.LifecycleMatrix module is loaded onto your system, run the following command to import the module for use:
Import-Module VMware.LifecycleMatrixThere are only a couple of cmdlets in this module. To view them all, run the following command:
Get-Command -Module VMware.LifecycleMatrixEach available cmdlet will return details and examples via the built-in Get-Help cmdlet.
