Powershell module for HPE Greenlake for Compute Ops Management (COM)

This module is for interacting with the HPE Greenlake for Compute Ops Managment RESTful API. This is not a standard Powershell module that exports cmdlets. This module makes use of classes and their methods to interact with the API.

Getting Started

The first thing you must do is find your Client ID and Client Secret for logging into the COM application.

Go to the HPE Greenlake Developer Portal services page for full instructions on generating API credentials.

You will not need to generate a token just obtain your Client ID and Client Secret.

Limitations

As stated in the summary, this is not a traditional module containing functions or cmdlets that are exported to the user. One of the drawbacks to this approach is that there is no inline help for methods of a class as there is for a cmdlet in a normal Powershell module. In short, Get-Help class.method does not work.

To see properties and methods for the classes.

1. Import the module path/to/hpecom.psd1
2. Create a new COM API Client
3. Pipe the COM API Client or child API clients to the Get-Member cmdlet

Import-Module c:\modules\hpecom.psd1
# Create a new API client connection and store the authentication token
$comClient = New-ComClient "<myClientID>" "<myClientSecret>"
$comClient | Get-Member

One last thing for now

This is a work in progress. Presently, mainly the GET functionality is implemented.
