Getting Started with Omnissa Horizon cmdlets¶
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.
Omnissa.VimAutomation.HorizonView module provides two commandlets:
Connect-HVServer
This cmdlet establishes a connection to the Horizon API service that runs on an instance of the Horizon Connection server.Disconnect-HVServer
This cmdlet closes the connection to one or more Horizon API services that run on one or more instances of Horizon Connection servers.
Omnissa.Horizon.Helper Powershell Module module provides many additional commandlets which are linked in the menu to the left.
