vmware.powercli + PureStoragePowershellSDK2 loaded together make PS process crashed

[yala40]

Hi All,

I'm in a very strange behavior since last update of PureStoragePowershellSDK2 in version 2.33.187, when i load, in the same script PureStoragePowershellSDK2 + vmware.powercli and while doing a simple "Connect-VIServer -Server $VIServers -Credential $credentials" the PS process crash.

All works well with previous version of purestoragepowershellSDK2 ==>2.26.70

I've try it with PS 5.1 and PS7 : same behavior.

My server is Win 2019 with last KB applied.

the Vmware.Powercli module was tested with many versions :

• 13.3.0.24145081
• 13.1.0.21624340
• 12.7.0.20091289

thanks in advance for your help.

Yala

What happens if you load them manually outside of the script? Does it kill the process as well? Please turn on -verbose when executing manually and post the output here.

Hello Mike,

in fact it is not at the loading of the module that crash happen, but the first cmdlet used of "powercli" module, like for example : Connect-VIServer -Server $VIServers -Credential $credentials

if i load them manually and execute the cmd Connect-VIServer -Server $VIServers -Credential $credentials it has the same behavior.

if i load only the powercli module it works well. Crash happen only when I load both modules (PureSDK2 + powercli) in a PS windows and following the first powercli cmdlet execution.

the verbose mode is unfortunatlly not very usefull here because PS Window is crashing before prompting anything. that is the way it can be reproduced :

import-module purestoragepowershellSDK2
$credentials = Get-Credential
$VIServers = @("vserverfqdn")
$connectedViServer = Connect-VIServer -Server $VIServers -Credential $credentials -Verbose

events like this can be seen in the "application" eventlog on the windows server when PS crashing :
