Re: Modify Database Retention Policy with PowerCLI

I see, in that case we will have to fall back on the underlying SDK method.

Try it like this (you need to be connected to the vCenter)

$si = Get-View ServiceInstance 
$optMgr = Get-View $si.Content.Setting

$spec = @()

$event1 = New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue 
$event1.key = "event.maxAge"  
$event1.value = 120 
$spec += $event1

$event2 = New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue
$event2.key = "event.maxAgeEnabled"  
$event2.value = $true
$spec += $event2

$task1 = New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue
$task1.key = "task.maxAge"  
$task1.value = 120
$spec += $task1

$task2 = New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue
$task2.key = "task.maxAgeEnabled"  
$task2.value = $true
$spec += $task2

$optMgr.UpdateOptions($spec)
