RHEV: Is it possible to retrieve the status of a task created with -Async using the task ID in Powershell API?
Issue
-
With poweshell API, asynchronous calls are used for some tasks that take a lot of time (e.g. creating a preallocated disk).
-
A call with -Async returns immediately, and the user of the API must poll back periodically to see what the status of the command is. Polling the status of a task is done with Get-TasksStatus cmdlet. Get-TasksStatus only accepts a RhevmCMd.CLITask object (-CommandTaskIdList). This works fine in the session where the -Async call was executed, because there we get the CLITask object via Get-LastCommandTasks. There appears to be no solution however for checking the status from another session.
-
Is it possible to use -TaskID switch to to Get-TaskStatus command to overcome this limitation?
