​
Syntax

# List all baselines or filter by ISO file name
Get-OVBaseline
    [-File <Object>]
    [-Scope <Object>]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

# Filter by SPP name and optional version
Get-OVBaseline
    -SppName <String>
    [-Version <String>]
    [-Scope <Object>]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

# Return only hotfix entries
Get-OVBaseline
    [-HotfixesOnly]
    [-Scope <Object>]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [<CommonParameters>]

​
Description

Get-OVBaseline queries the appliance firmware repository and returns one or more HPEOneView.Appliance.Baseline objects representing uploaded Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) ISO files or individual hotfix packages. You can filter results by the ISO file name, the SPP display name, the baseline version string, or by returning only hotfix entries. The returned objects can be piped directly to Update-OVServerFirmware, Show-OVFirmwareReport, or Remove-OVBaseline. When multiple appliances are connected, results from all appliances are returned unless you specify -ApplianceConnection.

​
Parameters

​
File
Object
The ISO file name (or System.IO.FileInfo object) of the baseline to find. Accepts wildcards. This parameter is used when you know the exact uploaded file name on the appliance.Aliases: isoFileName, FileName
​
SppName
String
required
The display name of the SPP baseline. Accepts wildcards (e.g., "HPE Service Pack*"). Required when using the BaselineName parameter set.Aliases: name
​
Version
String
The version string of the SPP baseline (e.g., "2023.11.01"). Use with -SppName to narrow results to a specific release.
​
HotfixesOnly
SwitchParameter
When specified, returns only individual hotfix packages rather than full SPP ISOs.
​
Scope
Object
Limit results to baselines within the specified scope(s). Accepts scope objects returned by Get-OVScope. Defaults to AllResourcesInScope, which returns all baselines visible to the current user’s active permissions.
​
ApplianceConnection
Object
Specify one or more appliance connection objects or hostnames. Defaults to all connected appliances ($Global:ConnectedSessions).Aliases: Appliance

​
Examples

List all firmware baselines

Get-OVBaseline
Returns all SPP baselines stored in the appliance firmware repository.

​
Find a baseline by SPP name

Get-OVBaseline -SppName "HPE Service Pack for ProLiant"
Returns all versions of the named SPP baseline.

​
Find a specific SPP version

Get-OVBaseline -SppName "HPE Service Pack for ProLiant" -Version "2023.11.01"
Returns the baseline matching both the name and version string.

​
Find a baseline by uploaded file name

Looks up the baseline by its ISO file name as stored on the appliance.

​
List all hotfix packages

Get-OVBaseline -HotfixesOnly
Returns only individual hotfix entries (.exe, .scexe, .rpm, .zip, .fwpkg), not full SPP bundles.

​
Use result in a firmware compliance report

$baseline = Get-OVBaseline -SppName "HPE Service Pack for ProLiant" -Version "2023.11.01"
Get-OVServer | Show-OVFirmwareReport -Baseline $baseline
Retrieves a specific baseline and uses it to generate a firmware compliance report for all managed servers.

​
