Synopsis

Deletes a firmware baseline (SPP or hotfix) from the appliance firmware repository.

​
Syntax

Remove-OVBaseline
    -InputObject <Object>
    [-Force]
    [-ApplianceConnection <Object>]
    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

​
Description

Remove-OVBaseline permanently removes one or more firmware baseline resources from the appliance firmware repository. Baselines can be passed directly via the -InputObject parameter or piped from Get-OVBaseline. The cmdlet uses PowerShell’s SupportsShouldProcess mechanism with ConfirmImpact = High, so a confirmation prompt is displayed by default. Use -Confirm:$false to suppress the prompt in automated scripts, or -WhatIf to preview the operation without making any changes.
Removing a baseline that is referenced by one or more server profiles or server profile templates will cause those profiles to lose their firmware baseline association. Profiles will no longer be compliant and cannot perform firmware operations until a new baseline is assigned. Verify that a baseline is not in use before removing it.

​
Parameters

​
InputObject
Object
required
The baseline object to remove. Accepts an HPEOneView.Appliance.Baseline object from Get-OVBaseline or pipeline input. The object must include a valid ApplianceConnection property.Aliases: b, Baseline
​
Force
SwitchParameter
Appends ?force=true to the DELETE request URI, bypassing safety checks that would otherwise prevent removal of a baseline that is referenced by active resources. Use with caution.
​
ApplianceConnection
Object
Specify one or more appliance connection objects or hostnames. Defaults to all connected appliances ($Global:ConnectedSessions).Aliases: Appliance
​
WhatIf
SwitchParameter
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs without actually removing the baseline.
​
Confirm
SwitchParameter
Prompts for confirmation before removing the baseline. Pass -Confirm:$false to suppress the prompt.

​
Examples

​
Remove a baseline by name

Get-OVBaseline -SppName "HPE Service Pack for ProLiant" -Version "2022.03.01" | Remove-OVBaseline
Retrieves a specific SPP version and removes it from the repository. A confirmation prompt is displayed before the deletion proceeds.

​
Remove without confirmation

Get-OVBaseline -SppName "HPE Service Pack for ProLiant" -Version "2022.03.01" | Remove-OVBaseline -Confirm:$false
Removes the baseline without prompting. Suitable for automated scripts.

​
Preview removal with WhatIf

Get-OVBaseline | Remove-OVBaseline -WhatIf
Shows which baselines would be removed without making any changes.

​
Remove all baselines older than a given version

$allBaselines = Get-OVBaseline
$old = $allBaselines | Where-Object { [datetime]$_.releaseDate -lt [datetime]"2023-01-01" }
$old | Remove-OVBaseline -Confirm:$false
Removes all baselines with a release date before January 2023 without prompting.
