• Together-NetworkAdapter - object reference not set to an instance of an object.

  Guy.

  I moved a bunch of virtual machines to a group that had a vSwitch Standard to a cluster that has a distributed vSwitch. Now I'm banging my head against the wall with this one. I thought that the code below would work but I get a message

  All-NIC

  Object reference is not set to an instance of an object.

  What I'm doing wrong here?

  --------------

  SE connect-VIServer SERVER1

  $OldNetwork = 'EU VDI ILIO network storage'

  $NewNetwork = 'EU UCS VDI Port Group (VDI Desktops - VLAN148).

  Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Where {$_.NetworkName - eq $OldNetwork} | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $NewNetwork - confirm: $false

  Strange... it works for me, but I used double quotes and I have no spaces in the names of dVportgroup:

  $myNetworkAdapters = Get-VM wintest1 | Get-NetworkAdapter -Name "Network adapter 1"
  myVDPortGroup = Get-VDPortgroup -Name "v4094--BLACK_HOLE"
  Set-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $myNetworkAdapters -Portgroup $myVDPortGroup
  

  Try with oneliner (sorta, that you always need myVDportGroup variable):

  $myVDPortGroup = Get-VDPortgroup -Name "EU VDI Workstations PortGroup"
  Get-VM Test| Get-NetworkAdapter -Name "Network adapter 1" |Set-NetworkAdapter -Portgroup $myVDPortGroup
  

  If repeated failure, please provide an output of command "get-member" against your variables (gm is an alias):

  $myNetworkAdapters|gm
  $myVDPortGroup|gm
  

• Memory of WHOLE-VM has the limit of 64G. How to solve it?

  Set-VM MemoryMB has 64G hat.

  Is there anyway that I can put the memory of the virtual machine more than 64G via PowerCLI?

  It's on vSphere PowerCLI 5 and 5

  Yes, it's a question that we know and will be fixed in a future version, meanwhile, you can use this function to set the memory:

  Function Change-Memory {
        Param (
              $VM,
              $MemoryMB
        )
        Process {
              $VMs = Get-VM $VM
              Foreach ($Machine in $VMs) {
                    $VMId = $Machine.Id
  
                    $VMSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
                    $VMSpec.memoryMB = $MemoryMB
                    $RawVM = Get-View -Id $VMId
                    $RawVM.ReconfigVM_Task($VMSpec)
              }
        }
  }
