NetworkName variable to the title of the Cmdlet New - VM in PowerCLI

Write-Host "Clone VM creation:" $vm.vm_name
$networks = @($vm.vn0_pg,$vm.vn1_pg)
$tmpVM = new-VM - VMHost $vm.esx - VM $sv - name $vm.vm_name - Datastore $ds - location $vm.folder - NetworkName $networks

For the code above, I'm putting the NICs when cloning a virtual machine. There are 2 cards in this case. Here is the document published online:

http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/PowerCLI/PowerCLI41U1/HTML/new-VM.html

On this site:

NetworkNameString]Specify the networks to which you want to connect to the virtual machine.fakefake

which leads me to believe in PowerCLI, this is an array of strings, but it generates the error:

Set of parameters can be solved by using named parameters.

To: line: 78 char: 17

+ New-VM = $tmpVM < < < < VMHost - $vm.esx - VM $sv - name $vm.vm_name - Datastore $ds - location $vm.folder - NetworkName $networks

Thoughts? Thank you!

OK, maybe my explanantion was not too clear :-)

It's your line

New-VM - VMHost $vm.esx - VM $sv - name $vm.vm_name - Datastore $ds - location $vm.folder - NetworkName $networks

We will take the settings one by one and indicate they belong to what parameterset.

VMHost: all parametersets (Imagefieldconfig, model, CloneVm, RegisterVm)

VM: cloneVM

Name: all parametersets (Imagefieldconfig, model, CloneVm, RegisterVm)

Data store: CloneVM, model, Imagefieldconfig

Geographical area: all parametersets (Imagefieldconfig, model, CloneVm, RegisterVm)

NetworkName: Imagefieldconfig

You notice that the Virtual MACHINE and the NetworkName parameter do not have a common parameterset.

This means that you can not use them together.

Try to leave the VM parameter, the command will work as well.

If you want to clone a virtual machine, use the New - VM without the NetworkName parameter.

Once the new virtual machine is created, use the cmdlets Get - and Set-NetworkAdapter to set up networks for the network adapters.

  • The cmdlet New-Cluster of PowerCLI how to set VM followed?

    Hello.

    I am creation of Clusters using script and need to allow monitoring of the VM with a sensitivity of surveillance of the environment. The cmdlet does not offer this syntax.

    How can someone has any suggestions, this be achieved?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    You need to update cluster VmToolsMonitoringSettings. This can be done by using the cmdlet Get-View or the ExtensionData of the newly created Cluster object property.

    Here is the function that modifies HA followed VM Cluster parameters by means of:

    function Set-ClusterDasVmMonitoring ($cluster){
        $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterConfigSpecEx
        $spec.dasConfig = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDasConfigInfo
        $spec.dasConfig.vmMonitoring = "enabled"
        $spec.dasConfig.defaultVmSettings = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterDasVmSettings
        $spec.dasConfig.defaultVmSettings.vmToolsMonitoringSettings = New-Object VMware.Vim.ClusterVmToolsMonitoringSettings
        $spec.dasConfig.defaultVmSettings.vmToolsMonitoringSettings.enabled = $true
        $spec.dasConfig.defaultVmSettings.vmToolsMonitoringSettings.failureInterval = 60
        $spec.dasConfig.defaultVmSettings.vmToolsMonitoringSettings.minUpTime = 240
        $spec.dasConfig.defaultVmSettings.vmToolsMonitoringSettings.maxFailures = 3
        $spec.dasConfig.defaultVmSettings.vmToolsMonitoringSettings.maxFailureWindow = 86400
    
        $cluster.ExtensionData.ReconfigureComputeResource($spec, $true)
    }
    

    Now you can run the script against the cluster that you created:

    $newcluster = New-Cluster .....
    
    Set-ClusterDasVmMonitoring $newCluster

  • Adding network adapter using the cmdlet New-NetworkAdapter is a failure

    Hi all

    We strive to set up the new network card to a server using the cmdlet New-NIC, but the process fails with the error below. Please provide your input on how to resolve the problem.

    New network card - the specified DV portgroup 'ucs-bkup986' can not be used for the vnic connection since it's a GRPE of uplink ports

    Thanks and greetings

    The message seems to be saying that you try to use the uplink of the dvSwitch portgroup.

    Can you check with the Get-VDPortgroup cmdlet and check the IsUplink property in the returned object?

  • How can I report an error in the cmdlet new - vm, when try/catch catch him?


    I used PowerCLI 5.0.1 and tries to add a processing error on the create a new virtual machine.  My try/catch block doesn't seem to be jumping to catch code.

    try {}

    new-vm-name badvm - vmhost "10.10.1.1" datastore - bad

    ECHO "inside to try"

    }

    catch {}

    $msg = $_. Exception.Message

    ECHO "inside wrestling"

    echo $msg

    }

    When I run the present, I get the appropriate error «...» Cannot find StorageResource with the name of 'bad '... ' appears on the screen and the text ' to try '.  I expect to fall into the Catch code.

    The host is valid and connected; so, it seems that the new - vm cmdlet Gets the host - successfully - and then the host will return the error, but don't know the code to Catch.  Could the successful connection be confusing wrestling?

    I thought call get - vm with the name and check if it was created, but I would like to tell you the cause of the failure.

    You could add -ErrorAction stop to this cmdlet.

  • Bug in the VirtualSwitch new?

    In the GUI, by default when you create a new virtual switch, it is named automatically vSwitch and the next available number, 0, 1, 2, etc.  In PowerCLI when you use the cmdlet New-VirtualSwitch, must name it, well, it can be any name you want.

    I don't see a way to rename a virtual switch, so how can you use the cmdlet New-VirtualSwitch and named it with the name of the virtual switch available?

    PowerCLI 5.8

    PowerShell 4.0

    This isn't a bug in my humble opinion, but in any case, with the following code, you can calculate the next name of vSwitchxx

    $suffix = @)

    Get-VirtualSwitch-name "vSwitch * | %{

    $suffix += (select-String - InputObject $_.) Name - model '(? \d+)$' |) Select ExpandProperty - Matches). Groups "[number]. Value

    }

    $maxSuffix = $suffix | Measure-object-maximum | Select Maximum - ExpandProperty

    $nextName = 'vSwitch' + ('{0:D2}' f [int]($maxSuffix + 1))

  • Cmdlet New - vm - ID options flag

    Hi all

    I've scoured Google and VMware communities discussions to answer this question, and I came up dry.  Now, it may seem like I'm haircut, but I can't find an option - ID for 'Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)' there is an option for "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)" when you create a virtual machine in vSphere Client it is possible to get the first one as a guest operating system.  However, when you work in PowerCLI I seem to only get the latter as a guest operating system.  I'm not entirely sure what I'm missing.  How to set the guest operating system to my new virtual machine for 'Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)' the cmdlet new - vm?

  • Variables in the title page

    Hi all

    Can it be done in HR 2015? I've implemented my own title page using a word doc, but I want more than a logo and company name doc in the title page. I want to add numbers version using variables, and I want to be able to set a variable in the text, but also the product name changes slightly with different versions. Is this possible?

    Thank you

    Nick

    If you use a Word doc as your title page, then you can only use Word features. What you need to do here, is create a topic in the goal and that insert on the third page of the dialog configuration instead of a Word doc.

  • Question about the cmdlet Get-VIProperty (ideally oriented @ LucD)

    Hello everyone

    Sorry for the title of discussion, but once you read on you will understand where I come from.

    I am reorganizing ALL my scripts powercli, functions, advanced et al. to TRY to become more 'effective' (dare I say) in my script. So to start I thought useful the cmdlet "Get-VIProperty" has been and I wanted to use much more. Did some autour research and found a great download LucD had prepared on his blog of a variety of different VIProperties. Directed practice how they were immediately started to use what he blogged about his position.

    My question is this (and its powershell probably more than PowerCLI "maybe"): when I am trying to add in the VIProperties in my "profile (so they load into a starting window of console PS) I go in the following example:

    New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name _NumberOfVmotions-value {param ($cluster) $cluster. ExtensionData.Summary.NumVmotions} - Force

    It works when entered in a session of PS, however, when I load the following:

    New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster - value {$TotalPCPU = 0 $Args [0] |} Get-VMHost | foreach {$TotalPCPU += $_.} {NumCPU} $TotalPCPU}-Force

    However, when I load it as follows:

    New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster

    -Value {}

    $TotalPCPU = 0

    $Args [0] | Get-VMHost | {foreach}

    $TotalPCPU += $_. NumCPU

    }

    $TotalPCPU

    } - Force

    THIS WORKS.

    I know this may sound pedantic, but I would like to organize my viproperties like below, so they are a little more clear on the page. That is why the requirment to see if the above commands could be executed as 'one-liners ':

    # NumberOfHosts

    New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name ' _NumberOfHosts

    -The value {param ($cluster) @($cluster.) {Extensiondata.Host). County} - BasedOnExtensionProperty 'To host' - Force

    # NumberOfVMs

    New-VIProperty - ObjectType Cluster - name ' _NumberOfVMs

    -The value {param ($cluster)($cluster.)} Extensiondata.Host | % {Get-view $_} | Measure-object - InputObject {$_.} Vm.Count} - sum). Sum} '

    -BasedONextensionProperty 'host' - Force

    So if it's not possible it's fine - I just wanted to be able to confirm, it's all.

    As usual, thank you very much in advance for help

    Concerning

    Munster99

    If you want to add two other PowerShell/PowerCLI commands on a single line, you must use the semicolon to separate them:

    New-VIProperty-name _NumCPU - ObjectType Cluster - value {$TotalPCPU = 0; $Args [0] |} Get-VMHost | foreach {$TotalPCPU += $_.} NumCPU}; $TotalPCPU} - force

    Why do you need to change the form variables in session variables? They are already stored in session variables, or they come directly from the form?

    The $to part is not supported. When you pass $to to the mail() function, it should contain only an e-mail address, not a string that begins with "to:

    Hi patrick33,.

    The code that you have attached should not report an error, so it seems that something has gone wrong with your installation of MathScript. My best guess is that it is the problem that is described in this knowledge base article. Your signature says that you use f3 patch, which is a good start. But the KB lists some other steps to take when you see errors about MathScript, impossible to compile. Can you try the procedure described in the article and let us know if that fixes the problem?
