Just tried it using the name fo the DRS cluster and it failed, do I have to specify something different for it to work?

Here is error:

New-VM : 2/23/2012 2:15:56 PM    New-VM        Value cannot be found for the ma
ndatory parameter VMHost
At line:1 char:7

It looks like it is looking for VMhost, but i am trying to ahve it auto select based on the cluster

zsoldier,

  I have verified that everythign is good, but it appears to required the -vmhost parameter based on the error.  I am wondering if that is supported only in a newer version of powercli??

see error below:

[vSphere PowerCLI] U:\powercli\deployvm> New-VM -name test -ResourcePool (get-cl
uster MS_DELL_ESXi_TEST_DEV | Get-ResourcePool)
New-VM : 2/24/2012 8:12:36 AM    New-VM       Value cannot be found for the ma

Let me upgrade, i thought 4.1 U1 vcenter wasn't supported, but it looks like it is.

Powercli 4.1 U1
