How to change catalog default storage policy?

[tobycoleridge]

I am trying to change the default storage policy on a organizations catalog


Organization -> Catalogs -> Org Catalog -> Properties -> Storage -> Pre-provision on on specific storage policy


I can't get the storage profile into the right type for the catalog:

$catalog = Get-Org -name test |get-catalog -name "test catalog"

$storProfile = Search-Cloud -QueryType ProviderVdcStorageProfile -Name "Standard 1" | Get-CIView

$cat.ExtensionData.CatalogStorageProfiles = $storProfile

returns:


Exception setting "CatalogStorageProfiles": "Cannot convert the "VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.VMWProviderVdcStorage Profile" value of type "VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.VMWProviderVdcStorageProfile" to type "VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.CatalogStorageProfiles"."


So I guess the question is how do I set $storProfile to a CatalogStorageProfiles object?

$catalog = Get-Org -name arntd |get-catalome "arntd catalog"

$storProfile = Search-Cloud -QueryType ProviderVdcStorageProfile -Name "Standard 1"  |Get-CIView 

$cat.ExtensionData.CatalogStorageProfiles = $storProfile

Exception setting "CatalogStorageProfiles": "Cannot convert the "VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.VMWProviderVdcStorage

Profile" value of type "VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.VMWProviderVdcStorageProfile" to type "VMware.VimAutomation.Cl

oud.Views.CatalogStorageProfiles"."

Same issue here. I can create a new catalog without issue using powercli but either creating the catalog on the correct profile correctly or trying to change it gives me the above errors.

Had the same issue and found this forum. After a lot of trials and errors I found a solution.

#Set thew new catalog profile

$orgvDCStoragePolicy = search-cloud -querytype AdminOrgVdcStorageProfile | where {($_.Name -match $StorageCatalogPolicyName) -and ($_.VdcName -eq $orgvDCName)} | Get-CIView

$orgvDCStoragePolicy.UpdateServerData()

#Create a private Catalog and share it to all Org members with Read/Write access

$privateCatalog = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.AdminCatalog

$privateCatalog.name = "$orgName Private Catalog"

(Get-Org $orgName | Get-CIView).CreateCatalog($privateCatalog)

New-CIAccessControlRule -Entity $privateCatalog.name -EveryoneInOrg -AccessLevel ReadWrite -Confirm:$False

#Update catalog storage policy

$catalog = Get-Org -name $OrgName | get-catalog -name $privateCatalog.name

$catalog.ExtensionData.CatalogStorageProfiles.VdcStorageProfile = $orgvDCStoragePolicy.href

$catalog.ExtensionData.UpdateServerData()

You have to use the ".href" to reference the object instead of the catalog name. I was hoping to set the catalog storage policy at the creation with this line:

$privateCatalog.ExtensionData.CatalogStorageProfiles.VdcStorageProfile = $orgvDCStoragePolicy.href

It won't take it, I get the following error:

The property 'VdcStorageProfile' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.

As a result you end up with "Version 2" of every newly created catalog.

Hope that helps.
