get-nicteaming of distributed port group.

[Akopylov]

Hello.

I`m trying to get nic teaming policy of dv port groups, but got issues with pipes (vsphere 5.5, dvswitch 5.5, powercli 5.5.0.6632 😞

PS C:\Windows\system32> $dv=Get-VirtualSwitch -Distributed

PS C:\Windows\system32> $dv

Name                           NumPorts   Mtu   Notes

dvSwitch                       1170       1500

PS C:\Windows\system32> $pgs=Get-VirtualPortGroup -VirtualSwitch $dv

PS C:\Windows\system32> $pgs

Then if I try this:

PS C:\Windows\system32> $pgs | foreach {Get-NicTeamingPolicy -VirtualSwitch $dv -VirtualPortGroup $_}

I got an error about conversion of "VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Host.Networking.DistributedSwitchImpl" into "VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Host.Networking.VirtualSwitch".

And if I try this:

PS C:\Windows\system32> $pgs | foreach {Get-NicTeamingPolicy -VirtualSwitch $dv.name -VirtualPortGroup $_}

I got another error about vportgroup types conversion "VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Host.Networking.DistributedPortGroupImpl" into "VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Host.Networking.VirtualPortGroup". No luck with "... -VirtualPortGroup $_.name" too, it says that I cant specify string type as input for -VirtualPortGroup.

It seems like "get-nicteamingpolicy" comandlet cant take dv types as input, but I`m not sure though.

Try using Get-VDSwitch instead of Get-VirtualSwitch -Distributed.

Seems I forgot you have to use Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy for VDS switches

[Akopylov]

Thanks, get-vduplinkteamingpolicy helps.

It seems like some of the replies in this thread are missing (some of mine too), is it possible that they were deleted by moderator? Cause I got no mail notifications about that.

[LucD]

At one point you replied in another thread (Re: Missing get-VDswitch in powercli 5.5??)

Would those be the missing replies ?

[Akopylov]

Oh, I guess I need to sleep more o_O, sorry. Don`t know how did I reply in that thread.
