Create and Configure StorageDRS Cluster Completely in Code

[UberGeek1]

So I'm racking my brain on this one.  I'm trying to create the StorageDRS cluster and perform all of the config via code, and because not everything is in CmdLets yet, I still have to use ConfigSpecs and StorageResourceManager.  So what I'm fighting is I keep running into this error everytime I try to perform the ConfigureStorageDrsForPod action:

Exception calling "ConfigureStorageDrsForPod" with "3" argument(s): "The object has already been deleted or has not been completely created"

I will put the code at the bottom, but I can confirm that the Datastore Cluster does in fact exist and that this code does something because I can see the reconfigure event in vCenter, but sure trying to figure out where the failure is here.

For reference, $dCenter is set to a valid Datacenter object in my vCenter.

$dscName = "$($dCenter.Name)_DSC1"
$dsc = New-DatastoreCluster -Name $dscName -Location $dCenter
$dsc = $dsc | Set-DatastoreCluster -SdrsAutomationLevel FullyAutomated

$SRMan = Get-View StorageResourceManager

$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.StorageDrsConfigSpec
$spec.PodConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.StorageDrsPodConfigSpec
$lbSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.StorageDrsSpaceLoadBalanceConfig
$ioSpec = new-object VMware.Vim.StorageDrsIoLoadBalanceConfig

$spec.PodConfigSpec.DefaultIntraVmAffinity = $true
$spec.PodConfigSpec.LoadBalanceInterval = 480
$spec.PodConfigSpec.Enabled = $true
       
$lbSpec.MinSpaceUtilizationDifference = 10
$lbSpec.SpaceUtilizationThreshold = 89

$spec.PodConfigSpec.SpaceLoadBalanceConfig = $lbSpec

$ioSpec.IoLatencyThreshold = 10
$ioSpec.IoLoadImbalanceThreshold = 10
$ioSpec.ReservablePercentThreshold = 60
$ioSpec.ReservableThresholdMode = "automated"

$spec.PodConfigSpec.IoLoadBalanceConfig = $ioSpec
$spec.PodConfigSpec.IoLoadBalanceEnabled = $true

$SRMan.ConfigureStorageDrsForPod($dsc.ExtensionData.MoRef, $spec, $true)

Most probably you are connected to more than 1 vCenter.

Check the content of $global:defaultviservers.

To avoid the error while having multiple connections open, use the Server parameter.

Like this for example

$vcName = ([System.Uri]$dCenter.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl).Host

$dscName = "$($dCenter.Name)_DSC1"

$dsc = New-DatastoreCluster -Name $dscName -Location $dCenter

$dsc = $dsc | Set-DatastoreCluster -SdrsAutomationLevel FullyAutomated

$SRMan = Get-View StorageResourceManager -Server $vcName

$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.StorageDrsConfigSpec

$spec.PodConfigSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.StorageDrsPodConfigSpec

$lbSpec = New-Object VMware.Vim.StorageDrsSpaceLoadBalanceConfig

$ioSpec = new-object VMware.Vim.StorageDrsIoLoadBalanceConfig

$spec.PodConfigSpec.DefaultIntraVmAffinity = $true

$spec.PodConfigSpec.LoadBalanceInterval = 480

$spec.PodConfigSpec.Enabled = $true

$lbSpec.MinSpaceUtilizationDifference = 10

$lbSpec.SpaceUtilizationThreshold = 89

$spec.PodConfigSpec.SpaceLoadBalanceConfig = $lbSpec

$ioSpec.IoLatencyThreshold = 10

$ioSpec.IoLoadImbalanceThreshold = 10

$ioSpec.ReservablePercentThreshold = 60

$ioSpec.ReservableThresholdMode = "automated"

$spec.PodConfigSpec.IoLoadBalanceConfig = $ioSpec

$spec.PodConfigSpec.IoLoadBalanceEnabled = $true

$SRMan.ConfigureStorageDrsForPod($dsc.ExtensionData.MoRef, $spec, $true)
