Workflow to enable "Block All Ports" on a Port Group

[brandong08]

I am trying to create a workflow to Block All Ports on a Port Group.  I think I have everything setup correctly but not sure what to put under the Scripting Tag.

This is what I have after editing an existing. 

// ------- ReconfigureDVPortgroup_Task -------
// General Settings:
var spec = new VcDVPortgroupConfigSpec();
spec.configVersion = dvPortgroup.config.configVersion; // retrieves configVersion to use during update
spec.name = dvPortgroupName;
// Policies - Misc:
defaultPortConfig.blocked = new VcBoolPolicy();
defaultPortConfig.blocked.inherited = false;
defaultPortConfig.blocked.value = blockAllPorts; // Shuts down all ports in the portgroup if set to true
task = dvPortgroup.reconfigureDVPortgroup_Task(spec);

There is already out-of-the-box workflow that does so (plus other things) - Update distributed virtual port group (available under Library > vCenter > Networking > Distributed Virtual Port Group).

the corresponding setting is on workflow tab/group labelled Miscellaneous

That is the one I am working from.  Trying to consolidate it so there is only one option.

The following should work:

// General Settings:  
var spec = new VcDVPortgroupConfigSpec();  
spec.configVersion = dvPortgroup.config.configVersion; // retrieves configVersion to use during update  
spec.name = dvPortgroupName;  
// Policies - Misc:  
spec.defaultPortConfig = new VcVMwareDVSPortSetting();
spec.defaultPortConfig.blocked = new VcBoolPolicy();  
spec.defaultPortConfig.blocked.inherited = false;  
spec.defaultPortConfig.blocked.value = blockAllPorts; // Shuts down all ports in the portgroup if set to true  
task = dvPortgroup.reconfigureDVPortgroup_Task(spec);

Still getting "Reference Error dvPortgroupName is not defined"

Thanks

Well, you can either pass dvPortgroupName  as a workflow input parameter, or you can comment out this line    spec.name = dvPortgroupName;

That worked.  Thanks for the help.
