I'm attempting to write some code that moves both physical NICs and VMK NICs to a vDS that replicates the "Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter" cmdlet, but with specific uplinks chosen (LAG in use).
So far, this is what I have (with code borrowed from lucD):
$esxName = 'host01'
$vdsName = 'cluster01-mgmt'
$uplinkmapping = @(
("vmnic5","cluster01-mgmt-0"),
("vmnic7","cluster01-mgmt-1")
)
$esxiClusterName = "cluster01"
$vmkNics = @(
("vmk0","$esxiClusterName-esxmgmt-pri" ),
("vmk1","$esxiClusterName-iSCSI-1"),
("vmk2","$esxiClusterName-iSCSI-2"),
("vmk3","$esxiClusterName-vmotion-pri")
)
$esx = Get-VMHost -Name $esxName
$vds = Get-VDSwitch -Name $vdsName -VMHost $esx
$uplinks = Get-VDPort -VDSwitch $vds -Uplink | Where-Object {$_.ProxyHost -like $esxName}
$portgroups = Get-VDPortgroup -VDSwitch $vds
$netSys = Get-View -Id $esx.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem
$config = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostNetworkConfig
$proxy = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostProxySwitchConfig
$proxy.Uuid = $vds.ExtensionData.Uuid
$proxy.ChangeOperation = [VMware.Vim.HostConfigChangeOperation]::edit
$proxy.Spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostProxySwitchSpec
$proxy.Spec.Backing = New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchHostMemberPnicBacking
# Migrate Physical NICs.
foreach($uplink in $uplinkmapping){
$pnic = New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchHostMemberPnicSpec
$pnic.PnicDevice = $uplink[0]
$pnic.UplinkPortKey = $uplinks | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $uplink[1]} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Key
$proxy.Spec.Backing.PnicSpec += $pnic
}
$config.ProxySwitch += $proxy
# Migrate vmk NICs.
foreach($vmkNic in $vmkNics){
$vnic = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostVirtualNicConfig
$vnic.ChangeOperation = [VMware.Vim.HostConfigChangeOperation]::edit
$vnic.Device = $vmkNic[0]
$vnic.Spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostVirtualNicSpec
$vnic.Spec.DistributedVirtualPort = New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchPortConnection
$vnic.Spec.DistributedVirtualPort.SwitchUuid = $vds.ExtensionData.Uuid
$vnic.Spec.DistributedVirtualPort.PortgroupKey = $portgroups | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $vmkNic[1] } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Key
$config.Vnic += $vnic
}
$netSys.UpdateNetworkConfig($config,[VMware.Vim.HostConfigChangeMode]::modify)
The object I get back looks right, but I receive the following error back:
Exception calling "UpdateNetworkConfig" with "2" argument(s): "
Required property portgroup is missing from data object of type HostVirtualNicConfig

According to the API, portgroup gets ignored, so I tried setting it to a blank value, a real PG name on the vSS, the vDS PG name, and as a blank:
foreach($vmkNic in $vmkNics){
$vnic = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostVirtualNicConfig
$vnic.ChangeOperation = [VMware.Vim.HostConfigChangeOperation]::edit
$vnic.Device = $vmkNic[0]
$vnic.Portgroup = $vmkNic[1]
$vnic.Spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.HostVirtualNicSpec
$vnic.Spec.DistributedVirtualPort = New-Object VMware.Vim.DistributedVirtualSwitchPortConnection
$vnic.Spec.DistributedVirtualPort.SwitchUuid = $vds.ExtensionData.Uuid
$vnic.Spec.DistributedVirtualPort.PortgroupKey = $portgroups | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $vmkNic[1] } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Key
$config.Vnic += $vnic
}
This returned the error:
Exception calling "UpdateNetworkConfig" with "2" argument(s): "A specified parameter was not correct: "
At line:1 char:1
+ $netSys.UpdateNetworkConfig($config,[VMware.Vim.HostConfigChangeMode] ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this point, I'm not sure if I'm way off track on how to do this, or if I'm missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.
