Automation

Hi all

I created a script to configure a vlan bridge on a segment. But when I run the script multiple times, my variables $segment , $bridgeProflie, $vlanTz become arrays with duplicate elements.

When I disconnect and reconnect my session, it will work again for one run.

Obviously I can work around this but I would like to understand why this is happening.

First run:

PS /Users/filipsmeets/repos> $segment.GetType() | Fl Basetype

BaseType : VMware.Bindings.Nsx.Policy.Model.PolicyConfigResource

Second run:

PS /Users/filipsmeets/repos> $segment.GetType() | Fl Basetype

BaseType : System.Array

Duplicate entries in the Array after second run:

S /Users/filipsmeets/repos> $segment |fl DisplayName

DisplayName : example-segment

DisplayName : example-segment

These functions are generated from the OpenAPI files, and this definitely looks like a bug.
I suggest opening an SR.

If GSS claims that PowerCLI is not supported or that you need a Developer Support contract, point them to the PowerCLI support policy: https://developer.vmware.com/docs/15315/GUID-0F835722-E667-4177-A8EF-51AB15FA837E.html.

Thx for the reply Luc. As mentioned I have built in a workarround to mitigate this.
