You can try explicitly specifying the ESXi node.

Get-VM $VM | 
Get-NetworkAdapter | 
Set-NetworkAdapter -PortGroup (Get-VirtualPortgroup -Name '192.168.11.x_1008' -VMHost $vm.VMHost) -Confirm:$false

For splatting you have to use @ instead of $

$Custo = New-OSCustomizationSpec @sCust

You have to add -IpMode UseStaticIp on the Set-OSCustomizationNicMapping cmdlet.

I am getting the below error, after adding the usestaticip

Where and how did you add it?
Since you are using splatting, it has to be added in the hash table

That is yet another error, and definitely not the code that produced the previous errors.

Did you already stop/start your PowerCLI/PowerShell session?

Blog: lucd.info Twitter: @LucD22 Co-author PowerCLI Reference

ganapa2000 · ‎11-14-2022

LucD,

That did the trick, I closed the Powershell window and started a new session, that worked but I am getting error while setting the portgroup

we have portgroup on local switch on every esxi and it is named as 192.168.11.x_1008

It looks as if Get-VirtualPortgroup -Name ''192.168.11.x_1008'' returns more than 1 object.

Could it be that there are multiple vCenter or ESXi connections open?
Check $global:defaultviservers

ganapa2000 · ‎11-14-2022

LucD,

Yes, I am connecting to one vCenter and trying to deploy where we have same port group on all our esxi hosts.

You can try explicitly specifying the ESXi node.
