I have been trying for a while to enable iscsi via powershell script.
What seems to work for everyone else including autolab doesnt work for me. I see reference to a problem back in 2009/2010 but nothing recent.
Please explain why this code:
$VMHost = "blade01.domain.com"
Connect-VIServer $VMHost
Get-VMHostStorage $VMHost | Set-VMHostStorage -SoftwareIScsiEnabled $true
The error I always get is:
Get-VMHostStorage : 5/26/2014 11:36:38 AM Get-VMHostStorage Object re
ference not set to an instance of an object.
At C:\Users\...\Documents\ps-scripts\vc55upgrade\createMgtBlades.ps1:91 char
:35
+ $VMHostStorage = Get-VMHostStorage <<<< -VMHost $VMhostObj | Set-VMHostStora
ge -SoftwareIScsiEnabled $True
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-VMHostStorage], VimExcept
ion
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Core_BaseCmdlet_UnknownError,VMware.VimAutomatio
n.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.Host.GetVMHostStorage
I have tried several variations on this to no avail.
Get-VMHostStorage returns the error by iself
$value = Get-VMHostStorage $VMHost
ends up having $value= null
Thoughts anyone?
I am connecting directly to the esxi 5.5 and not via vcenter.
