Get-NicTeamingPolicy not working

[kwvalenti]

When I attempt to use either of the following commands I get an error.  What am I missing?

Get-VirtualPortGroup -name PGNAME | Get-NicTeamingPolicy

Get-NicTeamingPolicy : The input object cannot be bound to any parameters for the command either because the command does not take pipeline input or the input and its properties do not match any of

the parameters that take pipeline input.

Try doing it as

$pg = Get-VirtualPortGroup -name PGNAME

Get-NicTeamingPolicy -VirtualPortgroup $pg

We have seen similar flaws in some cmdlets when retrieving, or better not retrieving, values from the pipeline.

No luck.

$pg = Get-VirtualPortGroup -name PGNAME

Get-NicTeamingPolicy -VirtualPortGroup $pg

Get-NicTeamingPolicy : Cannot bind parameter 'VirtualPortGroup'. Cannot convert the "PGNAME" value of type "VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Host.Networking.DistributedPortGroupImpl" to type

"VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Host.Networking.VirtualPortGroup".

Ah, but it seems that you are using a dvSwitch portgroup.

Afaik that is not yet supported in the cmdlet.
