Hello All
Was hoping someone might be able to help. Am in the process of creating an advanced function, and have become stuck with something that (i think) maybe more related to 'powershell' than 'powercli'.
What i want from the function is the ability to add a SINGLE portgroup to a SINGLE host OR the ability to add MANY portgroups to MANY hosts within a cluster. I have added in what i've achieved so far but and i can easily add the SINGLE portgroup but the problem is the MULTIPLE bit that is causing issues. (script is shown below)
I was thinking of using DYNAMIC PARAMETERS to assist, but I'm wondering if I can do this WITHOUT using them ?!?!?
The plan was to use the 'multiple' switch to choose a different set of parameters, but I get stuck when trying to choose a cluster within the environments (red, Blue, Green) as each enviroment has a load of different clusters attached to them and all clusters have a different set of portgroups associated with them as well. ?!?!?
Any ideas anyone ???
AS usual - many thanks in advance
