How to check host if already added in VDSwitch?

[nmbgdc]

Hi Guys,

I have scenario where I am adding host to VDS with one Network adapter using below script which is working fine.

now using the same script if I add another Network then its giving me an error saying that host is already

param(

[String] $vcenter_fqdn,

[String] $vcenter_username,

[String] $vcenter_password,

[String] $newhostname,

[String] $domainname,

[String] $dvswitchname_1,

[String] $mac_group1_list

)

Connect-VIServer -Server "$vcenter_fqdn" -User "$vcenter_username" -Password "$vcenter_password" -Force

$esxihost = Get-VMHost "$newhostname.$domainname"

$dvswitch = Get-VDSwitch $dvswitchname_1

Add-VDSwitchVMHost -VMHost $esxihost -VDSwitch $dvswitch

$esxihostnic = Get-VMHost $esxihost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Physical | Where-Object {$_.Mac -eq "$mac_group1_list"}

Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostPhysicalNic $esxihostnic -DistributedSwitch $dvswitch -Confirm:$false

Error---

Add-VDSwitchVMHost : 6/25/20 1:54:09 PM Add-VDSwitchVMHost              VMHost 'host-prog.examlab.com' is already added to VDSwitch 'dvs-1'

I have find something like this--- but now sure whether it is right method--

param(

[String] $vcenter_fqdn,

[String] $vcenter_username,

[String] $vcenter_password,

[String] $newhostname,

[String] $domainname,

[String] $dvswitchname_1,

[String] $mac_group1_list

)

Connect-VIServer -Server "$vcenter_fqdn" -User "$vcenter_username" -Password "$vcenter_password" -Force

$esxihost = Get-VMHost "$newhostname.$domainname"

$dvswitch = Get-VDSwitch $dvswitchname_1

$vd=Get-VMHost -Name "$newhostname.$domainname" | Get-VDSwitch

$vds_name=$vd.name

if($dvswitchname_1 -eq $vds_name) {

   $esxihostnic = Get-VMHost $esxihost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Physical | Where-Object {$_.Mac -eq "$mac_group1_list"}

Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostPhysicalNic $esxihostnic -DistributedSwitch $dvswitch -Confirm:$false

}else {

   Add-VDSwitchVMHost -VMHost "$esxihost" -VDSwitch "$dvswitch"

$esxihostnic = Get-VMHost $esxihost | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Physical | Where-Object {$_.Mac -eq "$mac_group1_list"}

Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostPhysicalNic $esxihostnic -DistributedSwitch $dvswitch -Confirm:$false

}

Afaik, that is currently not yet possible with a cmdlet, you'll have to fall back to the API.

See for example Re: Assign vminc to Specific Uplink on VDS

i did not use the APIs and above script works for me..I dont know the internal but expectation was fulfill.

Thank you.
