PS C:\Users\hzwdh\Desktop\Powercli\rumen> Get-VMHost | Get-VirtualSwitch | Select-Object -First 1 | 
Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Physical -Name vmnic1 | 
Add-VirtualSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostPhysicalNic vmnic1
Add-VirtualSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter : 无法绑定参数“VMHostPhysicalNic”。无法将“System.String”类型的“vmn
ic1”值转换为“VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Types.V1.Host.Networking.Nic.PhysicalNic”类型。

You can't use a [String] value on the VMHostPhysicalNic parameter, it has to be an object returned by the Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter cmdlet.

Have a look at Example 2 of the Add-VirtualSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter cmdlet's help.
