$vCenter = Read-host -prompt "Enter the vCenter hostname"
connect-viserver -server $vCenter -Credential (Get-Credential)
$cluster=read-host -prompt "Enter the cluster Name"
$naa.id=read-host -prompt "Enter the naa id"
Get-cluster -Name "$cluster" | Get-VMHost | Get-ScsiLun -canonicalName "$naa.id" | Set-ScsiLun -MultipathPolicy "roundrobin"

=============================================

In the above script is used to change the datastore Multipath policy to RoundRobin. When we execute the script it prompts for vCenter FQDN,credentials,Cluster Name and naa.id of the datastore.

But i get the below error message.

=============================================================

Property 'id' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settab

Your script stores the text in the Id property of the $naa variable.

Does that $naa variable have an Id property ?

Is it defined somewhere ?

i have modified the script from $naa.id to $naa. It works fine. But at the end i get the below error message.

Looks like Get-VMHost isn't placing any objects in the pipeline.

Are you sure

Get-cluster -Name "$cluster" | Get-VMHost

returns any VMHost objects ?
