I need to remove a single adapter via PowerCLI:
"Get-NetworkAdapter -VM myvm" returns:
Name Type NetworkName MacAddress WakeOnLan
Enabled
---- ---- ----------- ---------- ---------
Network adapter 1 e1000 VM Network 00:50:56:09:09:09 False
Network adapter 2 e1000 VM Network 00:50:56:01:08:07 False
I only want to remove Network adapter 2, so I tried:
"Remove-NetworkAdapter -networkadapter "Network adapter 2" which returns:
Remove-NetworkAdapter : Cannot bind parameter 'NetworkAdapter'. Cannot convert
the "Network adapter 2" value of type "System.String" to type "VMware.VimAutoma
tion.ViCore.Types.V1.VirtualDevice.NetworkAdapter".
At line:1 char:38
+ remove-networkadapter -networkadapter <<<< "Network adapter 2"
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Remove-NetworkAdapter], Pa
rameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,VMware.VimAutomat
ion.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.RemoveNetworkAdapter
So I tried:
$network = get-networkadapter -VM myvm
Remove-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $network
Which wants to delete both network adapters:
Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing operation "Remove network adapter" on Target "Network adapter 1,
Network adapter 2".
So I tried
$network = get-networkadapter -VM myvm
Remove-NetworkAdapter -NetworkAdapter $network.networkadapter[2]
Which returns:
Cannot index into a null array.
At line:1 char:63
+ remove-networkadapter -networkadapter $network.networkadapter[ <<<< 2]
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (2:Int32) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NullArray
So, what am I missing? I need to remove only network adapter 2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
