add a pyhsical NIC to a vSwitch, but do not replace the existing

[chakoe]

Hi,

i need a scripts to do things described in the title...i want to add a physical NIC to an existing vSwitch without replacing

the existing/configured NIC in the vSwitch...

My actual script looks like this:

$vs =Get-VirtualSwitch -VMHost $vmHost -Name vSwitch0
$vs | Set-VirtualSwitch -Nic vmnic1

This one replaces the existing NIC 😞

Any idea?

Thx in advance!

New SnapIn, new Problems ( maybe layer8-problem :smileylaugh: )

I want to remediate a test host ( before i use my script to multiple hosts)...

So i searched the community for a script example and i found this:

http://communities.vmware.com/thread/257905?tstart=0

i tried to modify it to use one defined host...

###

$Baseline = Get-Baseline -TargetType host
Get-VMhost myhost1 | ForEach-Object {
  Set-VMhost  -vmhost $_ -state maintenance
  Remediate-Inventory -Entity $_ -Baseline $Baseline -Confirm:$False
  Set-VMhost -vmhost $_ -state connected}

I am connected to our vSphereServer which is also the UpdateManagerServer.

Now I´m getting the following error:

API version '4' for vCenter Server 'virtualcenter.int' is not supported.

Do I have to update something on my VC?

It looks as if you're using a pre-4.x vCenter.

I´m using vsphere VirtualCenter 4.0.....we´re going to update in couple of days or weeks....

ReleaseNotes say that 4.1.. is needed....damn.

It will work then...hopefully..
