error new-harddisk cmdlet - Index out of Range

[adrianallan]

I've tried to replace the name with a variable $blah = get-vm aaatest and even the diskpath with a variable but I get the same error as shown below

Any advice would be appreciated

The othervm that it is getting the disk from is in the powered off state

PS C:\> New-HardDisk -VM aaatest -DiskPath "[LUNName] OtherVM/OtherVM.vmdk"

New-HardDisk : Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Parameter name: index

At line:1 char:13

+ New-HardDisk <<<< -VM aaatest -DiskPath "[LunName] OtherVM/OtherVM.vmdk"

+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: ( , ArgumentOutOfRangeException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException,VMware.VimAutomation.Commands.NewHardDisk

Works fine for me.

Which PowerCLI and PowerShell version are you using ?

Get-PowerCLIVersion
$psversiontable.buildversion

Against which Virtual Center/vCenter and ESX/ESXi version are you running this ?

And on which platform are you running this ?
