Hi Experts,

I am trying to bind 2 vmkernal ports to iSCSI SW HBA. using powercli. ESXi v6.0, Powercli v6.5

I found 2 examples how to do it, but both don't work:

First way: Get-VMHost $VMhost | Set-VMHostiSCSIBinding -HBA $HBANumber -VMKernel $iSCSI_nic - it complain there is no Set-VMHostiSCSIBinding

The second way:

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -V2 -VMhost $VMhost

$esxcli.iscsi.networkportal.add($HBA, $Null, $vmk1number)

or

#$esxcli.swiscsi.nic.add($HBANumber,$vmk1number)

It fails complaining "add" is not an option.

Any help is appreciated.

When you use the V2 switch on the Get-EsxCli cmdlet, the way of making the call is slightly different.

See also PowerCLI 6.3 R1: Get-ESXCLI Why the V2?

First do the following to get the layout of the hash table.

Then do the call (notice the Invoke that needs to be added).

Thank you so much LucD! Work like a charm!
