I am trying to create a vds, but the problem I run into is my physical nic gets added but the uplink is not active. When I view the vds with the client the little uplink icon is grey shouldn't it be green. I am using the following powercli command to create the switch:
new-vdswitch -name $vdsName -location $targetDC -Version $switchVersion
Then I add the hosts:
Add-VDSwitchVMHost -VDSwitch $vdsName -VMHost $currHost -Confirm:$false
Inside a loop I add the pnic to the switch with:
Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostPhysicalNic (get-vmhostnetworkadapter -VMHost $currHost[$i] -Name "vmnic3") -DistributedSwitch $vdsName -Confirm:$false
After the last command I check the host and see the pnic was added to the vdswitch but the uplink isn't active. Is there a step that I am missing?
