Luc,
I have scaled down your script for Import / export of only roles in Virtual center and left out the permission part. I can export the roles without any problem. But while importing i face a error. can you please help me in troubleshooting. Both the script i use and error are given below,
function New-Role
{
param($name, $privIds)
Begin{}
Process{
$roleId = $authMgr.AddAuthorizationRole($name,$privIds)
}
End{
return $roleId
}
}
# Create hash table with the current roles
$authMgr = Get-View AuthorizationManager
$roleHash = @{}
$authMgr.RoleList | % {
$roleHash[$_.Name] = $_.RoleId
}
# Read XML file
$XMLfile = “C:\role.xml”
$vInventory =[xml]“<dummy/>”
$vInventory.Load($XMLfile)
# Define Xpaths for the roles and the permissions
$XpathRoles = “Inventory/Roles/Role”
# Create custom roles
$vInventory.SelectNodes($XpathRoles) | % {
if(-not $roleHash.ContainsKey($_.Name)){
$privArray = @()
$_.Privilege | % {
$privArray += $_.Name
}
$roleHash[$_.Name] = (New-Role $_.Name $privArray)
}
}
Error,
Exception calling "AddAuthorizationRole" with "2" argument(s): "vim.fault.NotFound"
At :line:8 char:47
+ $roleId = $authMgr.AddAuthorizationRole <<<< ($name,$privIds)
Additionally i have tried to alter the lines as given below, but does not work and throws the error,
[xml]$vInventory = “<dummy/>”
[xml]$vInventory.Load($XMLfile)
