Creating LoadBalancer

[mavelite]

I'm on the last bit of my full vCD automation effort but I'm running into errors with the creation of the Load Balancer. I've put together the following but it's throwing errors when i try to deploy the LB:

$LoadBalancer = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LoadBalancerService

$LoadBalancer.IsEnabled = $true

$LoadBalancer.VirtualServer = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LoadBalancerVirtualServer

$LoadBalancer.VirtualServer[0].Name = "vCloud-HTTPS-VIP"

$LoadBalancer.VirtualServer[0].IsEnabled = $true

$LoadBalancer.VirtualServer[0].Description = "Virtual IP connecting VMNet to vCloud Web Client"

$LoadBalancer.VirtualServer[0].IPAddress = $VMNet_HTTP_VIP

$LoadBalancer.VirtualServer[0].Interface = $VMNetExternalNetwork.href

$LoadBalancer.Pool = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LoadBalancerPool

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Name = "vCloud HTTP Pool"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Description = "vCloud HTTP Pool of IP's"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Id = "pool-1"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LBPoolMember

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member += New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LBPoolMember

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[0].IpAddress = $vCloud_CellA_HTTP

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[0].ServicePort = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LBPoolServicePort

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[0].ServicePort += New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LBPoolServicePort

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[0].ServicePort[0].Port = "443"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[0].ServicePort[0].Protocol = "HTTPS"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[0].ServicePort[1].Port = "80"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[0].ServicePort[1].Protocol = "HTTP"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[1].IpAddress = $vCloud_CellB_HTTP

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[1].ServicePort = New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LBPoolServicePort

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[1].ServicePort += New-Object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.LBPoolServicePort

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[1].ServicePort[0].Port = "443"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[1].ServicePort[0].Protocol = "HTTPS"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[1].ServicePort[1].Port = "80"

$LoadBalancer.Pool[0].Member[1].ServicePort[1].Protocol = "HTTP"

$edgegateway.ConfigureServices($LoadBalancer)

PowerCLI C:\> .\load_balancer.ps1

Exception calling "ConfigureServices" with "1" argument(s): "Required element

not found : Pool"

At C:\load_balancer.ps1:44 char:1

+ $edgegateway.ConfigureServices($LoadBalancer)

Anyone had luck deploying the LoadBalancer using powercli???

Was able to finally solve this, posted to my blog:
