Getting error with Connect-NsxtServer : Invalid JSON primitive

pkharekofax Jan 12, 2018 8:48 AM

Hi all,

Has anyone encountered this error, and knows a fix?

This is on PowerCLI 6.5.4.7.

Thanks!

Any more info when you add the Verbose switch?

Hi LucD,

Exact same error with Verbose.

C:\> Connect-NsxtServer -Server xxx -Verbose
Connect-NsxtServer : 1/12/2018 12:59:29 PM      Connect-NsxtServer              Invalid JSON primitive: .

Looks like a bug, I suggest you open a SR

I asked another person in my team to try and he got the same error.

When they give you a hard time to open a SR for PowerCLI, point them to PowerCLI Support Breakdown

Thanks, LucD.. That's good to know.

This was a user error, my bad - I was trying to connect to NSX-V using an NSX-T command. The correct command is Connect-NsxServer, not Connect-NsxtServer.
