Hi All,

I got a problem here. So, request any help from you guys .

I wrote a powershell script with PowerCLI, to scheduled clone some VMs in vCenter 4.1.0.

Problem:

There are 2 ESX servers, ESX A has two vNetwork Distributed Switchs, another ESX B has one switch. The name for the 3 switchs is different.

I used below command and parameters to backup VM. But, due to the switch is different, it prompts "A specified parameter was not correct. spec.deviceChange.device.port.switchUuid".

New-VM -Name "VM_Backup" -VM (Get-VM "VM") -VMHost "ESX B" -Datastore "Store 1"

Temp Soluation:

I final use the vSphere GUI to complete the backup job, which i need to check "edit virtual hareware (experimental)", then edit the networkname to switch name on ESX B. click ok, then works.

Question:

My question is, at first place i want to use the script i wrote to do the job, cause i can customize many things. So, since to use "edit virtual hardware (experimental)" can continue the copying, i just wondering how could i use PowerCLI to do this?

 

thanks for your time and any help.

Larry.
