  • 1.  PowerCLI vCloud director Org VDC network change for multiple vApp

    Posted Aug 04, 2023 06:31 AM

    Hello,

     

    I am trying to assign/change and org VDC network with another one. The network is connected to multiple vApp. I am trying to use below script.

     I am getting the error when i am running this script for 2 or more vApp. When it's for only one vApp where the OrgNetwork is connected the script running well.

    ------------------------------------------------Used Script-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    $VApp1 = Get-CIVApp -Name 'Test'
    $VApp2 = Get-CIVApp -Name 'Test_1'
    $myVappNetwork2 = Get-CIVAppNetwork -Name 'Test_NSX_A'
    $myVappNetwork3 = Get-CIVAppNetwork -Name 'Test_NSX_B'


    foreach ($cldvm in $VApp1 )
    {
    $cldvm | Get-CIVAppNetwork -Name 'test_downlink_NSX-V_to_PG' | Get-CINetworkAdapter | Set-CINetworkAdapter -VAppNetwork $myVappNetwork2
    $cldvm | Get-CIVAppNetwork -Name 'test_downlink_NSX-V_to_PG_4001' | Get-CINetworkAdapter | Set-CINetworkAdapter -VAppNetwork $myVappNetwork3
    break
    }


    foreach ($plm in $VApp2) {
    $plmm | Get-CIVAppNetwork -Name 'test_downlink_NSX-V_to_PG' | Get-CINetworkAdapter | Set-CINetworkAdapter -VAppNetwork $myVappNetwork2

    $plmm | Get-CIVAppNetwork -Name 'test_downlink_NSX-V_to_PG_400' | Get-CINetworkAdapter | Set-CINetworkAdapter -VAppNetwork $myVappNetwork3

    break
    }

    Hello, Sandui.
    Tell me a little more.
    Do you want to add VDC network to a specific Vapp?

    Hello Macleud,

     

    The networks are presented in OVDC also presented on each targeted vApp.

    My goal is to swap/change a network presented in the vApp  and connected to the VMs belonging to this vApp with new network created and presented on the same vApp.

     

    Example:

    Org VDC Test_1:

    Org VDC networks:

                       Test_A

                       Test_B

    vApp_Test_1:

                       VM_Test_1------------Connected---------------Test_A

    vApp_Test_2:

                       VM_Test_2-----------Connected----------------Test_A

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    In the end I want the script to :

    vApp_Test_1:

                       VM_Test_1------------Connected---------------Test_B

    vApp_Test_2:

                       VM_Test_2-----------Connected----------------Test_B

    Hi, Sandui.

    What version of vCloud? Do you use nsx-v or nsx-t?
