I think that, as written, the script will lose any VLAN setting you have for the portgroups being changed as there’s no VlanId property set in the new HostPortGroupSpec. That could be a bad thing.

Darn it, ignore my previous comment.

Script works absolutley fine IF you remember to change BOTH occurances of vSwitch1 to vSwitch0.

(thwack) – loud noise of beating myself over the head with a printed copy of the PowerCLI commands.

Cheers,
Darren.

Hi Alan.

When I copy / paste the code into PowerGui Script Editor the execute I receive this message.

“Exception calling “UpdatePortGroup” with “2″ argument(s): “A specified parameter was not correct.
Vim.Host.PortGroup::Specification::vswitchId”
At :line:22 char:28
+ $mor.UpdatePortGroup <<<< ($pgName, $portgrp)"

Are you able to clarify why this message appears? Or, is this script part of a larger piece of code hence I'm missing something?

Cheers,
Darren.
