Been trying to figure out how to create a edge gateway in a vDC with powershell and have gotten nowhere, perhaps someone else can give a hand?
So i've tried to check an excisting edge gateway to see what's required when creating one, but that hasn't really helped. So here's what i've been trying to do sofar:
$example = search-cloud -QueryType EdgeGateway | where {$_.name -like "*test*"} | Get-CIView
Status : 1
Configuration : VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.GatewayConfiguration
Name : test
Description : test edgegw
Tasks :
Id : urn:vcloud:gateway:2e062275-a6db-46b4-83ec-170a24b4fe8d
OperationKey :
Client : VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.CloudClient
Href : https://example.url/api/admin/edgeGateway/2e062275-a6db-46b4-83ec-170a24b4fe8d
Type : application/vnd.vmware.admin.edgeGateway+xml
Link : {, , , ...}
AnyAttr : {xsi:schemaLocation}
VCloudExtension :
Now, i've tried the following:
| $externalnetwork = Get-ExternalNetwork | Get-CIView | ?{$_.name -eq $vCDExtNetName} | ||
| $myExtNetwork = new-object vmware.vimautomation.cloud.views.Gateway | ||
| $myExtNetwork.Name = $vCDEdgeGWName | ||
| $myExtNetwork.Description = $vCDEdgeGWDesc | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration = new-object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.GatewayConfiguration | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.GatewayBackingConfig = "compact" | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.GatewayInterfaces = new-object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.reference | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.GatewayInterfaces.GatewayInterface = new-object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.reference | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.GatewayInterfaces.GatewayInterface.Name = "uplink1" | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.GatewayInterfaces.GatewayInterface.DisplayName = "uplink1" | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.GatewayInterfaces.GatewayInterface.Network = $externalnetwork.href | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.GatewayInterfaces.GatewayInterface.InterfaceType = "uplink" | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes = new-object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.IpScopes | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.IpScope = new-object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.IpScope | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.ipscope[0].Gateway = $vCDExtNetGw | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.ipscope[0].Netmask = $vCDExtNetSubNetmask | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.ipscope[0].IsInherited = "False" | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.ipscope[0].ipranges = new-object vmware.vimautomation.cloud.views.ipranges | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.Ipscopes.ipscope[0].ipranges.iprange = new-object vmware.vimautomation.cloud.views.iprange | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.ipscope[0].IpRanges.IpRange[0].startaddress = $vCDEdgeWanIPStart | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.ipscope[0].IpRanges.IpRange[0].endaddress = $vCDEdgeWanIPEnd | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.ipscope[0].AllocatedIpAddresses = new-object vmware.vimautomation.cloud.views.AllocatedIpAddresses | ||
| $myEdgeGateway.GatewayConfiguration.IpScopes.ipscope[0].AllocatedIpAddresses.IpAddress[0] = $vCDEdgeWanIP |
Now this gives a lot of errors, but the first:
Property 'GatewayConfiguration' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.
At D:\DC-DEV\Powershell\test.ps1:96 char:17
+ $myEdgeGateway. <<<< GatewayConfiguration = new-object VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud.Views.GatewayConfiguration
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (GatewayConfiguration:String) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyNotFound

Property 'GatewayInterfaces' cannot be found on this object; make sure it exists and is settable.

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyNotFound
Clearly there's a lot things wrong with this, like that GatewayConfiguration doesn't excist and so on. I've also tried "Configuration" with the same error, as stated here: VMware vCloud Director 5.5 Documentation Center
I'm just lost on how should i figure out what to use in this method to get things working? The API documentation gives a hint but doesn't seem to apply 1:1 or then i'm reading it wrong.
