Hello
I am trying to use your script to automate RP4VM but I am having a problem

PS Z:\trabalho\Comum\RP4VM> .\RP4VMs-Protect.ps1 -vc VC10 -credentials $credentials -esxcluster VXRAIL-CLUSTER-PRD -pluginserver HCRPA00 -tag DRTAG
-> Connecting to vCenter:

Name Port User

VC10 443 company\gtaraujo68

Invoke-RestMethod : Não é possível localizar um parâmetro que coincida com o nome de parâmetro 'SkipCertificateCheck'.
No Z:\trabalho\Comum\RP4VM\RP4VMs-Protect.ps1:95 caractere:57

• ... Invoke-RestMethod -Method GET -uri $uri -SkipCertificateCheck -Header ...

•                                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Invoke-RestMethod], ParameterBindingException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

No registered RP4VMs clusters, configure through Deployer or register vCenter through the API

Could you please let me know if this problem could be solved?
Thanks in advance!

Guilherme

The file used for authentication must include user and password of the Vcenter associated and separated by space.

Hey Idan.
I was depoying on another lab system... and ran into a weitd issue where the deployed rp4vm nodes arent accepting the password... im going to redeploy with your latest and see if it fixes it.

line 235 mentions dns/ntp
line 627 i think is network related... maybe the new lab vc is setup oddly...

Hey Idan.
I want to learn how to use protectvm.py

For example:
protectvm.py -s XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

Could you give me an example

Or give me some explanation
Protectvm.py - h I didn't understand

Thank
