Creating reservations with PowervRA - This gist contains examples for creating vSphere and vCloud Air reservations

I tried this code for creating a reservation for a vsphere object on my vRA 7.0.1 environment, but got the following error. It's worth noting that I ran this from a workstation on a different network, not sure if that matters.

Invoke-RestMethod : {"errors":[{"code":10101,"message":"Invalid argument.","systemMessage":"Illegal GUID format null","moreInfoUrl":null}]}
At C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Virtualization\Client\PowervRA\Functions\Public\Invoke-vRARestMethod.psm1:109 char:25

• ... $Response = Invoke-RestMethod -Method $Method -Headers $Headers -Uri ...

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

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

Any thoughts??

Here's the code I attempted to run.

--- Get the compute resource id

$ComputeResource = Get-vRAReservationComputeResource -Type vSphere -Name "vccls1 (vcenter1.nebe.local)" -verbose

--- Get the network definition

$NetworkDefinitionArray = @()
$Network1 = New-vRAReservationNetworkDefinition -Type vSphere -ComputeResourceId $ComputeResource.Id -NetworkPath "NetPath1" -NetworkProfile "192.168.0.1" -verbose
$NetworkDefinitionArray += $Network1

--- Get the storage definition

$StorageDefinitionArray = @()
$Storage1 = New-vRAReservationStorageDefinition -Type vSphere -ComputeResourceId $ComputeResource.Id -Path "Storage01" -ReservedSizeGB 10 -Priority 0 -verbose
$StorageDefinitionArray += $Storage1

$Param = @{

Type = "vSphere"
Name = "A-Test"
Tenant = "vsphere.local"
BusinessGroup = "Test Group"
ReservationPolicy = "ReservationPolicy01"
Priority = 1
ComputeResourceId = $ComputeResource.Id
Quota = 0
MemoryGB = 20
Storage = $StorageDefinitionArray
Resourcepool = "RP1"
Network = $NetworkDefinitionArray
EnableAlerts = $true
