Oneview server discovery script with Powershell cmdlet

Ckirim — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 04:03:16 GMT

Hello Dear,

I'm trying to scripting multiple servers discovery (add") through the Oneview PowerShell cmdlet. Within in script, I am using the following rest command for multiple servers add;

$discover = Send-OVRequest -Uri "/rest/server-hardware/discovery" -Method Post -Body $body

As body;

$body = @{
"mpHostsAndRanges" = "[10.254.254.2 - 10.254.254.50}"
"username" = "hpeadmin"
"password" = "admin123"
"licensingIntent" = "OneViewStandard"
"configurationState" = "Monitored"
}

but of course, for the parameter "mpHostsAndRanges" , it gives me "string" instead "array."

$body.mpHostsAndRanges.GetType()

IsPublic IsSerial Name BaseType
-------- -------- ---- --------
True True String System.Object

as a workaround, I can define an array with a for loop to get my IP range. ( but I do not want to prefer this method)

$array = @()

for ($i= 1 ; $i -lt 50 ; $i++) {

$array += @("10.254.254.$i")

}

do you have any idea about this issue? how can I define the array within the $body parameter?

Regards,

Cihat
