Ressource Pool and accessgroup error on linked clone by .json method about powercli-example-scripts HOT 7 OPEN

I had a similar Issue. Very frustrating (but fun).

I had to modify (2) lines in the VMware.HV.Helper.psm1 file.

ERROR 1: "No hostOrCluster found with Name: [$hostOrCluster]"

[LINE 4817, Didn't Work]
$hostClusterList = ($vmFolder_helper.HostOrCluster_GetHostOrClusterTree($services,$vmobject.datacenter)).treeContainer.children.info

[LINE 4817, Fixed]
$hostClusterList = ($vmFolder_helper.HostOrCluster_GetHostOrClusterTree($services, $vmobject.datacenter)).treeContainer.children.treecontainer.children.info

ERROR 2: "Missing value for non-optional field accessGroup"

[LINE 4626, Didn't Work]
$ag = $accessGroup_client.AccessGroup_List($services) | Where-Object { $_.base.name -eq $accessGroup }

[LINE 4626, Fixed]
$ag = $accessGroup_client.AccessGroup_List($services).Children | Where-Object { $_.base.name -eq $accessGroup }

I have feeling that Resource Pools haven't been solved yet. When I use -ResourcePool "VDI" then I receive error:
New-HVPool : Failed to create Pool with error: No hostOrCluster found with Name: [VDI]
At line:1 char:1

• New-HVPool -LinkedClone -Vcenter $VC `

•   + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,New-HVPool
  
  

When I use value Cluster1 which is root then it works. Parameter -HostOrCluster works fine.

@maniaX1 please can you let me know your Resource Pool and host/cluster structure?

from powercli-example-scripts.

/Site/host/Cluster1/Resources/VDI - that's what I see in Horizon on resource pool. If I use -HostOrCluster Cluster1 -ResourcePool VDI then I got the error which I posted above.

@maniaX1 Your structure appears to be similar to mine so I'm not sure why this doesn't work. I did see in the error message that you posted it says "No hostOrCluster found with Name: [VDI]" where from your command line -HostOrCluster Cluster1 -ResourcePool VDI I'd expect that to say either "... Name: [Cluster1]" or "No Resource Pool ...". Please can you check that for me?

In order to try to diagnose this further I have quickly pulled together a function Get-HVResourceStructure which will output your resource pool structure tree for further diagnostics.

@mtelvers Well, after reading this whole thread carefully I used this solution from @elavarec :
Solution : for this parameter work, I must change the line 4626 like this :
$ag = $accessGroup_client.AccessGroup_List($services).Children| Where-Object { $_.base.name -eq $accessGroup }

I mixed it with solution from @D02037645 before which tells something about different parameter.

@maniaX1 I'm glad that you have it working.

PR #131 altered that line completely as .children only fixes it under certain circumstances.
