[Bug]: New-HoloDeckESXiNodes fails #113
Description
Holorouter Version
9.0.2
VCF Version
VCF 9.0.1.0
Target Type
vCenter Cluster
Describe the bug
Holodeck VCF 9.0.1 deployed to a single host cluster managed by vCenter all ok.
Adding additional ESX hosts to create a workload domain manually, using New-HoloDeckESXiNodes failed. The command reference page for New-HoloDeckESXiNodes does NOT show -VIDomain as a required parameter, even though it is. As I want to manually create a workload domain, I don't understand why it needs to know if it's for Management or Workload.
The command deployed the nested ESX host VMs into the physical environment ok, but failed to install ESX9.
A note to suggest a minimum cpu/memory would be handy. Yes it varies for ESA/OSA, NSX etc, but a guide would be good along with all the parameters documented.
Reproduction steps
VCF 9.0.1 was deployed. Using the same powershell session the following was run:
PS /root> New-HoloDeckESXiNodes -Nodes 3 -CPU 4 -MemoryInGb 10 -Site 'a' -vSANMode 'OSA'
cmdlet New-HoloDeckESXiNodes at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:
VIDomain: Workload
