Cmdlet for starting the second Composer Node in a Synergy prior to enabling HA

[erikgraa]

Is there a Cmdlet for starting the second Composer Node in a HPE Synergy after you have e.g. done a Factory Reset?

The Cmdlet Enable-OVComposerHANode exists but requires that the second Composer Node is already started.

It looks like the Cmdlet that I wrote wasn't exported, and isn't available to use. In the meantime, you can use the following to perform that operation:

$BayID = 1
$Enclosure = Get-OVEnclosure -Name EnclosureName

$_request = @{

    op    = 'replace';
    path  = ('/applianceBays/{0}/power' -f $BayID);
    value = 'on'

}

Send-OVRequest -Uri $Enclosure.uri -Method PATCH -Body $_PatchRequest -AddHeader @{'If-Match' = $Enclosure.eTag} | Wait-OVTaskComplete

Thank you @ChrisLynchHPE

You're welcome. Do know that you can only power on a device, which will be provided by Start-OVEnclosureAppliance. You stop or power off a Composer or VM using Stop-OVAppliance.

I added this Cmdlet to the Release 5.50.2607.2724 and in PowerShell Gallery.

This issue will be addressed in other library versions after the US holiday break, in early Dec.
