No way of getting Add-VvToRCopyGroup_WSAPI to work

[apol76]

Hi, I can't find a way to use Add-VvToRCopyGroup_WSAPI: Add-VvToRCopyGroup_WSAPI -GroupName mygroupname -VolumeName myvolumeonprimaryname -VolumeAutoCreation 1 -TargetName rcopytargetname -SecVolumeName myvolumeonprimaryname

and

Add-VvToRCopyGroup_WSAPI -GroupName mygroupname -VolumeName myvolumeonprimaryname -VolumeAutoCreation $true -TargetName rcopytargetname -SecVolumeName myvolumeonprimaryname

and, with a secondary volume with the same name as on primary created on my own,

Add-VvToRCopyGroup_WSAPI -GroupName mygroupname -VolumeName myvolumeonprimaryname -TargetName rcopytargetname -SecVolumeName myvolumeonprimaryname

all return

 The array sends an error message: invalid input: some or all required parameters are missing.

 Status: ProtocolError
 Error code: 40
 HTTP Error code: 400
 Message: invalid input: some or all required parameters are missing

 FAILURE : While Admitting a volume into a Remote Copy group : myvolumeonprimaryname

If I really omit a parameter, it does not return this error but asks for the missing parameter.

The RCGroup is stopped.

Does anybody know what's wrong here, or does anybody use this command successfully?

I'm using PSToolkit 3.1.

PSToolkit DebugLog in X-Logs does non contain any additional information (I think):

I tried a somewhat crude debug idea and added

Write-Host ($body | Out-String)
Write-Host ($($body.targets) | Out-String)

to remotecopy.psm1 to see the actual body that was passed to the API.

Result: body:

 Name                           Value
 ----                           -----
 volumeAutoCreation             True
 targets                        {targetName, secVolumeName}
 action                         1
 volumeName                     myvolumeonprimaryname 

body.targets:

 Name                           Value
 ----                           -----
 targetName                     rcopytargetname 
 secVolumeName                  myvolumeonprimaryname 

According to the api guide, Action 1 is ADMIT_VV - looks good. So I still have no idea what's going wrong.

Btw, PrimeraOS 4.3.5

mygroupname is not included in the body, but is part of the uri. It does in my usecase contain a "." - does this need to be replaced by %2E in the uri?

On a 3PAR with InformOS 3.3.1 MU5 P172, it does not work, too. The error is different:

Show-RequestException : Das Argument kann nicht an den Parameter "InputObject" gebunden werden, da es NULL ist.
In C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\HPEStoragePowerShellToolkit\GLOBAL\VS-Functions.psm1:672 Zeichen:4

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Show-RequestException], ParameterBindingValidationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Show-RequestException

The first line says "The argument could not be bound to parameter "InputObject", because it is NULL"

just for the record, I managed to find the bug that cause this function to fail. 1) $body["action"] = 1 is wrong, it is no longer necessary for the POST variant of Add-VvToRCopyGroup_WSAPI 2) a part of the body is assembled wrong. $body["targets"] = $TargetsBody needs to be changed to $body["targets"] = @() $body["targets"] += $TargetsBody
