Set-VBRJobProxy - Multiple Proxies

[kefoster]

I want to specify multiple proxies for specific jobs via powershell. It appears Set-VBRJobProxy can only set a single proxy to a Job. Is there a way around this? Any examples would be great.

Thank you,

Kevin

Proxy (-Proxy) parameter of the said commandlet accepts multiple proxy entities, so, setting array of proxies should work without any issues, like:

Code: Select all

Set-VBRJobProxy -Job $Job -Proxy $Proxies

If that doesn't happen, can you please post a code you're trying to execute?

Thanks.

I thought the same thing but when I run the following code I get the error in red. I am using the names of the proxies as they are displayed in the console.

Code: Select all

$Proxies = "fakeproxy107v.somedomain.com","fakeproxy108v.somedomain.com","fakeproxy109v.somedomain.com","fakeproxy113v.somedomain.com","fakeproxy114v.somedomain.com","fakeproxy115v.somedomain.com","fakeproxy116v.somedomain.com","fakeproxy117v.somedomain.com","fakeproxy118v.somedomain.com"
$Jobs = Get-VBRJob | Where Name -Like "AUS_TEST*"
foreach ($Job in $jobs)
{
        Set-VBRJobProxy -Job $Job.Name -Proxy $Proxies
}

Set-VBRJobProxy : Cannot bind parameter 'Proxy'. Cannot convert the "fakeproxy107v.somedomain.com" value of type
"System.String" to type "Veeam.Backup.Core.IProxy".

It seems that you are giving it an array of strings, while it expects to get an array of objects (proxy is an object) Please try the following syntax:

$myArray=$var1,$var2,$var3,$var4

where each $varN is Get-VBRViProxy -Name "Proxy Name"

Thank you! I used the following to get the Proxies I needed.

Code: Select all

$Proxies = Get-VBRViProxy | where Name -Like "*aus*"

Also, -Job parameter should be of a different type. Currently, you're trying to pass a string object to it ($Job.name is a string), while it accepts CBackupJob entities, instead. So, you should use $Job variable, not $Job.name. Thanks.

Good to know. It worked using the $Job.Name so I got lucky! Still trying to figure this all out!

Thank you all for your help!

PS Just saw the big red print about POSTING AN ERROR... I did have a case but they said they couldn't help and gave me the URL for this forum Case # 01073141

Glad to hear you've sorted it our.

Support case is required while posting about technical issues and similar. In the meantime, if you're looking for a general advice or need some help with scripting it's OK to post without it.

Thanks.
