Nodes as VMs in VMAN and ICMP nodes

Set-SwisObject -SwisConnection $SwisConnection -Uri "<UriOfTheNode>" -Properties @{ Category = 2 }

Thanks for the reply KMSigma.SWI. When trying your suggested code I get this error message--

Set-SwisObject : The column "EffectiveCategory" cannot be modified because it is either a computed column or is the
result of a UNION operator.
At .\Add-HCONode.ps1:61 char:2
+ Set-SwisObject -SwisConnection $SwisConnection -Uri $newNodeUri - ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Set-SwisObject], FaultException`1
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : SwisError,SwisPowerShell.SetSwisObject

BTW, before opening this question I tried adding Category to my NodeProps and got the same error. This is what I used to create the node(s).

$ip="$($entry.IP)"
$newNodeProps = @{
        IPAddress = $ip;
        EngineID = 2;
        ObjectSubType = "ICMP";
        DNS = "$($entry.DNS)";
        isServer = 'true'
        External = 'FALSE'
        Caption = "$($entry.Node)"
        PollInterval = 120
        # === default values ===
        # EntityType = 'Orion.Nodes'
        # DynamicIP = false
        # RediscoveryInterval = 30
        # StatCollection = 10  
    }

    $newNodeUri = New-SwisObject $SwisConnection -EntityType "Orion.Nodes" -Properties $newNodeProps

Bug - as far as I'm concerned.  I don't know where that "union" would come from.

Hi jfaldmo

I am trying to do the same thing I think (see my Thwack Post).  Did you ever get to the bottom of this issue, if so, can you post details of how you have managed to achieve it??

Many thanks, 

Simon.
