API to start failover test fails

I don’t use Cmdlets because I want to just learn one method across all application I script. Instead, I am using the POST method with Invoke_RestMethod and/or Invoke_WebRequest. Both return the same error.

I can run the call from swagger and it works, but when I run the same call from PowerShell, I get the following error:

“Cannot automatically assign Host to new VPG on target”.

The URL and body format I am using is below:

https://<server>:<port>/v1/vpgs/<vpgidentifier>/FailoverTest
```
{
  "checkpointIdentifier": "<tag ID>"
}
```

I also tried using the full body JSON.
```
{
  "checkpointIdentifier": "string",
  "vmIdentifiers": [
    "string"
  ]
}

I still got the same error.
