I’m working on a script that will edit the default gateway of VRAs. I’m getting the following error while running the script:
PS C:\Windows\system32> TerminatingError(Invoke-RestMethod): "Request Error The server encountered an error processing the request. Please see the service help page for constructing valid requests to the service." Exception : System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request. at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestPSCmdlet.GetResponse(WebRequest request) at Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestPSCmdlet.ProcessRecord() TargetObject : System.Net.HttpWebRequest CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand ErrorDetails : Request Error The server encountered an error processing the request.

The following is found in the logfile.csv
Exception NullReferenceException (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.), cannot be serialized to preserve Stack, skipping.

And finally, here is my script (excluding the connection and session creation info, which I know is working because sessions are connecting correctly and variables are being populated with correct data.
#Get VRAs $GetVRAsURL = $BaseURL + "vras" $vraList = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $GetVRAsURL -TimeoutSec 100 -Headers $zertoSessionHeader -ContentType $TypeJSON #Parse $vraList foreach($vra in $vraList){ $vraIdentifier = $vra.VraIdentifier $vraName = $vra.VraName $defaultGW = $vra.VraNetworkDataApi.DefaultGateway $vraIP = $vra.VraNetworkDataApi.VraIPAddress #Build VRA Edit URL $editVRAsURL = $baseURL + "vras/" + $vraIdentifier if($defaultGW -eq $newVRADefaultGateway){ #Skip update if GW is already correct Write-host "Skipping $vraName" Write-host "Current GW = $defaultGW" Write-host "Default gateway already $defaultGW" }else { #Change GW to $newVRADefaultGateway Write-host "Changing $vraName default gateway from $defaultGW to $newVRADefaultGateway" #Building JSON body to send to API $JSON = "{ ""VraNetworkDataApi"": { ""DefaultGateway"": ""$newVRADefaultGateway"", ""SubnetMask"": ""255.255.255.224"", ""VraIPAddress"": ""$vraIP"", ""VraIPConfigurationTypeApi"": ""Static"" } }" Write-host "Executing $JSON" #try/catch API command try { Invoke-RestMethod -Method PUT -Uri $editVRAsURL -Body $JSON -Headers $zertoSessionHeader -ContentType $TypeJSON -TimeoutSec 60 } catch { Write-Host $_.Exception.ToString() $error[0] | Format-List -Force }#end try/catch Write-host "Waiting 30 seconds before starting next VRA Edit" sleep 30 }#end if/else }#end foreach # Stopping logging Stop-Transcript
Anyone have any ideas what could possibly be causing the Null exception in the PUT statement?
John MMay 25, 2018 06:37:37 PMI found the solution. Apparently all the attributes listed on VRA:PUT documentation as optional, are in fact, required.
