How to create a new Virtual Machine and assign an IP to it

[weidi]

As i was fiddling around to find a way, here is the function i came up with. Be careful, there is absolutely no error handling so far.

function New-NBVirtualMachine
{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    [Alias()]
    [OutputType([int])]
    Param
    (
        [string]$Name,
        [string]$Cluster,
        [string]$IP,
        [string]$tenant,
        [string]$VMNICName
    )

    Begin
    {
        $NBCluster = Get-NetboxVirtualizationCluster -name $Cluster
        $NBTenant = Get-NetboxTenant -Name $tenant
    }
    Process
    {
        $vm = New-NetboxVirtualMachine -Name $Name -Cluster $NBCluster.id -Tenant $NBtenant.id
        $interface = Add-NetboxVirtualMachineInterface -Name $VMNICName -Virtual_Machine $vm.id


        $NBip = New-NetboxIPAMAddress -Address $IP -Tenant $NBtenant.id 
        Set-NetboxIPAMAddress -Assigned_Object_Type virtualization.vminterface -Assigned_Object_Id $interface.id -id $NBip.id
        Set-NetboxVirtualMachine -Primary_IP4 $NBip.id -Id $vm.id
    }
}

Hope this is helpful to others, maybe we can start a Wiki to point out how to do certain stuff more efficient.

Nice !

i think, need to add on README.md (add a section/chapiter : Example)

Sure that would help also for the basic tasks but maybe a Wiki would improve this even further.
Let me just get a bit more into it and you can expect some pull requests ;)
