why powercli script is not accepting the variable parameters during the execution? - powercli

Question

When I am trying to run this powercli script getting below error
The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the | command again
but its is working with static value. any clue why this is happening. here is the command with parameters
/usr/bin/pwsh /ansible-vmware/vmwarehost-config-playbooks/lag-add-host.ps1 -vcenter_fqdn "10.10.0.1" -vcenter_username "xxxxxx.abc.com" -vcenter_password "XXXX" -newhostname "hostdone1" -domainname "abc.com" -dvswitchname_1 "dv1" -nic1_pnicmac1 "ac:1f:6b:cb:83:3a" -cluster_name "xyzclr" -lag_name1 "lag1-0"
