HCX Compute Category
Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations
Step 1: Retrieve a object by running a Get command
You can READ objects by using
Get-HCXComputeProfile
cmdlet. See example below:
# Retrieves a list of the HCX Compute Profiles.
Get-HCXComputeProfile
Step 2 : Run commands from the CRUD group
You can CREATE objects by using
New-HCXComputeProfile
cmdlet. See example below:
# Creates an HCX Compute Profile.
$managementNetworkProfile = Get-HCXNetworkProfile -Name "myManagementNetworkProfile" $vmotionNetworkProfile = Get-HCXNetworkProfile -Name "myVmotionNetworkProfile" $cluster = Get-HCXApplianceCompute -ClusterComputeResource $datastore = Get-HCXApplianceDatastore -Compute $cluster -Name "myDatastore" $dvs = Get-HCXInventoryDVS -Compute $cluster -Name "myDVS" New-HCXComputeProfile -ManagementNetworkProfile $managementNetworkProfile -Name "myComputeProfile" -Service BulkMigration,DisasterRecovery,Interconnect,NetworkExtension,Vmotion,WANOptimization -Datastore $datastore -DeploymentResource $cluster -ServiceCluster $cluster -DistributedSwitch $dvs -vMotionNetworkProfile $vmotionNetworkProfile
You can UPDATE objects by using
Set-HCXComputeProfile
cmdlet. See example below:
# Modifies the Compute Profile name.
$myComputeProfile = Get-HCXComputeProfile -Name "myComputeProfile" Set-HCXComputeProfile -Name "newComputeProfile" -ComputeProfile $myComputeProfile
You can REMOVE objects by using
Remove-HCXComputeProfile
cmdlet. See example below:
# Removes the Compute Profile.
$myComputeProfile = Get-HCXComputeProfile -Name "myComputeProfile" Remove-HCXComputeProfile -ComputeProfile $myComputeProfile
