Parameters

Required	Parameter Name	Type	Position	Features	Description
required	Location	VIContainer	named	wildcards	Specifies a VApp, ResourcePool, VMHost, or Cluster object where you want to place the new vApp.
required	VApp	VApp	named	pipeline wildcards	Specifies a vApp you want to copy.
optional	Datastore	Datastore	named	wildcards	Specifies the datastore where you want to store the copied vApp. If you do not specify a datastore, the cmdlet takes the first datastore of the host or cluster.
optional	DiskStorageFormat	VirtualDiskStorageFormat	named		Specifies the storage format of the disks of the vApp.
optional	InventoryLocation	FolderContainer	named	wildcards	Specifies a datacenter or a virtual machine folder where you want to place the new vApp.
optional	Name	String	named		Specifies a name for the new vApp.
optional	ProgressAction	ActionPreference	named
optional	RunAsync	SwitchParameter	named		Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run "help About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console.
optional	Server	VIServer[]	named	wildcards	Specifies the Center Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is provided or $null value is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-VIServer.
optional	VMHost	VMHost	named	wildcards	Specifies the host where you want to run the copied vApp.

Required	Parameter Name	Type	Position	Features	Description
required	ContentLibraryItem	ContentLibraryItem	named	pipeline wildcards	Specifies the content library template to deploy the vApp from.
required	Location	VIContainer	named	pipeline wildcards	Specifies a VApp, ResourcePool, VMHost, or Cluster object where you want to place the new vApp.
optional	Datastore	Datastore	named	wildcards	Specifies the datastore where you want to store the copied vApp. If you do not specify a datastore, the cmdlet takes the first datastore of the host or cluster.
optional	DiskStorageFormat	VirtualDiskStorageFormat	named		Specifies the storage format of the disks of the vApp.
optional	InventoryLocation	FolderContainer	named	wildcards	Specifies a datacenter or a virtual machine folder where you want to place the new vApp.
optional	Name	String	named		Specifies a name for the new vApp.
optional	ProgressAction	ActionPreference	named
optional	RunAsync	SwitchParameter	named		Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run "help About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console.

Required	Parameter Name	Type	Position	Features	Description
required	Location	VIContainer	named	pipeline wildcards	Specifies a VApp, ResourcePool, VMHost, or Cluster object where you want to place the new vApp.
required	Name	String	named		Specifies a name for the new vApp.
optional	CpuExpandableReservation	Boolean	named		Indicates that the CPU reservation can grow beyond the specified value if there are available resources.
optional	CpuLimitMhz	Int64	named		Specifies a CPU usage limit in MHz. Utilization will not exceed this limit even if there are available resources.
optional	CpuReservationMhz	Int64	named		Specifies the CPU size in MHz that is guaranteed to be available.
optional	CpuSharesLevel	SharesLevel	named		Specifies the CPU allocation level for this vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. The valid values are Custom, High, Low, and Normal.
optional	InventoryLocation	FolderContainer	named	wildcards	Specifies a datacenter or a virtual machine folder where you want to place the new vApp.
optional	MemExpandableReservation	Boolean	named		If the value is $true, the memory reservation can grow beyond the specified value if there are available resources.
optional	MemLimitGB	Decimal	named		Specifies a memory usage limit in gigabytes (GB). If this parameter is set, utilization will not exceed the specified limit even if there are available resources.
optional	MemLimitMB	Int64	named		This parameter is obsolete. Use MemLimitGB instead. Specifies a memory usage limit in megabytes (MB). If this parameter is set, utilization will not exceed the specified limit even if there are available resources.
optional	MemReservationGB	Decimal	named		Specifies the guaranteed available memory in gigabytes (GB).
optional	MemReservationMB	Int64	named		This parameter is obsolete. Use MemReservationGB instead. Specifies the guaranteed available memory in megabytes (MB).
optional	MemSharesLevel	SharesLevel	named		Specifies the memory allocation level for this vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. The valid values are Custom, High, Low, and Normal.
optional	NumCpuShares	Int32	named		Specifies the CPU allocation level for this vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless the CpuSharesLevel parameter is set to Custom.
optional	NumMemShares	Int32	named		Specifies the memory allocation level for this vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless the MemSharesLevel parameter is set to Custom.
