Set-SpbmEntityConfiguration
This cmdlet sets SPBM-related configuration data for VirtualMachine, HardDisk, and Datastore objects. The configuration data includes storage policy association for VirtualMachine and HardDisk objects and SPBM enablement for Datastore objects.
Syntax
Parameters
| Required | Parameter Name | Type | Position | Features | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| required
|
Configuration | SpbmEntityConfiguration[] | named |
|
Specifies the configuration to modify. The supported types are SpbmDatastoreConfiguration, SpbmVMConfiguration, and SpbmHardDiskConfiguration. This parameter supports OBN based on the names of the associated Datastore and VirtualMachine objects. This parameter also directly accepts objects of type Datastore, VirtualMachine, and HardDisk by silently converting them to the corresponding configuration object through an ArgumentTransformationAttribute object. |
| optional | AutoReplicationGroup | SwitchParameter | named |
|
Specify this if you do not want to explicitly provide a replication group and instead you want to place the entity in the default replication group decided by the VASA provider. If ReplicationGroup and AutoReplicationGroup are both specified, an error is thrown. If none of them are specified, the entity is not placed in any replication group. |
| optional | ProgressAction | ActionPreference | named |
|
|
| optional | ReplicationGroup | SpbmReplicationGroup | named |
|
Specifies the replication group in which you want to put the VirtualMachine and HardDisk objects. |
| optional | Server | VIServer[] | named |
|
Specifies the vCenter 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 the Connect-VIServer cmdlet. |
| optional | StoragePolicy | SpbmStoragePolicy | named |
|
Specifies the storage policy that you want to apply to all Datastore, VirtualMachine, and HardDisk objects defined in the Configuration objects. If the value is $null, removes the current policy association for the VirtualMachine and HardDisk objects. |
