Parameters

Required	Parameter Name	Type	Position	Features	Description
required	Policy	UplinkTeamingPolicy[]	named	pipeline	Specifies the uplink teaming policy that you want to configure.
optional	ActiveUplinkPort	String[]	named		Specifies the active uplink ports used for load balancing for a corresponding vSphere distributed switch.
optional	EnableFailback	Boolean	named		Specifies whether to use failback when restoring links. If, for example, the explicit link order is (vmnic9, vmnic0), and vmnic9 goes down, vmnic0 is activated. However, when vmnic9 comes back up, if EnableFailback is set to $true, vmnic9 is restored as specified in the explicit order. If EnableFailback is set to $false, vmnic0 continues to be used and vmnic9 remains on standby. This parameter replaces the obsolete ObsoleteParameterDisableFailback parameter, which is an alias fort the Failback parameter. Note that passing $false to the obsolete Failback parameter is equivalent to passing $true to the new EnableFailback parameter and the reverse.
optional	FailbackInherited	Boolean	named		Specifies whether the Failback setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.
optional	FailoverDetectionPolicy	NetworkFailoverDetectionPolicy	named		Specifies the method to use for failover detection for the corresponding distributed port, port group, or switch. The value can be LinkStatus or BeaconProbing.
optional	FailoverDetectionPolicyInherited	Boolean	named		Specifies whether the FailoverDetectionPolicy setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.
optional	LoadBalancingPolicy	LoadBalancingPolicy	named		Specifies the load balancing policy for the corresponding distributed port, port group, or switch. The value can be LoadBalanceIP, LoadBalanceLoadBased, LoadBalanceSrcMac, LoadBalanceSrcId, or ExplicitFailover.
optional	LoadBalancingPolicyInherited	Boolean	named		Specifies whether the LoadBalancingPolicy setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.
optional	NotifySwitches	Boolean	named		Specifies whether to notify switches in the case of failover.
optional	NotifySwitchesInherited	Boolean	named		Specifies whether the NotifySwitches setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.
optional	ObsoleteParameterDisableFailback	Boolean	named		This parameter and its alias, Failback, are obsolete and should not be used. They exist for compatibility with earlier PowerCLI versions. Use the EnableFailback parameter instead. Note that passing $false to the obsolete Failback parameter is equivalent to passing $true to the new EnableFailback parameter and the reverse.
optional	StandbyUplinkPort	String[]	named		Specifies the standby uplink ports for the corresponding vSphere distributed switch.
optional	UnusedUplinkPort	String[]	named		Specifies the unused uplink ports for the corresponding vSphere distributed switch.
optional	UplinkPortOrderInherited	Boolean	named		Specifies whether the UplinkPortOrder setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.

Examples

Example 1

$activePortsList = "Port0"
$standbyPortsList = "Port1", "Port2"
Get-VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" | Get-VDPortgroup | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Set-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy -ActiveUplinkPort $activePortsList -StandbyUplinkPort $standbyPortsList

Retrieves all distributed port groups from a vSphere distributed switch named "MyVDSwitch" and updates their teaming policies with information about the active and standby uplinks that will be used when the adapter connectivity is up or down.

Example 2

Get-VDPortgroup "MyVDPortgroup" | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Set-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy -NotifySwitches $true -FailoverDetectionPolicy LinkStatus

Updates the teaming policy of a distributed port group named "MyVDPortgroup" with a link status method for failover detection and with the ability to notify the corresponding distributed switch when any adapter failover occurs.

Example 3

Get-VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" | Get-VDPort "Port2" | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Set-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy -LoadBalancingPolicy LoadBalanceSrcId -FailBack $true

Updates the uplink teaming policy of a distributed port named "Port2" inside the "MyVDSwitch" vSphere distributed switch to enable failback and to choose an uplink based on the current loads of physical NICs.
