Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies the configuration of the specified vApps in the cloud.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description | Required? | Pipeline Input | Default Value
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
VApp | CIVApp[] | Specifies the vApp that you want to configure. | true | true (ByValue)
Confirm | SwitchParameter | If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false, the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation. | false | false
Description | String | Specifies a description for the vApp you want to configure. | false | false
DiscardSuspendedState | SwitchParameter | Indicates that you want to discard the suspended state of the specified vApp and all its virtual machines. | true | false
InformationAction | ActionPreference |  | false | false
InformationVariable | String |  | false | false
Name | String | Specifies a new name for the vApp you want to configure. | false | false
Owner | CIUser | Specifies a new owner for the vApp you want to configure. | false | false
PipelineVariable | String |  | false | false
RenewLease | SwitchParameter | Indicates that you want to renew the leases of the vApp. Specifying the RenewLease parameter resets the current values of the RuntimeLease and StorageLease parameters. | true | false
RunAsync | SwitchParameter | 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. | false | false
RuntimeLease | TimeSpan | Specifies the maximum running time for the vApp before vCloud Director stops it automatically. If you do not specify this parameter, the current value is reset. To specify that the lease is unlimited, pass $null. | false | false
Server | CIServer[] | Specifies the cloud servers on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-CIServer. | false | false
StorageLease | TimeSpan | Specifies the maximum amount of time for the vApp to remain stopped before vCloud Director automatically marks it as expired, or deletes it, depending on the organization policy. If you do not specify this parameter, the current value is reset. To specify that the lease is unlimited, pass $null. | false | false
WhatIf | SwitchParameter | Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are modified. | false | false

Return Type

Zero or more modified CIVApp objects

Examples

-------------- Example 1 --------------

    $myVApps = Get-CIVApp -Name 'MyVApp*'
    $myVApps | Set-CIVApp -Description 'This is one of my VApps.'

-------------- Example 2 --------------

    Set-CIVApp -VApp 'MyVApp*' -DiscardSuspendedState

Discards the suspended state for all vApps with names starting with MyVapp.

-------------- Example 3 --------------

    $runtimeTimeSpan = New-Object System.Timespan 1,2,3 #one hour, two minutes, three seconds
    Set-CIVApp -VApp 'myVApp*' -RenewLease -RuntimeLease $runtimeTimeSpan

Renews the runtime lease for all vApps with names starting with MyVapp and sets the runtime lease to one hour, two minutes and three seconds.
