Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies the properties of the specified resource pool.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description | Required? | Pipeline Input | Default Value
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
ResourcePool | ResourcePool[] | Specifies the resource pool 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
CpuExpandableReservation | Boolean | Indicates that the CPU reservation can grow beyond the specified value if the parent resource pool has unreserved resources. | false | false
CpuLimitMhz | Int64 | Specifies a CPU usage limit in MHz. If this parameter is set, utilization will not exceed this limit even if there are available resources. | false | false
CpuReservationMhz | Int64 | Specifies the guaranteed available CPU in MHz. | false | false
CpuSharesLevel | SharesLevel | Specifies the CPU allocation level for this pool. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. This parameter accepts Custom, High, Low, and Normal values. | false | false
MemExpandableReservation | Boolean | Indicates that the memory reservation can grow beyond the specified value if the parent resource pool has unreserved resources. | false | false
MemLimitGB | Decimal | 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. | false | false
MemLimitMB | Int64 | This parameter is obsolete.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. | false | false
MemReservationGB | Decimal | Specifies the guaranteed available memory in gigabytes (GB). | false | false
MemReservationMB | Int64 | This parameter is obsolete. Use MemReservationGB instead. Specifies the guaranteed available memory in megabytes (MB). | false | false
MemSharesLevel | SharesLevel | Specifies the memory allocation level for the resource pool. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. This parameter accepts Custom, High, Low, and Normal values. | false | false
Name | String | Specifies a new name for the resource pool. | false | false
NumCpuShares | Int32 | Specifies the CPU allocation level for the resource pool. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless CpuSharesLevel is set to Custom. | false | false
NumMemShares | Int32 | Specifies the memory allocation level for the resource pool. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless MemSharesLevel is set to Custom. | false | false
Server | VIServer[] | Specifies the vCenter Server systems 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-VIServer. | 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 ResourcePool objects

Notes

Examples

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

    Set-ResourcePool -Resourcepool Resourcepool -NumCpuShares  512 -MemLimitGB 4
