Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies the specified vApp.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description | Required? | Pipeline Input | Default Value
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
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 there are available 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 vApp. 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 there are available 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MemLimitMB | Int64 | This parameter is obsolete.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MemReservationMB | Int64 | This parameter is obsolete.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 vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. This cmdlet accepts Custom, High, Low, and Normal values. | false | false
Name | String | Modifies the name of the vApp. | false | false
NumCpuShares | Int32 | Specifies the CPU allocation level for the vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless the CpuSharesLevel parameter 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 the MemSharesLevel parameter 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
VApp | VApp[] | Specifies the vApp that you want to configure. | true | true (ByValue)
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 VApp objects

Notes

Examples

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

    Get-VApp -Name MyTestVApp1 | Set-VApp -CpuSharesLevel Low -MemSharesLevel Normal

Modifies the CpuSharesLevel and MemSharesLevel properties of the MyTestVApp1 virtual appliance.

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

    $myvApp = Get-VApp -Location MyDatacenter1
    Set-VApp -VApp $myvApp -CpuExpandableReservation:$true -CpuLimitMhz 4000 -MemExpandableReservation:$true -MemLimitGB 2

Modifies the properties of the vApps available on the MyDatacenter1 datacenter.
