The Set-SCVMHost cmdlet modifies one or more properties of a virtual machine host managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
Settings that you can modify with the Set-SCVMHost cmdlet are summarized as follows:
Availability as a Host for Virtual Machines
You can specify whether a host is currently considered by the VMM placement process as a candidate on which to place virtual machines.
Host Reserve Settings
You can configure the following host reserve settings:
Percentage of CPU usage to set aside for use by the host.
Amount of disk space (MB) to set aside for use by the host.
Maximum number of disk I/O operations per second (IOPS) to set aside for use by the host.
Amount of memory (MB) to set aside for use by the host.
Percentage of network capacity to set aside for use by the host.
The VMM placement process will not recommend placing a virtual machine on a host unless the resource requirements of the virtual machine can be met without using the host reserves.
If you do not specify reserve settings, VMM uses default settings.
Virtual Machine Paths
You can specify, as a set of default paths, locations on a host where virtual machine files can be stored.
Credential for Managing Hosts in a Perimeter Network or Non-Trusted Domain
You can specify the password for an account used to manage Hyper-V hosts that are located in a perimeter network or in a non-trusted domain.
Remote Connection Settings
You can configure remote connection settings for Hyper-V hosts (VMConnect) that enable users to connect to virtual machines remotely.
This setting does not apply to virtual machines on VMware ESX hosts.
The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.
The second command makes VMHost01 available as a host for virtual machines.
Setting the AvailableForPlacement parameter to True enables the VMM placement process to evaluate this host as a possible candidate on which to deploy virtual machines.
Example 2: Enable remote connections on a Hyper-V host
The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.
The second command updates the VMPaths property for the host stored in $VMHost by adding the path D:\VirtualMachinePath to the list of virtual machine paths on that host.
Example 4: Update the resource reserves for a host
The first command gets the host object named XenHost01 and stores the object in the $VMhost variable.
The second gets the certificate object for XenHost01 and stores the object in the $Certificate variable.
The last command uses the certificate supplied in $Cert to enable VMM to communicate with XenHost01 in secure mode.
Parameters
-ApplyLatestCodeIntegrityPolicy
Indicates that this cmdlet causes the host to update its HVCI policy using the file location stored in CodeIntegrityPolicyPath.

-AvailableForPlacement
Indicates whether the VMM placement process will consider this host or this volume on a host to be eligible as a possible location on which to deploy virtual machines.
If this parameter is set to $False, you can choose to deploy virtual machines on this host or volume anyway.
The default value is $True.
This parameter does not apply to VMware ESX hosts.
When you use this parameter with network adapters, if set to $False, then placement does not consider the logical networks configured on this network adapter to determine if the host is suitable for connecting a virtual machine.

-BMCAddress
Specifies, or updates, the out-of-band baseboard management controller (BMC) address for a specific physical machine.
This might be an IP address, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), or the DNS prefix (which is usually the same name as the NetBIOS name).
Typically, the BMC address and its connection to the network are separate from the IP address associated with a standard network adapter.
Alternatively, some computers do use a standard network adapter to provide a single address for the BMC and for the network adapter.
However, the BMC address has a unique port and is thus uniquely identifiable on the network.
Example IPv4 format: -BMCAddress "10.0.0.21"
Example Ipv6 format: -BMCAddress "2001:4898:2a:3:657b:9c7a:e1f0:6829"
Example FQDN format: -BMCAddress "Computer01.Contoso.com"
Example NetBIOS format: -BMCAddress "Computer01"
Note: By default, VMM uses an IP address or FQDN for the BMCAddress.
However, it is also possible to create a Windows PowerShell module that enables you to specify other types of addresses as the BMC address.

A BMC (also known as a service processor or management controller) is a specialized controller on the motherboard of a server that acts an interface between the hardware and system management software.
If the motherboard of a physical machine includes a BMC, when the machine is plugged in (whether it is powered off or powered on, and whether or not an operating system is installed), information about system hardware and the state of that system hardware health is available.
