[<CommonParameters>]Description
The Set-VMHost cmdlet configures a Hyper-V host.
Examples
Example 1
PS C:\>Set-VMHost -MaximumVirtualMachineMigrations 10 -MaximumStorageMigrations 10This example configures the local Hyper-V host to allow 10 simultaneous live migrations and storage migrations.
Example 2
PS C:\>Set-VMHost -MacAddressMinimum 00155D020600 -MacAddressMaximum 00155D0206FFThis example configures a range of MAC addresses range for the local Hyper-V host.
Example 3
PS C:\>Set-VMHost -UseAnyNetworkForMigration $trueThis example enables the use of any network for incoming live migrations on the local Hyper-V host.
Example 4
PS C:\> Set-VMHost -VirtualHardDiskPath "C:\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks" -VirtualMachinePath "C:\Hyper-V"This example specifies new default locations for virtual hard disks and virtual machines on the local Hyper-V host. In this case:
- Virtual machines are stored in "C:\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines" (not "C:\Hyper-V")
- Virtual hard disks are stored in "C:\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks"
Example 5
PS C:\>Set-VMHost -FibreChannelWwnn C003FF0000FFFF00 -FibreChannelWwpnMinimum C003FF661D200000 -FibreChannelWwpnMaximum C003FF661D200000This example configures Fibre Channel host settings on the local Hyper-V host.
Example 6
PS C:\>Set-VMHost -NumaSpanningEnabled $falseThis example disables NUMA spanning on the local Hyper-V host.
Example 7
PS C:\>Set-VMHost -ResourceMeteringSaveInterval 01:30:00This example configures the local Hyper-V host to save data that tracks resource consumption every hour and a half.
Example 8
PS C:\>Set-VMHost -VirtualMachineMigrationAuthenticationType KerberosThe example configures the local Hyper-V host to use Kerberos to authenticate incoming live migrations.

| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-MacAddressMinimum

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-MaximumVirtualMachineMigrations

You also can use a Timespan object to specify the interval.
| Type: | TimeSpan |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |

-UseAnyNetworkForMigration
Specifies how networks are selected for incoming live migration traffic. If set to $TRUE, any available network on the host can be used for this traffic.

The Get-VMMigrationNetwork returns the list of networks that can be used for migration traffic.

-VirtualHardDiskPath
Specifies the default folder to store virtual hard disks on the Hyper-V host. This is not a functional setting. The Hyper-V Manager snap-in and Windows Admin Center query it to offer you a default path, but the Hyper-V API (for example CreateFixedVirtualHardDisk) and New-VHD don't use it.

- None. Perform standard live migration.
| Type: | VMMigrationPerformance |
| Accepted values: | TCPIP, Compression, SMB |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-VirtualMachinePath
Specifies the default folder to store virtual machine configuration files on the Hyper-V host. This is a functional setting, meaning that if you do not supply a path to VM creation tools (for example New-VM), Hyper-V will use this path. Hyper-V will create at least one subfolder in this path, called "Virtual Machines".
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
