Detailed Description

The Set-SCVMHostGroup cmdlet changes one or more properties of a host group that contains hosts managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Properties that you can change include settings for name, description, and whether network settings are inherited from parent host groups.

Notes

  • This cmdlet requires a VMM host group object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-SCVMHostGroup cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Change the inherit network settings property for an existing host group

The first command gets the host group named HostGroup01, and then stores it in the $VMHostGroup variable.

The second command changes the value of the inherit network settings to $False for the host group stored in $VMHostGroup.

PS C:\> $VMHostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name "VMHostGroup01"
PS C:\> Set-SCVMHostGroup -VMHostGroup $VMHostGroup -InheritNetworkSettings $False
