This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
Notes
- This cmdlet requires a VMM host group object, which you can retrieve by using the Get-SCVMHostGroup cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1: Create a MAC address pool
The first command gets the host group named Production, and then stores it in the $HostGroup variable.
The second command creates a MAC address pool named MAC Address Pool 01 with an address range beginning with 00-1D-D8-B7-1C-00 and ending with 00-1D-D8-F4-1F-FF, as delineated by the MACAddressRangeStart and MACAddressRangeEnd parameters. The command also associates the pool with the host group stored in $HostGroup.
PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup | where { $_.Path -eq "All Hosts\HostGroup02\Production" }
PS C:\> New-SCMACAddressPool -Name "MAC Address Pool 01" -VMHostGroup $HostGroup -MACAddressRangeStart "00-1D-D8-B7-1C-00" -MACAddressRangeEnd "00-1D-D8-F4-1F-FF"
