Return Type

VBRViCloudHardwarePlan

Example 1

This example shows how to add the ability to use 2 networks with access to the Internet to a hardware plan named "VMware Gold".

  1. Run Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan to get the hardware plan and save it to the $hardwareplan variable.
  2. Run Set-VBRViCloudHardwarePlan using the $hardwareplan variable.

$hardwareplan = Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -Name "VMware Gold"

Set-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -HardwarePlan $hardwareplan -NumberOfNetWithInternet 2

Example 2

This example shows how to modify the CPU and memory quotas of a hardware plan named "VMware Silver".

  1. Run Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan to get the hardware plan and save it to the $hardwareplan variable.
  2. Run Set-VBRViCloudHardwarePlan using the $hardwareplan variable.

$hardwareplan = Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -Name "VMware Silver"

Set-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -HardwarePlan $hardwareplan -CPU 5000 -Memory 4000

Example 3

This example shows how to add one more cloud storage to a hardware plan named "VMware Silver".

  1. Pre-configure the new cloud storage. For details, see New-VBRViCloudHWPlanDatastore. Save the storage to the $newcloudstorage variable.
  2. Run Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan to get the hardware plan and save it to the $hardwareplan variable.
  3. Get the array of cloud storage objects that are currently used in the hardware plan. Save the array to the $cloudstorage variable.
  4. Add a new cloud storage object to the array.
  5. Run Set-VBRViCloudHardwarePlan using the $hardwareplan variable and the updated array of cloud storage objects.

$hardwareplan = Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -Name "VMware Silver"

$cloudstorage = $hardwareplan.Datastore

$cloudstorage += $newcloudstorage

Set-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -HardwarePlan $hardwareplan -Datastore $cloudstorage
