# Set-VBRAdvancedLatencyOptions

## Short Description
Modifies latency settings for a specific datastore.

**Product Edition**: Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

## Syntax
```
Set-VBRAdvancedLatencyOptions -Options <VBRAdvancedLatencyOptions> [-LatencyLimitMs <Int32>]
 [-ThrottlingIOLimitMs <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet modifies latency settings for a specific datastore.

::: note

To modify settings, specify new values for the necessary parameters. The cmdlet will overwrite the previous parameter values with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.

`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the `VBRAdvancedLatencyOptions` object that returns datastore latency settings.

## Examples

::: example
### Modifying I/O Latency Limit of New Tasks for Datastore

This example shows how to modify the I/O latency limit of new tasks that are targeted at the VMware datastore from `50 ms` to `100 ms`.

```
$server = Get-VBRServer -Name esx06.tech.local
$datastore = Find-VBRViDatastore -Server $server
$options = Get-VBRAdvancedLatencyOptions -ViDatastore $datastore -LatencyLimitMs 50
Set-VBRAdvancedLatencyOptions -Options $options -LatencyLimitMs 100
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRServer`](get-vbrserver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$server` variable.
2. Run the [`Find-VBRViDatastore`](find-vbrvidatastore.md) cmdlet. Set the `$server` variable as the `Server` parameter value. Save the result to the `$datastore` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRAdvancedLatencyOptions`](get-vbradvancedlatencyoptions.md) cmdlet. Set the `$datastore` variable as the `ViDatastore` parameter value. Specify the `LatencyLimitMs` parameter values. Save the result to the `$options` variable.
4. Run the `Set-VBRAdvancedLatencyOptions` cmdlet. Set the `$options` variable as the `Options` parameter value. Specify the `LatencyLimitMs` parameter value.
