`<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 `CNutanixHost` object that defines the settings of a Nutanix Files storage system.

## Examples

::: example
### Modifying Port Number of Nutanix Files Storage Systems

This example shows how to modify the port number of Nutanix Files Storage Systems.

```
$host = Get-VBRNutanixHost -Name "Nutanix Files_host"
Set-VBRNutanixHost -Host $host -Port 80
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRNutanixHost`](get-vbrnutanixhost.md) cmdlet to create a credential object. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$host` variable.
2. Run the `Set-VBRNutanixHost` cmdlet. Set the `$host` variable as the `Host` parameter value.Specify the `Port` parameter value.
