Description

The New-SCCloud cmdlet creates a private cloud in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). A private cloud is a cloud that is provisioned and managed on-premise by an organization. The private cloud is deployed using an organization's own hardware to leverage the advantages of the private cloud model. Through VMM, an organization can manage the private cloud definition, access to the private cloud, and the underlying physical resources.

You can create a private cloud from the following resources:

• Host groups that contain resources from Hyper-V hosts, Citrix XenServer hosts, and VMware ESX hosts
• A VMware resource pool

For more information about private clouds, see "Creating a Private Cloud Overview" in the TechNet library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=212407. For information about private cloud capacity, type: Get-Help Set-SCCloudCapacity -Detailed.

Examples

Example 1: Create a private cloud from a host group

PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name "HostGroup01"
PS C:\> New-SCCloud -Name "Cloud01" -VMHostGroup $HostGroup

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

The second command creates a private cloud named Cloud01 from the host group stored in the $HostGroup variable.

Example 2: Create a private cloud using a job group

PS C:\> $Guid = [System.Guid]::NewGuid()
PS C:\> Set-SCCloud -JobGroup $Guid
PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name "HostGroup02"
PS C:\> New-SCCloud -JobGroup $Guid -Name "Cloud02" -VMHostGroup $HostGroup -Description "This is a cloud for HostGorup02"

The first command creates a new GUID and stores it in the $Guid variable.

The second command creates a job group using the GUID stored in $Guid.

The third command gets the host group object named HostGroup02 and stores the object in the $HostGroup variable.

The last command creates a private cloud named Cloud02, using the job group created in the second command and HostGroup02 for its resources.

Example 3: Create a private cloud from multiple host groups

PS C:\> $HostGroups = @()
PS C:\> $HostGroups += Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name "Seattle"
PS C:\> $HostGroups += Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name "New York"
PS C:\> New-SCCloud -VMHostGroup $HostGroups -Name "Cloud03" -Description "Cloud for the Seattle and New York host groups"

The first command creates an object array named $HostGroups.

The second and third commands populate the object array with the host groups named Seattle and New York.

The last command creates a private cloud named Cloud03 using the host groups stored in the $HostGroups array as its resources.
