Set-SCStorageFileServerNode

Specifies, or updates, the out-of-band baseboard management controller (BMC) address for a specific physical machine. This might be an IP address, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), or the DNS prefix (which is usually the same name as the NetBIOS name).

Typically, the BMC address and its connection to the network are separate from the IP address associated with a standard network adapter. Alternatively, some computers do use a standard network adapter to provide a single address for the BMC and for the network adapter. However, the BMC address has a unique port and is thus uniquely identifiable on the network.

• Example IPv4 format: -BMCAddress "10.0.0.21"
• Example Ipv6 format: -BMCAddress "2001:4898:2a:3:657b:9c7a:e1f0:6829"
• Example FQDN format: -BMCAddress "Computer01.Contoso.com"
• Example NetBIOS format: -BMCAddress "Computer01"

Note: By default, VMM uses an IP address or FQDN for the BMCAddress. However, it is also possible to create a Windows PowerShell module that enables you to specify other types of addresses as the BMC address.

Specifies, or updates, a configuration provider object for a baseboard management controller (BMC). A configuration provider is a plug-in to VMM that translates VMM PowerShell commands to API calls that are specific to a type of baseboard management controller. You should use this parameter with the Custom BMCProtocol.

Specifies, or updates, the out-of-band baseboard management controller (BMC) port for a specific physical machine. A BMC port is also known as a service processor port. Example default ports are 623 for IPMI and 443 for SMASH over WS-Man.

Specifies, or updates, the protocol that VMM uses to communicate with the out-of-band baseboard management controller (BMC). Valid values are: IPMI, SMASH, Custom.

A BMC (also known as a service processor or management controller) is a specialized controller on the motherboard of a server that acts an interface between the hardware and system management software. If the motherboard of a physical machine includes a BMC, when the machine is plugged in (whether it is powered off or powered on, and whether or not an operating system is installed), information about system hardware and the state of that system hardware health is available.

Example format: -BMCProtocol "Custom"

Note: The Custom protocol requires that you use the BMCCustomConfigurationProvider parameter.

Specifies the Run As account to use with the baseboard management controller (BMC) device.

Specifies a variable in which job progress is tracked and stored.

Specifies the ID of the Performance and Resource Optimization tip (PRO tip) that triggered this action. This parameter lets you audit PRO tips.

Indicates that the job runs asynchronously so that control returns to the command shell immediately.

Specifies an array of storage file server node objects.
