Description

The Set-SCVMHostProfile cmdlet modifies the properties of a host profile.

For information about how to create a host profile, type Get-Help New-SCVMHostProfile -Detailed.

Examples

Example 1: Set the time zone value for a specified host profile

PS C:\> Get-SCVMHostProfile -Name "HostProfile01" | Set-SCVMHostProfile -TimeZone 035

This command gets the host profile object named HostProfile01 and sets its time zone value to the U.S. Eastern time zone (035).

Example 2: Add a host network adapter profile to a host profile

PS C:\> $VMHostProfile = Get-SCVMHostProfile -Name "HostProfile01"
PS C:\> $HostNetAdapterProf = Get-SCVMHostNetworkAdapterProfile -ID "259f47c7-c5a9-429d-a421-d232f9b34991"
PS C:\> Set-SCVMHostProfile -VMHostPRofile $VMHostProfile -VMHostNetworkAdapterProfile $HostNetAdapterProf

The first command gets the host profile object named HostProfile01 and stores the object in the $VMHostProfile variable.

The second command gets the host network adapter profile object with the ID of 259f47c7-c5a9-429d-a421-d232f9b34991 and stores the object in the $HostNetAdapterProf variable.

The last command adds the host network adapter profile stored in $HostNetAdapterProf to HostProfile01.
