Description

The New-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet creates a hardware profile for use in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) that stores hardware configuration information. You can create a standalone hardware profile or customize a template or virtual machine to include hardware profile settings. New-SCHardwareProfile stores the new hardware profile object in the VMM library.

You can create a hardware profile based on defaults or an existing hardware profile, or, you can customize a hardware profile as you create it. If you specify no parameters other than Name, which is required, VMM creates a default hardware profile object.

Hardware profile settings that you can configure for a virtual machine include:

Boot order settings in the BIOS that specify the device startup order for a virtual machine. The boot order setting is available only for virtual machines on a Hyper-V host or Citrix XenServer host.
CPU settings for a virtual machine.
Memory available on a virtual machine.
A virtual floppy drive.
Two virtual COM ports (COM1 and COM2).
A built-in virtual IDE device.
One or more virtual SCSI adapters.
One or more virtual network adapters that you can attach to a logical network. A virtual network adapter can be emulated or synthetic.
The priority assigned to a virtual machine for using the host's CPU resources relative to the use of the host's CPU by other virtual machines deployed on the same host. CPU priorities are determined by the virtualization software.
Whether a virtual machine created from this profile will be highly available. A highly available virtual machine is a virtual machine that can only be placed on a host that is part of a host cluster.

Examples

Example 1: Create a default hardware profile

PS C:\> New-SCHardwareProfile -Name "NewHWProfile01"

This command creates a default hardware profile named NewHWProfile01.

Example 2: Create a hardware profile that sets boot order, CPU, and memory

PS C:\> New-SCHardwareProfile -Name "NewHWProfile02" -BootOrder PXEBoot,CD,Floppy,IDEHardDrive -MemoryMB 1024 -CPUCount 4

This command creates a new hardware profile, names it NewHWProfile02, sets PXEBoot as the first entry in the BIOS boot order, specifies 1024 MB of memory, and specifies that a virtual machine created by using this hardware profile will have four processors.

Example 3: Clone and then modify an existing hardware profile

PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | where { $_.Name -eq "NewHWProfile01" }
PS C:\> New-SCHardwareProfile -Name "NewHWProfile03" -HardwareProfile $HWProfile -RelativeWeight 100

The first command gets the hardware profile object named NewHWProfile01 and stores the object in the $HWProfile variable.

The second command creates a hardware profile called NewHWProfile03 based on NewHWProfile01, but modifies the value for relative weight. All other settings in NewHWProfile03 are identical to those in NewHWProfile01.

Example 4: Create a hardware profile that contains a network adapter, a SCSI adapter, and a DVD drive

PS C:\> $JobGroupId = [Guid]::NewGuid().ToString()
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -JobGroup $JobGroupID -PhysicalAddressType Dynamic -VirtualNetwork "Internal Network" 
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualSCSIAdapter -JobGroup $JobGroupID -AdapterID 6 -Shared $False
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualDVDDrive -JobGroup $JobGroupID -Bus 1 -LUN 0
PS C:\> New-SCHardwareProfile -Name "NewHWProfile04" -Owner "Contoso\Katarina" -Description "Temporary Hardware Config used to create a VM/Template" -MemoryMB 512 -JobGroup $JobGroupID

The first command generates a globally unique identifier (GUID) and stores the GUID string in variable $JobGroupID. The job group ID functions as an identifier that groups subsequent commands that include this identifier into a single job group.

The second command creates a virtual network adapter but uses the JobGroup parameter to specify that the network adapter is not created until just before the New-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet in the last command runs. This command sets the physical (MAC) address type to dynamic and specifies that the new virtual network adapter will connect to a virtual network named Internal Network.

The third command creates a virtual SCSI adapter but uses the JobGroup parameter to specify that the SCSI adapter is not created until just before the New-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet in the last command runs. This command sets the adapter ID to 6, and it sets the Shared parameter to $False so that the adapter is not shared (as it would have had to be if you wanted to use the adapter in guest clustering).

The fourth command creates a virtual DVD drive but uses the JobGroup parameter to specify that the DVD drive is not created until just before the New-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet in the last command runs. Specifying Bus 1 and LUN 0 attaches the virtual DVD drive to Secondary Channel (0) on the IDE bus.

The last command creates a hardware profile named NewHWProfile04, sets the owner to Contoso\Katarina, specifies a description, and specifies that the amount of memory on the host that a virtual machine created by using this hardware profile will use is 512 MB. Before the New-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet creates the hardware profile, the JobGroup parameter in this final command executes all of the preceding cmdlets that specify the same JobGroup GUID. When New-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter, New-SCVirtualScsiAdapter, and New-SCVirtualDVDDrive run, the resulting objects that are created are automatically associated with the new hardware profile.

Example 5: Create a hardware profile and add it to a new virtual machine template

PS C:\> $HWProfile = New-SCHardwareProfile -Name "NewHWProfile05" -CPUCount 4 -MemoryMB 64000 -CPUMax 100 -Owner "Contoso\Katarina" -HighlyAvailable $True 
PS C:\> $VHD = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk | where { $_.Name -eq "VHD01.vhd"  -and $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq "LibServer01.Contoso.com" }
PS C:\> $OS = Get-SCOperatingSystem | where {$_.Name -eq "64-bit edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter"}
PS C:\> New-SCVMTemplate -Name "LargeVMTemplate" -HardwareProfile $HWProfile -OperatingSystem $OS -VirtualHardDisk $VHD -NoCustomization

The first command creates a new hardware profile, names it NewHWProfile05, specifies that it contains four processors, and that the highest percentage of the total resources of a single CPU on a host that can be used by a virtual machine is 100 percent, assigns 64 GB of RAM and an owner, sets the HighlyAvailable parameter to $True, and then stores the new hardware profile object in the $HWProfile variable. The HighlyAvailable parameter specifies that a virtual machine created by using this hardware profile, either directly or through a template, will be placed on a host that is a node of a host cluster.

The second command gets the virtual hard disk object named VHD01 from the library and stores the object in the $VHD variable.

The third command gets an operating system object by name and stores the object in the $OS variable.

The last command creates a new virtual machine template, names it LargeVMTemplate, and specifies that it use the operating system, hardware profile, and virtual hard disk retrieved or created in the preceding commands, without any customization to the operating system.
