[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-NetAdapterVmq cmdlet sets the virtual machine queue (VMQ) properties of a network adapter. VMQ is a scaling networking technology for Hyper-V switch that improves network throughput by distributing processing of network traffic for multiple virtual machines among multiple processors. A thorough familiarity with VMQ and dynamic VMQ is highly recommended before changing any default values with this cmdlet.
Examples
Example 1: Enable VMQ on the specified network adapter
PS C:\> Set-NetAdapterVmq -Name "MyAdapter" -Enabled $TrueThis command enables VMQ on the network adapter named MyAdapter. The Enable-NetAdapterVmq cmdlet is the preferred cmdlet to perform this operation.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job.
Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt.
You can continue to work in the session while the job completes.
To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets.
To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.
For more information about Windows PowerShell® background jobs, see about_Jobs.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-BaseProcessorGroup
Specifies the processor group to be used by VMQ. Support for systems that have more than 64 logical processors is based on the concept of a processor group, which is a static set of up to 64 logical processors. Processor groups are numbered starting with 0. Computers with fewer than 64 logical processors always have a single group, Group 0.
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Aliases: | BaseG |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-BaseProcessorNumber
Specifies the starting processor to be used within the processor group for VMQ. Support for systems that have more than 64 logical processors is based on the concept of a processor group, which is a static set of up to 64 logical processors. Processor groups are numbered starting with 0. Computers with fewer than 64 logical processors always have a single group, Group 0. A logical processor is identified by a group number, using the BaseProcessorGroup parameter, and a group-relative processor number, using this parameter.
| Type: | Byte |
| Aliases: | BaseN |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
| Type: | CimSession[] |
| Aliases: | Session |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Enabled
Indicates whether VMQ is enabled or disabled. The acceptable values for this parameter are: $True or $False.
| Type: | Boolean |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-IncludeHidden
Indicates that the cmdlet includes both visible and hidden network adapters in the operation. By default only visible network adapters are included. If a wildcard character is used in identifying a network adapter and this parameter has been specified, then the wildcard string is matched against both hidden and visible network adapters.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InputObject
Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.
| Type: | CimInstance[] |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InterfaceDescription
Specifies an array of network adapter interface descriptions.
For a physical network adapter this is typically the name of the vendor of the network adapter followed by a part number and description, such as Contoso 12345 Gigabit Network Device.
| Type: | String[] |
| Aliases: | ifDesc, InstanceID |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-MaxProcessorNumber
Specifies the largest processor number in the group.
| Type: | Byte |
| Aliases: | MaxN |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-MaxProcessors
Specifies the maximum number of processors used by VMQ for load balancing network transmissions.
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Aliases: | Max |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Name
Specifies an array of network adapter names.
| Type: | String[] |
| Aliases: | ifAlias, InterfaceAlias |
| Position: | 0 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-NoRestart
Indicates that the cmdlet does not restart the network adapter after completing the operation. Many advanced properties require restarting the network adapter before the new settings take effect.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-NumaNode
Specifies the preferred non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node for the affinity of the VMQs allocated on this network adapter.
| Type: | UInt16 |
| Aliases: | NumaN |
| Position: | Named |

| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
