Description

The New-SCVMHostNetworkAdapterProfile cmdlet creates a network adapter profile.

Note that after you have created a network adapter profile, it cannot be updated. To change a network adapter profile, you must remove the network adapter profile and then re-create it.

Examples

Example 1: Create a generic physical host network adapter profile by using DHCP

PS C:\> New-SCVMHostNetworkAdapterProfile -SetAsPhysicalNetworkAdapter -SetAsGenericNIC -UseDhcpForIPConfiguration -ConsistentDeviceName "Physical host network adapter profile 01"

This command creates a physical host network adapter profile.

The switches used in this command indicate that this is a physical network adapter and that the network adapter is not the management network adapter for the host. Additionally, DHCP is used to obtain an IP address for the network adapter.

Example 2: Create a physical network adapter profile with a logical switch

PS C:\> $LogSwitch = Get-SCLogicalSwitch -Name "LogicalSwitch01"
PS C:\> $UplinkPortProfSet = Get-SCUplinkPortProfileSet -Name "UplinkPortProfileSet01"
PS C:\> New-SCVMHostNetworkAdapterProfile -SetAsPhysicalNetworkAdapter -LogicalSwitch $LogSwitch -UplinkPortProfileSet $UplinkPortProfSet -ConsistentDeviceName "Physical host network adapter profile 02"

The first command gets the logical switch object named LogicalSwitch01 and stores the object in the $LogSwitch variable.

The second command gets the uplink port profile set object named UplinkPortProfileSet01 and stores the object in the $UplinkPortProfSet variable.

The last command creates a physical host network adapter profile using LogicalSwitch01 and UplinkPortProfileSet01.

Example 3: Create a management virtual host network adapter profile by using a static IP address

PS C:\> $TransMgmtNIC = Get-SCVMHostNetworkAdapterProfile -ID "259f47c7-c5a9-429d-a421-d232f9b34991"
PS C:\> $LogSwitch = Get-SCLogicalSwitch -Name "LogicalSwitch01"
PS C:\> $VMNetwork = Get-SCVMNetwork -Name "VMNetwork01"
PS C:\> New-SCVMHostNetworkAdapterProfile -SetAsVirtualNetworkAdapter -SetAsManagementNIC -TransientManagementNetworkAdapter $TransMgmtNIC -UseStaticIPForIPConfiguration -LogicalSwitch $LogSwitch -VMNetwork $VMNetwork

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

The second command gets the logical switch object named LogicalSwitch01 and stores the object in the $LogSwitch variable.

The third command gets the VM network object named VMNetwork01 and stores the object in the $VMNetwork variable.

The last command creates a virtual host network adapter prfile as a management network adapter using LogicalSwitch01 and VMNetwork01.

Parameters

-ConsistentDeviceName

Specifies a consistent device name for a network adapter.

Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter.

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-LogicalNetwork

Specifies a logical network. A logical network is a named grouping of IP subnets and VLANs that is used to organize and simplify network assignments.

Type:	LogicalNetwork

Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-SetAsManagementNIC

Indicates that the network adapter is the management network adapter for the host.

-SetAsVirtualNetworkAdapter

Indicates that the network adapter is a virtual network adapter.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	False

-TransientManagementNetworkAdapter

Specifies the physical network adapter that the management virtual network adapter binds to during the initial operating system deployment phase. This property is used temporarily before the host is deployed.

Type:	PhysicalComputerNetworkAdapterProfile
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-UplinkPortProfileSet

Specifies an uplink port profile set object.
