Set-WAPackVMRole

  • Reference
Module:
Azure

Changes the instance count property of a virtual machine role.

Note

The cmdlets referenced in this documentation are for managing legacy Azure resources that use Azure Service Manager (ASM) APIs. This legacy PowerShell module isn't recommended when creating new resources since ASM is scheduled for retirement. For more information, see Azure Service Manager retirement.

The Az PowerShell module is the recommended PowerShell module for managing Azure Resource Manager (ARM) resources with PowerShell.

Syntax

Set-WAPackVMRole
   -VMRole <VMRole>
   -InstanceCount <Int32>
   [-PassThru]
   [-Profile <AzureSMProfile>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

These topics are deprecated and will be removed in the future. This topic describes the cmdlet in the 0.8.1 version of the Microsoft Azure PowerShell module. To find out the version of the module you're using, from the Azure PowerShell console, type (Get-Module -Name Azure).Version.

The Set-WAPackVMRole cmdlet changes the instance count property of a virtual machine role.

Examples

Example 1: Specify the instance count for a virtual machine role

PS C:\> $VMRole = Get-WAPackVMRole -Name "ContosoVMRole01"
PS C:\> Set-WAPackVMRole -VMRole $VMRole -InstanceCount 3

The first command gets the virtual machine role named ContosoVMRole01 by using the Get-WAPackVMRole cmdlet, and then stores that object in the $VMRole variable.

The second and final command sets the new instance count of the virtual machine role stored in $VMRole to 3.
