Description

Creates a new NetworkSriov object.
network\_sriov.create: Enable SR-IOV on the specific PIF. It will create a network-sriov based on the specific PIF and automatically create a logical PIF to connect the specific network.
NetworkSriov: Network-sriov which connects logical pif and physical pif.

Parameters

-Async

If set, the operation runs asynchronously and returns a Task object that can be used to track its progress.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-BestEffort

If set, the cmdlet continues processing further objects instead of throwing a terminating error when an operation fails for one object.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-Confirm

Prompts for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-HashTable

A hashtable of field names to values, from which to create the NetworkSriov.
Attribute Value
Type hashtable
Required True
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-Network

Network to connect SR-IOV virtual functions with VM VIFs
Attribute Value
Type XenRef[Network]
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-PIF

PIF on which to enable SR-IOV
Attribute Value
Type XenRef[PIF]
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-PassThru

If set, the cmdlet returns the affected object. By default the cmdlet does not generate any output.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-Record

An existing NetworkSriov record whose fields are used to create the new object.
Attribute Value
Type Network_sriov
Required True
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-SessionOpaqueRef

The session object on which to run the cmdlet. This overrides the default session and lets you target a specific open XenServer connection.
Attribute Value
Type string
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Attribute Value
Type SwitchParameter
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

Examples

Example 1: Create a NetworkSriov

PS> $pif = Get-XenPIF | Select-Object -First 1
PS> $network = Get-XenNetwork | Select-Object -First 1
PS> New-XenNetworkSriov -PIF $pif -Network $network -PassThru
New-XenNetworkSriov takes the arguments of the create call rather than a record of fields, and needs all of them. -PassThru returns the new NetworkSriov.

Example 2: Create a NetworkSriov and wait for the task

PS> $pif = Get-XenPIF | Select-Object -First 1
PS> $network = Get-XenNetwork | Select-Object -First 1
PS> New-XenNetworkSriov -PIF $pif -Network $network -Async -PassThru |
    Wait-XenTask -ShowProgress
-Async hands the work to the server and returns the Task that represents it, which pipes into Wait-XenTask.

Example 3: See what would be created

PS> $pif = Get-XenPIF | Select-Object -First 1
PS> $network = Get-XenNetwork | Select-Object -First 1
PS> New-XenNetworkSriov -PIF $pif -Network $network -WhatIf
Reports what would be created without creating it. Every cmdlet that changes the server takes -WhatIf and -Confirm.
