Description

Adds values to the collection-valued fields of a Pool. Each optional parameter listed below corresponds to a field that can be added to.

Parameters

-Async

If set, the operation runs asynchronously and returns a Task object that can be used to track its progress. Available only for those fields whose underlying operation supports asynchronous invocation.
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

-GuestAgentConfig

Add a key-value pair to the pool-wide guest agent configuration
Attribute Value
Type KeyValuePair[string, string]
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-GuiConfig

Add the given key-value pair to the gui\_config field of the given pool.
Attribute Value
Type KeyValuePair[string, string]
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-HealthCheckConfig

Add the given key-value pair to the health\_check\_config field of the given pool.
Attribute Value
Type KeyValuePair[string, string]
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-LicenseServer

Add the given key-value pair to the license\_server field of the given pool.
Attribute Value
Type KeyValuePair[string, string]
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-OtherConfig

Add the given key-value pair to the other\_config field of the given pool.
Attribute Value
Type KeyValuePair[string, string]
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

-Pool

The Pool object to operate on.
Attribute Value
Type Pool
Required True
Position 0
Accepts pipeline input True (ByValue)

-Ref

The Pool object to operate on, specified by its opaque reference.
Attribute Value
Type XenRef[Pool]
Required True
Position 0
Accepts pipeline input True (ByPropertyName)
Aliases opaque_ref

-Repository

Add a repository to the enabled set
Attribute Value
Type XenRef[Repository]
Required False
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

-Tags

Add the given value to the tags field of the given pool. If the value is already in that Set, then do nothing.
Attribute Value
Type string
Required False
Position Named
Accepts pipeline input False

-Uuid

The UUID of the Pool to operate on.
Attribute Value
Type guid
Required True

Examples

Example 1: Add to the OtherConfig field

PS> $entry = [System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair[string,string]]::new("region", "emea")
PS> Add-XenPool -OtherConfig $entry -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Adds a value to the OtherConfig field of a Pool. The parameter takes one entry of the map; a hashtable does not bind to it.

Example 2: Add to the Tags field

PS> Add-XenPool -Tags "value" -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Adds a value to the Tags field of a Pool.

Example 3: Add to the GuiConfig field

PS> $entry = [System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair[string,string]]::new("region", "emea")
PS> Add-XenPool -GuiConfig $entry -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Adds a value to the GuiConfig field of a Pool. The parameter takes one entry of the map; a hashtable does not bind to it.
