Description

REMOVED. This class has been removed.
Adds values to the collection-valued fields of a VBDMetrics. Each optional parameter listed below corresponds to a field that can be added to.

Parameters

-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
Aliases cf

-OtherConfig

Add the given key-value pair to the other\_config field of the given VBD\_metrics.
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

-Ref

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

-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

-Uuid

The UUID of the VBDMetrics to operate on.
Attribute Value
Type guid
Required True
Position 0
Accepts pipeline input True (ByPropertyName)

-VBDMetrics

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

-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
Aliases wi

Inputs

  • VBD_metrics
  • XenRef[VBD_metrics]
  • guid

Outputs

  • VBD_metrics
  • void

Examples

Example 1: Add to the OtherConfig field

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

Example 2: Add to the OtherConfig field piped from the getter

PS> $entry = [System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair[string,string]]::new("region", "emea")
PS> Get-XenVBDMetrics -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff | Add-XenVBDMetrics -OtherConfig $entry
Adds a value to the OtherConfig field of a VBDMetrics. The parameter takes one entry of the map; a hashtable does not bind to it. The object is piped in, which is the usual way once you already have it.

Example 3: Add to the OtherConfig field by reference

PS> $entry = [System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair[string,string]]::new("region", "emea")
PS> Add-XenVBDMetrics -OtherConfig $entry -Ref OpaqueRef:f433bf7b-2b0c-5f53-7018-7d195addb3ca
Adds a value to the OtherConfig field of a VBDMetrics. The parameter takes one entry of the map; a hashtable does not bind to it. -Ref takes the opaque reference, which is what the API itself uses and what the records hold.
