Creating Virtualization-Clusters

Creates a Virtualization-Cluster object in the current or in the specified context


Examples:


Hint: The execution of these examples requires a connected PowerShell drive.


The command below creates the new Virtualization-Cluster object "XenFarm01" with a DNS-Name of "xenfarm01.solys.local" in the context "Virtual Environments\XenFarms":


New-EmdbVirtualizationCluster "emdb:\rootDSE\Managed Virtual Environments\XenFarms\XenFarm01" -VirtualizationPlatform "Xen" -FullQualifiedName "xenfarm01.solys.local"


Valid values for the parameter VirtualizationPlatform are: Xen.


If you are creating a new Virtualization-Cluster interactively using the wizard in the DSMC, you are prompted for username and password, which are used for Cluster-access. This feature is intentionally not available with the New-EmdbVirtualizationCluster cmdlet. Instead, you'll have to retrieve the object and specify the values for these Variables as described in chapter Setting Variable-values.


WARNUNG: When you are specifying the value of Variable "Password", which is of type "EncryptedString" via the PowerShell Extensions, the password is transmitted unencrypted to the BLS and saved unencrypted in the database. We urgently request you therefore, the set this Variable's value manually in the DMSC.
