Description

Provides the ability to update the hard disk image used to provision virtual machines. If the provisioning scheme is a ‘CleanOnBoot’ type, then the next time that virtual machines are started, their hard disks are updated to this new image. Regardless of the ‘CleanOnBoot’ type, all new virtual machines created after this command will use this new hard disk image.

A background task will be created to remove the old hard disk copies. You can locate and monitor this task using the Get-ProvTask cmdlet.

A snapshot or VM template is used rather than a VM, so that the content of the hard disk for the provisioning scheme can be easily determined.

As the snapshot or VM template are specified using a path into the Citrix Host Service PowerShell Provider, the Citrix Host Service PowerShell snap-in must also be loaded for this cmdlet to be used.

The previous hard disk image path is stored into the history (see Get-ProvSchemeMasterVMImageHistory). The data stored in the history allows for a rollback to be undertaken, to revert to the previous hard disk image if required.

Examples

Parameters

-ProvisioningSchemeUid

The provisioning uid identifier to which the hard disk image should be updated.

Type:	Guid
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ImageVersionSpecUid

The identifier for the image versipn spec uid used for the provisioning scheme.

Type:	Guid
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False
Introduced in:	Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop 7 2402

-ProvisioningSchemeName

The provisioning scheme to which the hard disk image should be updated.

Type:	String
Position:	2
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-RunAsynchronously

Indicates whether or not the cmdlet should return before it is complete. If specified, the command returns an identifier for the task that was created. You can monitor this task using the Get-ProvTask cmdlet.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-PurgeJobOnSuccess

Indicates that the task history will be removed from the database once the task has finished. This cannot be specified for tasks that are run asynchronously.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-DoNotStoreOldImage

Indicates that the current image should not be added to the image history list for the provisioning scheme. This is useful when rolling back to a previous image.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-LoggingId

Specifies the identifier of the high-level operation this cmdlet call forms a part of. Citrix Studio and Director typically create high-level operations. PowerShell scripts can also wrap a series of cmdlet calls in a high-level operation by way of the Start-LogHighLevelOperation and Stop-LogHighLevelOperation cmdlets.

Type:	Guid
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

CommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -InformationAction, -InformationVariable, -OutVariable, -OutBuffer, -PipelineVariable, -Verbose, -WarningAction, and -WarningVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.
