Description

Allows you to create a new provisioning scheme. The creation process makes a copy of the hard disk attached to a virtual machine snapshot or VM template and stores it in every storage location that the hosting unit referenced by the provisioning scheme defines. This is a long-running task and typically takes several minutes to complete (depending on the size of the hard disk that is being copied and the number of snapshots that the hard disk consists of).

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

Because 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 to use this cmdlet.

This cmdlet requires information to be provided that is retrieved using other snap-ins that form part of the Citrix Machine Creation Services:

Hosting Unit Service Snapin

The snap-in that provides information about the hypervisors.

AD Identity Service Snapin

The snap-in that provides information about the identity pools.

The provisioning scheme is a collection of all of the data that is required to form a template against which virtual machines can be created. It therefore requires the following:

Hosting Unit

A reference to an item defined in the Host Service that defines the hypervisor, the network, and the storage to be used.

Identity Pool

A reference to the collection of Active Directory accounts that is used for VMs created from the provisioning scheme.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Creates a new provisioning scheme with the name “XenPS” using the hosting unit “XenHu” and the identity pool “idPool1” from the master VM snapshot called “Base.snapshot”.

EXAMPLE 2

Creates a new provisioning scheme with the name “AWS1” using the hosting unit “aws-test” and the identity pool “idPool1” from the master VM snapshot called “TemplateAmi”. The machine instance “server-vda” is used as a Machine Profile when creating the provisioning scheme so all other parameters are taken from the instance.

$provScheme = New-ProvScheme -ProvisioningSchemeName AWS1 -HostingUnitName aws-test -IdentityPoolName idPool1 -MasterImageVM "XDHyp:\HostingUnits\aws-test\TemplateAmi (ami-06927522c36bf4109).template" -CleanOnBoot -MachineProfile "XDHyp:\HostingUnits\aws-test\us-east-1a.availabilityzone\server-vda (i-0c136ee2a01a3dd60).vm"

EXAMPLE 3

Creates a new provisioning scheme with the name “AWS2” using the hosting unit “aws-test” and the identity pool “idPool2” from the master VM snapshot called “TemplateAmi”. The version “1” of the launch template with name “machine-profile-lt” and id “lt-06927522c36bg5698” is used as a Machine Profile when creating the provisioning scheme so all other parameters are taken from this launch template version. If instance type value (ServiceOffering) is empty in the machine profile launch template version and no service offering is provided in cmdlet parameter, the cmdlet will return error.

$provScheme = New-ProvScheme -ProvisioningSchemeName AWS2 -HostingUnitName aws-test -IdentityPoolName idPool2 -MasterImageVM "XDHyp:\HostingUnits\aws-test\TemplateAmi (ami-06927522c36bf4109).template" -CleanOnBoot -MachineProfile "XDHyp:\HostingUnits\aws-test\machine-profile-lt (lt-06927522c36bg5698).launchtemplate\lt-06927522c36bg5698 (1).launchtemplateversion"

The requested task could not be started.

DatabaseError

An error occurred in the service while attempting a database operation.

DatabaseNotConfigured

The operation could not be completed because the database for the service is not configured.

for various reasons.

CommunicationError

An error occurred while communicating with the service.

InvalidParameterCombination

Both PurgeJobOnSuccess and RunAsynchronously were specified. When running asynchronously, the cmdlet terminates before the job does, so it cannot clean up the completed job.

PermissionDenied
