Description

Provides the ability to update the hard disk image used to create 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 to use this cmdlet.

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

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

Updates the master hard disk image for the provisioning Scheme “MyScheme” to use the “base.snapshot” hard disk image.

Publish-ProvMasterVMImage -ProvisioningSchemeName MyScheme -MasterImageVM XDHyp:\HostingUnits\HostUnit1\RhoneCC_baseXP.vm\base.snapshot

EXAMPLE 2

Updates the master hard disk image for the Provisioning Scheme “upgrade fail” using the optional parameter “-KeepPreparationVMOnFailure” to show how to keep the image preparation VM when image preparation fails to assist in troubleshooting the failure. The image preparation VM can be removed on the hypervisor manually or will be removed automatically on the next Publish-ProvMasterVMImage operation for the same provisioning scheme.

$task = Publish-ProvMasterVMImage -MasterImageVM "XDHyp:\HostingUnits\xenres\small.vm\Small.snapshot" -ProvisioningSchemeName "upgrade fail" -KeepPreparationVMOnFailure
