Description

Use this command to set options for storage locations that are defined for a hosting unit. Do not use this command if the connection for the hosting unit is in maintenance mode.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

The command updates a storage location called “newStorage.storage” associated with the hosting unit called “MyHostingUnit”.

Set-HypHostingUnitStorage -LiteralPath XDHyp:\HostingUnits\MyHostingUnit -StoragePath 'XDHyp:\HostingUnits\MyHostingUnits\newStorage.storage' -Superseded $true

          HostingUnitUid       : bcd3d649-86d1-4aa8-8ec2-d322b6a2c457
          HostingUnitName      : MyHostingUnit
          HypervisorConnection : MyConnection
          RootPath             : /
          RootId               :
          NetworkPath          : /Network 0.network
          NetworkId            : ab47080b-ca15-771a-c8dc-6ad9650158f1
          Storage              : {/Local storage.storage, /newStorage.storage}
          PersonalvDiskStorage : {/newStorage.storage}
          VMTaggingEnabled     : True
          AdditionalStorage    : {TemporaryStorage}
          Metadata             : {}

Parameters

-LiteralPath

Specifies the path to the hosting unit which defines the storage. The path must be in one of the following formats:

<drive>:\HostingUnits\<HostingUnitName>

or <drive>:\HostingUnits{<HostingUnit Uid>}

Type: String
Position: 1
Default value: None
Required: True
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-StoragePath

Specifies the path to the storage that will be modified. The path must be in one of the following formats:

<drive>:\Connections\<ConnectionName>\MyStorage.storage

or <drive>:\Connections{<Connection Uid>}\MyStorage.storage

or <drive>:\HostingUnits\<HostingUnitName>\MyStorage.storage

or <drive>:\HostingUnits{<hostingUnit Uid>}\MyStorage.storage

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

-StorageType

Specifies the type of storage in StoragePath. Supported storage types are:

OSStorage

PersonalvDiskStorage

TemporaryStorage

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

-Superseded

Specifies that this storage has been superseded and must not be used for future provisioning operations. Existing virtual machines using this storage will continue to function.

Type: Boolean
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

CitrixCommonParameters

This cmdlet supports the common Citrix parameters: -AdminAddress, -AdminClientIP, -BearerToken, -TraceParent, -TraceState and -VirtualSiteId. For more information, see about_CitrixCommonParameters.

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.

Inputs

String

You can pipe a string that contains a path to Add-HypHostingUnitStorage (StoragePath parameter).

Outputs

Citrix.XDPowerShell.HostingUnit

Set-HypHostingUnitStorage returns an object containing the new definition of the hosting unit.

HostingUnitUid <Guid>

Specifies the unique identifier for the hosting unit.

HostingUnitName <string>

Specifies the name of the hosting unit.

HypervisorConnection <Citrix.XDPowerShell.HypervisorConnection>

Specifies the connection that the hosting unit uses to access a hypervisor.

RootId <string>

Identifies, to the hypervisor, the root of the hosting unit.

RootPath <string>

The hosting unit provider path that represents the root of the hosting unit.

Storage <Citrix.XDPowerShell.Storage[]>

The list of storage items that the hosting unit can use.

PersonalvDiskStorage <Citrix.XDPowerShell.Storage[]>

The list of storage items that the hosting unit can use for storing personal data.

VMTaggingEnabled <Boolean>

Specifies whether or not the metadata in the hypervisor can be used to store information about the XenDesktop Machine Creation Service.

NetworkId <string>

The hypervisor’s internal identifier that represents the network specified for the hosting unit.

NetworkPath <string>

The hosting unit provider path to the network specified for the hosting unit.

AdditionalStorage

The list of additional storage items that the hosting unit can use.

Metadata <Citrix.XDPowerShell.Metadata[]>

A list of key value pairs that can store additional information about the hosting unit.

Notes

The storage path must be valid for the hosting unit. The rules that are applied are as follows:

XenServer (HypervisorConnection Type = XenServer)

NA

VMWare vSphere/ESX (HypervisorConnection Type = vCenter)

The storage path must be directly contained in the root path item of the hosting unit.

Microsoft SCVMM/Hyper-v (HypervisorConnection Type = SCVMM)

Only one storage entry for these connection types is valid, and it must reference an SMB share. Additionally, if a Hyper-V failover cluster is used the SMB share must be the top-level mount point of the cluster shared volume on one of the servers in the cluster (i.e. C:\ClusterStorage).

In the case of failure, the following errors can be produced.

Error Codes


HostingUnitsPathInvalid

The path provided is not to an item in a subdirectory of a hosting unit item.

HostingUnitStoragePathInvalid

HostingUnitStoragePathInvalid

The storage path cannot be found or is invalid. See notes above about validity.

HostingUnitStorageDuplicateObjectExists

The specified storage path is already part of the hosting unit.

HypervisorInMaintenanceMode

The hypervisor for the connection is in maintenance mode.
