Set-PvsOverrideVersion

Specify a Disk Version all Production Devices will boot from.
This is required
Name Type Description
Guid or DiskLocatorId Guid[] GUID of the Disk Locator File to Override the Production Version for.
or this is required & resolution
Name Type Description

Optional
Name Type Description
Version uint
One of these resolutions when needed
Name Type Description
SiteId Guid[]
SiteName string[]
One of these resolutions when needed
Name Type Description
StoreId Guid[]
StoreName string[]
Instead of a parameter that matches one of the members listed
PvsObject Object: PvsObjects with the members below can be used as the Object parameter or from a pipeline:       DiskLocatorId
Optional SwitchParameter Confirm: The impact of this operation is "low". If -Confirm is specified, the operation will be confirmed. $ConfirmPreference can be set to "low" to have confirmation without the Confirm parameter.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1: Set-PvsOverrideVersion for Name with Version

Set-PvsOverrideVersion -Name theDiskLocator -SiteName theSite -StoreName theStore -Version 4
Guid can be used instead of Name so that the SiteName or SiteId and StoreName or StoreId are not also needed.

Set-PvsXDSite $o
The -Fields parameter with only the needed fields specified makes the Get work faster because only those fields are retrieved.

EXAMPLE 2: Set PvsXDSite for a Field Using Pipe

Get the PvsXDSite into a $o variable. Change a $o field to the correct value and then Set the PvsXDSite with the result.
Get-PvsXDSite -Guid "27965b92-7034-408c-9910-cfff53f1feec" -Fields ConfigServices | foreach { $o = $_; $o.ConfigServices = "192.168.0.190", "192.168.0.191"; $o } | Set-PvsXDSite
The -Fields parameter with only the needed fields specified makes the Get work faster because only those fields are retrieved. The "foreach { $o = $_; $o.X = Y; $o }" sets the field X to value Y and returns the object again so it can be piped to the Set command for update.
