Detailed Description

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Required?	Pipeline Input	Default Value
Policy	UplinkTeamingPolicy[]	Specifies the uplink teaming policy that you want to configure.	true	True (ByValue)
ActiveUplinkPort	String[]	Specifies the active uplink ports used for load balancing for a corresponding vSphere distributed switch.	false	False
Confirm	SwitchParameter	If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false, the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.	false	False
EnableFailback	Boolean	Specifies whether to use failback when restoring links. If, for example, the explicit link order is (vmnic9, vmnic0), and vmnic9 goes down, vmnic0 is activated. However, when vmnic9 comes back up, if EnableFailback is set to $true, vmnic9 is restored as specified in the explicit order. If EnableFailback is set to $false, vmnic0 continues to be used and vmnic9 remains on standby. This parameter replaces the obsolete ObsoleteParameterDisableFailback parameter, which is an alias fort the Failback parameter. Note that passing $false to the obsolete Failback parameter is equivalent to passing $true to the new EnableFailback parameter and the reverse.	false	False
FailbackInherited	Boolean	Specifies whether the Failback setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.	false	False
FailoverDetectionPolicy	NetworkFailoverDetectionPolicy	Specifies the method to use for failover detection for the corresponding distributed port, port group, or switch. The value can be LinkStatus or BeaconProbing.	false	False
FailoverDetectionPolicyInherited	Boolean	Specifies whether the FailoverDetectionPolicy setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.	false	False
LoadBalancingPolicy	LoadBalancingPolicy	Specifies the load balancing policy for the corresponding distributed port, port group, or switch. The value can be LoadBalanceIP, LoadBalanceLoadBased, LoadBalanceSrcMac, LoadBalanceSrcId, or ExplicitFailover.	false	False
LoadBalancingPolicyInherited	Boolean	Specifies whether the LoadBalancingPolicy setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.	false	False
NotifySwitches	Boolean	Specifies whether to notify switches in the case of failover.	false	False
NotifySwitchesInherited	Boolean	Specifies whether the NotifySwitches setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.	false	False
ObsoleteParameterDisableFailback	Boolean	This parameter and its alias, Failback, are obsolete and should not be used. They exist for compatibility with earlier PowerCLI versions. Use the EnableFailback parameter instead. Note that passing $false to the obsolete Failback parameter is equivalent to passing $true to the new EnableFailback parameter and the reverse.	false	False
StandbyUplinkPort	String[]	Specifies the standby uplink ports for the corresponding vSphere distributed switch.	false	False
UnusedUplinkPort	String[]	Specifies the unused uplink ports for the corresponding vSphere distributed switch.	false	False
UplinkPortOrderInherited	Boolean	Specifies whether the UplinkPortOrder setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.	false	False
WhatIf	SwitchParameter	Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are modified.	false	False

true

True (ByValue)

ActiveUplinkPort

String[]

Specifies the active uplink ports used for load balancing for a corresponding vSphere distributed switch.

false

Confirm

SwitchParameter

If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false, the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.

false

False

EnableFailback

Boolean

Specifies whether to use failback when restoring links. If, for example, the explicit link order is (vmnic9, vmnic0), and vmnic9 goes down, vmnic0 is activated. However, when vmnic9 comes back up, if EnableFailback is set to $true, vmnic9 is restored as specified in the explicit order. If EnableFailback is set to $false, vmnic0 continues to be used and vmnic9 remains on standby.

This parameter replaces the obsolete ObsoleteParameterDisableFailback parameter, which is an alias fort the Failback parameter. Note that passing $false to the obsolete Failback parameter is equivalent to passing $true to the new EnableFailback parameter and the reverse.

Boolean

Specifies whether the FailoverDetectionPolicy setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.

false

False

LoadBalancingPolicyInherited

Boolean

Specifies whether the LoadBalancingPolicy setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch.

false

False

ObsoleteParameterDisableFailback

Boolean

This parameter and its alias, Failback, are obsolete and should not be used. They exist for compatibility with earlier PowerCLI versions. Use the EnableFailback parameter instead. Note that passing $false to the obsolete Failback parameter is equivalent to passing $true to the new EnableFailback parameter and the reverse.

false

False

StandbyUplinkPort

String[]

Specifies the standby uplink ports for the corresponding vSphere distributed switch.

false

False

UnusedUplinkPort

String[]

Specifies the unused uplink ports for the corresponding vSphere distributed switch.

false

False

Notes

Examples

-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------

$activePortsList = "Port0"
$standbyPortsList = "Port1", "Port2"
Get-VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" | Get-VDPortgroup | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Set-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy -ActiveUplinkPort $activePortsList -StandbyUplinkPort $standbyPortsList

Retrieves all distributed port groups from a vSphere distributed switch named "MyVDSwitch" and updates their teaming policies with information about the active and standby uplinks that will be used when the adapter connectivity is up or down.

-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------

Get-VDPortgroup "MyVDPortgroup" | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Set-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy -NotifySwitches $true -FailoverDetectionPolicy LinkStatus

Updates the teaming policy of a distributed port group named "MyVDPortgroup" with a link status method for failover detection and with the ability to notify the corresponding distributed switch when any adapter failover occurs.

-------------------------- Example 3 --------------------------

Get-VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" | Get-VDPort "Port2" | Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy | Set-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy -LoadBalancingPolicy LoadBalanceSrcId -FailBack $true

Updates the uplink teaming policy of a distributed port named "Port2" inside the "MyVDSwitch" vSphere distributed switch to enable failback and to choose an uplink based on the current loads of physical NICs.
