-CpuExpandableReservation <Boolean>

Indicates that the CPU reservation can grow beyond the specified value if there are available resources.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CpuLimitMhz <Int64>

Specifies a CPU usage limit in MHz. Utilization will not exceed this limit even if there are available

resources.

Specifies the CPU size in MHz that is guaranteed to be available.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CpuSharesLevel <SharesLevel>

Specifies the CPU allocation level for this vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between

resource consumers. The valid values are Custom, High, Low, and Normal.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Datastore <Datastore>

Specifies the datastore where you want to store the copied vApp. If you do not specify a datastore, the cmdlet

takes the first datastore of the host or cluster.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? true



-DiskStorageFormat <VirtualDiskStorageFormat>

Specifies the storage format of the disks of the vApp.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-InventoryLocation <FolderContainer>

Specifies a datacenter or a virtual machine folder where you want to place the new vApp.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? true



-Location <VIContainer>

Specifies a VApp, ResourcePool, VMHost, or Cluster object where you want to place the new vApp.



Required? true

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters? true



-MemExpandableReservation <Boolean>

If the value is $true, the memory reservation can grow beyond the specified value if there are available

resources.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemLimitGB <Decimal>

Specifies a memory usage limit in gigabytes (GB). If this parameter is set, utilization will not exceed the

specified limit even if there are available resources.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemLimitMB <Int64>

This parameter is obsolete. Use MemLimitGB instead. Specifies a memory usage limit in megabytes (MB). If this

parameter is set, utilization will not exceed the specified limit even if there are available resources.

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemReservationMB <Int64>

This parameter is obsolete. Use MemReservationGB instead. Specifies the guaranteed available memory in

megabytes (MB).



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-MemSharesLevel <SharesLevel>

Specifies the memory allocation level for this vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between

resource consumers. The valid values are Custom, High, Low, and Normal.



Required? false

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Name <String>

Specifies a name for the new vApp.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-NumCpuShares <Int32>

Specifies the CPU allocation level for this vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between

resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless the CpuSharesLevel parameter is set to Custom.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-NumMemShares <Int32>

Specifies the memory allocation level for this vApp. This property is used in relative allocation between

resource consumers. This parameter is ignored unless the MemSharesLevel parameter is set to Custom.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value None

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-RunAsync [<SwitchParameter>]

Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the

output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run "help

Required? false

Position? named

Default value False

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Server <VIServer[]>

Specifies the Center Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this
