New-SCLoadBalancerTemplate

Creates a load balancer template that can be added to a service template.

Description

The New-SCLoadBalancerTemplate creates a load balancer template that you can add to a service template. When you deploy a service instance based on the service template, System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) will locate an appropriate load balancer in your VMM environment during placement, and configure it based on the properties provided in the load balancer template.

Parameters

ComputerTierTemplate

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies a computer tier template object.

JobVariable

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter.

LoadBalancerVIPTemplate

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies a load balancer virtual IP (VIP) template.

LogicalNetworkVIP

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies the logical networks from which the front-end IP address for the load balancer should be assigned (the front-end logical network affinity).

PROTipID

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies the ID of the PRO tip that triggered this action. This allows for auditing of PRO tips.

RunAsynchronously

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Indicates that the job runs asynchronously so that control returns to the command shell immediately.

VirtualNetworkAdapter

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies a virtual network adapter object for a virtual machine. 

TYPE OF HOST	NUMBER OF VIRTUAL NETWORK ADAPTERS
------------	----------------------------------
Hyper-V		 Up to 4 emulated adapters per virtual machine.
Up to 8 synthetic adapters per virtual machine.
(Exception: no driver available for an emulated 
network adapter on a Windows Server 2003 x64 guest.)
VMware ESX		Up to 4 emulated adapters per virtual machine.
Citrix XenServer  Up to 7 emulated adapters per virtual machine.

Examples

1: Create a load balancer template. 
PS C:\> $ServiceTemplate = Get-SCServiceTemplate -Name "ServiceTemplate01"
PS C:\> $TierTemplate = Get-SCComputerTierTemplate -ServiceTemplate $ServiceTemplate
PS C:\> $LBVIPTemplate = Get-SCLoadBalancerVIPTemplate -Manufacturer "LB Manufacturer" -Model "LB01"
PS C:\> $VMTemplate = Get-SCVMTemplate -ComputerTierTemplate $TierTemplate
PS C:\> $Adapter = Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -VMTemplate $VMTemplate
PS C:\> $LBTemplate = New-SCLoadBalancerTemplate -ComputerTierTemplate $TierTemplate -LoadBalancerVIPTemplate $LBVIPTemplate -VirtualNetworkAdapter $Adapter
PS C:\> $LBTemplate

The first command gets the service template object named ServiceTemplate01 and stores the object in the $ServiceTemplate variable.

The second command gets the computer tier template for the service template stored in $ServiceTemplate (in this case, ServiceTemplate01) and stores the object in the $TierTemplate variable.

The third command gets the load balancer VIP template with the manufacturer of LB Manufacturer and model LB01, and stores the template in the $LBVIPTemplate variable.

The fourth command gets the virtual machine template for the computer tier template stored in $TierTemplate.

The fifth command gets the virtual network adapter for the virtual machine template stored in $VMTemplate.

The sixth command creates a load balancer template using the computer tier template, load balancer template, and virtual network adapter objects obtained in the previous commands, and stores the object in the $LBTemplate variable.

The last command displays information about the load balancer template to the user.
