SYNOPSIS

Updates one or more virtual machines in Netbox Virtualization module.

SYNTAX

Single (Default)

Set-NBVirtualMachine -Id <UInt64> [-Name <String>] [-Role <UInt64>] [-Cluster <UInt64>] [-Status <String>] [-Platform <UInt64>] [-Primary_IP4 <UInt64>] [-Primary_IP6 <UInt64>] [-VCPUs <UInt16>] [-Memory <UInt64>] [-Disk <UInt64>] [-Tenant <UInt64>] [-Comments <String>] [-Custom_Fields <Hashtable>] [-Start_On_Boot <String>] [-Force] [-Tags <Object[]>] [-Raw] [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Bulk

DESCRIPTION

Updates existing virtual machines in Netbox Virtualization module. Supports both single VM updates with individual parameters and bulk updates via pipeline input.

For bulk operations, use the -BatchSize parameter to control how many VMs are sent per API request. Each object must have an Id property.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Set-NBVirtualMachine -Id 123 -Status "active"

Updates VM 123 to active status.

EXAMPLE 2

Get-NBVirtualMachine -Status "offline" | ForEach-Object { [PSCustomObject]@{Id = $_.id; Status = "active"} } | Set-NBVirtualMachine -Force

Bulk update all offline VMs to active status.

EXAMPLE 3

$updates = @( [PSCustomObject]@{Id = 100; Status = "active"; Comments = "Migrated"} [PSCustomObject]@{Id = 101; Status = "active"; Comments = "Migrated"} ) $updates | Set-NBVirtualMachine -BatchSize 50 -Force

Bulk update multiple VMs with different values.
