vCenter 7.0

[go-gate07]

is there any way where I can configure share values for system traffic under Network IO Control for a specific dVSwitch using powercli in vCenter 7.0?

No, you'll have to use the API method.

The following example sets the share for the management traffic to high.

$vdsName = 'vdSw1'
$type = 'management'

$vds = Get-VDSwitch -Name $vdsName

$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VMwareDVSConfigSpec
$spec.ConfigVersion = $vds.ExtensionData.Config.ConfigVersion
$infra = New-Object VMware.Vim.DvsHostInfrastructureTrafficResource
$infra.Key = $type
$alloc = New-Object VMware.Vim.DvsHostInfrastructureTrafficResourceAllocation
$share = New-Object VMware.Vim.SharesInfo
$share.Level = [VMware.Vim.SharesLevel]::high
$alloc.Shares = $share
$infra.AllocationInfo = $alloc
$spec.InfrastructureTrafficResourceConfig += $infra

$vds.ExtensionData.ReconfigureDvs($spec)

Are those API settings related to the same shares that we set in GUI in vCenter?

Yes

Hello,

Thank you, I ran in in my test environment and it works fine, what if I need to configure custom share and need to specify a share value?

[dgogate07]

Thank you !
I got it.
I added below lines and it worked for me with custom shares

$share.Level = [VMware.Vim.SharesLevel]::custom
$share.Shares = <Share_Value>

Thank you once again for your help !
