Description
The Set-VMMemory cmdlet configures the memory of a virtual machine.
Examples
Example 1
PS C:\> Set-VMMemory TestVM -DynamicMemoryEnabled $true -MinimumBytes 64MB -StartupBytes 256MB -MaximumBytes 2GB -Priority 80 -Buffer 25
Enables dynamic memory on virtual machine TestVM, sets its minimum, startup, and maximum memory, its memory priority, and its buffer.
Parameters
-Buffer
Specifies the percentage of memory to reserve as a buffer in the virtual machine to be configured. Allowed values range from 5 to 2000.
Parameter properties
| Type: | Int32 |
| Default value: | None |

Parameter sets
-ComputerName
Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which the memory of a virtual machine is to be configured. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String[] |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
