New-VMGroup |
Creates a virtual machine group.
With Hyper-V, there are two types of VMGroups: a VMCollectionType and a ManagementCollectionType. A VMCollectionType VMGroup contains VMs while the ManagementCollectionType VMGroup contains VMCollectionType VMGroups. For example, you could have two VMCollectionType VMGroups VMG1 (containing VMs VM1 and VM2) and a second VMG2 (containing VMs VM3 and VM4). You could then create a ManagementCollectionType VMGroup VM-All containing the two VMCollectionType VMGroups. You use the Add-VMGroupMember cmdlet to add VMs to VMCollectionType VMGroups and to add VMCollectionType groups to ManagementCollectionType VMGroups.
