Description

The Set-BCCache cmdlet modifies the cache file configuration. Use the Cache parameter to specify which cache this cmdlet configures.

Examples

Example 1: Move a cache file

PS C:\> Set-BCCache -Path "C:\datacache" -MoveTo "D:\datacache"

This command moves the cache file from C:\datacache to D:\datacache.

Example 2: Change the size of a cache file

PS C:\> Get-BCDataCacheExtension | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.MaxCacheSizeAsPercentageOfDiskVolume -Eq 10} | Set-BCCache -Percentage 20

This command increases data cache files from 10 percent to 20 percent of the disk size. The command uses the Get-BCDataCacheExtension cmdlet to get cache extensions, and passes the results to the Where-Object cmdlet by using the pipeline operator. That cmdlet passes on objects that meet its requirement to the current cmdlet. That cmdlet modifies those extensions.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs.

Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Cache

Specifies the cache this cmdlet modifies.

Type:CimInstance[]
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:CimSession[]
Aliases:Session
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Defragment

Indicates that this cmdlet defragments the cache. Fragmented cache files store data less effectively. The BranchCache service detects cache fragmentation and raises an event in the Windows Event Log when it is time to defragment the cache.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-MoveTo

Specifies the new location on disk for this cache file.

Type:String
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Path

Specifies the path of the cache file.

Type:String
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Percentage

Specifies the new size of this cache file. The size is a percentage of the disk.

Type:UInt32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-SizeBytes

Specifies the new size of the cache file.

Type:UInt64
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter

Inputs

None

Outputs

CimInstance[]

The Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure.CimInstance object is a wrapper class that displays Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) objects. The path after the pound sign (#) provides the namespace and class name for the underlying WMI object.
