Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Let's look at the ways you can automate and manage your shared .vhdx guest clustering configuration using PowerShell."

A block of code is set as follows:

$Guid = [System.Guid]::NewGuid()
Set-SCCloud -JobGroup $Guid
$HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup -Name "HostGroup02"
New-SCCloud -JobGroup $Guid -Name "Cloud02" -VMHostGroup $HostGroup -Description "This is a cloud for HostGroup02"

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Copy-VMFile "Fileserver_VM1" -SourcePath "D:\Test.txt" -DestinationPath "C:\Temp\Test.txt" -CreateFullPath -FileSource Host

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Next, click on Shrink."
