Examples
-------------- Example 1 --------------
C:\PS>$hypervisor = Get-EmcHostSystem *133
C:\PS>New-EmcFileBasedDisk -Hypervisor $hypervisor -Size 1GB -HostDiskType fIXeD -Path "E:\hyper-V\testESI.vhd"
C:\PS>Remove-EmcFileBasedDisk -Hypervisor $hypervisor -Path "E:\hyper-V\testESI.vhd"
This example deletes a file-based disk from a hypervisor.
------------- Example 2 --------------
C:\PS>$h= Get-EmcHostSystem *99
C:\PS>New-EmcFileBasedDisk -Hypervisor $h -Size 1GB -Path "[datastore1] VM-ESX-WS2K8R2-1/ESIQA.vmdk"
C:\PS>Remove-EmcFileBasedDisk -Hypervisor $h -Path "[datastore1] VM-ESX-WS2K8R2-1/ESIQA.vmdk"
