Get-SCISO

Gets ISO files from the VMM library.

Description

The Get-SCISO cmdlet gets ISO files from the System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) library. ISO files are stored in library shares on library servers. 

In VMM, some typical uses of an ISO file include: 

- Storing an operating system ISO in the library that you can use 
  later to install that operating system on a new or existing virtual 
  machine deployed on a host.

- Storing application software, such as a Microsoft Office ISO, in 
  the library, so that you can install it later on a virtual machine 
  deployed on a host.

Parameters

All

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Retrieves a full list of all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All retrieves all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.

VMMServer

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a VMM server object.

FamilyName

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies a family name for a physical resource in the VMM library. This value is used in conjunction with Release, Namespace, and Type to establish equivalency among library resources.

Release

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies a string that describes the release of a library resource. VMM automatically creates a release value for every resource imported into the library. After the resource has been imported, the string can be customized.

VMMServer

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a VMM server object.

ID

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies the numerical identifier (as a globally unique identifier, or GUID) for a specific object.

VMMServer

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a VMM server object.

Name

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies the name of a VMM object.

VMMServer

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a VMM server object.

Examples

1: Get all ISOs on all VMM library servers. 
PS C:\> Get-SCISO -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com"

This command gets all ISO objects on VMMServer01 and displays information about these ISOs to the user.

The ISO files that the retrieved objects represent are stored in library shares on library servers.
2: Get all ISOs on a specific VMM library server. 
PS C:\> Get-SCISO -VMMServer "VMMServer1.Contoso.com" | where { $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq "LibraryServer01.Contoso.com" }

This command gets all objects that represent ISO files stored on LibraryServer01 and displays information about these ISOs to the user.
3: Get all ISOs with a specific string in the file name on any VMM library server. 
PS C:\> Get-SCISO -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where { $_.Name -match  "OsISO" }

This command gets all ISO objects on any VMM library server managed by VMMServer01 that contain "OsISO" in the file name, and then displays information about these ISO objects to the user. 

NOTE: By default, the name of an ISO object in the library is the same name as the name of the actual ISO file stored in the file system on the library server.
