Parameters

All

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
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.

HardwareProfile

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a hardware profile object.

VMTemplate

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a VMM template object used to create virtual machines.

VM

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? named 
Specifies a virtual machine object.

Requires a VMM virtual machine object, virtual machine template object, or hardware profile object. You can retrieve these objects by using the Get-SCVirtualMachine, Get-SCVMTemplate, or Get-SCHardwareProfile cmdlets, respectively.

Examples

1: Get virtual DVD drives from a virtual machine. 
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -VM $VM

The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01 and stores the object in the $VM variable.

The second command gets all DVD drive objects on VM01 and displays information about these virtual DVD drives to the user.
2: Get virtual DVD drives from a template. 
PS C:\> $VMTemplate = Get-SCVMTemplate | where { $_.Name -eq "VMTemplate01" }
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -Template $VMTemplate

The first command gets all virtual machine template objects stored in the VMM library, selects the template object named VMTemplate01, and then stores the object in the $Template variable.

The second command gets all virtual DVD drive objects on VMTemplate01 and displays information about these virtual DVD drives to the user.
3: Get virtual DVD drives from a hardware profile. 
PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | where { $_.Name -eq "NewHWProfile01" }
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -HardwareProfile $HWProfile

The first command gets all hardware profile objects in the VMM library, selects the profile object named NewHWProfile01, and then stores the object in the $HWProfile variable.

The second command gets all virtual DVD drive objects on NewHHWProfile01 and displays information about these virtual DVD drives to the user.
