Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter

Gets VMM virtual network adapter objects from a virtual machine, virtual machine template, or hardware profile. 

Description

The Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter cmdlet gets one or more virtual network adapter objects from a virtual machine object, a virtual machine template object, or a hardware profile object in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) environment.

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, which can be retrieved by using the Get-SCVirtualMachine, Get-SCVMTemplate, or Get-SCHardwareProfile cmdlets, respectively.

Examples

1: Get virtual network adapters from a virtual machine.
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -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 virtual network adapter objects on VM01 and displays information about the adapters to the user.
2: Get virtual network adapters from a virtual machine template.
PS C:\> $VMTemplate = Get-SCVMTemplate | where { $_.Name -eq "VMTemplate01" }
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -Template $VMTemplate
The first command gets all virtual machine template objects from the VMM library, selects the template object named VMTemplate01, and stores the object in the $VMTemplate variable.

The last command gets all virtual network adapter objects VMTemplate01 and displays information about these adapters to the user.
3: Get virtual network adapters from a hardware profile.
PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | where { $_.Name -eq "NewHWProfile01" }
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualNetworkAdapter -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 network adapter objects NewHWProfile01 and displays information about these adapters to the user.
