Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter

Removes a virtual SCSI adapter object from VMM.

Description

The Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter cmdlet removes one or more virtual SCSI adapter objects from a virtual machine, virtual machine template, or hardware profile used in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) environment. 

The Remove-SCVirtualSCSIAdapter cmdlet removes a virtual SCSI adapter successfully only if the adapter does not have any devices attached to it.

A virtual machine on a Citrix XenServer host always has one virtual SCSI adapter. You cannot remove this adapter.

This cmdlet returns the object upon success (with the property MarkedForDeletion set to TRUE) or returns an error message upon failure.

Parameters

VirtualScsiAdapter

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? 0 
Specifies a virtual SCSI adapter object for a virtual machine. 

TYPE OF HOST	NUMBER OF VIRTUAL SCSI ADAPTERS
------------	-------------------------------
Hyper-V		 Up to 4 synthetic virtual SCSI adapters per VM,
	and up to 64 devices per adapter
	Supports a virtual disk drive size up to 2040 GB. 
	Does not support emulated virtual SCSI adapters.
VMware ESX	Up to 4 virtual SCSI adapters per VM, 
	and up to 15 devices per adapter.
	Supports a virtual disk drive size up to 2048 GB.
Citrix XenServer   Always 1 virtual SCSI adapter per VM,
	and up to 8 devices per adapter.
	Supports a virtual disk drive size up to 2048 GB.

JobGroup

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies an identifier for a series of commands that will run as a set just before the final command that includes the same job group identifier runs.

JobVariable

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter.

PROTipID

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies the ID of the PRO tip that triggered this action. This allows for auditing of PRO tips.

RunAsynchronously

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Indicates that the job runs asynchronously so that control returns to the command shell immediately. 

Requires a VMM virtual SCSI adapter object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-VirtualSCSIAdapter cmdlet.

Examples

1: Remove the third virtual SCSI adapter from a virtual machine. 
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> $Adapter = Get-SCVirtualSCSIAdapter -VM $VM 
PS C:\> $Adapter[2] | Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter

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

The second command gets all virtual SCSI adapter objectss on VM01 and stores the objects in the $Adapter object array. A virtual machine can have up to four virtual SCSI adapters attached. This example assumes that VM01 has at least three virtual SCSI adapters.

The last command passes the third virtual SCSI adapter ($Adapter[2]) to Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter, which removes this virtual SCSI adapter from VM01.
