Description

The Debug-VM cmdlet debugs a virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> debug-vm "VM to Debug" -InjectNonMaskableInterrupt -Force

This example injects a non-maskable interrupt into the virtual machine named "VM to Debug". A kernel debugger should be connected to the guest operating system before attempting to do this.

Parameters

-AsJob

ps_cimcommon_asjob

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ComputerName

Specifies an array of Hyper-V hosts. The cmdlet debugs the virtual machines on the hosts you specify.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	.
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	cf
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-InjectNonMaskableInterrupt

Indicates that the cmdlet sends a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) to the virtual machine. An interrupt handler must process a nonmaskable interrupt.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Name

Specifies an array of names of virtual machines to be debugged.

Type:	String[]
Aliases:	VMName
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Passthru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-VM

Specifies an array of virtual machine objects that are to be debugged. To obtain virtual machine objects, use the Get-VM cmdlet.

Type:	VirtualMachine[]
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	wi
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
