Description
The Dismount-VMHostAssignableDevice
cmdlet is used to dismount an assignable device from the
virtual machine host. Use this cmdlet when you need to reassign a device or resolve conflicts
between devices and virtual machines.
Examples
Example 1
Dismount-VMHostAssignableDevice -InstancePath "PCIROOT(0)#PCI(1D02)#PCI(0000)"
This example dismounts the device with the specified instance path from the host, making it available for assignment to a virtual machine.
Parameters
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
Parameter properties
Type: | CimSession[] |
Default value: | None |
Supports wildcards: | False |
DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
(All)
Position: | Named |
Mandatory: | False |
Value from pipeline: | False |
Value from pipeline by property name: | False |
Value from remaining arguments: | False |
-ComputerName
Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts from which the assignable devices are to be dismounted. NetBIOS
names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowed. The default is the local
computer. Use localhost or a dot (.
) to specify the local computer explicitly.

-Force
Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
Using the Force parameter also overrides some security checks in the platform. To learn more, see Dismount the device from the host partition .
If no partitioning driver is provided, during dismount, you must use -Force
to bypass the
security warning. For more information about the security implications, see Plan for deploying devices by using Discrete Device Assignment.
