[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-VMHardDiskDrive cmdlet configures a virtual hard disk.
Examples
Example 1
PS C:\> Set-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName TestVM -Path .\Test.vhdConfigures the hard drive of virtual machine TestVM to use Test.vhd as its media.
Example 2
PS C:\> Get-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName TestVM -ControllerType IDE -ControllerNumber 1 -ControllerLocation 0 | Set-VMHardDiskDrive -ToControllerLocation 1Moves the virtual hard drive on virtual machine TestVM from IDE 1,0 to IDE 1,1.
Parameters
-AllowUnverifiedPaths
Specifies that no error is to be thrown if the specified path is not verified as accessible by the cluster. This parameter is applicable to clustered virtual machines.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ComputerName
Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which the virtual hard drive is to be configured. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully-qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer - use "localhost" or a dot (".") to specify the local computer explicitly.
| Type: | String[] |
| Aliases: | PSComputerName |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | . |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | False |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ControllerLocation
Specifies the number of the location on the controller to which the virtual hard drive to be configured is attached. If not specified, all hard drives are configured.

| Position: | 3 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ControllerNumber
Specifies the number of the controller to which the virtual hard drive to be configured is attached. If not specified, all hard drives are configured.
| Type: | Int32 |
| Position: | 2 |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ControllerType
Specifies the type of the controller to which the virtual hard drive to be configured is attached. Allowed values are Floppy, IDE, and SCSI.
| Type: | ControllerType |
| Accepted values: | IDE, SCSI, Floppy |

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DiskNumber
Specifies the disk number of the offline physical hard drive that should be connected as a passthrough disk.
| Type: | UInt32 |
| Aliases: | Number |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | True |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-MaximumIOPS
Specifies the maximum normalized I/O operations per second (IOPS) for the hard disk. Hyper-V calculates normalized IOPS as the total size of I/O per second divided by 8 KB.

| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-MinimumIOPS
Specifies the minimum normalized I/O operations per second (IOPS) for the hard disk. Hyper-V calculates normalized IOPS as the total size of I/O per second divided by 8 KB.
| Type: | UInt64 |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Passthru
Specifies that a Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.HardDiskDrive object is to be passed through to the pipeline representing the virtual hard drive to be configured.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Path
Specifies the path to media the virtual hard disk is to use.

| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
