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 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) environment.

Examples

Example 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.

Example 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.

Example 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.

Parameters

-All

Indicates that this cmdlet gets all subordinate objects independent of the parent object.

For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All gets all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.

VirtualNetworkAdapter

This cmdlet returns a VirtualNetworkAdapter object.

Notes

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.
