Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter

Applies To: System Center 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager

Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter

Gets a VMM virtual SCSI adapter object from a virtual machine, virtual machine template, or hardware profile.

Syntax

Parameter Set: All
Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter -All [-VMMServer <ServerConnection> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: HardwareProfile
Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter -HardwareProfile <HardwareProfile> [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: Template
Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter -VMTemplate <Template> [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: VM
Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter -VM <VM> [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

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

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

Parameters

-All

Retrieves a full list of all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All retrieves all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters.

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

  • VirtualSCSIAdapter

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.

Examples

1: Get all virtual SCSI adapters on a virtual machine.

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 objects on VM01 and displays information about the adapters to the user.

PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter -VM $VM

2: Get all virtual SCSI adapters in a virtual machine template.

The first command gets the virtual machine template object named VMTemplate01 from the VMM library and stores the object in the $VMTemplate variable.

The second command gets all virtual SCSI adapter objects on VMTemplate01 and displays information about the adapters to the user.

PS C:\> $VMTemplate = Get-SCVMTemplate | where { $_.Name -eq "VMTemplate01" }
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter -VMTemplate $VMTemplate

3: Get all virtual SCSI adapters from a hardware profile.

The first command gets the hardware profile object named NewHWProfile01 from the VMM library and stores the object in the $HWProfile variable.

The second command gets all SCSI adapter objects on NewHWProfile01 and displays information about the adapters to the user.

PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | where { $_.Name -eq "NewHWProfile01" }
PS C:\> Get-SCVirtualScsiAdapter -HardwareProfile $HWProfile
