Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter
Applies To: System Center 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager
Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter
Removes a virtual SCSI adapter object from VMM.
Syntax
Parameter Set: Default
Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter [-VirtualScsiAdapter] <VirtualSCSIAdapter> [-JobGroup <Guid> ] [-JobVariable <String> ] [-PROTipID <Guid> ] [-RunAsynchronously] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter cmdlet removes one or more virtual SCSI adapter objects from a virtual machine, virtual machine template, or hardware profile used in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) environment.
The Remove-SCVirtualSCSIAdapter cmdlet removes a virtual SCSI adapter successfully only if the adapter does not have any devices attached to it.
A virtual machine on a Citrix XenServer host always has one virtual SCSI adapter. You cannot remove this adapter.
This cmdlet returns the object upon success (with the property MarkedForDeletion set to TRUE) or returns an error message upon failure.

<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.
Notes
- Requires a VMM virtual SCSI adapter object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-VirtualSCSIAdapter cmdlet.
Examples
1: Remove the third virtual SCSI adapter from 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 objectss on VM01 and stores the objects in the $Adapter object array. A virtual machine can have up to four virtual SCSI adapters attached. This example assumes that VM01 has at least three virtual SCSI adapters.
The last command passes the third virtual SCSI adapter ($Adapter[2]) to Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter, which removes this virtual SCSI adapter from VM01.
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> $Adapter = Get-SCVirtualSCSIAdapter -VM $VM
PS C:\> $Adapter[2] | Remove-SCVirtualScsiAdapter
