[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Set-VMDvdDrive cmdlet configures the controller and location of a virtual DVD drive.
Examples
Example 1
Set-VMDvdDrive -VMName TestVM -Path .\WinBuild.isoConfigures the virtual DVD drive of virtual machine TestVM to use WinBuild.iso as its media.
Example 2
Set-VMDvdDrive -VMName TestVM -ControllerNumber 1 -ControllerLocation 0 -Path $nullConfigures the virtual DVD drive at IDE 1,0 of virtual machine TestVM to use no media. (This ejects any existing media from the virtual DVD drive.)
Example 3
Get-VMDvdDrive -VMName TestVM -ControllerNumber 1 -ControllerLocation 0 | Set-VMDvdDrive -ToControllerLocation 1Moves virtual DVD drive from IDE 1,0 to IDE 1,1 on virtual machine TestVM.
Parameters
