Get-VMDvdDrive
Gets the DVD drives attached to a virtual machine or snapshot.
Syntax
Parameter Set: VMDriveController
Get-VMDvdDrive [-VMDriveController] <VMDriveController[]> [-ControllerLocation <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Parameter Set: VMName
Get-VMDvdDrive [-VMName] <String[]> [-ComputerName <String[]> ] [-ControllerLocation <Int32> ] [-ControllerNumber <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Parameter Set: VMObject
Get-VMDvdDrive [-VM] <VirtualMachine[]> [-ControllerLocation <Int32> ] [-ControllerNumber <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Parameter Set: VMSnapshot
Get-VMDvdDrive [-VMSnapshot] <VMSnapshot> [-ControllerLocation <Int32> ] [-ControllerNumber <Int32> ] [ <CommonParameters>]
Detailed Description
The Get-VMDvdDrive cmdlet gets the DVD drives attached to a virtual machine or snapshot. This cmdlet has no ControllerType parameter, as the Get-VMHardDiskDrive cmdlet does, because virtual DVD drives can be attached only to the IDE controller.
Parameters
-ComputerName<String[]>
Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts from which the DVD drives are to be retrieved. 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.
