Description

The Set-SCVirtualDVDDrive cmdlet changes one or more properties of a virtual DVD drive object associated with a virtual machine, virtual machine template, or hardware profile used in a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) environment.

You can use this cmdlet to connect a virtual DVD drive to a physical DVD drive on a virtual machine host server, to a different location on the IDE bus, or to an ISO image, or you can use it to disconnect the virtual DVD drive.

Most settings that you can configure for a virtual DVD drive on a virtual machine are the same regardless of whether the virtualization platform of the host is Hyper-V, VMware, or Citrix XenServer. All of these virtualization platforms support the following:

  • Connecting a virtual DVD drive to a primary or secondary channel on a host.

  • Capturing information from a physical CD or DVD drive on the host without specifying a drive letter.

  • Capturing information from an image (ISO) file stored in the VMM library.

  • Capturing "no media" (used to disconnect a virtual DVD drive from the host drive or from an ISO file).

The only setting that varies for this cmdlet by virtualization platform is whether an ISO file can be used directly from the VMM library:

  • Hyper-V host. If you configure a connection to an ISO file in the VMM library, you can choose to use the ISO directly from the library instead of copying it to the host.

  • VMware ESX host. If you configure a connection to an ISO file in the VMM library, you cannot use the ISO directly from the library but must instead accept the default, which copies the ISO file to the host.

  • Citrix XenServer host. If you configure a connection to an ISO file in the VMM library, you cannot use the ISO directly from the library but must instead accept the default, which copies the ISO file to the host. The host must have at least one ISO repository available with write access and enough storage space to contain the ISO file.

Note: If the virtual DVD drive is configured on a virtual machine that was created by using the Virtual Machine wizard in the Hyper-V Manager Console rather than in the VMM console, you must specify a drive letter. That drive letter will appear in the Properties for that virtual machine in the VMM console.

Examples

Example 1: Connect a virtual DVD drive to a physical DVD drive

PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> $DVDDrive = Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -VM $VM | where { $_.Bus -eq 1 -and $_.LUN -eq 0 }
PS C:\> Set-SCVirtualDVDDrive -VirtualDVDDrive $DVDDrive -VMHostDrive "E:"

The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01 and stores the object in the $VM variable.

The second command gets the virtual DVD drive object that is located on Secondary Channel 0 (specified by -Bus 1 and -LUN 0) on the IDE bus on VM01 and stores the object in the $DVDDrive variable.

The last command connects the virtual DVD drive object stored in $DVDDrive to a physical drive on the host (the D: drive). It also deletes any ISO file that the virtual DVD drive used earlier if no other virtual machine currently uses that ISO file.

Example 2: Connect a virtual DVD drive to a different location on the IDE bus

PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM02"
PS C:\> $DVDDrive = Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -VM $VM | where { $_.Bus -eq 1 -and $_.LUN -eq 0 }
PS C:\> Set-SCVirtualDVDDrive -VirtualDVDDrive $DVDDrive -Bus 1 -LUN 1

The command gets the virtual machine object named VM02 and stores the object in the $VM variable.

The second command gets the virtual DVD drive object that is located on Secondary Channel 0 (specified by -Bus 1 and -LUN 0) on the IDE bus on VM02 and then stores the virtual DVD drive object in $DVDDrive.

The last command connects the virtual DVD drive object stored in $DVDDrive to a different position on the IDE bus by setting the logical unit number (LUN) to 1.

Example 3: Disconnect a virtual DVD drive

PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM03"
PS C:\> $DVDDrive = Get-SCVirtualDVDDrive -VM $VM | where { $_.Bus -eq 1 -and $_.LUN -eq 0 }
PS C:\> Set-SCVirtualDVDDrive -VirtualDVDDrive $DVDDrive -NoMedia

The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM03 and stores the object in the $VM variable.

The second command gets the virtual DVD drive object that is located on Secondary Channel 0 (specified by -Bus 1 and -LUN 0) on the IDE bus on VM03 and then stores the virtual DVD drive object in $DVDDrive.

The last command uses the NoMedia parameter to disconnect the virtual DVD drive object stored in $DVDDrive from any host drive or ISO to which it is connected. It also deletes any ISO file that the virtual DVD drive used earlier if no other virtual machine currently uses that ISO file.

Example 4: Connect a virtual DVD drive on an existing virtual machine to any available physical DVD drive

PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM04"
PS C:\> Set-SCVirtualDVDDrive -AnyVMHostDrive -VirtualDVDDrive (Get-VirtualDVDDrive -VM $VM | where {$_.Bus -eq 1 -and $_.Lun -eq 0})

The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM04 and stores the object in the $VM variable.

The last command gets the virtual DVD drive object that is located on the first slot of the Secondary Channel (specified by -Bus 1 and -LUN 0) on the IDE bus on VM04. The command uses the Set-SCVirtualDVDDrive cmdlet with the AnyVMHostDrive parameter to connect the virtual DVD drive to any available physical DVD drive on the host.

Parameters

-AnyVMHostDrive

Indicates that a virtual DVD or floppy drive on a virtual machine will be connected to any corresponding physical drive on a host. This mapping occurs when you deploy a stored virtual machine on a host, or when you use a template or hardware profile to create and deploy a virtual machine on a host.
