The Add-VMFibreChannelHba cmdlet adds a virtual Fibre Channel host bus adapter to a virtual machine.
Examples
Example 1
PS C:\> Add-VMFibreChannelHba -VMName MyVM -SanName Production
This example adds the virtual Fibre Channel host bus adapter associated with virtual storage area network Production to a virtual machine named MyVM.
Parameters
