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.
Examples
Example 1
PS C:\> Get-VMDvdDrive -VMName Test
Gets the virtual DVD drives from virtual machine Test.
Example 2
PS C:\> Get-VM -Name Test | Get-VMDvdDrive -ControllerNumber 1
Gets the virtual DVD drives from IDE controller 1 of virtual machine Test.
Example 3
PS C:\> Get-VMIdeController -VMName TestVM -ControllerNumber 1 -ComputerName Development | Get-VMDvdDrive
Gets the virtual DVD drives from IDE controller 1 of virtual machine TestVM located on the server Development.
Example 4
PS C:\> Get-VMSnapshot -VMName TestVM -Name 'Before applying updates' | Get-VMDvdDrive
Gets the virtual DVD drives from snapshot Before applying updates of virtual machine TestVM.
Parameters
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
