Description

The Get-VMHardDiskDrive cmdlet gets the virtual hard disk drives attached to one or more virtual machines.

Examples

Example 1 

PS C:\> Get-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName TestVM

Gets the virtual hard drives from virtual machine TestVM.

Example 2 

PS C:\> Get-VM -Name TestVM | Get-VMHardDiskDrive -ControllerType IDE -ControllerNumber 1

Gets the virtual hard drives from IDE controller 1 of virtual machine TestVM.

Example 3 

PS C:\> Get-VMIdeController -VMName TestVM -ControllerNumber 1 -ComputerName Development | Get-VMHardDiskDrive

Gets the virtual hard drives from IDE controller 1 of virtual machine TestVM located on Hyper-V host Development.

Example 4 

PS C:\> Get-VMSnapshot -VMName Test -Name 'Before applying updates' | Get-VMHardDrive

Gets the virtual hard drives from snapshot Before applying updates of virtual machine TestVM.
