Short Description
Modifies settings of VM virtual disks.
Applies to
Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus
Syntax
Set-VBRViVirtualDevice [-VirtualDevice] <VBRViVirtualDevice> [-ControllerNumber <int>] [-Type <VBRViVirtualDeviceType> {SCSI | SATA | NVME | IDE}] [-VirtualDeviceNode <int>] [<CommonParameters>] |
Detailed Description
This cmdlet modifies settings of VM virtual disks.
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Type | Required | Position | Accept Pipeline Input |
VirtualDevice | Specifies VM virtual disks. The cmdlet will modify settings of these VM disks. | Accepts the VBRViVirtualDevice object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRViVirtualDevice cmdlet. | True | 0 | True (ByValue, ByPropertyName) |
ControllerNumber | Specifies a controller number for VM virtual disks. The cmdlet will set the specified controller number to the VM virtual disks. Maximum allowed value: 3. | Int32 | False | Named | False |
Type | Specifies a virtual device node type. You can specify one of the following virtual device node types:
| VBRViVirtualDeviceType | False | Named | False |
VirtualDeviceNode | Specifies a number of a virtual device node. The cmdlet will set the VM virtual disk with the specified number of a virtual device node. | Int32 | False | Named | False |
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About CommonParameters section of Microsoft Docs.
Output Object
This cmdlet returns the VBRViVirtualDevice object that contains details on virtual disks of VMs from backups.
Examples
Modifying VM Virtual Disk Settings
This cmdlet modifies the following settings for VM virtual disks and sets it to the SCSI 0:5. The controller number is set to 0. The number of a virtual device node is set to 5.
$backup = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Winsrv4515" $restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint $disk = Get-VBRViVirtualDevice -RestorePoint $restorepoint[3] Set-VBRViVirtualDevice -VirtualDevice $disk -ControllerNumber 0 -Type SCSI -VirtualDeviceNode 5 |
Perform the following steps:
- Get the restore point:
- Run the Get-VBRBackup cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $backup variable.
- Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
The Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore point (in our example, it is the fourth restore point in the array).
- Run the Get-VBRViVirtualDevice cmdlet. Set the $restorepoint variable as the RestorePoint parameter value. Save the result to the $disk variable.
The cmdlet output will contain the following details on VM virtual disks: ControllerNumber, Type, VirtualDeviceNode, VirtualDeviceCapacityGB and Name.
- Run the Set-VBRViVirtualDevice cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
- Set the $disk variable as the VirtualDevice parameter value.
- Specify the ControllerNumber parameter value.
- Specify the Type parameter value.
- Specify the VirtualDeviceNode parameter value.
