The Mount-VMHostAssignableDevice cmdlet mounts a device such as GPUs, network adapters, or storage
controllers that are physically present on the virtual machine host.
In this example, the Get-VMHostAssignableDevice cmdlet retrieves the device with the specified
instance path and stores it in the $device variable. The Mount-VMHostAssignableDevice cmdlet
then assigns this device to the virtual machine named MyVM.
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.
