Mount-VMHostAssignableDevice

Mounts a device to a virtual machine (VM) host.

Syntax

Path (Default)

Mount-VMHostAssignableDevice
    [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
    [-ComputerName <String[]>]
    [-Credential <PSCredential[]>]
    [-InstancePath <String>]
    [-LocationPath <String>]
    [-Passthru]
    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Object

Mount-VMHostAssignableDevice
    [-HostAssignableDevice] <VMHostAssignableDevice[]>
    [-Passthru]
    [-WhatIf]
    [-Confirm]
    [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Mount-VMHostAssignableDevice cmdlet mounts a device such as GPUs, network adapters, or storage controllers that are physically present on the virtual machine host.

Examples

Example 1

$device = Get-VMHostAssignableDevice -InstancePath "PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0300)#PCI(0000)"
$params = @{
HostAssignableDevice = $device
VMName = "MyVM"
}
Mount-VMHostAssignableDevice @params

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.
