[<CommonParameters>] Description
The New-SCVirtualDiskDrive cmdlet creates a virtual disk drive object on a virtual machine deployed on a host managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), or creates a virtual disk drive object on a template in the VMM library.
In System Center, you can create a differencing disk by using the Differencing and ParentVirtualHardDiskPath parameters. A differencing disk is a disk associated in a parent-child relationship to another disk that you want to leave intact. You can change the data or operating system on the child disk without affecting the parent disk. You can revert changes to the child disk. The child disk must have the same virtual hard disk format as the parent disk, either VHD or VHDX. You can set the format by using the VirtualHardDiskFormat parameter.
A virtual hard disk file that is stored on a VMM library share, but is not attached to a virtual disk drive, exists as a stand-alone object in the library. It could be a Windows-based .vhd or .vhdx file or a VMware-based .vmdk file.
A pass-through disk is a disk on a Hyper-V or VMware ESX host that a virtual machine on that host can use instead of using a virtual hard disk. The corresponding VMware term is Raw Device Mapping (RDM). The host disk is either a local hard disk or a logical unit on a Storage Area Network (SAN). VMM lets the virtual machine bypass the host file system and access the pass-through disk directly. Hyper-V hosts support pass-through disks and conversion of a pass-through disk to a VHD. VMware ESX hosts support pass-through disks, but not disk conversion. Citrix XenServer hosts do not support pass-through disks.
You cannot create a checkpoint of a pass-through disk because checkpoint creation is designed to work with virtual hard disks.
Examples
Example 1: Create a virtual disk drive on a template and attach an existing virtual hard disk
PS C:\> $VHD = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -Name "Blank Disk - Small.vhd"
PS C:\> $VMTemplate = Get-SCVMTemplate | Where-Object {$_.Name -Eq "VMTemplate01"}
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualDiskDrive -VMTemplate $VMTemplate -IDE -Bus 1 -Lun 1 -VirtualHardDisk $VHDThe first command gets the virtual hard disk object named Blank Disk - Small from the VMM library by using the Get-SCVirtualHardDisk cmdlet. The command stores that object in the $VHD variable.
The second command gets the virtual machine template object named VMTemplate01 from the library by using the Get-SCVMTemplate cmdlet. The command stores stores that object in the $Template variable.
The last command creates a virtual disk drive on VMTemplate01. The commandattaches the virtual hard disk stored in $VHD to the second channel in the second slot of the IDE bus on the virtual disk drive.
Example 2: Create a virtual disk drive and add it to an existing virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualDiskDrive -VM $VM -Dynamic -FileName "Test" -IDE -Size 20000 -Bus 0 -LUN 1The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01 by using the Get-SCVirtualMachine cmdlet. The command stores that object in the $VM variable.
The second command creates a dynamic virtual disk drive on the first IDE channel in the second slot of the virtual machine. The command specifies its size as 19.5 GB.
Example 3: Create a virtual disk drive from an existing VHD and attach it to a new virtual machine
PS C:\> $JobGroupID = [Guid]::NewGuid().ToString()
PS C:\> $VHD = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | Where-Object {$_.Location -Eq "\\LibServer01.Contoso.com\MSSCVMMLibrary\VHDs\Blank Disk - Large.vhd"}
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualDiskDrive -IDE -Bus 0 -LUN 1 -JobGroup $JobGroupID -VirtualHardDisk $VHD
PS C:\> $HWProfile = Get-SCHardwareProfile | Where-Object {$_.Name -Match "NewHWProfile01"}
PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost03"
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM10" -Description "New Virtual Machine VM10" -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" -Owner "Contoso\Katarina" -VMHost $VMHost -Path "D:\VirtualMachinePath" -HardwareProfile $HWProfile -JobGroup $JobGroupID -RunAsynchronously -StartAction NeverAutoTurnOnVM -StopAction SaveVMThe first command generates a GUID, and the stores it as a string in the $JobGroupID variable. The job group ID functions as an identifier that groups subsequent commands that include $JobGroupID into a single job group.
The second command gets the virtual hard disk object from the VMM library location \LibraryServer01.Contoso.com\MSSCVMMLibrary\VHDs\Blank Disk - Large.vhd, and then stores that object in the $VHD variable.
The third command creates a virtual hard disk drive object and assigns the new object to IDE Bus 0 and LUN 1. This command also attaches the virtual hard disk stored in $VHD to the new object. By using the JobGroup parameter, this command runs just before the last command that invokes the job group and associate the new virtual hard disk drive object with the new virtual machine created in the previous command.
The fourth command gets the hardware profile object that contains the string NewHWProfile01 in its name by using the Get-SCHardwareProfile cmdlet. The command stores that object in the $HwProfile variable.
The fifth command gets the host object named VMHost03 by using the Get-SCVMHost cmdlet. The command stores the host object in the $VMHost variable.
The last command creates a virtual machine named VM10 using the hardware settings stored in $HWProfile. The command deploys the virtual machine on VMHost03. The command specifies that the virtual machine is not automatically started when the host starts and is put into a saved state when the virtualization service stops. This command uses the JobGroup parameter to indicate that any previous cmdlets that use the same job group ID is run before creating the virtual machine. In this case, the New-SCVirtualDiskDrive cmdlet from the third command creates a virtual disk drive and associates it with the new virtual machine.
Example 4: Create a virtual disk drive using a host disk and attach it to an existing virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM04"
PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost04.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> $HostDisk = @(Get-SCStorageDisk -VMHost $VMHost | Where-Object {$_.IsPassThroughCapable -Eq $True})
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualDiskDrive -VM $VM -HostDisk $HostDisk[0] -SCSI -Bus 0 -LUN 1The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM04, and then stores that object in the $VM variable.
The second command gets the host object named VMHost04, and then stores that object in the $VMHost variable.
The third command gets all storage disk objects on VMHost04 that are pass-through capable, and then stores those objects in the $HostDisk variable. Using the @ symbol and parentheses makes sure that the command stores the results in an array, in case the command returns a single object or a $Null value.
The last command creates a virtual disk drive object that is connected to a physical host disk on VMHost04. The virtual disk drive is attached to the second slot of the first SCSI bus on VM04. This example assumes the virtual machine already has a SCSI controller.
Example 5: Create a virtual disk drive from an existing VHDX and attach it to an existing virtual machine
PS C:\> $VHDX = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | Where-Object {$_.Location -Eq "\\LibServer01.Contoso.com\MSSCVMMLibrary\VHDs\Blank Disk - Large.vhdx"}
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM05"
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualDiskDrive -VM $VM -VirtualHardDisk $VHDX -IDE -Bus 0 -LUN 1The first command gets the virtual hard disk object named Blank Disk - Large.vhdx from the VMM library, and then stores that object in the $VHDX variable.
The second command gets the virtual machine object named VM05, and then stores that object in the $VM variable.
The last command creates a virtual disk drive from Blank Disk - Large.vhdx and attaches the new virtual disk drive to VM05.
Example 6: Create a differencing disk and attach it to an existing virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM06"
PS C:\> New-SCVirtualDiskDrive -Bus 1 -LUN 1 -FileName "DiffDisk" -ParentVirtualHardDiskPath "C:\VirtualMachines\ParentDisk01.vhdx" -Differencing -VirtualHardDiskFormat "VHDX" -IDE -VM $VMThe first command gets the virtual machine object named VM06, and that stores that object in the $VM variable.
The second command creates a differencing disk named DiffDisk.vhdx that has the specified parent disk, and attaches the differencing disk to VM06.
