Module:
Hyper-V

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

Syntax

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

     [-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
