Remove-VMAssignableDevice

SYNOPSIS

Removes information about the assignable devices from a specific virtual machine.

SYNTAX

VMName (Default)

Remove-VMAssignableDevice [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ComputerName <String[]>]
 [-Credential <PSCredential[]>] [-VMName] <String[]> [-InstancePath <String>]
 [-LocationPath <String>] [-Passthru] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

Object

Remove-VMAssignableDevice [-VMAssignableDevice] <VMAssignedDevice[]> [-Passthru] [-WhatIf]
 [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Remove-VMAssignableDevice cmdlet removes an assignable device from a specified virtual machine (VM). This is often used in scenarios where a physical device, such as a GPU or network adapter, was previously assigned to a VM and needs to be unassigned.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

$params = @{
VMName = "MyVM"
InstancePath = "PCIROOT(0)#PCI(0300)#PCI(0000)#PCI(0800)#PCI(0000)#PCI(1000)"
}
Remove-VMAssignableDevice $params

This example removes a specific assignable device, identified by its instance path, from 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.

Type: CimSession[]
Parameter Sets: VMName
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-ComputerName

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on the virtual network adapters are to be retrieved. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowed. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: VMName
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Credential

Specifies one or more user accounts that have permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.

Type: PSCredential[]
Parameter Sets: VMName
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-InstancePath

Removes the Device Instance path in the host machine.

Type: String
Parameter Sets: VMName
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None

Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Passthru

Returns an object for each process that the cmdlet started.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
Aliases:

Required: False
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-VMAssignableDevice

Specifies the assignable device object that you want to remove from the virtual machine. This is usually an object retrieved from a cmdlet like Get-VMAssignableDevice.

Type: VMAssignedDevice[]
Parameter Sets: Object
Aliases:

Required: True
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

-VMName

Specifies the name of the virtual machine from which you want to remove the assignable device.

Type: String[]
Parameter Sets: VMName
Aliases:

Required: True
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type: SwitchParameter
Parameter Sets: (All)
