cmdlet New-hard drive

This will create a HARD drive on the same DS as the VM...

Get-VM-name $displayname | New-harddisk - CapacityKB (10GB / 1 KB)

How can I make more than one HARD drive in this order?

FOR EXAMPLE:

HDD1: 10 GB

HDD2: 5 GB

Thank you!!

You cannot create two hard drives with a single command. You will need to use at least two commands. In PowerShell 5.1 Release 2 new disk hard-cmdlet has a parameter of CapacityGB. So, you can use:

$vm = Get-VM -Name $displayname
$vm | New-HardDisk -CapacityGB 10
$vm | New-HardDisk -CapacityGB 5

    Values and types appear to be correct, but it does not work. At one point, I had this working but then stopped. I had recently upgraded to v5 PowerCLI so I supported that, but it still does not work.

    I am passing the VM as a virtual machine type and the path of the disk as a string by the docs.

    Any help would be appreciated. Especially if I'm doing something stupid. It is such a simple function.

    I thought as well

    The virtual machine can be a VM object or even a string with the name of the virtual machine. The functionality of the object by name (NVOS) will ensure that the hard drive New cmdlet retrieves the virtual computer object. And Yes, the path is a string.

    If you assign the hard drive manually, then do a Get-hard drive, you see the same way that you use in your script?

  • Question about the cmdlet set-hard drive

    Hi out there,.

    I would like to move a group of new data warehouses vmdk using the cmdlet set-hard drive.

    But I want to start moving just a svmotion operation at a time.

    How could I get the id of the task of the vcenter svmotion operation initiated by game-hard drive, so that I can use wait-job to wait to complete the svmotion operation to start the following?

    any idea of... tips are welcome...

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware communities.

    The cmdlet Set - hard drive doen't have a parameter - RunAsync, as for example, the Move-VM cmdlet. This means that the each hard drive Set command must finish before the next command can begin. To this effect, you don't have to perform the synchronization of tasks yourself when you use the cmdlet Set-hard drive.

  • New hard drive fails on Windows Server 2008 VM with LSI Logic SAS SCSI controller

    When I try to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer with the cmdlet New-disk hard of a Windows Server 2008 virtual computer, I get the following error:

    When assigning a different virtual machine, for example the parallel LSI Logic Controller, it is not a problem at all. When I add additional disks using the VI Client, there also no problem, regardless of the SCSI controller I use.

    Someone had this problem as well? Y at - it a known solution?

    Hi rengelen,

    I admit that I was pretty murky about when the fix will be available. The thing is that VMware has a policy that employees should not mention liberation time unless we are certain that we can keep his promise of 100%. Hence statemens as 'will be available in a future release.

  • new hard drive, how to reinstall OS x

    I have a new hard drive after a crash of the former. How can I install OSX top?

    You should be able to boot the Mac using recovery Internet if you updated the firmware to enable.

    OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

    If you don't have to update the Firmware to allow it to use the Internet in recovery, you need to use the installation provided with the Mac DVD.

    Either way, you start the Mac.

    Open disk utility and format the drive under OS X Extended journaled.

    Then, quit disk utility and reinstall OS X.

    Who will install the operating system on the Mac (likely Lion).

    You can then improve it to El Capitan.

    If you have a Time Machine backup, you can restore it in recovery from the Internet instead of reinstalling the operating system.

  • Copy a project and media for the new hard drive

    Greetings,

    I have a very large project stored on an external hard drive and would like to copy the whole thing, including the original media linked to a new hard drive... because I'm afraid that my old one may cease to operate quickly. How can I go on the copy of my project to a new hard disc as well that all sounds, music and video are related?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello.

    You can create a library of transfer in the user interface and move the top project. (It it will copy as you move it to a new drive)

    If you also move the media, it will break the links between the project and the media (audio and video). When you do that, use the command create a link (on the file menu). If you point to the good volume, it should find the media and offer you the ability to link again.

    Good luck.

  • Problems copying bookmarks from old Hard Drive to new hard drive

    The motherboard on my old Windows Vista 64 - bit is dead. The hard drive is still accessible. I bought a new PC with Windows 7 and installed Firefox. I find the.default file for Firefox on the old drive hard and copied and pasted in my new profile on my new hard drive. The old hard drive is connected to my new PC with an external hard drive enclosure. I tried looking for in my old profile user Firefox hard disk of old. I do this by clicking on my old username, go to Program Files (x 86) and only one program file that I found for DNA. Firefox has been installed on my old PC, so I'm surprised that I can't find what it listed under Program Files (x 86) on this drive. If I search the old drive for 'signet', it evokes my bookmarksbackup and other files of bookmarks '.json '. I tired bookmarksbackup copy for my new Firefox profile on the new hard drive and it seems to work, but the old bookmarks do not appear when I open Firefox. I looked at the links troubleshooting for the same problem that others have posted, but they seem irrelevant, because I can't find the sqlite or the directory where my old Firefox settings are stored on my old hard drive. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Firefox settings are not stored in program files, but they are stored under APPDATA.

    If you take the newer JSON file you have, open Firefox, press Control, Shift and B at the same time, then go to "Import and backup" then 'restore', then choose file, you can import it like this?
