NAME New-FloppyDrive
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet creates a new virtual floppy drive.
SYNTAX
New-FloppyDrive [-VM] <VirtualMachine> [-FloppyImagePath <String>] [-HostDevice <String>] [-NewFloppyImagePath
<String>] [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-StartConnected] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet creates a new virtual floppy drive for each of the provided virtual machines. If a floppy image path
is provided, sets the floppy drive to point to the image. If both the FloppyImagePath and HostDevice parameters
are specified, an error is generated.
PARAMETERS
-FloppyImagePath <String>
Specifies the datastore path to the floppy image file backing the virtual floppy drive. Do not use this
parameter together with the HostDevice parameter.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-HostDevice <String>
Specifies the path to the floppy drive on the host which will back this virtual floppy drive. Do not use this
parameter together with the FloppyImagePath parameter.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NewFloppyImagePath <String>
Specifies a new datastore path to a floppy image file backing the virtual floppy drive. Do not use this
parameter together with the HostDevice parameter.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is passed to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-StartConnected [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the virtual floppy drive starts connected when its associated virtual machine powers on.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-VM <VirtualMachine>
Specifies the virtual machine to which you want to attach the new virtual floppy drive. Passing multiple
values to this parameter is obsolete.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? true
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false,
the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value $true
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are
modified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

NOTES
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
New-FloppyDrive -VM VM -HostDevice '/dev/fd0' -StartConnected
Creates a floppy drive backed by the client device /dev/fd0 and sets it to start connected when the virtual
machine is powered on.
