NAME Set-FloppyDrive
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet modifies the configuration of the specified virtual floppy drive.
SYNTAX
Set-FloppyDrive [-Floppy] <FloppyDrive[]> [-Connected <Boolean>] [-FloppyImagePath <String>] [-HostDevice
<String>] [-NoMedia] [-StartConnected <Boolean>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet modifies the configuration of the specified virtual floppy drive. If a floppy image path is provided,
the cmdlet sets the floppy drive to point to the image. Also, the cmdlet updates the StartConnected and Connected
properties. If the value of the NoMedia parameter is $true, the cmdlet removes the floppy drive's media backing
and disconnects it. The FloppyImagePath, HostDevice, and NoMedia parameters cannot be used together. The
Connected parameter can be specified only if the corresponding virtual machine is powered on.
PARAMETERS
-Connected <Boolean>
If the value is $true, the virtual floppy drive is connected after its creation. If the value is $false, the
floppy drive is disconnected. This parameter can be specified only if the corresponding virtual machine is
powered on.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Floppy <FloppyDrive[]>
Specifies the virtual floppy drive you want to configure.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-FloppyImagePath <String>
Specifies the datastore path to the floppy image file that backs the virtual floppy drive. Do not use this
parameter when the HostDevice and NoMedia parameters are specified.
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 that backs this virtual floppy drive. Do not use this
parameter when the FloppyImagePath and NoMedia parameters are specified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-NoMedia [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the floppy drive is to have no media (similar to removing the floppy from a physical drive). Do
not use this parameter when the FloppyImagePath and HostDevice parameters are specified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-StartConnected <Boolean>
If the value is $true, the virtual floppy drive starts connected when its associated virtual machine powers
on. If the value is $false, it starts disconnected.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-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).
INPUTS
OUTPUTS
Zero or more modified FloppyDrive objects
