[<CommonParameters>] Description
The Get-VMDvdDrive cmdlet gets the DVD drives attached to a virtual machine or snapshot. This cmdlet has no ControllerType parameter, as the Get-VMHardDiskDrive cmdlet does, because virtual DVD drives can be attached only to the IDE controller.
Examples
Example 1
PS C:\> Get-VMDvdDrive -VMName TestGets the virtual DVD drives from virtual machine Test.
Example 2
PS C:\> Get-VM -Name Test | Get-VMDvdDrive -ControllerNumber 1Gets the virtual DVD drives from IDE controller 1 of virtual machine Test.
Example 3
PS C:\> Get-VMIdeController -VMName TestVM -ControllerNumber 1 -ComputerName Development | Get-VMDvdDriveGets the virtual DVD drives from IDE controller 1 of virtual machine TestVM located on the server Development.
Example 4
PS C:\> Get-VMSnapshot -VMName TestVM -Name 'Before applying updates' | Get-VMDvdDriveGets the virtual DVD drives from snapshot Before applying updates of virtual machine TestVM.
