Detailed Description
The Get-SCVirtualHardDisk cmdlet gets virtual hard disk objects from a virtual machine, from a template, or as a standalone file stored in the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) library.
A virtual hard disk can be a Windows-based .vhd file, a Citrix XenServer-based .vhd file, or a VMware-based.vmdk file. A virtual hard disk might be stored as a standalone object in the VMM library, attached to a virtual disk drive on a template, or attached to a virtual disk drive on a deployed or stored virtual machine.
Parameters
-All
Indicates that this cmdlet retrieves a full list of all subordinate objects independent of the parent object. For example, the command Get-SCVirtualDiskDrive -All retrieves all virtual disk drive objects regardless of the virtual machine object or template object that each virtual disk drive object is associated with.

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).
Inputs
The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.
Outputs
The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.
- VirtualHardDisk
Notes
- This cmdlet requires a VMM virtual machine object or a VMM template object, which can be retrieved by using the Get-SCVirtualMachine cmdlet, or the Get-SCVMTemplate cmdlet, respectively.
Examples
Example 1: Get a virtual hard disk object from the library
This command gets the virtual hard disk object named VHD01.vhd stored on LibraryServer01, and then stores the object in the $VHD variable.
PS C:\> $VHD = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where { $_.Name -eq "VHD01.vhd" -and $_.LibraryServer.Name -eq "LibraryServer01.Contoso.com" }
Example 2: Get a virtual hard disk object from a virtual machine
The first command connects to VMMServer01.
The second command gets the virtual machine object named VM01, selects all virtual hard disks on VM01 whose name includes the string DataDisk, and then stores the returned virtual hard disk objects in the $VHD variable.
PS C:\> Get-SCVMMServer -ComputerName "VMMServer01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> $VHD = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01" | Get-SCVirtualHardDisk | where { $_.Name -match "DataDisk" }
Example 3: Get a virtual hard disk object from a specific template
This command gets the template object named Template01 from the library, and then displays all virtual hard disk objects on that template.
PS C:\> Get-SCVMTemplate -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where {$_.Name -eq "Template01"} | Get-SCVirtualHardDisk
