Description

The Add-VMFibreChannelHba cmdlet adds a virtual Fibre Channel host bus adapter to a virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Add-VMFibreChannelHba -VMName MyVM -SanName Production

This example adds the virtual Fibre Channel host bus adapter associated with virtual storage area network Production to a virtual machine named MyVM.

Parameters

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type:	CimSession[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ComputerName

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which a virtual Fibre Channel host bus adapter is to be added. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

-Credential

Specifies one or more user accounts that have permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.

Type:	PSCredential[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-GenerateWwn

Specifies that the world wide names for the Fibre Channel host bus adapter are to be generated automatically. When specified, the WorldWideNodeNameSetA, WorldWideNodeNameSetB, WorldWidePortNameSetA, and WorldWidePortNameSetB parameters cannot be used.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Passthru

Specifies that an object representing the virtual machine to which the virtual Fibre Channel host bus adapter being added is to be passed through to the pipeline.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-SanName

Specifies the virtual storage area network (SAN) name to associate with this virtual Fibre Channel host bus adapter. Use the Get-VMSan cmdlet to get a list of all virtual SANs on the host.

Type:	String
Position:	1
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-VM

Specifies the virtual machine to which the virtual Fibre Channel host bus adapter is to be added.
