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

-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.

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Aliases:	cf
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
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

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
