Description
The Get-VMHostAssignableDevice cmdlet retrieves information about devices that can be assigned to
a virtual machine host. This can include devices such as GPUs, network adapters, or storage
controllers that are physically present on the host system. The cmdlet can filter devices by their
instance path or ___location path.
Examples
Example 1
Get-VMHostAssignableDevice
This example retrieves all assignable devices on the host computer.
Example 2
Get-VMHostAssignableDevice -ComputerName "MyHost"
In this example, the cmdlet retrieves all assignable devices from the computer named MyHost.
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.
