Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies the configuration of the specified virtual floppy drive. If a floppy image path is provided, the cmdlet sets the floppy drive to point to the image. Also, the cmdlet updates the StartConnected and Connected properties. If the value of the NoMedia parameter is $true, the cmdlet removes the floppy drive's media backing and disconnects it. The FloppyImagePath, HostDevice, and NoMedia parameters cannot be used together. The Connected parameter can be specified only if the corresponding virtual machine is powered on.

Parameters

Name | Type | Description | Required? | Pipeline Input | Default Value
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Floppy | FloppyDrive[] | Specifies the virtual floppy drive you want to configure. | true | true (ByValue)
Confirm | SwitchParameter | If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false, the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation. | false | false
Connected | Boolean | If the value is $true, the virtual floppy drive is connected after its creation. If the value is $false, the floppy drive is disconnected. This parameter can be specified only if the corresponding virtual machine is powered on. | false | false
FloppyImagePath | String | Specifies the datastore path to the floppy image file that backs the virtual floppy drive. Do not use this parameter when the HostDevice and NoMedia parameters are specified. | false | false
HostDevice | String | Specifies the path to the floppy drive on the host that backs this virtual floppy drive. Do not use this parameter when the FloppyImagePath and NoMedia parameters are specified. | false | false
NoMedia | SwitchParameter | Indicates that the floppy drive is to have no media (similar to removing the floppy from a physical drive). Do not use this parameter when the FloppyImagePath and HostDevice parameters are specified. | false | false
StartConnected | Boolean | If the value is $true, the virtual floppy drive starts connected when its associated virtual machine powers on. If the value is $false, it starts disconnected. | false | false
WhatIf | SwitchParameter | Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are modified. | false | false

Return Type

Zero or more modified FloppyDrive objects
