[<CommonParameters>] The Add-VMDvdDrive cmdlet adds a DVD drive to a virtual machine.
Add-VMDvdDrive -VMName Test -Path D:\ISOs\disc1.isoThis example adds a virtual DVD drive using file D:\ISOs\disc1.iso to virtual machine Test.
Get-VM Test | Add-VMDvdDrive -ControllerNumber 1This example adds a virtual DVD drive using controller number 1 to virtual machine Test.
Get-VMIdeController -VMName Test | Add-VMDvdDrive -Path E:\This example adds virtual DVD drives using the IDE controllers from virtual machine Test.
Specifies that no error is to be thrown if the specified path is not verified as accessible by the cluster. This parameter is applicable to clustered virtual machines.
