Hyper-V 2016 series tutorial 39 using Hyper-V and Windows PowerShell in Windows 10

Note: the following sections are taken from the Microsoft website:

Now that you have a basic understanding of how to deploy Hyper-V, create virtual machines, and manage these virtual machines, let's look at how to use PowerShell to automate most of these activities.

Returns a list of Hyper-V commands

1. Click the Windows Start button, and type "PowerShell".
2. powershell

3. get-command -module hyper-v | out-gridview 

   The contents of the fetch are as follows:

   650) this.width=650; "Src=" https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/ Virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/media/command_grid.png "style=" Border:0px;height:auto;/>

4. To learn more about specific PowerShell commands, use theGet-Help. For example, run the following command to returnGet-VMinformation about the Hyper-V command.

   
   

   
   

   PowerShell

   
   

   Get-help GET-VM
   

   
   

   The output shows you how to build the command, the required and optional parameter definitions, and the aliases that you can use.

   
   

   
   

   650) this.width=650; "Src=" https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/media/ Get_help.png "style=" Border:0px;height:auto; "/>

   
   

Return to the list of virtual machines

using  GET-VM  command returns the list of virtual machines.

1. powershell

2. GET-VM 

   
   

   650) this.width=650; "Src=" Https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/media /get_vm.png "style=" Border:0px;height:auto; "/>

3. To return only the list of virtual machines that have been started, add a filter to theGet-VMcommand. You canWhere-Objectadd filters by using commands. For more information about filtering, see Working with where-object documents.

   
   

   
   

   PowerShell

   
   

   GET-VM | where {$_. State-eq ' Running '}
   

4. To list all virtual machines that are in the shutdown state, run the following command. This command is a copy of the command in step 2, but the filter is changed from running to off.

5. PowerShell

   GET-VM | where {$_. State-eq ' Off '}

To start and shut down a virtual machine

1. To start a specific virtual machine, run the following command with the virtual machine name:

2. PowerShell

   Start-vm-name <virtual Machine name>

3. powershell

   get-vm | where {$_. state -eq  ' Off '} | START-VM 

4. To close all running virtual machines, run the following command:

5. PowerShell

   GET-VM | where {$_. State-eq ' Running '} | Stop-vm

To create a VM checkpoint

To create checkpoints using PowerShell, use theGet-VMcommand to select a virtual machine, and then pass the virtual machine through a pipe to theCheckpoint-VMCommand. Finally, use-SnapshotNameName the checkpoint. The complete command looks like this:

PowerShell

Get-vm-name <VM name> | Checkpoint-vm-snapshotname <name for Snapshot>

Create a new virtual machine

The following example shows how to create a new virtual machine in the PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE). This is a simple example and can be extended to include additional PowerShell features and more advanced VM deployments.

1. To open PowerShell Ise, click Start, and type PowerShell ise.

2. Run the following code to create the virtual machine. ForNew-VMmore information about commands, see the NEW-VM documentation.

   
   

   
   

   PowerShell

   
   

   $VMName = "VMNAME"$VM = @{
     Name = $VMName 
     MemoryStartupBytes = 2147483648
     Generation = 2
     NewVHDPath = "C:\Virtual Machines\$VMName\$VMName.vhdx"
     NewVHDSizeBytes = 53687091200
     BootDevice = "VHD"
     Path = "C:\Virtual Machines\$VMName"
     SwitchName = (Get-VMSwitch).Name[0]
   }New-VM @VM
