Get one or more disk image objects (virtual hard disk or ISO).
Syntax
Get-DiskImage { [-ImagePath] String[] | [-Volume CimInstance] | -DevicePath String[] }
[-StorageType StorageType] [-CimSession CimSession[]] [-ThrottleLimit Int32]
[-AsJob] [CommonParameters]
Key
-AsJob
Run the cmdlet as a background job.
Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-CimSession
Run 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.
-DevicePath
The device path of the ISO or VHD file. You cannot use this parameter with the -ImagePath parameter.
-ImagePath
The path of the ISO or VHD file. You cannot use this parameter with the -DevicePath parameter.
-StorageType
Specifies the type of a disk image: ISO, VHD, VHDx, or Unknown.
If the -StorageType parameter is not specified or the Unknown type is provided, the storage type is determined by file extension.
-ThrottleLimit
The maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet.
If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then PowerShell calculates an optimum
throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer.
The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
-Volume
Get the disk image associated with the specified Volume object.
Enter a Volume CIM object, which can be obtained by using the Get-Volume cmdlet.
The Get-DiskImage cmdlet gets the objects associated with one or more disk images (virtual hard disk or ISO). This cmdlet requires either the full image path of the ISO or VHD file, or the device path.
This cmdlet reports whether the specified ISO or VHD file is currently attached.
Standard Aliases for Get-DiskImage: none
Get a disk image by path:
PS C:\> Get-DiskImage -ImagePath "E:\ISO-Files\palestine.iso"
Get a disk image by device path:
PS C:\> Get-DiskImage -DevicePath \\.\CDROM1
Get the drive letter associated with a mounted ISO:
PS C:\> Get-DiskImage -DevicePath \\.\CDROM1 | Get-Volume
Get the drive letter associated with a mounted VHD:
PS C:\> Get-DiskImage -ImagePath E:\vhd1.vhdx | Get-Disk | Get-Partition | Get-Volume
“Memory is fallible... not because of storage limitations so much as retrieval limitations” ~ Daniel Levitin
Mount-DiskImage - Mount a previously created disk image (virtual HD or ISO).
Dismount-DiskImage - Dismount a disk image (virtual hard disk or ISO) so that it can no longer be accessed as a disk.
