Detaching persistant disks

vivekrishna — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 16:58:51 GMT

Is there anyway I can detach the persistant disk from the VM, using powershell or Vmware View CLI.

I tried in many sites and no command for detaching the disks.

Please help.

Thanks,

Vivek

The cmdlet is 'Get-ProfileDisk' and parameter to detach persistent disk is 'detachUdd'.

View API - VMware API Explorer - VMware {code} > Click on 'Service Type' > Type 'Persistentdisk' and you will get all the options.

Below cmd will retrieve info about persistent disk that belongs to specific user: Test it for a test account before running directly on production:

Get-ProfileDisk –Username <domain>\<username>

Getting list of detached persistent disks only:

Get-ProfileDisk –Username <domain>\<username> -Status <Detached/InUse/Archiving>

Detaching the PD:

Get-ProfileDisk –Username <domain>\<username> -detachUdd

Get-ProfileDisk –Username <domain>\<username> -detachUdd

As I checked, till this its okay.Get-ProfileDisk –Username <domain>\<username>

but there is no such parameter like -detachUdd.

Could you please reverify
