Cmdlets are usually implemented around resource operations. The four basic operations are CREATE, READ, UPDATE and DELETE. This set of operations is known as CRUD. Most of the cmdlets support CRUD which are respectively cmdlets that start with the New/Get/Set/Remove cmdlet verbs but they also may have additional operations.
Step 1: Retrieve a object by running a Get command
You can READ objects by using Get-HardDisk cmdlet. See example below:
Get-HardDisk -VM VM
Step 2: Run commands from the CRUD group
You can CREATE objects by using New-HardDisk cmdlet. See example below:$vm = Get-VM VM
$vm | New-HardDisk -CapacityGB 100 -Persistence persistent
Get-HardDisk -VM $vm | Set-HardDisk -Persistence "IndependentNonPersistent"

Remove-HardDisk
cmdlet. See example below:
