The record

Purpose: Mount-DiskImage mounts a previously created virtual hard disk or ISO so it appears as a normal disk.
Path requirement: The cmdlet requires the full path of the VHD or ISO file.
Supported image types: The StorageType parameter accepts ISO, VHD, VHDX, VHDSet, or Unknown; when omitted or set to Unknown, the type is determined from the file extension.
Access modes: VHD files can be mounted read-only or read-write, while ISO files are mounted read-only regardless of the parameter value.
Privileges: Mounting a VHD requires administrator privileges; the page says ISO mounting does not require them on Windows 8, while Windows Server 2012 permits only an administrator to mount or eject an ISO.
Drive letter: The NoDriveLetter parameter specifies that no drive letter should be assigned after mounting.
Remote execution: The CimSession parameter runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer; by default it uses the local computer session.
Background jobs: The AsJob parameter runs the cmdlet as a background job for commands that take a long time to complete.
Output: The cmdlet produces no output by default; with PassThru it returns an object representing the mounted disk image.
Hyper-V guidance: For creating and mounting a VHD on a computer running Hyper-V, the page points to New-VHD and Mount-VHD in the Hyper-V module, or to Disk Management.
Cluster behavior: When Storage module cmdlets are used in a failover cluster, they operate at cluster level across all servers in the cluster.
Windows support: The MSFT_DiskImage Mount method lists Windows 8 desktop apps as its minimum supported client and Windows Server 2012 desktop apps as its minimum supported server.
