Description
The Restart-SCVMHost cmdlet restarts a specified host managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). Restart-SCVMHost restarts the host by issuing Power Off and Power On commands.
There are two methods by which you can restart a host: in-band and out-of-band (OOB).
The default parameter set uses the in-band method.
To use the OOB method, the host must be configured for OOB management.
For information about configuring the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) settings for a host, type Get-Help Set-SCVMHost -Detailed.
Examples
Example 1: Restart a specified host
PS C:\> Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "NewHost01" | Restart-SCVMHost
This command restarts the host named NewHost01 using in-band management.
Example 2: Restart a specified host using OOB management
PS C:\> Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "NewHost01" | Restart-SCVMHost -UseOutOfBandChannel -Confirm
This command restarts the host named NewHost01 using OOB management. The command prompts you to confirm the action before proceeding.
Note: The host must be configured for OOB management before running this command.
Parameters
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
