Examples
1: Refresh all VMware vCenter Servers managed by VMM.
The first command retrieves all virtualizaton manager objects from the VMM database on VMMServer01 and stores the returned objects in the $VirtManagers array.
The second command uses a foreach loop statement to refresh the properties of the objects stored in $VirtManagers so that current information about these virtualization managers displays in the VMM console.
For more information about the standard Windows PowerShell foreach loop statement, type: Get-Help about_ForEach.
PS C:\> $VirtManagers = Get-SCVirtualizationManager -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> ForEach ($VManager in $VirtManagers) {Read-SCVirtualizationManager -VirtualizationManager $VManager}
2: Refresh a specific VMware vCenter Server managed by VMM.
The first command gets the virtualizaton manager object named VirtMgrServer01 from VMMServer01 and stores the object in $VirtManager.
The second command refreshes the properties for the object stored in $VirtManager so that current information about this virtualization manager displays in the VMM console.
PS C:\> $VirtManager = Get-SCVirtualizationManager -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" -Computername "VirtMgrServer01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> Read-SCVirtualizationManager -VirtualizationManager $VirtManager
