Restart-SCVMHost

Restarts a specified host managed by VMM.

Syntax

Parameter Set: Default
Restart-SCVMHost [-VMHost] <Host> [-JobVariable <String> ] [-PROTipID <Guid]> ] [-RunAsynchronously] [-UseOutOfBandChannel] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed 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. The default parameter set uses the in-band method. To use the out-of-band method, the host must be configured for out-of-band (OOB) management. For information about configuring the baseboard management controller (BMC) settings for a host, type Get-Help Set-SCVMHost -detailed.
