  • Reference
Module:
VirtualMachineManager

Starts remediation steps on a failed host for a set of known failure conditions.

Syntax

Repair-SCVMHost
      [-VMHost] <Host>
      [-Credential <VMMCredential>]
      [-RunAsynchronously]
      [-PROTipID <Guid>]
      [-JobVariable <String>]
      [-WhatIf]
      [-Confirm]
      [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Repair-SCVMHost cmdlet starts a set of remediation steps on a host in failed state for a set of known failure conditions.

Examples

Example 1: Start remediation steps for a failed host object

PS C:\> $RunAsAccount = Get-SCRunAsAccount -Name "RunAsAccount01"
PS C:\> Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01" | Repair-SCVMHost -Credential $RunAsAccount

The first command gets the Run As account object named RunAsAccount01 and stores the object in the $RunAsAccount variable.

The second command gets the host object named VMHost01 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to the Repair-SCVMHost cmdlet which triggers the remediation steps for known failure causes, using the credentials supplied in $RunAsAccount.
