Syntax

Start-SCDynamicOptimization
     [-VMMServer <ServerConnection>]
     [-VMHostGroup] <HostGroup>
     [-WhatIf]
     [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Start-SCDynamicOptimization cmdlet manully starts the dynamic optimization process for a host cluster or host group.

Examples

Example 1: Optimize hosts in a cluster

PS C:\> $Cluster = Get-SCVMHostCluster "Cluster01"
PS C:\> Start-SCDynamicOptimization -VMHostCluster $Cluster

The first command gets the host cluster object named Cluster01 and stores the object in the $Cluster variable.

The second command initiates the dynamic optimization process for the cluster stored in $Cluster.

Example 2: Optimize hosts in a host group

PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup "HostGroup01"
PS C:\> Start-SCDynamicOptimization -VMHostGroup $HostGroup

The first command gets the host group object named HostGroup01 and stores the object in the $HostGroup variable.

The second command initiates the dynamic optimization process for the host group stored in $HostGroup.
