NAME Restart-VMHost
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet restarts the specified hosts.
SYNTAX
Restart-VMHost [-VMHost] <VMHost[]> [-Evacuate] [-Force] [-RunAsync] [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet restarts the specified hosts.
PARAMETERS
-Evacuate [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that vCenter Server automatically reregisters the virtual machines that are compatible for
reregistration. If they are not compatible, they remain on the rebooted host. If there are powered-on virtual
machines that cannot be reregistered, the operation waits until they are powered off manually. The Evacuate
parameter is valid only if the cmdlet is run against a vCenter Server system and the host is in a DRS-enabled
cluster.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Force [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that you want to restart the hosts even if they are not in a maintenance mode.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-RunAsync [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the
output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run "help
About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-VMHost <VMHost[]>
Specifies the hosts you want to restart.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? true
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false,
the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value $true
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are
modified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
