Description
The Start-SqlInstance cmdlet starts the specified instance of SQL Server.
SQL Server Cloud Adapter must be running and accessible on the computer that hosts the instance of SQL Server.
This cmdlet supports the following modes of operation:
- Specify the instance to the Windows PowerShell path.
- Specify the server object.
- Specify the ServerInstance object of the target instance of SQL Server.
Note: This cmdlet ceased to work a long time ago. It's been removed in version 22 of the module.
Examples
Example 1: Start a SQL Server instance
PS C:\> CD SQLSERVER:\SQL\Computer\Instance
PS SQLSERVER:\SQL\Computer\Instance> Start-SqlInstance -Credential $Credential -AcceptSelfSignedCertificate
The first command changes directory to the path SQLSERVER:\SQL\Computer\Instance
.
Example 2: Start all instances of SQL Server on the target computer
PS C:\> Get-SqlInstance -Credential $Credential -MachineName "Computer004" | Start-SqlInstance -Credential $Credential -AcceptSelfSignedCertificate
This command gets all instances of SQL Server on the computer named Computer004
and then starts all the instances.
The self-signed certificate of the target machine is automatically accepted without prompting the user.
