Description

The Get-SCPROTip cmdlet gets one or more Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO) tip objects from the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) database.

If PRO is enabled, a PRO tip recommends an action in response to an alert generated by Operations Manager for hosts that are members of a host group or for hosts configured in a host cluster, as well as for the virtual machines deployed on those hosts. A recommended action might be to move a virtual machine to a new host or to add a CPU to a virtual machine.

PRO provides workload and application-aware resource optimization within host groups or host clusters that are managed by both VMM and Operations Manager. To receive PRO tips for these hosts, you must first configure PRO for VMM. This includes deploying Operations Manager, which generates the PRO tips based on monitors provided by PRO-enabled management packs. PRO tip recommendations are based on policies implemented through Operations Manager.

You can use Get-SCPROTip and the other PROTip cmdlets only on Hyper-V, VMware, or Citrix XenServer hosts that belong to a host group, that are configured in a host cluster, or that belong to a private cloud.

Examples

Example 1: Get all PRO tips for all hosts and all virtual machines managed by VMM

PS C:\> Get-SCPROTip

This command gets all PRO tips from the VMM database and displays information about each PRO tip.

Example 2: Get all active PRO tips for a specific host

PS C:\> $VMHost = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> Get-SCPROTip -VMHost $VMHost

The first command gets the host object named VMHost01 and stores the object in the $VMHost variable.

The second command gets all active PRO tips for VMHost01 and displays information about each tip.
