Reference

Module:: VirtualMachineManager

Starts dynamic optimization on a host cluster or host group.

Syntax

Start-SCDynamicOptimization

     [-VMHostGroup] <HostGroup>
     [-OptimizationObjectType <ManualOptimizationObjectType>]
     [-WhatIf]
     [<CommonParameters>]

Start-SCDynamicOptimization

Description

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

Examples

Example 1: Optimize hosts in a cluster for compute

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

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

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

Example 2: Optimize storage and compute in a cluster

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

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

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

Example 3: Optimize hosts in a host group for compute and storage

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

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

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