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.
