Description
The Resume-SCVirtualMachine cmdlet resumes one or more paused virtual machines managed by Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). A paused virtual machine is one that has been suspended by using the Suspend-SCVirtualMachine cmdlet. Using this cmdlet to resume a virtual machine returns its object in a Running state. When the virtual machine is running again, the user can resume activity on that virtual machine.
If you run this cmdlet on a virtual machine that is already running, the cmdlet returns an error message indicating that the virtual machine is not in a state on which it can act.
Examples
Example 1: Resume a paused virtual machine
PS C:\> $VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name "VM01"
PS C:\> Resume-SCVirtualMachine -VM $VM
The first command gets the virtual machine object named VM01, and stores that object in the $VM variable.
The second command resumes the virtual machine stored in $VM to a running state and displays information about the object to the user. The virtual machine must be paused for this command to succeed.
Example 2: Resume all paused virtual machines
PS C:\> $VMs = Get-SCVirtualMachine -VMMServer "VMMServer01.Contoso.com" | where {$_.Status -eq "Paused"}
PS C:\> $VMs | Resume-SCVirtualMachine
The first command gets all virtual machine objects from VMMServer01 that are paused, and then stores those objects in the $VMs object array.
The second command passes each object stored in $VMs to the currenct cmdlet, which resumes each virtual machine to a running state.
