Parameters

VMHost

Required? true
Accept Pipeline Input? true (ByValue)
Position? 0 
Specifies a virtual machine host object. VMM supports Hyper-V hosts, VMware ESX hosts, and Citrix XenServer hosts.

Credential

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies a credential object or, for some cmdlets, a Run As account object that contains the user name and password of an account that has permission to perform this action. Or, in the case of Restart-SCJob, has permission to complete a restarted task. 

For more information about the PSCredential object, type: "Get-Help Get-Credential".

JobVariable

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies that job progress is tracked and stored in the variable named by this parameter.

PROTipID

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false
Position? named 
Specifies the ID of the PRO tip that triggered this action. This allows for auditing of PRO tips.

RunAsynchronously

Required? false
Accept Pipeline Input? false

Examples

1: Start remediation steps for a failed host object. 
PS C:\> $RunAsAccount = Get-SCRunAsAccount -Name "RunAsAccount01"
PS C:\> Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName "VMHost01" | Repair-SCVMHost -Credential $RunAsAccount

The first command gets the Run As account object named RunAsAccount01 and stores the object in the $RunAsAccount variable.

The second command gets the host object named VMHost01 and uses the pipeline operator to pass the object to the Repair-SCVMHost cmdlet which triggers the remediation steps for known failure causes, using the credentials supplied in $RunAsAccount.
