We're performing an emergency shutdown of a site for a generator install. I've written a script to pull all of the hosts out of maintenance mode, then power on the controller VM (Nutanix)

Connect-VIServer 10.102.11.106 -User USER -Password PASSWORD
Set-VMHost -VMHost 10.102.11.106 -State "Connected"

Sleep 5

Get-VM NTNX* | Start-VM

I have 48 hosts, and I'm getting confused on the shell order. If I write this...


Connect-VIServer 10.102.11.106 -User USER -Password PASSWORD
Set-VMHost -VMHost 10.102.11.106 -State "Connected"

Connect-VIServer 10.102.11.107 -User USER -Password PASSWORD
Set-VMHost -VMHost 10.102.11.107 -State "Connected"

Sleep 5

Get-VM NTNX* | Start-VM


It removes all the hosts from maint, and then starts the controllers. but if I word it like such...

Connect-VIServer 10.102.11.106 -User USER -Password PASSWORD
Set-VMHost -VMHost 10.102.11.106 -State "Connected"
Get-VM NTNX* | Start-VM

Connect-VIServer 10.102.11.107 -User USER -Password PASSWORD
Set-VMHost -VMHost 10.102.11.107 -State "Connected"
Get-VM NTNX* | Start-VM


It removes both hosts from maint first, then starts the vms. Same as my first script.

Is there any difference? I'd like a little more control over when i power the controller after it comes out of maintenance
