    Hi,

    I have a command to power on first 10 VM's from a hypervisor who hold 200+VMs and the command works well.

    But can anyone tell me how can I convert this in a loop, so that after first 10 VM poweron it will give 20 second waiting and then will start another 10 and again wait for 20 second and proceed with another 10 sets and complete all 200+ VM's in this format.

    Can anyone help me here ?

    Get-Cluster -name <clustername> | Get-ClusterResource | where { $_.Name -and $_.state -eq "offline"} | Select-Object -First 10 | Start-ClusterResource

    Use a loop.  Add "sleep 10"  - run loop on all systems that are not running until all have completed.

    I have tried something like this, but not working

    do{
        Get-Cluster -name <clustername> | Get-ClusterResource | where { $_.Name -and $_.state -eq "offline"} | Select-Object -First 10 | Start-ClusterResource
        start-sleep -Seconds 20
    }until($infinity)

    Why are you checking if the $_.name is is equal to "offline"?

    That checks if Name is not null.
