How to start local Azure Service Fabric Cluster with PowerShell or CLI

I am developing in Azure Service Fabric and there are several times when the Service Fabric is not started for some reason (usually after a reboot). The Service Fabric Manager in the system tray has horrible response time (if it responds at all).

Is there a PowerShell cmdlet or even a cli command that I can use to start the local Service Fabric?

Solution

  • You can just use the Start-Service cmdlet

    PS C:\windows\system32> Start-Service FabricHostSvc
WARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Service Fabric Host Service (FabricHostSvc)' to start...

    You can also check if the host is running by running Get-Service

    PS C:\windows\system32> Get-Service FabrichostSvc

Status   Name               DisplayName
------   ----               -----------
Running  FabrichostSvc      Microsoft Service Fabric Host Service

    If it's running you can also use Restart-Service

    PS C:\windows\system32> Restart-Service FabrichostSvc
WARNING: Waiting for service 'Microsoft Service Fabric Host Service (FabrichostSvc)' to start...
