re-using (accelerating?) PowerCLI connections

[evilensky]

Greetings,

Is there a way I can re-use an existing vcenter session in a new instance of powershell?

I have a workflow which launches a new powershell core instance, connects to vcenter, and executes some checks about our systems, run on a schedule of every five minutes.  The powershell instance is terminated each time it finishes executing.

Thank you kindly,

Use the Session parameter on the Connect-VIServer cmdlet.

The value to pass can be found in $global:DefaultVIServer.SessionId of an existing connection.
