# resumeAllVms.ps1
# Significance: this script is useful in a Clustered Hyper-V environment
# where storage was down for over 60 seconds, causing Hyper-V to put all guest VM's into 'paused-critical' statuses.
# During such event, the cluster would be unreachable as well. Hence, knowing node names prior to pasting this script
# would be necessary.
