Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob

Short Description

Modifies a VMware cloud replication job.

Applies to

Platform: VMware

Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus

Syntax

Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob -Job <CBackupJob> [-Name <string>] [-Entity <IViItem[]>] [-Datastore <VBRCloudDatastore>] [-Suffix <string>] [-BackupRepository <CBackupRepository>] [-Description <string>] [-EnableNetworkMapping] [-SourceNetwork <VBRViNetworkInfo[]>] [-TargetNetwork <VBRCloudServerNetworkInfo[]>] [-SourceProxy <CViProxy[]>] [-UseWANAccelerator] [-SourceWANAccelerator <CWanAccelerator>] [-SourceRepository <CBackupRepository[]>] [-DiskType <EDiskCreationMode> {Source | Thick | Thin | ThickEagerZeroed}] [-EnableSeeding] [-RepositorySeed <CBackupRepository>] [-EnableVMMapping] [-OriginalVM <CViVmItem[]>] [-ReplicaVM <COib[]>] [-Force]  [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies an existing VMware cloud replication job. To modify settings, you need to enter the corresponding parameters with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.

Starting from Veeam Backup & Replication version 9.5 Update 3, the cmdlet checks if the data of the VMs added to the job changes its geographical location.

Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob Note:

The cmdlet will not run if the geographical location of the VMs added to the job and the target cloud host location do not match. If you still want to run the cmdlet, use the Force parameter.

Backup
Repository

Specifies the backup repository which will be used to store replica metadata files.

Default: default backup repository.

False

Named

False

False

Description

Specifies the description of the new job.

False

False

False

Enable
Network
Mapping

Indicates that the network mapping must be used. Use the SourceNetwork and the TargetNetwork parameters to set the network mapping rules.

False

Named

False

False

Source
Network

Used to set the source network for the EnableNetworkMapping parameter.

Specifies the production network to which VMs added to the job are connected.

Accepts VBRViNetworkInfo type.

NOTE: the number of the source and the target networks must be the same.

False

Named

False

False

Target
Network

Used to set the target network for the EnableNetworkMapping parameter.

Specifies the network in the DR site to which VM replicas must be connected.

Accepts VBRCloudServerNetworkInfo type.

NOTE: the number of the source and the target networks must be the same.

False

Named

Use the SourceWANAccelerator parameter to set the WAN accelerator on the source side.

False

Named

False

False

Source
WAN
Accelerator

Specifies the WAN accelerator configured in the source site that will be used for data transfer.

Note that you can set the source WAN accelerator only if the cloud provider has a target WAN accelerator configured.

False

Named

False

False

Source
Repository

Used for building replica from backup files.

Specifies the backup repository that will be used to read the VM data from the already existing backup chain.

Named

False

False

DiskType

Specifies the disks that you want to replicate: Source, Thick, Thin.

Default: Source.

False

Named

False

False

EnableSeeding

Indicates if replica seeding must be used for the replication job.

ByProperty
Name)

False

EnableVMMapping

Indicates that the replication job will use replica mapping.

False

Named

False

False

OriginalVM

For replica mapping.

Specifies the production VM you want to replicate using replica mapping.

The replication job will map this VM to a selected replica VM on the DR site.

Use the ReplicaVM parameter to specify the replica VM on the DR site.

False

Named

True (ByValue,
ByProperty
Name)

False

ReplicaVM

For replica mapping.

Specifies the VM on the DR site you want to use as the replication target. The replication job will map the production VM to this VM.

Use the OriginalVM parameter to specify the production VM.

False

Named

True (ByValue,
ByProperty
Name)

False

Force

Indicates that the cmdlet will modify the cloud replication job even if the geographical location of the VMs added to the job and the target cloud host location do not match.

False

Named

False

False

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the About CommonParameters section of Microsoft Docs.

Example

This example shows how to apply custom settings to the cloud replica job named “Cloud Replica Job”.

  1. Run Get-VBRJob to get the job you want to modify. Save the job to the $job variable.
  2. Run Get-VBRCloudServer to get the cloud server on which the replica will be created. Save the server to the $cloudServer variable.
  3. Run Get-VBRCloudDatastore to specify the new cloud datastore to which you will replicate. Use the $cloudServer variable. Save the datastore to the $NewCloudDatastore variable.
  4. Run Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob to modify the replica job settings. Use the saved variables.

$job = Get-VBRJob –Name “Cloud Replica Job”

$cloudServer = Get-VBRCloudServer -Name 104.45.95.227

$NewCloudDatastore = Get-VBRCloudDatastore -CloudServer $NewCloudServer –Name “CDEDatastore”

Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob –Job $job –Datastore $NewCloudDatastore
