False

Named

False

Complete

Defines that the cmdlet will switch the CDP replica from the failback state to the permanent failback state.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

SwitchToProduction

Defines that the cmdlet will switch the CDP replica from the ready to switch state to the failback state.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

SwitchingSchedule

Reason

Specifies the reason for performing a failback.

String

False

Named

False

ResourcePool

For failback to a different location.

Specifies a resource pool. The cmdlet will perform a failback of CDP replica to an original VM that is located on this resource pool.

If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet will use the resource pool that is set as a default for the target host.

Accepts the CViResourcePoolItem object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRViEntity cmdlet.

False

Named

False

Folder

For failback to a different location.

Specifies a folder. The cmdlet will perform a failback of CDP replica to an original VM that is located in this folder.

If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet will use the folder that is set as a default for the target host.

Accepts the CViFolderItem object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRViEntity cmdlet.

False

False

Named

False

DRNetwork

For failback to a different location.

Specifies an array of disaster recovery site networks. The cmdlet will map the replica to these networks.

Note: If you specify this parameter, you must also specify the ProductionNetwork parameter.

Accepts the VBRViNetworkInfo[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo cmdlet.

False

Named

False

ProductionNetwork

For failback to a different location.

Specifies an array of production site networks. The cmdlet will map the replica to these networks.

Accepts the VBRViNetworkInfo[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo cmdlet.

False

Named

False

PowerOn

Defines that the cmdlet will power on a production VM after the failback. If you do not provide this parameter, you will need to power the VM on manually.

Default: False.

Note: If you provide this parameter with the Complete parameter, this parameter does not work. The VM will remain in the state it had before committing failback.

SwitchParameter
