Example 1
The example shows how to create a new application group for VMware VMs.
You will need to perform the following steps:
- Run Get-VBRRestorePoint to get VMs that you plan to add to the application group. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
- Run Add-VSBViApplicationGroup with the $restorepoint variable.
PS C:\PS> $restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name "MSExchange" PS C:\PS> Add-VSBViApplicationGroup -Name "MailServer Appgroup" -RestorePoint $restorepoint |
Example 2
This example shows how to create a new application group for VMware VMs from backups.
You will need to perform the following steps:
- Run Find-VBRViEntity to get VMs that you plan to add to the application group. Save the result to the $vmb variable.
- Run Add-VSBHvApplicationGroup with the $vmb variable. Use the VmFromBackup parameter to select VMs from backups.
PS C:\PS> $vmb = Find-VBRViEntity -Name "Srv01", "Srv02" PS C:\PS> Add-VSBViApplicationGroup -Name "Support North Appgroup" -VmFromBackup $vmb |
Example 3
This example shows how to create a new application group for VMware VMs from replicas.
You will need to perform the following steps:
- Run Find-VBRViEntity to get VMs that you plan to add to the application group. Save the result to the $vmr variable.
- Run Add-VSBViApplicationGroup with the $vmr variable. Use the VmFromReplica parameter to select VMs from replicas.
PS C:\PS> $vmr = Find-VBRViEntity -Name "Srv03", "Srv04" PS C:\PS> Add-VSBViApplicationGroup -Name "QA Appgroup" -VmFromReplica $vmr |
