Create a new failover plan object for the new VM. For details, see New-VBRFailoverPlanObject. Save the object to the $MSExchangeServer03 variable.
Run Get-VBRFailoverPlan to get the failover plan and save it to the '$MSExchangePlan' variable.
Get the VMs (failover plan objects) that are currently in the failover plan. Save the array to the $MSExchangeGroup variable.
Add the new failover plan object to the array.
Run Set-VBRFailoverPlan using the $MSExchangePlan variable and the updated array of the failover plan objects.

PS C:\PS> $MSExchangeServer03 = Find-VBRViEntity -Name "MS Exchange Server 03"

PS C:\PS> $MSExchangePlan = Get-VBRFailoverPlan -Name "MS Exchange Group Failover"

PS C:\PS> $MSExchangeGroup = $MSExchangePlan.FailoverObject

PS C:\PS> $MSExchangeGroup += $MSExchangeServer03

PS C:\PS> Set-VBRFailoverPlan -FailoverPlan $MSExchangePlan -FailoverPlanObject $MSExchangeGroup -Description "Failover plan for the mail servers group: UPDATED"

Example 2

Run Set-VBRFailoverPlan with the $failoverplan variable. Use the -PrefailoverCommand parameter to add the path to the script to the failover plan.

PS C:\PS> $failoverplan = Get-VBRFailoverPlan -Tenant $tenant -Name "ABC Company Failover Plan"

PS C:\PS> Set-VBRFailoverPlan -FailoverPlan $failoverplan -PrefailoverCommand "C:\Users\Administrator\TriggerEmailNotification.cmd"
