Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
SourceObject	Specifies an array of vApps that you want to replicate.	Accepts the IVcdItem[] object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
OrganizationVdc	Specifies the organization VDC where replicas will be stored.	Accepts the CVcdOrganizationVdcItem[] object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet.	True	Named	False
GeneralStoragePolicy	Specifies the storage policy according to which the cmdlet will create replicas.	Accepts the CVcdOrgVdcStorageProfile object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet.	True	Named	False
Name	Specifies a name for the CDP policy.	String	False	Named	False
Description	Specifies a description for the CDP policy.	String	False	Named	False
ExcludedObject	Specifies an array of VM containers that you want to exclude from the CDP policy. You can exclude the following types of containers: Organization Organization VDC vApp	Accepts the IVcdItem[] object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet.	False	Named	False
SourceNetwork	For the network mapping functionality. Specifies an array of the production networks to which the vApps are connected. Note: The number of the source and the target networks must be the same.	Accepts the VBRvCDOrgVdcNetworkInfo[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRVCDOrgVdcNetworkInfo cmdlet.	False	Named	False
TargetNetwork	For the network mapping functionality. Specifies an array of the networks in the Disaster Recovery site. The replicated vApps will be connected to these networks. Note: The number of the source and the target networks must be the same.	Accepts the VBRvCDOrgVdcNetworkInfo[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRVCDOrgVdcNetworkInfo cmdlet.	False	Named	False
RepositorySeed	For the replica seeding functionality. Specifies the backup repository that keeps the full backups of vApps that you want to replicate.	Accepts the CBackupRepository object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet.	False	Named	False
OriginalVApp	For the replica mapping functionality. Specifies an array of production vApps for which you plan to use replica mapping. The CDP policy will map these vApps to the vApps in the disaster recovery site. Use the ReplicaVApp parameter to specify the vApps in the disaster recovery site.	Accepts the CVcdVappItem[] object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet.	False	Named	False
ReplicaVApp	For the replica mapping functionality. Specifies an array of vApps in the disaster recovery site. The cmdlet will map the production vApps to these vApps and will use these vApps as replicas. Use the OriginalVApp parameter to specify the vApps in the production site.	Accepts the CVcdVappItem[] object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet.	False	Named	False
SourceProxy	Specifies an array of the VMware CDP proxy in the production site that you want to assign to the CDP policy. Default: Automatic selection.	Accepts the VBRCDPProxy[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRCDPProxy cmdlet.	False	Named	False
TargetProxy	Specifies an array of the target VMware CDP proxies that you want to assign to the CDP policy. Default: Automatic selection.	Accepts the VBRCDPProxy[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRCDPProxy cmdlet.	False	Named	False
Suffix	Specifies the suffix that the cmdlet will add to the name of vApps replicated with CDP policies. Default: "_replica".	String	False	Named	False
CompressionLevel	Specifies the compression level for the replicated data: None: use this option if you do not want to enable data compression. Dedupe-friendly: use this option to set a dedupe-friendly compression level. Optimal: use this option to set an optimal compression level. High: use this option to set a high compression level. Extreme: use this option to set an extreme compression level. Default: Optimal.	VBRCompressionLevel	False	Named	False
NotificationOptions	Specifies notification options of the CDP policy.	Accepts the VBRNotificationOptions object. To create this object, run the New-VBRNotificationOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	False
RetentionOptions	Specifies retention settings.	Accepts the VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions object. To create this object, run the New-VBRCDPPolicyRetentionOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	False
GuestProcessingOptions	Specifies guest processing options.	Accepts the VBRReplicaApplicationProcessingOptions object. To create this object, run the New-VBRReplicaApplicationProcessingOptions cmdlet.	False	Named	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.

Output Object

The cmdlet returns the VBRvCDCDPPolicy object that defines settings of the CDP policy.

Examples

Creating Cloud Director CDP Policy

This example shows how to create a Cloud Director CDP policy.

$server = Get-VBRServer -Name "Cloud Server"

$vapp = Find-VBRvCloudEntity -Server $server -VApp

$organization = Find-VBRvCloudEntity -Server $server -OrganizationVdc

$policy = Find-VBRvCloudEntity -Server $server -StorageProfile -Name "Default Storage policy" | Where OrgVcdRef -eq $organization.VcdRef

Add-VBRvCDCDPPolicy -SourceObject $vapp -OrganizationVdc $organization -GeneralStoragePolicy $policy

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $server variable.
Run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet. Specify the Server and VApp parameters values. Save the result to the $vapp variable.
Run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet. Specify the Server and OrganizationVdc parameters values. Save the result to the $organization variable.
Run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet. Specify the Server, StorageProfile and Name parameters values. Save the result to the $policy variable.
Run the Add-VBRvCDCDPPolicy cmdlet. Set the $vapp variable as the SourceObject parameter value. Set the $organization variable as the OrganizationVdc parameter value. Set the $policy variable as the GeneralStoragePolicy parameter value.
