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.

Examples

Creating Cloud Director CDP Policy

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

$server = Get-VBRServer -Name "vCloud 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:

  1. Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $server variable.
  2. Run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet. Specify the Server and VApp parameters values. Save the result to the $vapp variable.
  3. Run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet. Specify the Server and OrganizationVdc parameters values. Save the result to the $organization variable.
  4. Run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet. Specify the Server, StorageProfile and Name parameters values. Save the result to the $policy variable.
  5. 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.
