Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates Cloud Director replication jobs.

Note that when you create a Cloud Director replication jobs, you need to run it manually unless you enable a job schedule.

Run the Start-VBRvCDReplicaJob cmdlet to run the job manually.

Examples

Creating VDC Replication Job

This example shows how to create the vCD_05j VDC replication job to replicate the AvP04 vApp to the Org07 organization VDC.

$vapp = Find-VBRvCloudEntity -Name "AvP04" -VApp

$orgvdc = Find-VBRvCloudEntity -Name "Org07" -OrganizationVdc

Add-VBRvCDReplicaJob -SourceObject $vapp -OrganizationVdc $orgvdc -Name "vCD_05j" -Description "AvP04 replica"

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $vapp variable.
  2. Run the Find-VBRvCloudEntity cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Provide the OrganizationVdc parameter. Save the result to the $orgvdc variable.
  3. Run the Add-VBRvCDReplicaJob cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
  • Set the $vapp variable as the SourceObject parameter value.
  • Set the $orgvdc variable as the OrganizationVdc parameter value.
  • Specify the Name parameter value.
  • Specify the Description parameter value.
