Enabling Maintenance Mode for Performance Extents

This example shows how to enable the Maintenance mode for the performance extents.

$scaleoutrepository = Get-VBRBackupRepository -ScaleOut -Name "Amazon S3"

$extent = Get-VBRRepositoryExtent -Repository $scaleoutrepository

Enable-VBRRepositoryExtentMaintenanceMode -Extent $extent[2]

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value and provide the ScaleOut parameter. Save the result to the $scaleoutrepository variable.
  2. Run the Get-VBRRepositoryExtent cmdlet. Set the $scaleoutrepository variable as the Repository parameter value.Save the result to the $extent variable.

The Get-VBRRepositoryExtent cmdlet will return an array of extents. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary extent (in our example, it is the third extent in the array).

  1. Run the Enable-VBRRepositoryExtentMaintenanceMode cmdlet. Set the $extent variable as the Extent parameter value.
