Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies an existing VMware cloud replication job.

Note

Consider the following:

  • The cmdlet will not run if the geographic location of the VMs added to the job and the target cloud host location do not match. If you still want to run the cmdlet, use the Force parameter.
  • To modify settings, specify new values for the necessary parameters. After you run this cmdlet, the previous settings will be rewritten with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.

Named

False

Description

Specifies the description of the new job.

String

False

Named

False

EnableNetworkMapping

Enables the network mapping. Use the SourceNetwork and the TargetNetwork parameters to set the network mapping rules.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

SourceNetwork

Used to set the source network for the EnableNetworkMapping parameter.

Specifies the production network to which VMs added to the job are connected.

Note: the number of the source and the target networks must be the same.

Accepts the VBRViNetworkInfo[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo cmdlet.

False

Named

False

TargetNetwork

Used to set the target network for the EnableNetworkMapping parameter.

Specifies the network in the DR site to which VM replicas must be connected.

Note: the number of the source and the target networks must be the same.

Accepts the VBRCloudServerNetworkInfo[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRCloudServerNetworkInfo cmdlet.

False

Named

False

SourceProxy

Specifies the source proxy that will be used by the job.

Default: automatic selection.

Accepts the CViProxy[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRViProxy cmdlet.

False

Named

False

UseWANAccelerator

Defines that the data must be transferred via WAN accelerators.

Use the SourceWANAccelerator parameter to set the WAN accelerator on the source side.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

SourceWANAccelerator

Specifies the WAN accelerator configured in the source site that will be used for data transfer.

Note: you can set the source WAN accelerator only if the cloud provider has a target WAN accelerator configured.

Accepts the CWanAccelerator object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRWANAccelerator cmdlet.

False

Named

False

SourceRepository

Used for building replica from backup files.

Specifies the backup repository that will be used to read the VM data from the already existing backup chain.

Accepts the CBackupRepository[] object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet.

False

Named

False

DiskType

Specifies the disks that you want to replicate: Source, Thick, Thin.

Default: Source.

EDiskCreationMode

False

Named

False

EnableSeeding

Defines if replica seeding must be used for the replication job.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

RepositorySeed

For replica seeding.

Specifies the backup repository on which a backup used as a seed for the replication job resides.

Accepts the CBackupRepository object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRBackupRepository cmdlet.

False

Named

True (ByValue,
ByProperty
Name)

EnableVMMapping

Enables the replication job to use replica mapping.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

OriginalVM

For replica mapping.

Specifies the production VM you want to replicate using replica mapping.

The replication job will map this VM to a selected replica VM on the DR site.

Use the ReplicaVM parameter to specify the replica VM on the DR site.

Accepts the CViVmItem[] object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRViEntity cmdlet.

False

Named

True (ByValue,
ByProperty
Name)

ReplicaVM

For replica mapping.

Specifies the VM on the DR site you want to use as the replication target. The replication job will map the production VM to this VM.

Use the OriginalVM parameter to specify the production VM.

Accepts the COib[] object. To create this object, run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet.

False

Named

True (ByValue,
ByProperty
Name)

Force

Defines that the cmdlet will modify the cloud replication job even if the geographic location of the VMs added to the job and the target cloud host location do not match.

SwitchParameter

False

Named

False

HighPriority

Note: This parameter is available starting from Veeam Backup & Replication 11a (build 11.0.1.1261).

False

<CommonParameters>

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

Examples

Changing Cloud Datastore for Cloud Replica Job

This example shows how to apply custom settings to the cloud replica job named Cloud Replica Job.

$job = Get-VBRJob –Name “Cloud Replica Job”

$cloudServer = Get-VBRCloudServer -Name 104.45.95.227

$NewCloudDatastore = Get-VBRCloudDatastore -CloudServer $cloudServer –Name “CDEDatastore”

Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob –Job $job –Datastore $NewCloudDatastore

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRJob cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the job to the $job variable.
  2. Run the Get-VBRCloudServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the server to the $cloudServer variable.
  3. Run the Get-VBRCloudDatastore cmdlet. Set the $cloudServer variable as the CloudServer parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the datastore to the $NewCloudDatastore variable.
  4. Run the Set-VBRViCloudReplicaJob cmdlet. Set the $job variable as the Job parameter value. Set the $NewCloudDatastore variable as the Datastore parameter value.
