Starting Quick Migration of Cloud VM

This example shows how to start quick migration of the Cloud Director VM.

$restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint

$VM = Start-VBRvCloudInstantRecovery -RestorePoint $restorepoint[1]

Start-VBRvCloudQuickMigration -InstantRecovery $VM

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Save the result to the $restorepoint variable.
  2. Run the Start-VBRvCloudInstantRecovery cmdlet. Set the $restorepoint variable as the RestorePoint parameter value. Save the result to the $VM variable.
