Examples

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:

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

The Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary restore point (in our example, it is the second restore point in the array).
Run the Start-VBRvCloudQuickMigration cmdlet. Set the $VM variable as the InstantRecovery parameter value.
