### Stopping Migration Sessions Launched During Instant Recovery

This example shows how to stop a running migration session launched during Instant Recovery.

```
$session = Get-VBRInstantRecoveryMigration
Stop-VBRInstantRecoveryMigration -Migration $session[3]
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRInstantRecoveryMigration`](get-vbrinstantrecoverymigration.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$session` variable.

   The [`Get-VBRInstantRecoveryMigration`](get-vbrinstantrecoverymigration.md) cmdlet will return an array of migration sessions. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary migration session (in our example, it is the fourth migration session in the array).

2. Run the `Stop-VBRInstantRecoveryMigration` cmdlet. Set the `$session[3]` variable as the `Migration` parameter value.
