Run the Start-VBRHvReplicaFailback cmdlet to fail back to the Hyper-V production VM.

Parameters

Parameters
Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Force	Defines that the replica job starts running without waiting for the target host to power off. Otherwise the replica job will start only after the target host is powered off.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
RestorePoint	Specifies the restore point of the production VM to recover to. Accepts the `COib` object. To get this object, run the `Get-VBRRestorePoint` cmdlet.	`COib`	True	0	True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
RunAsync	Defines that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False
Confirm	Defines that the cmdlet displays a prompt that asks if the user is sure that they want to continue. Note: Microsoft PowerShell enables the `Confirm` parameter for this cmdlet by default. To disable this option, set the parameter value to `$false`. That is, `Confirm:$false`.	`SwitchParameter`	False	Named	False

Examples

Stop-VBRReplicaFailover Example 1. Stopping Failover [Using Pipeline]

This command stops failover process by reverting to the production VM.

Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name "WebServer_replica" | Sort-Object $_.creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1 | Stop-VBRReplicaFailover -Reason "Configuration recovery" -RunAsync -Force

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Filter the restore points with the Sort-Object method by the creationtime property to get the most recent one.
Pipe the cmdlet output to the Stop-VBRReplicaFailover cmdlet. Specify the Reason parameter value. Provide the RunAsync and Force parameters.

Stop-VBRReplicaFailover Example 2. Stopping Failover [Using Variable]

This command stops failover process by reverting to the production VM.

$replica_restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name "WebServer_replica"

Stop-VBRReplicaFailover -RestorePoint $replica_restorepoint[1] -Reason "Data recovery" -RunAsync

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $replica_restorepoint variable.
Run the Stop-VBRReplicaFailover cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
- Set the $replica_restorepoint variable as the RestorePoint parameter value.
  The Get-VBRRestorePoint cmdlet will return an array of restore points. Consider that the array numbering starts with 0. In our example, the second restore point is used.
- Specify the Reason parameter value.
- Provide the RunAsync parameter.
