Description
The Import-VMInitialReplication cmdlet imports initial replication files on a Replica server. It completes the initial replication of a virtual machine when external is used as the source of the files for initial replication.
Examples
Example 1
PS C:\>Import-VMInitialReplication VM01 d:\VMImportLocation\VM01
This example imports the initial replication files for a virtual machine named VM01 from location d:\VMImportLocation\VM01.
Example 2
PS C:\>Get-VMReplication | % {$path = "D:\OOBLoc\" + $_.VMName + "_" + $_.VMID; if (Test-Path $path -PathType Container) {Import-VMInitialReplication $_ $path}}
This example imports the initial replication files for a set of virtual machines using files located in D:\OOBLoc\
