Detailed Description
The Start-ProductionServerSwitchProtection cmdlet is used to switch protection of a data source between the primary DPM server and the (Secondary DPM Server) disaster recovery server.
This cmdlet is used in two scenarios:
A) The primary DPM server crashes and you want to continue protection of your data sources. In this scenario, the cmdlet is executed on the secondary DPM server to directly protect data sources on the protected server using the Secondary DPM server.
B) The primary server is restored and can resume protecting the data source again. In this scenario, the cmdlet needs to be executed twice. Once on the primary DPM server, to switch protection of the data source and begin to directly protect it. Next on the Secondary DPM server, to restore protection of the primary DPM server.
The valid values for ProtectionType are protectfromps and protectfromdpm.
