Suspend-VMReplication

Suspends replication of a virtual machine.

Syntax

Parameter Set: VMName
Suspend-VMReplication [-VMName] <String[]> [-ComputerName <String[]> ] [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: VMObject
Suspend-VMReplication [-VM] <VirtualMachine[]> [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: VMReplication
Suspend-VMReplication [-VMReplication] <VMReplication[]> [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Suspend-VMReplication cmdlet suspends, or pauses, replication of a virtual machine. To resume replication, use the Resume-VMReplication cmdlet to resume replication. When replication is resumed, all changes made since replication was suspended will be replicated.

Parameters

-ComputerName<String[]>

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which replication of a virtual machine is to be suspended. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully-qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer — use “localhost” or a dot (“.”) to specify the local computer explicitly.
