Resume-VMReplication

Resumes a virtual machine replication that is in a state of Paused, Error, Resynchronization Required, or Suspended.

Syntax

Parameter Set: VMName
Resume-VMReplication [-VMName] <String[]> [-AsJob] [-ComputerName <String[]> ] [-PassThru] [-Resynchronize] [-ResynchronizeStartTime <DateTime> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: VMObject
Resume-VMReplication [-VM] <VirtualMachine[]> [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [-Resynchronize] [-ResynchronizeStartTime <DateTime> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: VMReplication
Resume-VMReplication [-VMReplication] <VMReplication[]> [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [-Resynchronize] [-ResynchronizeStartTime <DateTime> ] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Resume-VMReplication cmdlet resumes replication of a virtual machine with a replication state of Paused, Error, Resynchronization Required, or Suspended.

Parameters

-AsJob

Specifies that the cmdlet is to be run as a background job.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ComputerName<String[]>

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which the virtual machine replication is to be resumed. 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.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	.
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-PassThru

Specifies that a VMReplication object is to be passed through to the pipeline representing the virtual machine replication to be resumed.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-Resynchronize

Specifies that resynchronization is to be started for the virtual machine. Resynchronization requires significant storage, processor, and network resources. We recommend running this process during off-peak hours. Use the Set-VMReplication cmdlet to specify whether to automatically resynchronize the virtual machine in the future.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-ResynchronizeStartTime<DateTime>

Specifies when resynchronization should start. If not specified, resynchronization starts immediately. You can schedule the resynchronization to start up to 7 days later.

Aliases	none
Required?	false
Position?	named
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	false
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-VM<VirtualMachine[]>

Specifies the virtual machine whose replication is to be resumed.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	1
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByValue)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

-VMName<String[]>

Specifies the name of the virtual machine whose replication is to be resumed.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	1
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByValue)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	true

-VMReplication<VMReplication[]>

Specifies a virtual machine replication object representing the virtual machine replication to be resumed.

Aliases	none
Required?	true
Position?	1
Default Value	none
Accept Pipeline Input?	true (ByValue)
Accept Wildcard Characters?	false

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

None by default; VMReplication if –PassThru is specified.

Examples

Example 1

This example resumes replication of virtual machine VM01.

PS C:\> Resume-VMReplication VM01

Example 2

This example resynchronizes replication of virtual machine VM01.

PS C:\> Resume-VMReplication VM01 -Resynchronize

Example 3

This example schedules the resynchronization of replication for virtual machine VM01 to start at 5:00 AM on August 1, 2012.

PS C:\> Resume-VMReplication VM01 –Resynchronize –ResynchronizeStartTime “8/1/2012 05:00 AM”

Example 4

This example resumes replication of all virtual machines for which replication is paused.
