Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup

  • Reference
Module:
DFSR

Suspends replication between computers regardless of schedule.

Syntax

Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup
       [-GroupName] <String[]>
       [-SourceComputerName] <String>
       [-DestinationComputerName] <String>
       [-DurationInMinutes] <UInt32>
       [-WhatIf]
       [-Confirm]
       [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup cmdlet suspends replication between computers, even if replication was scheduled by either a replication group or a connection.

This cmdlet ignores the schedule for a specified number of minutes. This is typically preferable to altering the schedule temporarily to prevent replication, because this cmdlet does not require Active Directory replication and LDAP polling.

Examples

Example 1: Suspend replication between servers

PS C:\> Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" -DurationInMinutes 15

This command suspends replication from server SRV01 to SRV02 in the RG01 replication group for 15 minutes, even if the replication happens during an open replication schedule.

Example 2: Suspend replication between servers with verbose output

PS C:\> Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup -GroupName "RG01" -SourceComputerName "SRV01" -DestinationComputerName "SRV02" -DurationInMinutes 5 -Verbose
VERBOSE: Performing operation "Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup" on Target "SRV01".
VERBOSE: The **Suspend-DfsReplicationGroup** cmdlet completed successfully.

This command suspends replication from server SRV01 to SRV02 in the RG01 replication group for 5 minutes, even if the replication happens during an open replication schedule, and displays output.

Parameters

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:cf
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DestinationComputerName

Specifies the name of the receiving computer. A destination computer is also called an inbound or downstream computer. This computer overrides its schedule and stops inbound replication.

Type:String
Aliases:ReceivingMember, RMem
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-DurationInMinutes

Specifies the number of minutes to suspend replication.

Type:UInt32
Aliases:Time
Position:3
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-GroupName

Specifies an array of names of replication groups. If you do not specify this parameter, the cmdlet queries for all participating replications groups. You can use a comma separated list and the wildcard character (*).

Type:String[]
Aliases:RG, RgName
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:True

-SourceComputerName

Specifies the name of the sending computer. A source computer is also called an outbound or upstream computer.

Type:String
Aliases:SendingMember, SMem
Position:1
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:wi
Position:Named
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
