Start-SpbmReplicationReverse Command | Vmware PowerCLI Reference

Start-SpbmReplicationReverse

This cmdlet initiates reverse replication, by making the currently failed over replication group the source and its peer replication group the target. The devices in the replication group will start getting replicated to this new target site, which was the source before the failover.

Syntax

Start-SpbmReplicationReverse
-ReplicationGroup < SpbmReplicationGroup[] >
[-RunAsync ]
[-Server < VIServer[] > ]

Parameters

Required Parameter Name Type Position Features Description
required
ReplicationGroup SpbmReplicationGroup[] named
  • pipeline
  • wildcards

Examples

Example 1

Start-SpbmReplicationReverse -ReplicationGroup $targetRg

Reverses the direction of replication for $targetRg target replication group. The $targetRg replication group becomes the source replication group and the corresponding source replication group becomes the target replication group.
