ASR - How do you get a list of all the VMs in a Recovery Plan with powershell ?

Question

I can get a recovery plan with powershell :

$RecoveryPlan = Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrRecoveryPlan | where {$_.name -eq $rpName}

-- But how do I get a list of all the VMs in this plan with powershell? thanks

Answer 1

Try the following:

# Get the Recovery Plan
$recoveryPlan = Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrRecoveryPlan -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -VaultName $vaultName -Name $rpName

# Loop through each replication protection container in the Recovery Plan
foreach ($containerId in $recoveryPlan.ReplicationProtectionContainers) {
    # Get the protected items (VMs) in each replication protection container
    $protectedItems = Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrReplicationProtectedItem -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -VaultName $vaultName -ProtectionContainerId $containerId.Id

    # Display information about each protected item
    foreach ($item in $protectedItems) {
        Write-Host "VM Name: $($item.FriendlyName)"
        Write-Host "VM ID: $($item.Id)"
        Write-Host "-------------------------"
    }
}

I found an article here, https://00shep.blogspot.com/2019/07/azure-script-audit-recovery-plans-for.html and borrowed some of the code.

`$RecoveryPlan = Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrRecoveryPlan | where {$_.name -eq $rpName

#get all replicated items $ReplicationProtectedItem = Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrReplicationProtectedItem -ProtectionContainer $PrimaryProtContainer #Array to house the protected items it plan $ObjectArray = New-Object System.Collections.Generic.List[System.Object] foreach($group in $plandetails.Groups) { foreach ($groupprotecteditem in $group.ReplicationProtectedItems) { $VMmatch = Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrProtectableItem -ProtectionContainer $asrcontainer | where { $.ProtectionStatus -eq 'Protected' -and $.ReplicationProtectedItemId -eq $groupprotecteditem.id} | Select -expand FriendlyName
$tempArray = New-Object System.Object $tempArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "VMName" -Value $VMmatch $tempArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "RecoveryPlan" -Value $recoveryplan $tempArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "Group" -Value $group.name $tempArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "ProtectedItem" -Value $groupprotecteditem $tempArray | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "ID" -Value $groupprotecteditem.id $ObjectArray.add($tempArray) } }

#$ObjectArray gives IDs - get the IDs and compare to Names in $replicateditems. $planVMs= @() foreach ($obObject in $ObjectArray.id) { $row = "" | select "VMNAME","ID" $obid = ($obObject -split "/")[14] $vm = ($ReplicationProtectedItem | where {$_.name -eq $obid}).FriendlyName $row."VMNAME" = $vm $row."ID" = $obid $planVMs += $row } and the result of $planVMs is $planVMs VMNAME ID
