Examples

Example 1: Start a commit failover job

PS C:\> $Container = Get-AzureSiteRecoveryProtectionContainer 
PS C:\> $Protected = Get-AzureSiteRecoveryProtectionEntity -ProtectionContainer $Container 
PS C:\> Start-AzureSiteRecoveryCommitFailoverJob -ProtectionEntity $Protected
ID               : c38eecdc-731c-405b-a61c-08db99aae2fe
ClientRequestId  : 32ace403-0916-4967-83a1-529176bd6e88-2014-49-06 15:49:24Z-P
State            : NotStarted
StateDescription : NotStarted
StartTime        : 
EndTime          : 
AllowedActions   : {}
Name             : 
Tasks            : {}
Errors           : {}

The first command gets all protected containers for the current Azure Site Recovery vault by using the Get-AzureSiteRecoveryProtectionContainer cmdlet, and then stores the results in the $Container variable.

The second command gets the protected virtual machines that belong to the container stored in $Container by using the Get-AzureSiteRecoveryProtectionEntity cmdlet. The command stores the results in the $Protected variable.

The final command starts the failover job for the protected objects stored in $Protected.
