Description

The Start-AzureSiteRecoveryUnplannedFailoverJob cmdlet starts the unplanned failover of an Azure Site Recovery protection entity or recovery plan. You can check whether the job succeeds by using the Get-AzureSiteRecoveryJob cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1: Start an unplanned failover job

PS C:\> $ProtectionContainer = Get-AzureSiteRecoveryProtectionContainer
PS C:\> $ProtectionEntity = Get-AzureSiteRecoveryProtectionEntity -ProtectionContainer $ProtectionContainer 
PS C:\> Start-AzureSiteRecoveryUnplannedFailoverJob -ProtectionEntity $ProtectionEntity -Direction "PrimaryToRecovery"
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 a protected container by using the Get-AzureSiteRecoveryProtectionContainer cmdlet, and then stores it in the $ProtectionContainer variable.

The second command gets the protected entities that belong to the protected container stored in $ProtectionContainer by using the Get-AzureSiteRecoveryProtectionEntity cmdlet. The command stores the results in the $ProtectionEntity variable.

The final command starts the failover for the protected entities stored in $ProtectionEntity and specifies the direction of the failover.
