Description

The Import-VMInitialReplication cmdlet imports initial replication files on a Replica server. It completes the initial replication of a virtual machine when external is used as the source of the files for initial replication.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Import-VMInitialReplication VM01 d:\VMImportLocation\VM01

This example imports the initial replication files for a virtual machine named VM01 from location d:\VMImportLocation\VM01.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-VMReplication | ForEach-Object {$path = "D:\OOBLoc\" + $_.VMName + "_" + $_.VMID; if (Test-Path $path -PathType Container) {Import-VMInitialReplication $_ $path}}

This example imports the initial replication files for a set of virtual machines using files located in D:\OOBLoc\

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-ComputerName

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which initial replication files are to be imported. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

Type:	String[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type:	PSCredential[]
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False

-Passthru

Indicates that this cmdlet returns a Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VirtualMachine object. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Path

Specifies the path of the initial replication files to import.

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

-VM

Specifies the virtual machine for which the initial replication files are to be imported.

Type:	VirtualMachine[]
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-VMName

Specifies the name of the virtual machine for which the initial replication files are to be imported.

Type:	String[]
Position:	0
Default value:	None
Required:	True
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-VMReplication

Specifies the virtual machine replication object for which initial replication files are to be imported.

Type:	VMReplication[]
Position:	0
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
