Description

The Mount-SRDestination cmdlet mounts a snapshot of replicated storage temporarily for testing or backup purposes. Storage Replica dismounts the destination volume when replication begins. Mounting the destination storage is called test failover.

Test failover requires an unused NTFS or ReFS formatted volume that isn't currently being replicated.

Examples

Example 1: Mount a snapshot of replicated storage

Mount-SRDestination -ComputerName "SR-SRV05" -Name "ReplicationGroup01" -TemporaryPath T:\

This command sets up test failover for the replication group on the specified computer.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.

Type:SwitchParameter
Position:Named
Default value:False
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.

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

-ComputerName

Specifies a single replica host computer NetBIOS name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN). The default value is the local computer.

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

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

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

-Force

Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.

Type:SwitchParameter
Aliases:F
Position:100
Default value:False
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-Name

Specifies the name of the replication group for which this cmdlet mounts destination storage.

Type:String
Aliases:N
Position:2
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True

-TemporaryPath

Specifies the path of the test failover volume. This volume must be an unused NTFS or ReFS formatted volume that isn't currently replicating.

Type:String
Aliases:D
Position:3
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type:Int32
Position:Named
Default value:0
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-WhatIf
