Stop-VMInitialReplication

Stop-VMInitialReplication

Stops an ongoing initial replication.

Syntax

Parameter Set: VMName
Stop-VMInitialReplication [-VMName] <String[]> [-ComputerName <String[]> ] [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: VMObject
Stop-VMInitialReplication [-VM] <VirtualMachine[]> [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: VMReplication
Stop-VMInitialReplication [-VMReplication] <VMReplication[]> [-PassThru] [-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Stop-VMInitialReplication cmdlet stops an ongoing initial replication that uses either a virtual machine restored from backup or the network. It does not stop an initial replication that uses external media. For an initial replication that uses external media, you can use this cmdlet to stop the export, which returns the virtual machine to a pending state. After an export is finished, the initial replication cannot be stopped.

Parameters

-ComputerName<String[]>

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which an ongoing initial replication is to be stopped. 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.

<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug, -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, -OutBuffer, and -OutVariable. For more information, see    about_CommonParameters (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216).

Inputs

The input type is the type of the objects that you can pipe to the cmdlet.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

  • None by default; Microsoft.Virtualization.Powershell.VirtualMachine if –PassThru is specified.

Examples

Example 1

This example stops initial replication of a virtual machine named VM01.

PS C:\>  Stop-VMInitialReplication VM01

Example 2

This example stops initial replication of all virtual machines whose initial replication is in progress on the local Replica server.
