Do not power on vm after failover

Post by dcd62 »

I'm running a script to perform the failover but I don't want the replicated vm to power up after it has failed over. Is there an option to set for that or does it have to be powered down in a post script?

Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name $VM | Sort-Object $_.creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1 | Start-VBRViReplicaFailover -Reason "Configuration recovery" -RunAsync -Definite -Confirm: $true

thanks

Hi dcd62,
It might be a silly question but why you need a replication then? I’d use a combination of backup and instant recovery operations for a case like yours.

Hi, We are replicating VMware VM build templates to different locations and do not want the vm in a powered on state.
thanks

But if you're just replicating templates, why do you want to failover them? Thanks.
