Application group creation

[matteu]

Hello,

I want to share with you the script I use to create applications group

I use what I find here as base: https://vnote42.net/2021/12/22/scriptin ... orkaround/

Code: Select all

$AppGroupName = "App group Name"
[System.Collections.Generic.List[object]]$Collection = @(
    @{
        VM = 'VMName1'
        BackupJob= 'BackupJob1'
    },
    @{
        VM = 'VMName1'
        BackupJob= 'BackupJob2'
    },
    @{
        VM = 'VMName1'
        BackupJob= 'BackupJob1'
    }
)
#Startup settings
$AllocatedMemory = 100 
$EnableVMHeartbeatCheck = $false 
$EnableVMPingCheck = $false 
$MaximumBootTime = 600 
$ApplicationInitializationTimeout = 0 
$SbVMs = @()


$VSBOptParam = @{
    AllocatedMemory = $AllocatedMemory 
    EnableVMHeartbeatCheck = $EnableVMHeartbeatCheck 
    EnableVMPingCheck = $EnableVMPingCheck 
    MaximumBootTime = $MaximumBootTime 
    ApplicationInitializationTimeout = $ApplicationInitializationTimeout 
}

$VSBOpt = New-VBRSureBackupStartupOptions @VSBOptParam

foreach ($Item in $Collection)
{

    $TestVMObject = Find-VBRViEntity -Name $Item.VM
    $TestVMVbrJob = Get-VBRJob -Name $Item.BackupJob

    #Add VM object to backup job
    Add-VBRViJobObject -Job $TestVMVbrJob -Entities $TestVMObject

    #Get VM object from backup job
    $VbrJobObject = Get-VBRJobObject -Job $TestVMVbrJob -name $TestVMObject.Name | Where-Object {$_.type -eq "Include"}

    #Add Startup settings for the VM
    $SbVMs += New-VBRSureBackupVM -VM $VbrJobObject -StartupOptions $VSBOpt

    #Remove VM object from backup job
    Remove-VBRJobObject -Objects $VbrJobObject -Completely
}

#Create application group
$AppGroup = Add-VBRViApplicationGroup -Name $AppGroupName -VM $SbVMs


#Remove application group
#Get-VBRApplicationGroup -Name $AppGroupName | Remove-VBRApplicationGroup
