Can Start-VBRInstantRecovery be used without resource pools?

[lrhazi]

When I run this command, it tells me I need a resource pool, but we do not use those! or am I missing something else in my command?

Code: Select all

PS D:\Scripts\veeam-restore-testing> Start-VBRInstantRecovery -VMName $VM_NAME_RESTORED -RestorePoint $restorepoint -Server $server -NICsEnabled $false -PowerUp $true -RunAsync $true

Start-VBRInstantRecovery : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'ResourcePool'. The argument is null. Provide a valid value for the argument, and then try 
running the command again.

Hello,
looks like an issue for me. It works fine for me if I remove "-NICsEnabled $false -PowerUp $true -RunAsync $true"

As a quick workaround, I suggest to create a resource pool.

I will come back on this once I have a definite answer.

Best regards,
Hannes

Thanks a lot! It works for me with these options:

PS D:\Scripts\veeam-restore-testing> Start-VBRInstantRecovery -VMName $VM_NAME_RESTORED -RestorePoint $restorepoint -Server $server -RunAsync -PowerUp

looks I was a bit blind yesterday... it works fine if " " (space) between parameter and value is replaced by ":" (colon)

Code: Select all

 Start-VBRInstantRecovery -VMName $VM_NAME_RESTORED -RestorePoint $restorepoint -Server $server -NICsEnabled:$false -PowerUp:$true -RunAsync:$true
