Change the VM name in Powershell

Post by esir »

I am trying to restore a backup from Veeam to Azure. I can be able to do this from the Veeam Backup and Replication application. I have to however change the name of a VM machine to less than 15 characters for it to work. I want to achieve the same using Powershell. The following command returns the restore point I need but I now need to change its VM name

Code: Select all

$restore_point = Get-VBRRestorePoint | Select -Last 1
returns a VM with a name greater than 15 letters as required by Azure. Is there a way to set

Code: Select all

$restore_point.VmName
to something new less than 15 characters??

To restore VM to Azure and set a new name to it you need to use Start-VBRVMRestoreToAzure cmdlet along with its -VMName parameter. Thanks!
