Have to uncheck "Keep the application group running after the job completes" while creating app group via Powershell

[Leo0601]

Hi Experts,

I am creating an application group for surebackup job via PowerShell. Its creating successfully.

By default, "Keep the application group running after the job completes" was selected. I wanted to uncheck the option via powershell.

This option enables performing additional manual verification or user-directed application item recovery for virtual machines in this application group.

Could someone please let me know how to uncheck the respected option?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards
Leo

Hi Leo

Have you tried?

Code: Select all

$job = Get-VBRSureBackupJob -Name "SureBackup Job"
Set-VBRSureBackupJob -Job $job -KeepApplicationGroupRunning $False

Best,
Fabian

Hi Mildur,

Thanks much for the reply.

I have added your code to my script end .

I am getting an error like Set-VBRSureBackupJob : A positional parameter cannot bind that accepts argument 'False'.

Guess I am doing something. Could you please let me know?

I am waiting for your reply.

Code: Select all

$jobname = $x.JobName
        if ($jobname.Contains("Production_"+$app) -or $jobname.Contains("Test_"+$app)) {
            Write-host "Creating Job for Jobname:" $jobname
            $backup = Get-VBRBackup -name $jobname
            #$rp = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select -First 1 #get newest restore point for machine
            
            $vmNames = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup | Select-Object -ExpandProperty VMName | Select-Object -Unique
            
            $vmlist = @()
            $surebacklist = @()
            Foreach ($vm in $vmNames) {
                $rp = Get-VBRRestorePoint -Backup $backup -Name $vm | Sort-Object -Property CreationTime -Descending | Select -First 1 #get newest restore point for machin
                $surebacklist += New-VBRSureBackupVM -RestorePoint $rp
            }
            
            #$newSbVm = New-VBRSureBackupVM -RestorePoint $rp
    Write-host "Creating Application Group. Name:" $jobname
    $appGroup = Add-VBRApplicationGroup -Name $jobname -VM $surebacklist
    $surebackupjobname = $jobname+"_Surebackup"
    Write-host "Creating Sure Backup Job. Name:" $surebackupjobname
    $surebackupjob = Add-VBRSureBackupJob -ApplicationGroup $appGroup -VirtualLab $vlab -Name $surebackupjobname
    Set-VBRSureBackupJob -job $surebackupjob -KeepApplicationGroupRunning $False

Try this instead

Code: Select all

 Set-VBRSureBackupJob -job $surebackupjob -KeepApplicationGroupRunning:$False

Hi Ben,

Thanks much for the reply. Your code is working fine. Given thumbs up for your reply.

Now Its unchecking the "Keep the application group running after the job completes" option.

But still our surebackup job is failing. We suspected it was because of those settings. Still its failing even after unchecked.

Anything else I have to make the change in my code, could you please let me know?

It would be great if you help me to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

What is the actual error message? No one can really assist without that detail.

Hi Houghes

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, sure, I will share the error message.

I checked the report of the sureback job. I was getting the below 2 errors.

* Disabling firewall
* Operation is not valid due to current state of the object

Firewall was enabled in the destination server, which I am trying to take the surebackup job
