Instant VM Recovery Issue

[datacomm]

I am trying to use the following code to perform an instant VM recover:

Code: Select all

$restorepoint = Get-VBRRestorePoint -name "MyServer01" | Sort-Object $_.creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1; $server = Get-VBRServer -Name "hyperV01" | Where-Object {$_.Type -eq "HvServer"};Start-VBRInstantRecovery –RestorePoint $restorepoint -Server $server -PowerUp -Reason "Test recovery";

I am getting an error of this:

Code: Select all

Start-VBRInstantRecovery : Failed to process RestorePoint 5f295b2e-4ae9-4c69-96f6-9ea8b66e0ae2. Platform type EHyperV

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception,Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Cmdlets.StartVBRInstantRecovery

Any ideas why I would get this?

Try the Hyper-V cmdlet instead and see whether it helps: Start-VBRHvInstantRecovery. Thanks.

That worked thanks!

You're welcome, some cmdlets work differently for Hyper-V and vSphere platforms, because of that they are separated with specific prefixes: HV, VI. So, keep an eye on that. Thanks.
