Script to disable "connect at power on" on the replica

[dcd62]

I'm trying to find the job setting or a post job script to disable the NIC's "connect at power on" on the replica. I do not want the replica's NIC to be enabled.
thanks

Hello,
what do you think about using VMware powercli? Because a failover just starts a VM.

Code: Select all

Set-NetworkAdapter -Connected:$false -Confirm:$false

Best regards,
Hannes

Neither replication job nor replication failover has "Connect VM to network" as configurable setting, so, there is no way to modify it via Veeam PowerShell Snap-in. So, PowerCLI proposed by Hannes seems like the only option. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. The problem is we re-run the replication job each night to keep them in sync until we failover to the replica (using this for v2v migrations). So if I set it on the replica, it will be overwrite after each job.

If I create a script and set it to "Run the following script after the job",so it's set after each run, how do I pass it the vm name?

thanks again.

You might set vm names as static values, if the list of replicated VMs does not change much.

Otherwise, you can use Get-VBRJobObject cmdlet to get replication job source objects. The objects will have name property.

Thanks!

I know it's an old post, but in case anyone else ends up here looking for an answer like me -

Using the code described by tsightler at the link below works on a pre or post script to get a list of VM's in the running job.
powershell-f26/powershell-cmd-let-to-ge ... 64181.html

Starting with that script and then feeding the list of VM's into PowerCLI your pre or post script can help you manipulate VM's in vcenter.
