set pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts for a vm

[karim]

hi,
i'm unable to find how to set pre-freeze and post-thaw scripts with powershell.
i tried this :

Code: Select all

$object = Get-VBRJob -Name "b_infras_3h" | Get-VBRJobObject -Name "DELLSTORMAN"
$vssobjoptions.VssSnapshotOptions.Enabled = $True
$vssobjoptions = Get-VBRJob -Name "b_infras_3h" |Get-VBRJobObject -Name "DELLSTORMAN" | Get-VBRJobObjectVssOptions
$vssobjoptions.GuestScriptsOptions.ScriptingMode = "FailJobOnError"
$vssobjoptions.GuestScriptsOptions.WinScriptFiles.PreScriptFilePath = "L:\Scripts\Windows\Backup_mssql.cmd"
$vssobjoptions.GuestScriptsOptions.WinScriptFiles.PostScriptFilePath = "L:\Scripts\Windows\Backup_databases.cmd"
Set-VBRJobObjectVssOptions -Options $vssobjoptions -Object $object

but after apply, i only find the script processing mode set to "Require successful script execution" but not script are set.

what i'm doing wrong?

thank you.

You are going to have to set it via a new WinScriptFiles object

Code: Select all

$object = Get-VBRJob -Name "b_infras_3h" | Get-VBRJobObject -Name "DELLSTORMAN"
$vssobjoptions.VssSnapshotOptions.Enabled = $True
$vssobjoptions = Get-VBRJob -Name "b_infras_3h" |Get-VBRJobObject -Name "DELLSTORMAN" | Get-VBRJobObjectVssOptions
$vssobjoptions.GuestScriptsOptions.ScriptingMode = "FailJobOnError"
$vssobjoptions.GuestScriptsOptions.WinScriptFiles = [Veeam.Backup.Model.CScriptFiles]::new( "L:\Scripts\Windows\Backup_mssql.cmd", "L:\Scripts\Windows\Backup_databases.cmd")
Set-VBRJobObjectVssOptions -Options $vssobjoptions -Object $object

Hi all,

I had the same problem when settings guestprocessing scripts via powershell. Unfortunately, it seems that the method "new" isn't availble to the WinScriptFiles object anymore. I'm running 9.5 U4 and was able to get that working with something like this:

Code: Select all

$scriptsobject=[Veeam.Backup.Model.CScriptFiles]::CreateDefault()
$scriptsobject.PreScriptFilePath="C:\Scripts\guestprocessing\db2\pre-freeze.cmd"
$scriptsobject.PostScriptFilePath="C:\Scripts\guestprocessing\db2\post-thaw.cmd"
$jobobjectvssoptions = Get-VBRJobObjectVssOptions -objectinjob <jobobject>
$jobobjectvssoptions.guestscriptsoptions.ScriptingMode="FailJobOnError"
$jobobjectvssoptions.guestscriptsoptions.winscriptfiles=$scriptsobject
Set-VBRJobObjectVssOptions -object $jobobject -options $jobobjectvssoptions

Glad that you got it working, but as far as I can tell you can still build a new [Veeam.Backup.Model.CScriptFiles] the same way as U3 (And I still am using it currently).
