NAME

Enable-DcsReplicationTestMode

SYNOPSIS

Enables replication test mode for a local standby virtual disk.

SYNTAX

Enable-DcsReplicationTestMode   -Replication <Object>   [ -Connection <String> ]   [ -PipelineVariable <String> ]

Enable-DcsReplicationTestMode   -VirtualDiskGroup <Object>   [ -Connection <String> ]   [ -PipelineVariable <String> ]

DESCRIPTION

Enables replication test mode for a local standby virtual disk. Test mode temporarily activates the standby (destination) virtual disk which temporarily enables all host paths on the standby side. In test mode, users can ensure that paths are correctly configured and hosts have read/write access to the virtual disk. Warning: Test mode can take a considerable amount of time, uses storage allocation overhead, and can affect performance. Do not enable test mode during a disaster. Disable test mode when testing is complete, see Disable-DcsReplicationTestMode. Data changes on the standby virtual disk made during test mode are temporary and will be deleted when test mode is disabled.

PARAMETERS

-Replication<Object>

AsyncReplicationData object, VirtualDiskData object, Async Replication ID, virtual disk name, or virtual disk ID that identifies the standby (destination) virtual disk in the replication. The standby virtual disk must be in the local server group. The AsyncReplicationData object can be obtained from Get-DcsReplication.

Required: true

Position: 1

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: true (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters: false

-Connection<String>

Alias of the connection to the server group. If not specified, the default connection is used.

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-PipelineVariable<String>

Required: false

Position: named

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

-VirtualDiskGroup<Object>

VirtualDiskGroupData object, name or ID that identifies a virtual disk group. Use this parameter to enable test mode for all eligible virtual disks in the virtual disk group. Eligibility may not apply to all virtual disks in the group. The VirtualDiskGroupData object can be obtained with Get-DcsVirtualDiskGroup.

Required: true

Position: 1

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: false

Accept wildcard characters: false

INPUTS

AsyncReplicationData or VirtualDiskData : Object that identifies the standby virtual disk in a replication.

OUTPUTS

AsyncReplicationData : Object that identifies and describes the relationship between the Active (source) and standby (destination) virtual disks in the replication.
