NAME

Pause-DcsReplication

SYNOPSIS

Temporarily stops data transfers from the local (active) virtual disk in a replication. This operation can also be performed on a virtual disk group.

SYNTAX

Pause-DcsReplication   -Replication <Object>   [ -Connection <String> ]   [ -PipelineVariable <String> ]

Pause-DcsReplication   -VirtualDiskGroup <Object>   [ -Connection <String> ]   [ -PipelineVariable <String> ]

DESCRIPTION

Temporarily stops data transfers from the active virtual disk in a replication. This operation can also be performed on a virtual disk group. In order to start data transfers again, the replication must be resumed, see Resume-DcsReplication.

PARAMETERS

-Replication<Object>

AsyncReplicationData object, VirtualDiskData object, Async Replication ID, virtual disk name, or virtual disk ID that identifies the active virtual disk in the replication. The active virtual disk must be a local virtual disk for the connection. The AsyncReplicationData object can be obtained with Get-DcsReplication and the VirtualDiskData object can be obtained with Get-DcsVirtualDisk.

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 pause the replication data transfer 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 : The AsyncReplicationData object describes the replication relationship and can be used to identify the virtual disk. The VirtualDiskData object can also be used to identify the active (local) virtual disk in the replication.

OUTPUTS

AsyncReplicationData : Object that identifies and describes the replication relationship.

NOTES

Also see Resume-DcsReplication, Get-DcsReplication, Get-DcsVirtualDisk, Get-DcsVirtualDiskGroup.
