NAME

Reverse-DcsReplication

SYNOPSIS

Reverses the direction of the data transfer between virtual disks used in a replication. This operation can also be performed on a virtual disk group.

SYNTAX

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

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

DESCRIPTION

Reverses the direction of the data transfer between virtual disks used in a replication. This operation can also be performed on a virtual disk group. The current active virtual disk will be deactivated, and the current standby virtual disk will be activated. Paths from the client to the current source will be disabled, and paths from the client to the new source will be enabled.

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. This virtual disk will be deactivated. The AsyncReplicationData object can be obtained with Get-DcsReplication and the VirtualDiskData object can be obtained with Get-DcsVirtualDiskData.

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 reverse the replication direction 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 identifies and describes the replication relationship. The VirtualDiskData object identifies and describes the current active virtual disk in the replication.

OUTPUTS

AsyncReplicationData : Object that identifies the replication relationship.
