The virtual disk must be a local virtual disk for the connection. This virtual disk will receive the checkpoint marker used to update the snapshot. The AsyncReplicationData object can be obtained with Get-DcsReplication and the VirtualDiskData object can be obtained with Get-DcsVirtualDiskData.

Default value:

Accept pipeline input: true (ByValue)

Accept wildcard characters: false
