The following sample script will create a simple full server to Hyper-V job. You will need to modify this script to fit your environment and configuration. If your source or target is a cluster, additional parameters must be added.
Be sure and expand your screen wide enough so that lines in the script file do not wrap.
# Sample script to create a simple full server to Hyper-V job
# Specify the variables to be used in the script
# Source server and credentials $DtSourceName = "alpha" $DtSourceUserName = "domain\administrator" $DtSourcePassword = "password"
# Target server and credentials $DtTargetName = "beta" $DtTargetUserName = "domain\administrator" $DtTargetPassword = "password"
# Type of workload you will be protecting and type of job you will be creating $DtWorkloadType = "VRA" $DtJobType = "VRA"
# Import the Double-Take PowerShell module # This may be \Service\ or \Console\ depending on your installation Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Vision Solutions\Double-Take\Console\DoubleTake.PowerShell.dll"
# Create source and target objects $DtSource = New-DtServer -Name $DtSourceName -UserName $DtSourceUserName -Password $DtSourcePassword $DtTarget = New-DtServer -Name $DtTargetName -UserName $DtTargetUserName -Password $DtTargetPassword
# Create a workload $DtWorkloadGUID = New-DtWorkload -ServiceHost $DtSource -WorkloadTypeName $DtWorkloadType
# Determine what you want to protect # Get the logical items associated with the workload $DtLogicalItems = Get-DtLogicalItem -ServiceHost $DtSource -WorkloadId $DtWorkloadGUID # Add each logical item available on the server, for example, each volume on the server $DtProtectionItem = @() foreach ($item in $DtLogicalItems) { $DtProtectionItem += Set-DtLogicalItemSelection -ServiceHost $DtSource -WorkloadId $DtWorkloadGuid -LogicalPath $item.Path } # Get the workload definition including the workload and logical items $DtWorkload = Get-DtWorkload -ServiceHost $DtSource -WorkloadId $DtWorkloadGUID
# Get the default job options that will be used to create the job $DtJobOptions = Get-DtRecommendedJobOptions -ServiceHost $DtTarget -Source $DtSource -JobType $DtJobType -Workload $DtWorkload
# Create the job $DtJobGuidForHVRA = New-DtJob -ServiceHost $DtTarget -Source $DtSource -JobType $DtJobType -JobOptions $DtJobOptions.JobOptions
# Start the job Start-DtJob -ServiceHost $DtTarget -JobId $DtJobGuidForHVRA
# Close the connections for the server objects Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtSource Disconnect-DtServer -ServiceHost $DtTarget |
If you want to hide your user credentials in your script, use the Windows PowerShell Get-Credential cmdlet. The password will not be visible because Windows stores an encrypted password. See Hiding your password in a PowerShell script for basic details on using this cmdlet. See your Windows PowerShell documentation for detailed instructions.
