Stop-VMFailover

Stop-VMFailover

Stops failover of a virtual machine.

Syntax

Parameter Set: VMName
Stop-VMFailover [-VMName] <String[]> [-AsJob] [-ComputerName <String[]> ] [-PassThru] [ <CommonParameters>]

Parameter Set: VMObject
Stop-VMFailover [-VM] <VirtualMachine[]> [-AsJob] [-PassThru] [ <CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

The Stop-VMFailover cmdlet stops failover of a virtual machine. If the virtual machine is running, this cmdlet turns the virtual machine off and cancels failover. For a test failover, this cmdlet stops the test failover and deletes the test virtual machine. For a planned failover that has been started on a primary virtual machine, this cmdlet cancels that action and restarts replication, which allows you to start the primary virtual machine.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job.

Outputs

The output type is the type of the objects that the cmdlet emits.

Examples

Example 1

This example stops failover for a virtual machine named VM01.

PS C:\>  Stop-VMFailover VM01

Example 2

This example stops all running failovers for all the virtual machines on the local Hyper-V host.

PS C:\>  Stop-VMFailover *
