Methods

The Msvm_ReplicationService class has these methods.

Method Description
AddAuthorizationEntry Adds an authorization entry to a server.
ChangeReplicationModeToPrimary Changes the extended replication relationship to the primary relationship for a replica virtual machine. The replica virtual machine must be in a failover committed state.
Windows 8.1: This method is not supported until Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
CommitFailover Commits the recovery snapshot that the InitiateFailover method has used for a failover.
CreateReplicationRelationship Creates a new replication relationship for a virtual machine.
GetReplicationStatistics Retrieves replication statistics for a virtual machine.
GetReplicationStatisticsEx Retrieves the replication statistics that are associated with specified replication relationship of the virtual machine.
Windows 8.1: This method is not supported until Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
GetSystemCertificates Retrieves the system certificates on a host system.
ImportInitialReplica Imports the initial replication for a virtual machine.
InitiateFailback Initiates the failback for a recovery virtual machine. That is, sets the failover for the virtual machine to an app or crash consistent image.
Windows 8.1: This method is not supported until Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
InitiateFailover Initiates a failover for a virtual machine to an application or standard replication point image.
ModifyAuthorizationEntry Modifies an authorization entry on a server.
ModifyReplicationSettings Modifies the replication settings for a virtual machine.
ModifyServiceSettings Modifies the settings for the Hyper-V Replica service.
RemoveAuthorizationEntry Removes the authorization entry from a server.
RemoveReplicationRelationship Removes a virtual machine replication relationship.
RemoveReplicationRelationshipEx Removes the specified virtual machine replication relationship. For a replica virtual machine, primary replication can't be removed if extended replication is enabled.
Windows 8.1: This method is not supported until Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
RequestStateChange Requests a state change.
ResetReplicationStatistics Resets the replication statistics for a virtual machine.
ResetReplicationStatisticsEx Resets replication statistics that are associated with the specified replication relationship of a virtual machine.
Windows 8.1: This method is not supported until Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Resynchronize Performs a resynchronization operation on the specified virtual machine.
ReverseReplicationRelationship Replicates a failed-over virtual machine back to the primary server.
RevertFailover Reverts the current failover for a virtual machine by discarding the current failover disk.
SetAuthorizationEntry Sets the replication authorization entry for a virtual machine.
SetFailoverNetworkAdapterSettings Configures the network adapter's IP settings to be applied to a virtual machine after a failover.
StartReplication Starts the replication of a virtual machine.
StartService Starts the service.
StopService Stops the service.
TestReplicaSystem Creates a new replica of a virtual machine with the specified snapshot for testing purposes.
TestReplicationConnection Verifies if the replication can be enabled from the current host system to the specified recovery system.
