Description

The Remove-VMReplication cmdlet removes the replication relationship of a virtual machine. Replication must be removed independently from both the primary and Replica virtual machines. Removing replication on a Replica virtual machine does not delete the Replica virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Remove-VMReplication VM01

This example removes the replication relationship of virtual machine VM01.

Example 2

PS C:\> Remove-VMReplication *

This example removes the replication relationships from all replica-enabled virtual machines on the local Hyper-V host.

Parameters

-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

-ComputerName

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which the replication relationship of a virtual machine is to be removed. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

-ReplicationRelationshipType

Specifies the replication relationship type of the virtual machine. Specify whether the replication relationship is a simple primary to replica or is an extended replication chain. The cmdlet removes the replication relationship of the virtual machines that have the replication type that you specify.
