Unprotecting virtual machines

You can remove a virtual machine from a protection group using the Unprotect-SrmVM function in the Meadowcroft.SRM module. The syntax of the Unprotect-SrmVM function is as follows:

Unprotect-SrmVM [-ProtectionGroup] <SrmProtectionGroup> [[-Vm] 
    <VirtualMachineImpl>] [[-VmView] <VirtualMachine>] [[-ProtectedVm] 
    <SrmProtectionGroupProtectedVm>] [<CommonParameters>]

The -ProtectionGroup parameter is required.

In the following example, we will unprotect VM1 and remove it from the Protected VMs Protection Group using the Unprotect-SrmVM function from the Meadowcroft.SRM module, with the following command:

PowerCLI C:\> Unprotect-SrmVM -ProtectionGroup $Srm
    ProtectionGroup -VmView $VmView

The output of the preceding command is as follows:

Key           : dr.replication.VmProtectionGroup.unprotectVms
TaskMoRef     : Task-dr.replication.VmProtectionGroup.unprotectVms59
