Hi,
The following script is being used to provide a daily report on the state of SRM Protection Groups and, the VM's they protect.
Connect-viserver xxxxxxxxxxx
$srm = Connect-SrmServer #|out-null
$srmApi = $srm.ExtensionData
$protectionGroups = $srmApi.Protection.ListProtectionGroups()
$protectionGroups | % {
$protectionGroup = $_
$protectionGroupInfo = $protectionGroup.GetInfo()
$protectionGroupState = $protectionGroup.GetProtectionState()
$recoveryPlanName = $protectionGroup.ListRecoveryPlans().GetInfo().Name
# The following command lists the virtual machines associated with a protection group
$protectedVms = $protectionGroup.ListProtectedVms()
$protectedVms | % { $_.Vm.UpdateViewData() }
$protectedVms | %{
$output = "" | select PgName, PgState, RpName, VmName, VmState
$output.PgName = $protectionGroupInfo.Name
$output.PgState = $protectionGroupState
$output.RpName = $recoveryPlanName
$output.VmName = $_.Vm.Name
$output.VmState = $protectedVms.State
$output
}
} | Format-Table @{Label="Protection group name"; Expression={$_.PgName}},
@{Label="Protection group state"; Expression={$_.PgState}},
@{Label="RecoveryPlan Name"; Expression={$_.RpName}},
@{Label="VM Name"; Expression={$_.VmName} },
@{Label="VM State"; Expression={$_.VmState}} # | sort "Protection Group Name"
In testing, I've noticed two issues with the results provided by the above.
- The Protection Group State (PgState) returned is either
Even if I intentionally break the Protection by adding a CD-Drive or moving a .vmdk to non-replicated storage, the returned State is Ready or Shadowing despite the Web Client showing the Status of Not Configured
2. The VM State (VmState) returned is
Again, if I add a CD-Drive or change .vmdk locations, Returned State is Ready or, Shadowing, despite the Web Client showing a Protection Status of Device not found, CD/DVD Drive x
Am I looking at the correct properties in the above to return the information I'm trying to get back ?
A Summary of my environment is
- SRM Version 5.8.1
- PowerShell Version 5.0.10586.117
- PowerCLI Version 6.5
- SRM API Version 3.0
Thanks
