Hi Luc,
The script is 99.99% there I think.
If I run the script on an individual Protection Group which I know to be in a ready state but with some unconfigured VM's, I get the expected results and no warnings from PowerCLI.
If I run the script against an individual Protection Group which I know to be Recovered but not Reprotected (so not in Ready State), I get the expected results and no warnings from PowerCLI.
If I run the script against all Protection Groups on the SRM Server, for the most part I do get the expected results but, I also get warnings from PowerCLI.
Some of the unexpected results are
- Recovery Plan Name is displayed as "System.Object[]"
I've tested the script individually on the specific Protection Group giving this error and all variables are correct, even $RecoveryPlan.GetInfo().Name gives the correct result. I suspect the output in the array may have something to do with how the Recovery Plan Name is formatted within SRM itself - another Protection Group returns "True" for $VmNeedsSrmConfig.needsconfiguration. I've gone over the Protection Group and Recovery Plan multiple times, I cannot see any issues. I've edited the plans, reset them, etc... but still get an unexpected "True" result. We're using ABR so I've asked the Storage Team to check from their side.
