Use this option to specify the name of the deployment. It is required for a deploy after export only. |
-destinationcontainer |
The name of the Azure destination container you want to use for the deploy. |
-subscriptionid |
The Azure subscription ID. It is required for a deploy after export only. |
-cloudservicename |
The name of the Azure cloud service. It is required for a deploy after export only. |
-vmname |
The name of the virtual machine. It is required for a deploy after export only. |
-vmsize |
The size of the virtual machine; for example, A0 , , or Standard_G1 . |
-endpointname |
The Azure endpoint protocol used only for remote access rdp or ssh . The default value is rdp . It is required for a deploy after export only. |
-protocol |
The protocol used only for remote access tcp or udp . It is required for a deploy after export only. The default value is tcp . |
-publicremoteaccessport |
The public port for using remote access. The default value is 3389 . |
-privateremoteaccessport |
The private port for using remote access. The default value is 3389 . |
-privateagentport |
Optional. The Agent port. If the port value is 0, then the value is determined by the Agent configuration.
NOTE: If neither the parameter
-publicagentport nor -privateagentport is specified, then no endpoint is added. |
-publicagentport |
Optional. The external Agent port. If the port value is 0, then the value is determined by the Agent configuration.
NOTE: If neither the parameter
-publicagentport nor -privateagentport is specified, then no endpoint is added. |
-privatetransferport |
Optional. The TCP port upon which to accept connections from the Core for the transfer of data from the Agent. If the port value is 0, then the value is determined by the Agent configuration.
NOTE: If neither the parameter
-publictransferport nor -privatetransferport is specified, then no endpoint is added. |
-publictransferport |
Optional. The external TCP port upon which to accept connections from the Core for the transfer of data from the Agent. If the port value is 0, then the value is determined by the Agent configuration.
NOTE: If neither the parameter
-publictransferport nor -privatetransferport is specified, then no endpoint is added. |
-hypervgenerationtype |
Specifies virtual machine generation. Azure supports two generations of Hyper-V virtual machines: 1 and 2. |
Examples:
Export data to Azure:
>Start-AzureExport -core 10.10.10.10 -user administrator -password 23WE@#$sdd -protectedserver 10.10.5.22 -cloudaccountid "Cloud Account 1" -containername "mycontainer" -foldername "folder" -deploymentname Deploy1 -destinationcontainer container1 -subscriptionid "111111-22222-33333-4444-555555" -cloudservicename Service1 -vmname VirtualMachine -vmsize A0
Export data to Azure using a specified endpoint:
>Start-AzureExport -core 10.10.10.10 -user administrator -password 23WE@#$sdd -protectedserver 10.10.5.22 -cloudaccountid "Cloud Account 1" -containername "mycontainer" -foldername "folder" -deploymentname Deploy1 -destinationcontainer container1 -subscriptionid "111111-22222-33333-4444-555555" -cloudservicename Service1 -vmname VirtualMachine -vmsize A0 -endpointname ssh -protocol udp -publicremoteaccessport 1555 -privateremoteaccessport 22
Export data to Azure with a specified Agent endpoint when the -privateagentport
option uses the special value 0, which is taken from the Agent configuration. The -publicagentport
option has the user-defined value of 1888
:
>Start-AzureExport -core 10.10.10.10 -user administrator -password 23WE@#$sdd -protectedserver 10.10.5.22 -cloudaccountid "Cloud Account 1" -containername "mycontainer" -deploymentname Deploy1 -destinationcontainer container1 -subscriptionid "111111-22222-33333-4444-555555" -cloudservicename Service1 -vmname VirtualMachine -vmsize A0 -privateagentport 0 -publicagentport 1888
Export data to Azure with specified Agent and transfer endpoints. The -privateagentport
option has the user-defined value of 8006
. The parameter for -publicagentport
uses the special value of 0
, which is copied from the -privateagentport
option. The parameter for -privatetransferport
uses the special value of 0
, which is taken from the Agent configuration. The parameter for -publictransferport
uses the special value 0
, which is copied from the
option.: -privatetransferport
