DR Series DR2000v - Deployment Guide

Using the supported cmdlets for the DR2000v for Hyper-V

New-DR2000v
Remove-DR2000v
Repair-DR2000v
Start-DR2000v
Stop-DR2000v

The supported cmdlets for the DR2000v for Hyper-V include capabilities for creating a new DR2000v as well as shutting down, restoring, and removing a DR2000v.

The supported cmdlets are included in binary modules such as DR2000v.dll and DR2000v. psd1. The .dll and .psd1 files are included in the uncompressed installation package under the “bin” folder.

To use these cmdlets, you must ensure the prerequisites have been met for Hyper-V as described in the topic, “Prerequisites for deploying the DR2000v on Microsoft Hyper-V.”

New-DR2000v

Purpose

To create a new DR2000v virtual machine.

Syntax

New-DR2000v -Name <DR2000v name> -Image <absolute path to DR2000v Image zip> -Size <size of the image> [-ComputerName <VMHost Name>] [-UserName] <username> -Password <password>]

Parameters

•
Name: Specify the DR2000v name.
•
Image: Specify the UNC path location of the DR2000v base image file. In PowerShell, this will provide the UNC path $env:DR_ImagePath. For example:

New-DR2000v -Name DR2000v-New -Image $env:DR_ImagePath

•
Size: Specify the size of the image with one of the following values: 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB. (Note that 4TB is only available for Microsoft Hyper—V 2012 and Microsoft Hyper–V 2012 R2.)
•
ComputerName: Specify the Hyper-V server name, hostname, or fully qualified domain name.
◦
Optional parameter. If not specified, the local host name will be used.
•
UserName: Specify user name.
◦
Optional parameter. If not specified, cmdlet runs in current user context.
•
Password: Specify password.
◦
Optional parameter. If not specified, cmdlet runs in current user context.

Remove-DR2000v

Purpose

To delete the DR2000v virtual machine.

Syntax

Remove-DR2000v –Name <DR2000v Name> -ComputerName <VMHost Name>] [-UserName <username> -Password <password>

Parameters

•
Name: Specify the DR2000v name.
•
ComputerName: Specify the Hyper-V server name, hostname, or fully qualified domain name.
◦
Optional parameter. If not specified, the local host name will be used.
•
UserName: Specify user name.

◦
Optional parameter. If not specified, cmdlet runs in current user context.

Repair-DR2000v

Purpose

To restore the DR2000v operating system (OS) to the original firmware level, without impacting stored deduped data. (This operation is equivalent to using the Restore Manager on a physical DR Series system.)

Syntax

Repair-DR2000v –Name <DR2000v Name> -Image <absolute path to DR2000v Image zip> [-ComputerName <VMHost Name>] [-UserName <username> -Password <password>]

Parameters

•
Name: Specify the DR2000v name.
•
Image: Specify the UNC path location of the DR2000v base image file.
•
ComputerName: Specify the Hyper-V server name, hostname, or fully qualified domain name.
◦
