The following table describes the options available for the Start-AttachabilityCheck command:

Table 279. Start-AttachabilityCheck command options

Option	Description
-?	Display this help message.
-core	Optional. Remote Core host machine IP address (with an optional port number). By default the connection is made to the Core installed on the local machine.
-user	Optional. User name for the remote Core host machine. If you specify a user name, you also have to provide a password. If none are provided, then the logged-on user's credentials will be used.
-password	Optional. Password to the remote Core host machine. If you specify a password, you also have to provide a user name. If none are provided, then the logged-on user's credentials will be used.
-protectedserver	The protected machine on which to perform the SQL attachability check.
-rpn	Optional. The sequential number of a recovery point on which to perform the SQL attachability check. You can use the -GetRecoveryPoints command to obtain recovery point numbers. You can specify several space-separated numbers to perform the checks against multiple recovery points with a single command.   NOTE: If neither ‘time’ nor ‘rpn’ option is specified in this command, than the most recent recovery point is used for the attachability check.
-time	Optional. Determines recovery point to be selected for SQL attachability check. You need to specify exact time in the format “MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm tt” (for example: “04/24/2015 09:00 AM”).” Specify date time values of the time zone set on your local machine.   NOTE: If neither ‘time’ nor ‘rpn’ option is specified in this command, than the most recent recovery point will be exported.

Example:

Perform a SQL attachability check on the most recent recovery point for the specified protected SQL server:

-user	Optional. User name for the remote Core host machine. If you specify a user name, you also have to provide a password. If none are provided, then the logged-on user's credentials will be used.
-password	Optional. Password to the remote Core host machine. If you specify a password, you also have to provide a user name. If none are provided, then the logged-on user's credentials will be used.
-protectedserver	Protected machine with recovery points to be exported.
-volumes	Optional. List of volume names to be exported. If not specified, all volumes in the specified recovery points will be exported. Values must be enclosed in double quotes, each separated by a space. do not use trailing slashes in volume names. For example, specify “C:” not “C:/”
-rpn	Optional. The sequential number of a recovery point to be exported. (You can use the Get-RecoveryPoints command to obtain recovery point numbers.   NOTE: If neither ‘time’ nor ‘rpn’ option is specified in this command, than the most recent recovery point will be exported.
-time	Optional. Determines recovery point to be selected for export. You need to specify exact time in the format “MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm tt” (for example: “04/24/2015 09:00 AM”).” Specify date time values of the time zone set on your local machine.   NOTE: If neither ‘time’ nor ‘rpn’ option is specified in this command, than the most recent recovery point will be exported.

-hostname	The virtual server host name.
-hostport	The virtual server port number.
-hostusername	The user name to the virtual server host.
-hostpassword	The password to the virtual server host.
-ram	Allocate specific amount of RAM on the virtual server.
-usesourceram	Optional. Allocate the same amount of RAM on the virtual server as the source protected machine.
-diskprovisioning	Optional. The amount of disk space that will be allocated on the virtual machine. Specify ‘thick’ to make the virtual disk as large as the original drive on the protected server, or ‘thin’ to allocate the amount of actual disk space occupied on the original drive, plus some extra space in megabytes.
