Description

The Stop-VMFailover cmdlet stops failover of a virtual machine. If the virtual machine is running, this cmdlet turns the virtual machine off and cancels failover. For a test failover, this cmdlet stops the test failover and deletes the test virtual machine. For a planned failover that has been started on a primary virtual machine, this cmdlet cancels that action and restarts replication, which allows you to start the primary virtual machine.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Stop-VMFailover VM01

This example stops failover for a virtual machine named VM01.

Example 2

PS C:\> Stop-VMFailover *

This example stops all running failovers for all the virtual machines on the local Hyper-V host.

Required Parameters

-VM

Specifies the virtual machine whose failover you want to cancel.

Type: VirtualMachine[]
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-VMName

Specifies the name of the virtual machine whose you want to cancel.

Type: String[]
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type: CimSession[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ComputerName

Specifies one or more hosts on which to cancel the failover of a virtual machine. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

Type: String[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: cf
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Credential

Specifies one or more user accounts that have permission to perform this action. The default is the current user.

Type: PSCredential[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Passthru

Specifies that an object is to be passed through to the pipeline representing the virtual machine whose initial replication is to be stopped.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: wi
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False

Outputs

None by default; Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VirtualMachine if PassThru is specified.
