Hello guys,
I am looking to create some kind of automation to create vRanger replication jobs for our VMs. I am able to actually create the jobs but only as a ‘Run on Demand’ type of job. I have dug around the internet looking for some way to set this as a scheduled job but have yet to find anyone doing the same. Based on the help output, I have attempted the following with no success.
Adding the schedule during the replication job’s creation
Add-ReplicationJobTemplate -JobName "$JobName" -JobDescription "$Description" -JobEntity $VMInfo -TargetHost $HostInfo -ReplicateName $ReplicaVMName -Type Differential -TargetNetworks $ReplicaNetwork.Name -PrimaryDatastore $ReplicaStorage.name -TargetDatastores $ReplicaStorage.name -Flags $RepFlags -JobSchedule $Schedule
Updating the replication job with an a schedule
get-jobtemplate -Type Replication | where { $_.inventoryNodeName -eq "$VM" } | Update-ReplicationJobTemplate -JobSchedule $Schedule
Error posted:
Update-ReplicationJobTemplate : {0} type is not supported. Valid types are VA-HotAdd, VA-Network, COS Parameter name: vRanger.API.PowerShell.vAPIService.TransportType At line:1 char:70 + Get-JobTemplate | where { $_.inventoryNodeName -eq "$VM" } | Update-Repl ... + ~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (vRanger.API.Pow...ervice.Schedule:Schedule) [Update-ReplicationJobTemp late], ArgumentException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 0,vRanger.API.PowerShell.JobShell.UpdateReplicationJobTemplate
The $schedule variable above is simply taken from an existing replication job with a schedule already in place. Does anyone know of a way to update/add schedules to vRanger using powershell?
