Parameter Description

-dpmservername The name of the server to which you are

switching protection

-psname The name of the protected computer for which

you are switching protection

-protectiontype The type of protection the server will provide:

primary or secondary

-username

-password

Credentials for an account with domain

administrator privileges

-domain The domain to which the protection computer

belongs

When the primary DPM server is available again, you switch protection back to the primary DPM

server to enable the primary DPM server to resume protection of the computers. You must also

switch protection on the secondary DPM server to enable it to resume secondary protection of the

data sources protected by the primary DPM server.

When you resume secondary protection, the replicas for the protected data sources will be

inactive. You must add the data sources to a protection group on the secondary DPM server

again, using the automatic replica creation option, and then the replicas will become active.

Note

After you resume secondary protection, if the replicas are not inactive, run

SwitchProtection.ps1 on the secondary DPM server again.

Example

In the following example, you switch primary protection for computer SQL1 to the secondary DPM

server, DPM2, for recovery or continued protection, by running the following command on DPM2:

SwitchProtection.ps1 dpmservername dpm2 psname sql1 protectiontype

primary username administrator password Password~1 domain dc990

In the following example, you switch primary protection for computer SQL1 back to the primary

DPM server, DPM1.

First, you run the following command on DPM1:

SwitchProtection.ps1 dpmservername dpm1 psname sql1 protectiontype

primary username administrator password Password~1 domain dc990

Second, you run the following command on DPM2:

SwitchProtection.ps1 dpmservername dpm2 psname sql1 protectiontype

secondary username administrator password Password~1 domain dc990
