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.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job.
