# New-RubrikVolumeGroupMount

## SYNOPSIS

Create a new live mount of a protected volume group

## SYNTAX

```
New-RubrikVolumeGroupMount -TargetHost <String> -VolumeGroupSnapshot <Object> [-ExcludeDrives <Array>]
 [-ExcludeMountPoints <Array>] [-Server <String>] [-api <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

The New-RubrikVolumeGroupMount cmdlet is used to create a new volume group mount on the TargetHost of the selected Snapshot. The Snapshot object contains the snapID and all drives that are included in the snapshot.

## EXAMPLES

### EXAMPLE 1

```
New-RubrikVolumeGroupMount -TargetHost 'Restore-Server1' -VolumeGroupSnapshot $snap -ExcludeDrives -$DrivestoExclude
```

This will create a new VolumeGroup Mount on Restore-Server1 with the values specified in $snap & $DrivestoExclude

### EXAMPLE 2

```
$snapshot = Get-RubrikVolumeGroup "MyVolumeGroup" | Get-RubrikSnapshot -Latest
```

New-RubrikVolumeGroupMount -TargetHost "MyTargetHostName" -VolumeGroupSnapshot $snapshot -ExcludeDrives @("D","E") This will create a new VolumeGroup Mount on MyTargetHostName with the latest snapshot retrieved in the first line, while exlcluding drives D & E

New-RubrikVolumeGroupMount -TargetHost "MyTargetHostName" -VolumeGroupSnapshot $snapshot -ExcludeMountPoint @("C:\MFAPDB05Log\\") This will create a new VolumeGroup Mount on MyTargetHostName with the latest snapshot retrieved in the first line, while exlcluding the volume mounted on C:\MFAPDB05Log\\

New-RubrikVolumeGroupMount -TargetHost "MyTargetHostName" -VolumeGroupSnapshot $snapshot -ExcludeMountPoint @("Log") To exclude all MountPoints with a certain string

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rubrik.gitbook.io/rubrik-sdk-for-powershell/command-documentation/reference/new-rubrikvolumegroupmount.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
