 [<CommonParameters>]

SLA_Explicit

Protect-RubrikNutanixVM -id <String> [-SLA <String>] [-SLAID <String>] [-Server <String>] [-api <String>]
 [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

SLA_Inherit

Protect-RubrikNutanixVM -id <String> [-Inherit] [-SLAID <String>] [-Server <String>] [-api <String>] [-WhatIf]
 [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Protect-RubrikNutanixVM cmdlet will update a virtual machine's SLA Domain assignment within the Rubrik cluster. The SLA Domain contains all policy-driven values needed to protect workloads. Note that this function requires the virtual machine ID value, not the name of the virtual machine, since virtual machine names are not unique across clusters. It is suggested that you first use Get-RubrikNutanixVM to narrow down the one or more virtual machine to protect, and then pipe the results to Protect-RubrikVM. You will be asked to confirm each virtual machine you wish to protect, or you can use -Confirm:$False to skip confirmation checks.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

Get-RubrikNutanixVM "VM1" | Protect-RubrikNutanixVM -SLA 'Gold'

This will assign the Gold SLA Domain to any virtual machine named "VM1"

EXAMPLE 2

Get-RubrikNutanixVM "VM1" | Protect-RubrikNutanixVM -DoNotProtect -ExistingSnapshotRetention KeepForever

This will unprotect the Nutanix VM VM1 while keeping existing snapshots forever

EXAMPLE 3

Get-RubrikNutanixVM "VM1" -SLA Silver | Protect-RubrikNutanixVM -SLA 'Gold' -Confirm:$False

This will assign the Gold SLA Domain to any virtual machine named "VM1" that is currently assigned to the Silver SLA Domain without asking for confirmation
