DESCRIPTION

Refreshes the contents of a primary or clone volume group from another primary, clone, or snapshot in the same family. Creates a backup snapshot of the volume group before refresh by default. Use BackupSnapshotName to create a snapshot with name of choice, otherwise system generated name will be used. Use SkipBackupSnapshot if no backup snapshot is required.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Refresh-VolumeGroup -Cluster $cluster -Id volumeGroupId1 -VolumeGroupId sourceVolumeGroupId1

Where $cluster is a PowerStore cluster instance. Refreshes volume group with Id volumeGroupId1 from volume group with Id sourceVolumeGroupId1 and backup snapshot will be created using a system generated timestamp.

Example 2

PS C:\> Refresh-VolumeGroup -Cluster $cluster -Name volumeGroupName1 -VolumeGroupId sourceVolumeGroupId1 -BackupSnapshotName snapName1

Where $cluster is a PowerStore cluster instance. Refreshes volume group with name volumeGroupName1 from volume group using Id sourceVolumeGroupId1 and backup snapshot will be created with snapName1.

Example 3

PS C:\> Refresh-VolumeGroup -Cluster $cluster -Name volumeGroupName1 -VolumeGroupName sourceVolumeGroupId1

Where $cluster is a PowerStore cluster instance. Refreshes volume group with name volumeGroupName1 from volume group using name sourceVolumeGroupId1 and backup snapshot will be created using a system generated timestamp.

Example 4

PS C:\> Refresh-VolumeGroup -Cluster $cluster -Name volumeGroupName1 -SnapshotName snapshotName1 -SkipBackupSnapshot

Where $cluster is a PowerStore cluster instance. Refreshes volume group with name volumeGroupName1 from snapshot using name snapshotName1 and no backup snapshot will be created before the refresh operation.
