Use the Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork cmdlet to configure a network for a database availability group (DAG). You can configure a variety of network properties, such as the name for the network, a description of the network, a list of one or more subnets that comprise the network, and whether the network can be used for replication activity (log shipping and seeding).

Syntax

Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork -Identity <DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetworkIdParameter> [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Description <String>] [-DomainController <Fqdn>] [-IgnoreNetwork <$true | $false>] [-Name <String>] [-ReplicationEnabled <$true | $false>] [-Subnets <DatabaseAvailabilityGroupSubnetId[]>] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]]

Detailed Description

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "database availability group" entry in the High Availability Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetworkIdParameter

The Identity parameter specifies the DAG network being configured.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.

Description

Optional

System.String

The Description parameter specifies an optional description for the DAG network.

DomainController

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn

The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.

IgnoreNetwork

Optional

System.Boolean

The IgnoreNetwork parameter indicates that the specified network should be ignored and not used by the DAG.

Name

Optional

System.String

The Name parameter provides a name for the DAG network.

ReplicationEnabled

Optional

System.Boolean

The ReplicationEnabled parameter specifies whether the network can be used for replication activity. If this parameter isn't specified, the default behavior is to enable the network for replication.

Subnets

Optional

Microsoft.Exchange.Data.DatabaseAvailabilityGroupSubnetId[]

The Subnets parameter specifies one or more subnets that are associated with the DAG network.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.

Input Types

To see the input types that this cmdlet accepts, see Cmdlet Input and Output Types. If the Input Type field for a cmdlet is blank, the cmdlet doesn’t accept input data.

Return Types

To see the return types, which are also known as output types, that this cmdlet accepts, see Cmdlet Input and Output Types. If the Output Type field is blank, the cmdlet doesn’t return data.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1

This example enables a DAG network named DAGNetwork01 in a DAG named DAG1 for replication.

Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork -Identity DAG1\DAGNetwork01 -ReplicationEnabled:$true

EXAMPLE 2

This example disables a DAG network named DAGNetwork02 in a DAG named DAG2 for replication, and configures the DAG to ignore the network.

Copy Code
Set-DatabaseAvailabilityGroupNetwork -Identity DAG2\DAGNetwork02 -ReplicationEnabled:$false -IgnoreNetwork:$true
