Question

Hi,

Following this article:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/site-recovery/vmware-azure-disaster-recovery-powershell

I'm trying to enable replication on a vmware VM.

I got the process server from the fabric, as stated in the article:

$fabricObj.FabricSpecificDetails.ProcessServers[0]

But I get the following error when trying to enable the replication:

New-AzRecoveryServicesAsrReplicationProtectedItem : Cannot bind parameter 'ProcessServer'. Cannot convert the

"Microsoft.Azure.Commands.RecoveryServices.SiteRecovery.ASRProcessServerDetails" value of type "Microsoft.Azure.Commands.RecoveryServices.SiteRecovery.ASRProcessServerDetails" to type

"Microsoft.Azure.Commands.RecoveryServices.SiteRecovery.ASRProcessServer".

I cannot find a way to get Microsoft.Azure.Commands.RecoveryServices.SiteRecovery.ASRProcessServer.

Any ideas?

Also, I cant see in my fabric the RunAsAccount

Hi Itamar Safri
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Thanks for asking question here...!
To enable the replication on a VMware VM using Azure PowerShell, please follow with the below steps:
1.Use this command to get the list of process servers:

$processServers = Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrFabric | Where-Object { $_.FabricType -eq "VMware" } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FabricSpecificDetails | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ProcessServers

2.Pick a process server from the list:

$selectedProcessServer = $processServers[0]  # Choose the appropriate index

3.When creating a replication item, use the selected process server:

New-AzRecoveryServicesAsrReplicationProtectedItem -ResourceGroupName "<YourResourceGroup>" -VaultName "<YourVaultName>" -ProtectionContainer "<YourContainer>" -ProtectableItem "<YourItem>" -ProcessServer $selectedProcessServer

Fixing the RunAs Account Issue
4.Make sure the ASR appliance is correctly registered in the Azure portal.
5.See available RunAs accounts, use:

$runAsAccounts = Get-AzRecoveryServicesAsrFabric | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FabricSpecificDetails | Select-Object -ExpandProperty RunAsAccounts

7.If no accounts are listed, create one through the Azure portal or PowerShell.
