Add-Scenario - Create a New Scenario

The Add-Scenario command enables you to create a new scenario. When creating a new scenario, you need to define the following:

• The scenario name
• The scenario group to which this scenario will be assigned (optional)
• The type of application or database server to be protected
• The type of data protection solution
• Whether to enable the Integrity Testing option for Assured Recovery

The new scenario is created without hosts and root directories. You define these parameters at a later stage, using the Add-Master, Add-Replica and Add-Dir commands.

Syntax

Add-Scenario [-Name] <String> [[-Group] [<String>]] [[-Application] [<String>]] [[-Type] [<String>]] [[-AR] [<Boolean>] [[-IntOpt] <String> [[-ServerURL] <String>]] 

Parameters

Name

The name of the new scenario.

Note: Enter a unique name, since you cannot use the same name for more than one scenario. If you will use an existing name for the new scenario, the system will change it automatically.

Group (optional)

The scenario group name that contains the new scenario.

Notes:

• If you do not enter a group name, the new scenario is assigned to the default Scenarios group.
