Parameters
-ApplyChanges
Indicates that the cmdlet applies changes.
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
-DestinationComputerName (required)
Specifies a single replica host computer NetBIOS name or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the destination computer for which this cmdlet removes a partnership.
-DestinationRGName (required)
Specifies the name of the destination replication group for which this cmdlet removes a partnership.
-Force
Forces the command to run without asking for user confirmation.
-IgnoreRemovalFailure
Indicates that this cmdlet removes the partnership even if both computers are not online. Specify this parameter only if a disaster has made one of the computers permanently unreachable. Otherwise, the other computer may continue to believe it is in a partnership.
-SourceComputerName
Specifies a single replica host computer NetBIOS name or FQDN of the source computer for which this cmdlet removes a partnership. The default value is the local computer.
-SourceRGName (required)
Specifies the name of the source replication group for which this cmdlet removes a partnership.
-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.
Prerequisites
Windows with the StorageReplica module and the Windows feature or management tools that provide it. Confirm target connectivity and version compatibility using the linked Microsoft reference.
