fallback vm
Fails back from a replica. The replica will be recovered to an existing or a new virtual machine.
Parameters
What to fail back
{--vmid=<virtual machine ID>|--vmname=<virtual machine name>|--vmconfig=<path>}
Replica identifier or name, or path to its configuration file.
Where to fail back
If none of the parameters mentioned in this block is specified, the command will fail back to the original virtual machine. Otherwise, the failback will be performed to an existing or a new virtual machine.
--vcenter=<IP address or hostname>
vCenter to recover the virtual machine to. If you have a stand-alone ESXi host, this parameter is not needed.
--credentials=<user name>,<password>,encrypted
{--vmserver_name=<server name>|--vmserver_id=<server GUID>}
ESXi host to recover the virtual machine to.
--credentials=<user name>,<password>,encrypted
When recovering to a new virtual machine, this parameter is mandatory. When recovering to an existing machine, this parameter is not needed.
When recovering to a new virtual machine, this parameter is optional. When recovering to an existing machine, this parameter is not needed.
--target_name=<virtual machine name>
Name of the target virtual machine. If a machine with this name does not exist in the specified virtualization environment, a new machine will be created. Otherwise, the machine will be overwritten. However if you specify the --vmstorage parameter and, optionally, the --vmresource_pool parameter but the --target_name parameter contains the name of an existing machine, the command will fail.
How to fail back
--apply_changes
If specified, the changes made to the replica will be added to the target virtual machine.
--start_after_recovery
If specified, the target virtual machine will be powered on after the failback is complete.
--vmprovisioning_mode={thin|thick|original_vm}
The parameter is used only when recovering to a new virtual machine.

Access to a remote machine
--host=<IP address or hostname>
--credentials=<user name>,<password>,encrypted
