NAME Copy-DbaResourceGovernor



SYNOPSIS

Migrates Resource Pools





SYNTAX

Copy-DbaResourceGovernor [-Source] <DbaInstanceParameter> [[-SourceSqlCredential] <Pscredential>] [-Destination]

<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]> [[-DestinationSqlCredential] <Pscredential>]

[[-ResourcePool] <System.Object[]>] [[-ExcludeResourcePool] <System.Object[]>] [-Force <Switch>] [-EnableException

<Switch>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

By default, all non-system resource pools are migrated. If the pool already exists on the destination, it will be

skipped unless -Force is used.



The -ResourcePool parameter is auto-populated for command-line completion and can be used to copy only specific

objects.





PARAMETERS

-Destination [<Sqlcollaborative.Dbatools.Parameter.DbaInstanceParameter[]>]

Destination SQL Server. You must have sysadmin access and the server must be SQL Server 2008 or higher.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-DestinationSqlCredential [<Pscredential>]

Login to the target instance using alternative credentials. Accepts PowerShell credentials (Get-Credential).



Windows Authentication, SQL Server Authentication, Active Directory - Password, and Active Directory -

Integrated are all supported.



For MFA support, please use Connect-DbaInstance.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

-EnableException [<Switch>]

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.

This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables

advanced scripting.

Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own

try/catch.

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ExcludeResourcePool [<System.Object[]>]

Specifies the resource pool(s) to exclude. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server



Required? false

Default value

-Force [<Switch>]

If this switch is enabled, the policies will be dropped and recreated on Destination.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value

Accept pipeline input? False

-ResourcePool [<System.Object[]>]

Specifies the resource pool(s) to process. Options for this list are auto-populated from the server. If

unspecified, all resource pools will be processed.
