Examples
Example 1: Creating a new resource group
Add-SmResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName DS26 -PluginCode SMSQL -Policies BackupPolicy -Resources @{"Host"="host.example.com";"Type"="SQL Database";"Names"="NB-MVA-DEV054\newdb"}
-Description test -CustomSnapShotFomat abc -CustomText test -SchedulerRunAsName admin
-Schedules @{"PolicyName"="BackupPolicy";"ScheduleType"="OneTime"}, @{"PolicyName"="BackupPolicy";"ScheduleType"="Hourly";"StartTime"=" 05/27/2016 6:13 PM";"EndTime"="'05/27/2016 6:30 PM'"}
-SchedulerType Windows
This example syntax creates a new resource group.
Example 2: Adding a resource group for custom plugin with consistency group Snapshot copy enabled
Add-SmResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName 'ResourceGroup_with_CG' -Resources @(@{"Host"="sccorelinux61.sccore.test.com";"Uid"="inst1\db1"},@{"Host"="sccorelinux61.sccore.test.com";"Uid"="inst1\db2"}) -Policies primaryonly -consistencygroupsnapshot 1 -usesnapcenterwithoutfilesystemconsistency -plugincode 'DB2'
This example syntax creates a resource group of two DB2 databases with Consistency Group Snapshot copies enabled.
Example 3: Creating a resource group with scheduled verification

Add-SmResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName RG27 -PluginCode SCO -Policies BackupPolicy -Resources @{"Host"="host.example.com";"Oracle Database"="newdb"} -Description test -CustomSnapShotFomat abc -CustomText test -SchedulerRunAsName admin -Schedules @{"PolicyName"="BackupPolicy";"ScheduleType"="Weekly";"DaysOfTheWeek"="Sunday"}, @{"PolicyName"="BackupPolicy";"ScheduleType"="Monthly";"StartTime"=" 05/27/2016 6:13 PM";"EndTime"="05/27/2016 6:30 PM";"MonthsofTheYear"="March";"DaysoftheMonth"="2"} -SchedulerType Windows -VerificationSchedules @{"BackupScheduleType"="Weekly";"DeferredBackupCount"="1";"VerificationType"="VERIFY_SCHEDULED";"VerifyOnSecondary"="true";"BackupPolicyName"="BackupPolicy";"ScheduleType"="Weekly";"DaysOfTheWeek"="Monday";"StartTime"="20-Jul-16 6:42:12 PM";"EndTime"="25-Jul-16 6:42:12 PM"},@{"BackupScheduleType"="Monthly";"DeferredBackupCount"="2";"VerificationType"="VERIFY_AFTER_BACKUP";"VerifyOnSecondary"="false";"BackupPolicyName"="BackupPolicy"}
This example syntax creates a new resource group with scheduled verification and verification after backup.
Example 5: Adding an Always On availability group
Add-SmResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName AG_Prod -Resources @{"Host"="myag1";"Type"="SQL Availability Group";"Names"="AG_Prod"} -PluginCode SMSQL -Policies "SQL Daily Full" -Schedules @{"PolicyName"="SQL Daily Full";"ScheduleType"="Daily";"StartTime"="10/28/2017 6:13 PM";"EndTime"=""} -schedulerType SQL -SchedulerInstance SQL1
This example syntax adds an Always On availability group named AG_Prod to a SnapCenter resource group.
Example 6: Adding a resource group for HANA plugin
Add-SmResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName '43RG57' -Resources @{"Host"="schana02.gdl.englab.netapp.com";"Uid"="MDC\R57"} -plugincode 'hana' -Policies 'HANAPOLICY'
