Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure (AZ-800) Practice

Which of the following cmdlets need to be run before using Windows PowerShell to remove a Storage Replica replication group?

1. Test-SRTopology

2. Remove-SRPartnership

3. Get-SRGroup

4. Start-SRJob

The correct answer is: Remove-SRPartnership

To effectively remove a Storage Replica replication group in Windows PowerShell, it is essential to first remove any active partnerships that exist within that replication group. The cmdlet that fulfills this requirement is 'Remove-SRPartnership'. This cmdlet is used to terminate the replication relationship between the source and destination servers within the context of a Storage Replica setup. When a Storage Replica replication group is configured, it typically consists of partitions that are actively replicating data between the servers. Before you can remove the group, these partnerships must be properly disbanded to ensure data consistency and to avoid potential data loss. Using 'Remove-SRPartnership' first ensures that all replication duties are halted and any associated resources are released systematically. Following that step, you can then remove the replication group without any conflicting dependencies. The other cmdlets listed serve different purposes in the context of Storage Replica. For instance, 'Test-SRTopology' is used to validate the configuration of your Storage Replica before you set it up, while 'Get-SRGroup' retrieves information about existing replication groups rather than altering them. The 'Start-SRJob' cmdlet is intended for managing ongoing tasks related to Storage Replica, such as initiating or monitoring replication jobs, but does not address the
