Examples

Example: 1

PS C:\> Set-DbaAgReplica -SqlInstance sql2016 -Replica sql2016 -AvailabilityGroup SharePoint -BackupPriority 5000

Sets the backup priority to 5000 for the sql2016 replica for the SharePoint availability group on sql2016

Example: 2

PS C:\> Get-DbaAgReplica -SqlInstance sql2016 | Out-GridView -Passthru | Set-DbaAgReplica -BackupPriority 5000

Sets the backup priority to 5000 for the selected availability groups.

Example: 3

PS C:\> Get-DbaAgReplica -SqlInstance sql2016 -Replica Replica1 |
>> Set-DbaAgReplica -ReadOnlyRoutingList Replica2, Replica3

Equivalent to running "ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP... MODIFY REPLICA... (READ_ONLY_ROUTING_LIST = ('Replica2', 'Replica3'));"

Example: 4

PS C:\> Get-DbaAgReplica -SqlInstance sql2016 -Replica Replica1 |
>> Set-DbaAgReplica -ReadOnlyRoutingList @(,('Replica2','Replica3'));

Equivalent to running "ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP... MODIFY REPLICA... (READ_ONLY_ROUTING_LIST = (('Replica2', 'Replica3')));" setting a load balanced routing list for when Replica1 is the primary
replica.
