• @vinay B: i tried to refer multiple blogs . But No Luck – satish B Commented Feb 4 at 5:29
• Have you tried this template github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/blob/… . You will deploy serveral vault related sub-resources. – wenbo - Finding Job Commented Feb 5 at 2:18
• @wenbo: thanks for sharing the link.But iam looking powershell automation script to enable site recovery for multiple vm's. – satish B Commented Feb 6 at 6:38
• @satish B, Above link provided it is related to single vm site recovery enable. The mechanism is the same, multiple vm's are just adding Loop in bicep. The main point here is to enable site recovery to vm (it's not easy, because of many of sub-resources and conceptions), not to multiple vm. I've searched and haven't found a bicep file that includes both enable site recovery and multiple vms. – wenbo - Finding Job Commented Feb 6 at 7:19

Need to enable VM Replication using azure bicep with Powershell script

You can use a deployment script in Bicep to run a PowerShell script that enables VM replication for multiple VMs.

Note: Make sure to place the powershell script in same bicep file directory

Here is the PoPowerShellcript

$VMlist = @("VenkatVM", "VenkatVM1")
$vaultID = "/subscriptions/8332bcn6575755f09a9/resourceGroups/Venkat-VM/providers/Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/Venkat-RSV"
$location= "eastus"
$resourceGroupName="Venkat-VM"

#Get the vault object
$vault = Get-AzRecoveryServicesVault -Name "Venkat-RSV"

foreach ($vmName in $VMlist) {
    # Set the recovery services vault context
    Set-AzRecoveryServicesVaultContext -Vault $vault

    # Get the backup protection policy
    $policy = Get-AzRecoveryServicesBackupProtectionPolicy -Name "DefaultPolicy"

    # Enable backup protection for each VM (passing the vmName string)
    Enable-AzRecoveryServicesBackupProtection -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $vmName -Policy $policy

    Write-Output "Replication enabled for $vmName"
}

Here is the Bicep code to use the PowerShell script to enable VM replication.

vm.bicep

var scriptContentEndpoint = loadTextContent('./vm.ps1')

resource scriptEndpoint 'Microsoft.Resources/deploymentScripts@2020-10-01' = {
  name: 'DisableendpointScript'
  location: resourceGroup().location
  identity: {
    type: 'UserAssigned'
    userAssignedIdentities: {
      '/subscriptions/8332bf56-aa7c-4daa-a507-d7e60e5f09a9/resourceGroups/Venkat-VM/providers/Microsoft.ManagedIdentity/userAssignedIdentities/RSV-UAM': {}
    }
  }
  kind: 'AzurePowerShell'
  properties: {
    azPowerShellVersion: '10.1'
    retentionInterval: 'PT1H'
    scriptContent: scriptContentEndpoint
  }
}

 New-AzResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName "Venkat-VM" -TemplateFile "vm.bicep"
