This is my notes and scripts for a Hyper-V Disaster Recovery with Storage Replication.

First script on Main Site, creates Volume identifiers under CSV Volumes. So after a Volume restore, we can restore Volume names with that index. Also scripts exports all virtual machine configs. That will make it easier to restore all Virtual Machines on Hyper-V.

	if (!$TestCSVIdentifierPath)
	{
		# Create CSV Identifier
		New-Item -Path "$CSVPath" -Name "$CSVIdentifierName" -ItemType File
	}
}

Second Script on DR site, clears all old objects on Hyper-V and Failover Cluster. Restores volume names according to Volume Identifiers. After that imports all virtual machines by using our virtual machine exports.

After that, you will be able to start your virtual machines.
