Use the ConnectedPairings Property

Use the ConnectedPairings property to extract connection information that you might need for vSphere Replication SDK operations.

The ConnectedPairings property is a key-value dictionary that contains information about all available vSphere Replication pairings. Use ConnectedPairings to extract information such as PairingID and VcServerID, which is required for some vSphere Replication SDK operations.

Prerequisites

Verify that you have a valid VrServerConnection. This example uses the $vr2 connection variable from Connect to a Local and to a Remote vSphere Replication Server.

Procedure

To list the connected pairings for a vSphere Replication connection, run:
```
$vr2.ConnectedPairings
```
The system lists a key-value map with your connected pairings.
To list a pairing, run:
```
$vr2.ConnectedPairings[<vc_server_name>].Pairing
```
The system returns the Pairing object with all its properties. You can copy the PairingID property as it is required by some vSphere Replication API operations.
To list the LocalVcServer object, run:
```
$vr2.ConnectedPairings[<vc_server_name>].Pairing.LocalVcServer
```
The system returns a ServerInfo object that contains a server ID that is required by some vSphere Replication API operations.
To list the RemoteVcServer object, run:
```
$vr2.ConnectedPairings[<vc_server_name>].Pairing.RemoteVcServer
```
The system returns a ServerInfo object that contains a server ID that is required by some vSphere Replication API operations.
