Syntax¶

Add-EsxiVrmsVMkernelPort [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-domain] <String> [-portgroup] <String> [-netmask] <String> [-ipAddresses] <Array> [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Add-EsxiVrmsVMkernelPort cmdlet creates a VMkernel port on each ESXi host for vSphere Replication traffic. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -password values:

Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to the SDDC Manager instance
Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to the vCenter Server instance
Creates a VMkernel port on each ESXi host for vSphere Replication traffic.

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Add-EsxiVrmsVMkernelPort -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -portgroup sfo01-m01-cl01-vds01-pg-vrms -netmask 255.255.255.0 -ipAddresses @("172.27.15.101","172.27.15.102","172.27.15.103","172.27.15.104")
