Add-VrmsNetworkAdapter¶

Synopsis¶

Adds a second ethernet adapter and configures the required routing for vSphere Replication appliance.

Syntax¶

Add-VrmsNetworkAdapter [-server] <String> [-user] <String> [-pass] <String> [-domain] <String> [-vrmsFqdn] <String> [-vrmsRootPass] <String> [-vrmsAdminPass] <String> [-vrmsIpAddress] <String> [-replicationSubnet] <String> [-replicationIpAddress] <String> [-replicationGateway] <String> [-replicationPortgroup] <String> [-replicationRemoteNetwork] <String> [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description¶

The Add-VrmsNetworkAdapter cmdlet adds a second ethernet adapter and configures the required routing for the vSphere Replication appliance. 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
Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to the vSphere Replication instance
Configures the secondary ethernet adapter and configures the required routing for the replication network.

Examples¶

Example 1¶

Add-VrmsNetworkAdapter -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -vrmsFqdn sfo-m01-vrms01.sfo.rainpole.io -vrmsRootPass VMw@re1! -vrmsAdminPass VMw@re1! -vrmsIpAddress 172.18.95.125 -replicationSubnet 172.18.111.0/24 -replicationIpAddress 172.18.111.125 -replicationGateway 172.18.111.1  -replicationPortgroup sfo-m01-cl01-vds01-pg-vrms -replicationRemoteNetwork 172.18.96.0/24

This example configures the protected and recovery site vSphere Replication appliances to use a secondary ethernet adapter for vSphere Replication traffic.
