Description

The Install-vSphereReplicationManager cmdlet deploys the vSphere Replication Manager Virtual Appliance OVA. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -password values to retrive the management domain vCenter Server details from its inventory and then:

  • Gathers vSphere configuration from vCenter Server
  • Gathers DNS and NTP configuration from SDDC Manager
  • Deploys the vSphere Replication Manager Virtual Appliance.

Examples

Example 1

Install-vSphereReplicationManager -server sfo-vcf01.sfo.rainpole.io -user administrator@vsphere.local -pass VMw@re1! -domain sfo-m01 -vrmsFqdn sfo-m01-vrms01.sfo.rainpole.io -vrmsIpAddress 192.168.31.60 -vrmsGateway 192.168.31.1 -vrmsNetPrefix 255.255.255.0 -vrmsNetworkSearchPath sfo.rainpole.io -vrmsFolder sfo-m01-fd-vrms -vrmsVaRootPassword VMw@re1! -vrmsVaAdminPassword VMw@re1! -vrmsOvfPath F:\vrms.ova

This example deploys the vSphere Replication Manager Virtual Appliance into the sfo-m01-fd-vrms folder of the management domain.
