If you are a service provider and set up a VMware cloud hardware plan, you must first configure networking for tenants’ VM replicas. The service provider must allocate a range of VLANs to Veeam Cloud Connect. This can be done in the following steps:
- Get the ESXi host or VMware vCenter server in the service provider virtualization environment where the tenants’ VM replicas will be registered:
- For a ESXi host run Get-VBRServer with Type parameter: ESXi.
- For a VMware vCenter server run Get-VBRServer with Type parameter: VC.
- Save the result to the $server variable.
- Get the array of virtual switches located on ESXi host: run Get-VBRViVirtualSwitch and save the result to the $switcharray variable.
- Get the specific virtual switch:
- Use the properties of the $switcharray object to get the switches located on ESXi host.
- Select the needed switch.
- Save the result to the $switch variable.
- Allocate a range of VLANs to Veeam Cloud Connect:
- Run New-VBRCloudVLANConfiguration with the $server and $switch variables.
- Indicate the range for VLANs with internet connection and the range of VLANs without internet connection.
|
The total number of VLANs reserved for Veeam Cloud Connect Replication must be equal to or exceed the total number of all tenants' production networks. |
