Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates a VMware or a Hyper-V network extension appliance on the user's host. This appliance is applied in the cloud provider settings (see Managing Service Provider).

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Server	The ESXi or a Hyper-V host where the VMs you want to replicate locate. The network appliance will be created on this host.	Accepts the CHost object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet.	True	Named	False
Network	Specifies the service provider network. The appliance will use this network to communicate between the user's production VMs and VM replicas on the cloud host.	Accepts the IVBRServerNetworkInfo object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRHvServerNetworkInfo or Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo cmdlets.	False	Named	False
IpAddress	Specifies the IP address. This address will be assigned to the appliance.	String	False	Named	False
SubnetMask	Specifies the subnet mask. This subnet mask will be used by the appliance.	String	False	Named	False
DefaultGateway	Specifies the default gateway. This gateway will be used by the appliance.	String	False	Named	False
Ipv6Address	Specifies the IPv6 address that you want to assign to the appliance.	String	False	Named	False
Ipv6PrefixLength	Specifies the length of an IPv6 prefix.	Int32	False	Named	False
Ipv6DefaultGateway	Specifies the IPv6 address of the default gateway. The appliance will use this IP address.	String	False	Named	False
EnableIpv4Interface	Enables the IPv4 settings. If you provide this parameter, you will be able to specify the following settings. IPv4 address Subnet mask Default gateway Note: To disable the IPv4 settings, set the EnableIpv4Interface parameter to $False. In this case, you will not be able to specify the network settings manually. To enable IPv4 settings, set the EnableIpv4Interface parameter to $True.	Boolean	False	Named	False
EnableIpv6Interface	Enables the IPv6 settings. If you provide this parameter, you will be able to specify the following settings. IPv6 address The length of an IPv6 prefix Default gateway Note: To disable the IPv6 settings, set the EnableIpv6Interface parameter to $False. In this case, you will not be able to specify the network settings manually. To enable IPv6 settings, set the EnableIpv6Interface parameter to $True.	Boolean	False	Named	False
ObtainIpAddressAutomatically	Defines that the cmdlet will assign the IPv4 address automatically.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
ObtainIpv6AddressAutomatically	Defines that the cmdlet will assign the IPv6 address automatically.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
ResourcePool	Specifies the resource pool where you want to create the VMware appliance.	Accepts the CViResourcePoolItem object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRViResourcePool cmdlet.	False	Named	False
Datastore	Specifies the datastore where you want to create the VMware appliance.	Accepts the VBRViDatastore object. To get this object, run the Find-VBRViDatastore cmdlet.	False	Named	False
Folder	Specifies the folder where you want to create the Hyper-V appliance.	String	False	Named	False
VLanId	Specifies the VLAN network provided to the user by the hardware plan. The appliance will use this VLAN to connect to the service provider network.	Int32	False	Named	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.

Output Object

Examples

New-VBRCloudProviderNetworkAppliance Example 1. Creating VMware Appliance with Advanced Settings [Using Variables]

This example shows how to create a VMware appliance with advanced settings on the srv01.tech.local host.

$server = Get-VBRServer -Type ESXi -Name "srv01.tech.local"

$network = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server $server | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "VM Network" }

$respool = Find-VBRViResourcePool -Server $server -Name "ResourcePool_01"

$datastore = Find-VBRViDatastore -Server $server -Name "NOPDatastore"

$viAppl = New-VBRCloudProviderNetworkAppliance -Server $server -Network $network -ResourcePool $respool -Datastore $datastore

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Set the ESXi option for the Type parameter. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the server to the $server variable.
Run the Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo cmdlet. Pass the result to the Where-Object cmdlet to select the networks with the NetworkName property that equals VM Network. Save the network to the $network variable.
Run the Find-VBRViResourcePool cmdlet. Set the $server variable as the Server parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the resource pool to the $respool variable.
Run the Find-VBRViDatastore cmdlet. Set the $server variable as the Server parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the datastore to the $datastore variable.
Run the New-VBRCloudProviderNetworkAppliance cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $server variable as the Server parameter value.
Set the $network variable as the Network parameter value.
Set the $respool variable as the ResourcePool parameter value.
Set the $datastore variable as the Datastore parameter value.
Save the result to the $viAppl variable for future use.

New-VBRCloudProviderNetworkAppliance Example 2. Creating Hyper-V Appliance with Advanced Settings [Using Variables]

This example shows how to create a Hyper-V appliance with advanced settings on the srv02.tech.local host.

$server = Get-VBRServer -Type HvServer -Name "srv02.tech.local"

$folder = "C:\Datastore"

$network = Get-VBRHvServerNetworkInfo -Server $server | Where { $_.NetworkName -eq "VM Network" }

$hvAppl = New-VBRCloudProviderNetworkAppliance -Server $server -Network $network -Folder $folder

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Set the HvServer option for the Type parameter. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the server to the $server variable.
Assign the $folder variable the C:\Datastore value.
Run the Get-VBRHvServerNetworkInfo cmdlet. Set the $server variable as the Server parameter value and use the Where-Object statement to filter the networks by the .NetworkName property. Save the network to the $network variable.
Run the New-VBRCloudProviderNetworkAppliance cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $server variable as the Server parameter value.
Set the $network variable as the Network parameter value.
Set the $folder variable as the Folder parameter value.
Save the result to the $hvAppl variable for future use.
