Examples

New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance Example 1. Defining Settings of Proxy Appliance with Automatic IP and DNS Setup

This example shows how to define settings of the Proxy_appliance_05 proxy appliance that is deployed with the automatic IP and DNS setup. The proxy appliance will be deployed with the following settings:

The proxy appliance will be deployed on the esx09.tech.local ESXi host.
Veeam Backup & Replication will keep redo logs for verified VMs on the esx09-das6 datastore.
The proxy appliance will connect to the production network on the esx09.tech.local ESXi host.

$ESXi = Get-VBRServer -Name "esx09.tech.local"

$network = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server $ESXi

$datastore = Find-VBRViDatastore -Server $ESXi -Name "esx09-das6"

New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance -Server $ESXi -ObtainIPAutomatically -ObtainDNSAutomatically -Name "Proxy_appliance_05" -Datastore $datastore -Network $network[3]

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ESXi variable.
Run the Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo cmdlet. Set the $ESXi variable as the Server parameter value. Save the result to the $network variable.
Run the Find-VBRViDatastore cmdlet. Set the $ESXi variable as the Server parameter value. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $datastore variable.
Run the New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $ESXi variable as the Server parameter value.
Provide the ObtainIPAutomatically parameter.
Provide the ObtainDNSAutomatically parameter.
Specify the Name parameter value.
Set the $datastore variable as the Datastore parameter value.
Set the $network[3] variable as the Network parameter value.

The Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo cmdlet will return an array of production networks. Mind the ordinal number of the necessary production network (An array starts with 0. In our example, it is the fourth production network in the array).

New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance Example 2. Defining Settings of Proxy Appliance as Proxy

This example shows how to define settings of a proxy appliance that is deployed with the automatic IP and DNS and acts as an Internet proxy server. The proxy appliance will be deployed with the following settings:

The proxy appliance will be deployed on the esx07.tech.local ESXi host.
Veeam Backup & Replication will keep redo logs for verified VMs on the vPower NFS server.
VMs from the isolated network will use the 172.17.1.2 IP address to access the Internet.
VMs from isolated network will use this the 8085 port number to access the Internet.

$ESXi = Get-VBRServer -Name "esx07.tech.local"

New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance -Server $ESXi -ObtainIPAutomatically -ObtainDNSAutomatically -HTTPPort 8085 -ProductionProxyIPAddress 172.17.1.2 -EnableInternetProxy

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ESXi variable.
Run the New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $ESXi variable as the Server parameter value.

Provide the ObtainIPAutomatically parameter.
Provide the ObtainDNSAutomatically parameter.
Specify the HTTPPort parameter value.
Specify the ProductionProxyIPAddress parameter value.
Provide the EnableInternetProxy parameter.

New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance Example 3. Defining Settings of Proxy Appliance with Manual IP and DNS Setup

This example shows how to define settings of the Proxy_appliance_07 proxy appliance that is deployed with manual IP and DNS setup. The proxy appliance will be deployed with the following settings:

The proxy appliance will be deployed on the esx07.tech.local ESXi host.
The proxy appliance will use the 172.17.53.162 IP to connect to the production network.
The proxy appliance is assigned the 255.255.0.0 subnet mask.
The default gateway is assigned the 172.17.53.168 IP.
The IP of the preferred DNS server is set to 172.17.53.175.
The IP of the alternate DNS server is set to 172.17.53.176.

$ESXi = Get-VBRServer -Name "esx07.tech.local"

New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance -Server $ESXi -Name "Proxy_appliance_07" -IPAddress 172.17.53.162 -SubnetMask 255.255.0.0 -DefaultGateway 172.17.53.168 -PreferredDNSServer 172.17.53.175 -AlternateDNSServer 172.17.53.176

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ESXi variable.
Run the New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

Set the $ESXi variable as the Server parameter value.

Specify the Name parameter value.
Specify the IPAddress parameter value.
Specify the SubnetMask parameter value.
Specify the DefaultGateway parameter value.
Specify the PreferredDNSServer parameter value.
Specify the AlternateDNSServer parameter value.
