Examples

Set-VBRViVirtualLabProxyApplianceExample 1. Specifying Production Network and Datastore for Proxy Appliance

This example shows how to specify a production network and a datastore for a proxy appliance.

  • 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.

 

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

$network = Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server $ESXi

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

$proxyapp = New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance -Server $ESXi -ObtainIPAutomatically -ObtainDNSAutomatically -Name "Proxy_appliance_05"

Set-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance -ProxyAppliance $proxyapp -Datastore $datastore -Network $network[6]

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ESXi variable.
  2. Run the Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo cmdlet. Set the $ESXi variable as the Server parameter value. Save the result to the $network variable.
  3. 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.
  4. Run the New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance cmdlet. Specify the Server, ObtainIPAutomatically, ObtainDNSAutomatically and Name parameter values. Save the result to the $proxyapp variable.
  5. Run the Set-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance cmdlet. Specify the following settings:
  • Set the $proxyapp variable as the ProxyAppliance parameter value.
  • Set the $datastore variable as the Datastore parameter value.
  • Set the $network[6] 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 seventh production network in the array).

Set-VBRViVirtualLabProxyApplianceExample 2. Modifying IP Address of Production Network

This example shows how to modify an IP address of a production network.

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

$proxyapp = 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

Set-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance -ProxyAppliance $proxyapp -IPAddress 172.17.53.167

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-VBRServer cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $ESXi variable.
  2. Run the New-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance cmdlet. Specify the Server, Name, IPAddress, SubnetMask, DefaultGateway, PreferredDNSServer and AlternateDNSServer parameter values. Save the result to the $proxyapp variable.
  3. Run the Set-VBRViVirtualLabProxyAppliance cmdlet. Set the $proxyapp variable as the ProxyAppliance parameter value. Specify the IPAddress parameter value.
