# New-VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions

## Short Description
Creates the [`VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions`](vbrcloudtenanthwplanoptions.md) objects that contains hardware plan options.

**Platform**: VMware, Hyper-V

**Product Edition**: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus, Veeam Universal License

Requires a VCP license.

## Syntax
```
New-VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions -HardwarePlan <VBRCloudHardwarePlan> [-EnableWanAcceleration]
 [-WanAccelerator <CWanAccelerator>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet creates a [`VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions`](vbrcloudtenanthwplanoptions.md) object that contains a hardware plan. This object is used in the [`New-VBRCloudTenantReplicationResources`](new-vbrcloudtenantreplicationresources.md) cmdlet to specify the hardware plan options.

You can also enable WAN acceleration and set a target WAN accelerator. Note that the tenant who plan to use the WAN acceleration must configure a source WAN accelerator on their side.

## Output Object
[`VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions`](vbrcloudtenanthwplanoptions.md)

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1. Creating Hardware Plan Options Without WAN Acceleration

This example shows how to create a hardware plan options object without WAN acceleration.

```
$HwPlan = Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -Name "VMware Silver"
$options = New-VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions -HardwarePlan $HwPlan
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan`](get-vbrcloudhardwareplan.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save it to the `$HwPlan` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions` cmdlet. Set the `$HwPlan` variable as the `HardwarePlan` parameter value. Save the result to the `$options` variable for further use.

::: example
### Example 2. Enabling WAN Acceleration for VMware Hardware Plan

This example shows how to enable WAN acceleration for a VMware hardware plan.

```
$HwPlan = Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -Platform VMWare -Name "VMware Silver"
$wan = Get-VBRWANAccelerator -Name "Columbus WAN"
$options = New-VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions -HardwarePlan $HwPlan -EnableWanAcceleration -WanAccelerator $wan
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan`](get-vbrcloudhardwareplan.md) cmdlet. Set the `VMWare` option for the `Platform` parameter. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save it to the `$HwPlan` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRWANAccelerator`](get-vbrwanaccelerator.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save it to the `$wan` variable.
3. Run the `New-VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions` using the saved variables. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$HwPlan` variable as the `HardwarePlan` parameter value.
   - Provide the `EnableWanAcceleration` parameter.
   - Set the `$wan` variable as the `WanAccelerator` parameter value.
   - Save the result to the `$options` variable for further use.

::: example
### Example 3. Enabling WAN Acceleration for VMware Hardware Plan

This example shows how to enable WAN acceleration for a Hyper-V hardware plan.

```
$HwPlan = Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan -Platform HyperV -Name "Hyper-V Silver"
$wan = Get-VBRWANAccelerator -Name "Columbus WAN"
$options = New-VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions -HardwarePlan $HwPlan -EnableWanAcceleration -WanAccelerator $wan
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRCloudHardwarePlan`](get-vbrcloudhardwareplan.md) cmdlet. Set the `HyperV` option for the `Platform` parameter. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save it to the `$HwPlan` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRWANAccelerator`](get-vbrwanaccelerator.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save it to the `$wan` variable.
3. Run the `New-VBRCloudTenantHwPlanOptions` using the saved variables. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `$HwPlan` variable as the `HardwarePlan` parameter value.
   - Provide the `EnableWanAcceleration` parameter.
   - Set the `$wan` variable as the `WanAccelerator` parameter value.
   - Save the result to the `$options` variable for further use.
