Surebackup Powershell ProductionNetwork

[MaartenK]

Hello,

To create a Powershell script for a VirtualLab there is an option called -ProductionNetwork <VBRViVirtualSwitch>

Is it possible to use an Distibusted PortGroup if using a DVS? Using the GUI there is no problem?

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... tml?ver=95

with this command I only see the DVS but not the portgroups?

Code: Select all

get-VBRViVirtualSwitch -Server $ESXHost

with this command I see the PGs

Code: Select all

Get-VBRViServerNetworkInfo -Server $ESXHost

How can I select the proper PG for the parameter -ProductionNetwork to go and proceed to create the VirtuaLab?

In the GUI I see a lot more options?
Lab name:NAME
ESX name:ESXHOST
Datastore:VOL211

Appliance:
Name:VR-LAB
Folder name:SUREBACKUP
IP:<Obtain automatically>
DNS:<Obtain automatically>

Network configuration type:advanced single-host

Network options:
Isolated network:SUREBACKUP
Masquerade IP:172.17.41.0
Appliance IP:172.16.40.11
DHCP:disabled

Network mapping:
VLAN70 --> SUREBACKUP

Unfortunately, the get-VBRViVirtualSwitch command only support vSwitches, no DVS.
Also the Get/Add-VSBVirtualLab command only supports Basic Single Host Labs.

From what i can see, you are setting up an Advanced Single Host Lab using DVS.
This will work from the GUI, but not when using PowerShell (as you correctly mentioned).

Thank you for your reply.

Thats unfortunate. Do you know if theese Powershell options become available in the next release (for example Veeam10?)

Sorry, i don't have any info on that yet.
Then again, maybe someone from Veeam has some spoilers
