vLAB - Copy

Post by BackupTest90 »

Hey Guys,
I have two virtual Labs in my Veeam-GUI. (Lab1 & Lab2)

I need 8-10 additonal vlABs and every vLAB is the same to Lab1/Lab2 and very hard to click and configure via GUI. These are labs with Advancedconfigurtion, 10 isolated Networks and a lot of network settings.

My wish is, to copy Lab1 and/or Lab2 and change the ApplianceIP/Name. The rest of the lab is the same.

Are there any possibles, to copy these lab with powershell command? There are a lot of powershellcommands available but I didnt't find the copy-command. :(

I hope you know, what I am mean.

Regards,
Martin

If those the same VMs, you can try to clone them, using New-VM PowerCLI cmdlet and then connect them to backup console with Connect-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet. Thanks!

No, I didn't find with the Find-VSBVirtualLab cmdlet the cloned lab and so it was not possible to connect this to the console. furthermore it was not possible to, to change the configs (hostname, ip) from the proxyappliance. after a reboot the proxy load the defaultconfiguration.
