I've seen some articles and documentation on how to deploy the Site Recovery Manager appliance using the ovftool, but they've been very basic. I was hoping there was a way to customize the deployment even further .... such as setting an IP address, mask, gateway, etc.
From the SRM 8.3 Installation Manual:
ovftool
--acceptAllEulas
--ipAllocationPolicy=dhcpPolicy --ipProtocol=IPv4
--deploymentOption=light | standard
--name=SRM-VA-NAME
--datastore=DATASTORE-NAME
--network=NETWORK-NAME
--net:"Network 1"=NETWORK-NAME
--prop:varoot-password=ROOT-PASSWORD
--prop:vaadmin-password=ADMIN-PASSWORD
--prop:dbpassword=DB-PASSWORD
--prop:ntpserver=NTP-SERVER
http://HOST/PATH/srm-va_OVF10.ovf vi://VC_USERNAME:VC_PASSWORD@VC_ADDRESS/DATACENTER-NAME/host/CLUSTER-NAME/Resources/RESOURCE-
POOL-NAME
I've opened up the srm-va_OVF10.ovf file itself to try and pick it apart, but not having any luck. Is it possible to add additional prop values?
Thanks in advance for your help!
