This cmdlet downloads the latest JetStream DR software bundle, deploys the OVA with provided configuration details, registers the MSA VM with the vCenter, installs (configures) IO Filter software on a cluster. This cmdlet will uses DHCP to deploy the MSA VM and is not intended for typical installation in a production environment.

Use Case: During POCs, customers may not have a fully defined infrastructure ready with static IP reservations. In such case, JetStream DR software can be installed with DHCP using the Install-JetDRWithDHCP command to progress with the POC.

Important: It is strongly discouraged to deploy the MSA VM using DHCP for production. Any change to the appliance IP address can lead to a variety of unknown issues that are difficult to diagnose and resolve.

Install-JetDRWithDHCP Run command.


Command Parameters: Install-JetDRWithDHCP

Network

Network segment name to be allotted to the MSA VM.

HostName

FQDN of the MSA VM to be deployed.

MSACredential

Root user credential of the MSA VM.

VlanId

VLAN ID for the MSA VM. (Can be left blank if not required.)

Cluster

Cluster where the MSA VM will be deployed.

VMName

Name of the MSA VM to be deployed. (If left blank, the default name '[email protected]+jetdr' will be used.)

Datastore

Datastore to where the MSA VM will be deployed.

ProtectedCluster

Cluster to be configured for protection. (If multiple configurable clusters are available, select one.)

RegisterWithIp

Use this option if the FQDN provided is not present in the DNS records and vCenter cannot communicate with the MSA VM via FQDN. If this option is set to 'true', IP will be used for registration and communication.

(It is recommended to use a valid FQDN so if at a later point in time the IP of the MSA VM changes, communication can still occur through FQDN. If it is known the IP will not change and it is not possible to add a FQDN in the DNS server, this option can be used.)
