I. Introduction
1, vdp Introduction
Introduction can refer to: VMware the vSphere DESCRIPTION the Data Protection (unfinished)
Official Chinese documents: https://docs.vmware.com/cn/VMware-vSphere/6.5/rn/data-protection-6111-release-notes.html
2, version
When present, the latest version 6.1.11, the following presentation is 6.1.3
3, ovf deployment deployment method
1) vsphere client, although vsphere6.5 client has abandoned a client, but the client must be version 6.0, you may have to write functional limitations, but can be deployed vdp
2) vsphere web client deployment, Here we introduce vsphere client deployment, deployed in the web client Introduction
3) In vcsa vsphere web client deployment, testing, failure encountered a problem
Note: The first two methods are similar to the actual deployment process, see their own preferences, it was said web client error-prone, during deployment, be careful not to easily refresh your browser, the deployment process is very smooth, the following were introduced two methods of deployment process
Two, vsphere client deployment
1, vsphere client login to the need to deploy a host of exsi
2, click File -> Templates deployment ovf
3. Select the file ovf
4, rub seized template information
5, accept the agreement
6, named
7. Select the resource pool
No screenshot, you can choose where clusters
8, the memory and disk format, thin provisioning choice, of course, be selected as desired
9, select the network map and here I chose a segment exsi vmnet8,192.168.216.0
But vsphere client can not seem to choose vds, is not only on vcsa configured?
10, setting ip address
11、即将完成对话框,上面选择的一个总结信息,下一步继续
记得勾上“部署后打开电源”
12、部署中,等待一会,不是很久
13、部署成功后打开虚拟控制台
ip地址不对是应为之前选错了目标网络,改过来重启即可
14、web登陆
访问上面的地址:https://192.168.216.200:8543/vdp-configure
用户名root/changeme登陆
三、exsi主机vsphere web client 创建ovf vdp
1、登陆到exsi主机,暂停vdp1
2、看一下部署交互界面的流程
3、点击创建
4、选择创建类型,选择从ovf创建
5、添加文件及虚拟机命名
6、选择存储
7、license 许可同意下一步
8、网络选择及磁盘配置
可以看到也是不能选择vds的
9、准备完成点击完成
注意:上面有个小提示部署这个虚拟机时不要刷新浏览器(可能容易出错吧)
10、然后看看最近的任务,已经开始了,然后就是等待一会吧
11、打开虚拟终端查看
注意:vsphere client 和vsphere web client 都是出现的问题:网络信息不对,手动改一下应该就可以了,这里就不演示效果了,暂停掉用vcsa部署看看吧
四、vcsa部署ovf-vdp
按照官方给的参考部署
1、vcsa部署vdp,整个部署过程(web client)
2、部署中出现的问题
1)问题1,无法下一步
2)在https://communities.vmware.com/message/2703672?tstart=0里面看到确实有人遇到此问题,这里没有深研试了一下 vsphere client (html5)的方式也是不行就卡在validating
3)可以试试一个方法,这里没有测试
I have same error and follow those steps: 1. download the ovf tool https://code.vmware.com/tool/ovf/4.1.0 2. from command line run ovftool oldfile.ova newfile.ova example C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware OVF Tool>ovftool vSphereDataProtection-6.1.5.ova vdp.ova
