Hi ,
Please mount the iso file to any virtual cd rom software and check . You should be able to see the package to install VR .
Hi,
The ISO file contains:
- the .ovf and .vmdks for fresh deployment
- update repository - packages needed when upgrading from a previous version
You should be able to mount the .iso image (to a drive letter in Windows or to a folder in Linux) or use some archive utility application to extract the .ovf and .vmdks needed for a fresh deployment.
Regards,
Martin
Thanks
for install VR with ovf file have to install that in 2 step :
1 - Deploy vSphere_Replication_SRM_OVF10.ovf with vSphere_Replication-support.vmdk , vSphere_Replication-system.vmdk ?
2 - Deploy vSphere_Replication_AddOn_OVF10.ovf with vSphere_Replication-support.vmdk , vSphere_Replication-system.vmdk ?
have to deploy 2 different vms ?
To deploy it you want to select all 3 of the files associated with the type of VR deployment you are doing and the 2 .vmdk files. So for example:
- VR with SRM
First VR appliance:
vSphere_Replication_SRM_OVF10.ovf & .mf & .cert
+
vSphere_Replication-support.vmdk
vSphere_Replication-system.vmdk
For a total of 5 files (each deployment will require a total of 5 files).
Additional VR appliances (after the first one for each vCenter)
vSphere_Replication_Server_SRM_OVF10.ovf & .mf & .cert
+
vSphere_Replication-support.vmdk
vSphere_Replication-system.vmdk
- VR standalone
First one:
vSphere_Replication_OVF10.ovf & .mf & .cert
+
vSphere_Replication-support.vmdk
vSphere_Replication-system.vmdk
Additional VR appliances (after the first one for each vCenter)
vSphere_Replication_AddOn_OVF10.ovf & .mf & .cert
+
vSphere_Replication-support.vmdk
vSphere_Replication-system.vmdk
Note that there isn't anything different in the deployed product between VR standalone and VR with SRM, this is just a change in OVF settings. This will all be published in a blog shortly, I'll post a link to it in this thread.
so thanks

Additional VR appliances (after the first one for each vCenter)

Hi,
You will only deploy vSphere_Replication_AddOn_OVF10.ovf file if you need to deploy additional or multiple vSphere Replication Servers into your existiing replication environment (e.g. for load balancing purpose). Fyi, each VR appliance has its operation limits. Please refers to kb.vmware.com/kb/2034768 to see these VR deployment limits.
