Using PowerCLI to Deploy the Site Recovery Manager 8.3 Appliance

My latest project was to rebuild one of my labs to run vSphere 7 and Site Recovery Manager 8.3. In my current role I am constantly am deploying new lab environments for certain demos. If i can avoid using a manual process for it I will, in this case I am showing how you can deploy the SRM OVF using PowerCLI.

Pre-Requsites

• VMware PowerCLI

Link to Script

• deploy-srm83.ps1

Preparing to Execute the Script

The script is pretty straight forward, you will need to extract the SRM 8.3 ISO and fill in the appropriate variables on the script.

Execute the Script

Run the following command.

Hope this helps you out, leave any feedback or questions below.
