This is the dvSwitch we created in Creating the dVSwitch.
Note down the name of the port group ending with "-OVSPG", for example,
"<CLUSTER_NAME>-OVSPG."
"dataNetworkPortgroup":"DVRS Datapath",
"mgmtNetworkPortgroup":"Lab Management",
"vmNetworkPortgroup":"<CLUSTER_NAME>-OVSPG"
Deployment of dVRS
Note: If you have a small number of hypervisors, you can manually deploy the OVF
Template from the vSphere Client (File > Deploy OVF Template).
Information Needed
Fill in the metadata in the "vrs-metafile.config" file:
• vCenter IP
• Hypervisor(s) IP, login, pass
• IP of to assign to the DVRS VM(s) (Management and Data network: IP, netmask, gateway)
• HP controller IPs

Deployment of dVRS on ESXI with OpenStack or CloudStack
Before installing dVRS on ESXI, add a configuration parameter to the "vrs-metafile.config" file.
1. Find the last line in the properties section of this file is:
“requireNuageMetadata”: TRUE_OR_FALSE
2. Change this line to:
“requireNuageMetadata”:”false”
Verifying Deployment
DRS Enablement
Verify that the cluster has DRS enabled (Cluster > right click > Edit settings > Cluster

machine.
