Vagrant

For testing purposes, I have added a Vagrantfile in this repository.

This is tested with the following setup:

• Windows 10, Version 1909 (Probably any OS compatible with Vagrant v2.1.5 and VirtualBox v5.2.36 should work.)

• Vagrant v2.1.5:

  choco install vagrant --version=2.1.5

• VirtualBox v5.2.36:

  choco install virtualbox --version=5.2.36

• StefanScherer/windows_2016 box based on his packer templates.

• Run vagrant up to boot the Vagrant box.

Additional notes

• If required, put your packages in the packages folder.
• The contents of this directory will be copied to c:\temp
• The contents of the packages folder will be available in c:\packages

vbr_all.ps1 Vagrant only (Full VBR PoC setup)

• Put a license file inside the packages folder.
• In the settings.ps1 file:
  • Change $vbr_licenseFile to 'c:\packages\myfile.lic'
  • Change $vbr_sqlServer to 'VAGRANT\SQLEXPRESS'
  • Change $vbr_username to 'vagrant'
  • Change $vbr_password to 'vagrant'

After you have installed these packages, you can continue with step 2 above.

vone_all.ps1 Vagrant only (Full VONE PoC setup)

• Put a license file inside the packages folder.
• In the settings.ps1 file:
  • Change $vone_vcSelectedType to 2 (skip the virtual infrastructure configuration)
  • Change $vone_backupAddLater to 1 (skip the add of VBR to VONE)
  • Change $vone_licenseFile to 'c:\packages\myfile.lic'
  • Change $vone_sqlServer to 'VAGRANT\SQLEXPRESS'
  • Change $vone_username to 'vagrant'
  • Change $vone_password to 'vagrant'

After you have installed these packages, you can continue with step 2 above.
