Introduction
This YAML template documentation provides information regarding each of the editable fields within the
userinput.yaml file, as well as the instruction for editing the fields within the file.
This document assumes the targeted audience has a reasonable understanding of VMware vCloud NFV 2.0
and of Dell EMC hardware.
The following fields are found throughout this document with the following descriptions:
Key – Field within YAML that requires a given value
Option – Indicates whether the key is optional or mandatory
- Optional keys – Values for these keys are optional for the user to provide
- Mandatory keys – Values for these keys are required and cannot be left unconfigured
Description – Brief overview of the specified key
Default values – Default value(s) assigned to a key if it is optional and if the user does not provide a
value
Type – Describes the datatype of the key. Examples include String, IP, Integer(INT),
Boolean(True/False) FQDN, etc.
Example – Provides an example of what the value to the key can be
KEYPATH – The path to a specific key within the yaml, for example, a file path of ManagementPod >
iDRAC > CommonData has a KEYPATH of ManagementPod/iDRAC/CommonData
In a typical Site Recovery Manager installation, the protected site provides business-critical datacenter
services. The recovery site is an alternative facility to which the Site Recovery Manager can migrate these
services.
The protected site can be any site where vCenter Server supports a critical business need. The recovery site
can be located thousands of miles away from the protected site. The recovery site can be in the same room
as a way of establishing redundancy. The recovery site is usually located in a facility that is unlikely to be
affected by environmental, infrastructure, or other disturbances that affect the protected site. For additional
information, see the About Protected Sites and Recovery Sites section of the VMware Site Recovery Manager
Installation and Configuration Guide.
