Parameters

Required Parameter Name Type Position Features Description
required
AwsAccount
AwsAccount named Specifies the VMware Cloud on AWS account that you want to link to the SDDC.
required
AwsVpcSubnet
AwsVpcSubnet[] named Specifies a private subnet range (RFC 1918) that you want to use for vCenter Server, NSX Manager, and the ESXi hosts. Choose a range that does not conflict with other networks that you want to connect to this SDDC. If the SDDC is stretched cluster, you should choose more than one private subnet range.
required
HostCount
Int32 named Specifies the number of the hosts that you want to create.
required
Name
String named Specifies the name of the created SDDC.
required
Region
String named Specifies the geographical region where you want to create the SDDC. You can find a list of the VMware Cloud on AWS regions in the table below. | Region Name | Region | |--------------------------|---------------| |US East (Ohio) |US_EAST_2 | |US East (N.

optional
HostType
VmcHostTypeEnum named Specifies the type of the hosts. The availale host types are: "I3EN" and "I3". If the host type is not specified, the default type "I3" is set.
optional
ManagementSubnetCidr
String named Specifies the IP subnet in a classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) format for the compute gateway.
optional
Outpost
VmcOutpost named
  • wildcards
  • Specifies the AWS Outpost on which you want to host this SDDC.
    optional
    Provider
    VmcProvider named Specifies the cloud provider (e.g. VMware Cloud on AWS) that you use to provide the physical resources for the newly created SDDC.
    optional
    RunAsync
    SwitchParameter named Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter, run "help About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console.
    optional
    SddcAppliancesSize
    VmcSddcSizeEnum named Specifies the SDDC appliances size.
    optional
    SddcType
    SddcType named Specifies if the SDDC is single or multi-host.
    optional
    Server
    VmcServer[] named Specifies the VMware Cloud on AWS servers on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of the Connect-Vmc cmdlet.
    optional
    StretchedCluster
    SwitchParameter named Specifies if you want to stretch out the SDDC to two availability zones in order to be highly available.
