Changes can be made to Guest VMs after recovery by executing pre-scripts and post-scripts as part of runbook execution. Run-book scripts are custom scripts written in Python (.py) that can be created and applied by the customer based on their own specific requirements.

Info

Learn more about runbooks.
Runbook scripts reside on and are executed from the management server (MSA).

 Steps to Execute Runbook Scripts

  • Log in to the MSA and create a scripts folder under vme2 (/var/lib/vme2/).

  • Upload a pre-script and/or post-script to the scripts folder.

  • Make the uploaded scripts executable (Use the chmod +x option).

  • In the JetStream DR UI (Create Runbook Group workflow) indicate the locations of the scripts and any parameters necessary to run the scripts.

Info

Script execution logs details can be reviewed from the MSA tasks logs.

...

  • Collect the sample script from the JetStream Software support team.

  • The script is written in Python and requires Python pyVmomi SDK module version (8.0.0.1.2) to be installed on the MSA or manually updated.

Info

Note: The script will not run correctly if the pyVmomi version is lower than (8.0.0.1.2).

  • To check the version of pyVmomi currently installed, run the command (#pip3 show pyvmomi).

  • If the version is incorrect, upgrade the module using the command (#pip3 install -U pyvmomi).

  • After placing the script in the correct folder and making it executable, run the help command to view its required parameters.
