Install a connector in a Microsoft Hyper-V environment
Before you begin
The connector footprint is as follows:
Processors | Intel-VT or AMD-V processor with hardware virtualization enabled four cores recommended. |
Memory (RAM) | 8GB recommended. |
Storage | 16GB recommended. |
Network | 1 vNIC 1 GB/s recommended. Static IP address or dynamic IP assigned from DHCP server. DNS |
If the solution is being used to access browser based applications, we recommend configuring a connector with 4 vCPUs, 8 GB RAM and 40GB storage space at a minimum.
How to
- Create and download a connector in EAA.
- Open your Microsoft Hyper-V management console and import the downloaded .vhd file into your Hyper-V environment.
- In Microsoft Hyper-V Manager, create a new VM. A wizard opens to guide you through the process.
- Specify a name for the connector VM.
- Select the appropriate settings for Generation (Generation 1 for connector).
- Configure the memory for the connector (8GB).
- Select the NIC for the connector to communicate with the internal network, which should have a route to the internet and be able to communicate with the EAA service.
- Specify the location where you downloaded and saved the .vhd file.
- Verify the configuration in the summary Tab and click Finish.
- Start your connector VM.
- Return to the EAA Management Portal and verify that the connector shows the private and public IP addresses assigned to it.
- Click Click here to approve.
- Wait while the EAA service verifies the connector.
What you should see
Your connector now runs on Microsoft Hyper-V server.
