Install an Enterprise Application Access (EAA) connector in Microsoft Hyper-V environment.

Installation Requirements

Compatible virtual environment:

• Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 (Windows server 2012 R2), Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 (Windows server 2012), Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 (Hyper-V server 2012)

Computing capability:

• CPU. Intel-VT or AMD-V with hardware virtualization enabled four cores
• Memory. 8 GB RAM
• Storage. 16 GB hard drive disk space

Network:

• A private IP address inside the Local Area Network (LAN), either DHCP or static. The connector should run close to internal applications, possibly in the same subnet as the application, and be able to communicate with the application in test.
• Dial-out access to the Internet on TCP port 443. A connector must reach the Enterprise Application Access service over the internet. This communication is carried out over an open TCP port 443, and only needs outbound connectivity.
• Access to the applications. The port and protocol must be accessible in the LAN.
• A firewall that allows the connector's private IP address to reach the application on configured port numbers. For example, a firewall rule to allow the connector to reach the application server internal IP address or hostname (if DNS is configured) on port numbers 80, 443, or any application specific port.

3. Specify a name for the connector VM.

4. Select the appropriate settings for Generation (Generation 1 for connector).

5. Configure the memory for the connector (8 GB).

6. 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.

7. Specify the location where you downloaded and saved the .vhd file.

8. Verify the configuration in Summary and click Finish.

9. Start your connector VM.

Verify the connector is running
