| Hyper-V Installation Steps |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| #. Download the operating system from `Windows Server 2012 R2 |
| <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/hh534429>`_. |
| |
| #. Install it on the host as given in `Install and Deploy Windows Server 2012 |
| R2 <http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831620>`_. |
| |
| #. Post installation, ensure that you enable Hyper-V role in the server. |
| |
| #. If no Active Directory domain exists in your deployment, create one |
| and add users to the domain. |
| |
| #. In the Active Directory domain, ensure that all the Hyper-v hosts are |
| added so that all the hosts are part of the domain. |
| |
| #. Add the domain user to the following groups on the Hyper-V host: |
| Hyper-V Administrators and Local Administrators. |
| |
| |
| Installing the CloudStack Agent on a Hyper-V Host |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| The Hyper-V Agent helps CloudStack perform operations on the Hyper-V |
| hosts. This Agent communicates with the Management Server and controls |
| all the instances on the host. Each Hyper-V host must have the Hyper-V |
| Agent installed on it for successful interaction between the host and |
| CloudStack. The Hyper-V Agent runs as a Windows service. Install the |
| Agent on each host using the following steps. |
| |
| CloudStack Management Server communicates with Hyper-V Agent by using |
| HTTPS. For secure communication between the Management Server and the |
| host, install a self-signed certificate on port 8250. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| The Agent installer automatically perform this operation. You have not |
| selected this option during the Agent installation, it can also be done |
| manually as given in step 1. |
| |
| #. Create and add a self-signed SSL certificate on port 8250: |
| |
| #. Create A self-signed SSL certificate: |
| |
| .. sourcecode:: bash |
| |
| # New-SelfSignedCertificate -DnsName apachecloudstack -CertStoreLocation Cert:\LocalMachine\My |
| |
| This command creates the self-signed certificate and add that to |
| the certificate store ``LocalMachine\My``. |
| |
| #. Add the created certificate to port 8250 for https communication: |
| |
| .. sourcecode:: bash |
| |
| netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:8250 certhash=<thumbprint> appid="{727beb1c-6e7c-49b2-8fbd-f03dbe481b08}" |
| |
| Thumbprint is the thumbprint of the certificate you created. |
| |
| #. Build the CloudStack Agent for Hyper-V as given in `Building CloudStack |
| Hyper-V Agent <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Creating+Hyperv+Agent+Installer>`__. |
| |
| #. As an administrator, run the installer. |
| |
| #. Provide the Hyper-V admin credentials when prompted. |
| |
| When the agent installation is finished, the agent runs as a service |
| on the host machine. |
| |
| |
| Physical Network Configuration for Hyper-V |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| You should have a plan for how the hosts will be cabled and which |
| physical NICs will carry what types of traffic. By default, CloudStack |
| will use the device that is used for the default route. |
| |
| If you are using Hyper-V 2012 R2, manually create an external virtual |
| switch before adding the host to CloudStack. If the Hyper-V host is |
| added to the Hyper-V manager, select the host, then click Virtual Switch |
| Manager, then New Virtual Switch. In the External Network, select the |
| desired NIC adapter and click Apply. |
| |
| If you are using Windows 2012 R2, virtual switch is created |
| automatically. |
| |
| |
| Storage Preparation for Hyper-V (Optional) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| CloudStack allows administrators to set up shared Primary Storage and |
| Secondary Storage that uses SMB. |
| |
| #. Create a SMB storage and expose it over SMB Version 3. |
| |
| For more information, see `Deploying Hyper-V over SMB |
| <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134187.aspx>`_. |
| |
| You can also create and export SMB share using Windows. After the |
| Windows Server 2012 R2 installation, select File and Storage Services |
| from Server Roles to create an SMB file share. For more information, |
| see `Creating an SMB File Share Using Server Manager |
| <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134187.aspx#BKMK_Step3>`_. |
| |
| #. Add the SMB share to the Active Directory domain. |
| |
| The SMB share and the hosts managed by CloudStack need to be in the |
| same domain. However, the storage should be accessible from the |
| Management Server with the domain user privileges. |
| |
| #. While adding storage to CloudStack, ensure that the correct domain, |
| and credentials are supplied. This user should be able to access the |
| storage from the Management Server. |
