Configuring the VM Using the Hyper-V Manager Connection Console

Before you begin, read the list of information required to setup the system.
To use the Hyper-V Manager Connection console to configure the VM, perform the following steps:
  1. From the Hyper-V Manager, with your VM selected, right-click and select Connect.
    This opens the connection console.
  2. Enter yes (or y) to accept all license agreements.
  3. Enter the time zone. For example, enter America/Denver.
    The default is UTC.
  4. Enter the FQDN hostname for the virtual appliance (for example, onboard.company.com).
  5. If you want to enable HTTPS, press Enter for "yes" (default), or if not, enter n for "no."
  6. If you want to use a STATIC IP (rather than DHCP), press Enter for "yes" (default), or if not, enter n for "no."
    • If you specify "yes" (recommended), assign the IP address of the virtual appliance, subnet mask, and gateway and DNS server IP addresses for your network.
    • If you specify "no," DHCP is used to assign the IP address of the virtual appliance eth0 interface, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server IP addresses for your network. If you are not using DHCP, enter the IP address of the virtual appliance eth0 interface.
  7. Enter the IP address of the virtual appliance.
  8. Enter the subnet mask in the format 255.255.252.0.
  9. Enter the gateway IP address for your network.
  10. Enter the DNS server IP address.
  11. If you want to permit SSH access, then press Enter for "yes" (default), or if not, enter n for "no."
  12. Enter and confirm a service password. The service password is used by your support team for access to this system using SSH.
    Refer to the Cloudpath Command Reference on the Support tab for details.
    Note: The service account is not available if SSH access is not permitted.
  13. If you want to use an NTP server other than pool.net.org, then press Enter for "no" (default), or if not, enter y for "yes" to specify an NTP server.
    The setup is complete.
  14. Press Enter to reboot the system.
