Importing the Virtual Machine
Microsoft Hyper-V gives you the ability to import virtual appliances that have not been previously exported.
This is extremely helpful in situations where a host OS becomes corrupted, or if the most recent good backup
of a virtual appliance is a file-level backup of the host.
To import the virtual appliance:
1. Download the software image from the Download Software >ClearPass > Policy Manager >
<Current_Release_Number> > Hyper-V folder on the Aruba Support Center and unzip it to a folder on
your server to extract the files.
2. To extract the files, unzip the files to a folder on your server.
3. Open up the Hyper-V Manager Console.
4. From the Hyper-V Manager, select the name of the Hyper-V server, then right-click and select Import
Virtual Machine.
