Note
IBM Cloud does not allow reverse lookup of hostname in Cloud unless you have your domain name. If you
want to use DNS for name resolution in Cloud, you can either register your own domain or setup a DNS
server within IBM Cloud.
See "Virtual Appliance Configuration" on page77, to complete the DSM configuration.
DSM Installation on Hyper-V
This process assumes that you have Hyper-V installed and running with at least one virtual switch for the DSM virtual
appliance to use to connect to the network.
1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Hyper-V Manager.
2. From the Action pane, click New, and then click Virtual Machine.
3. In the New Virtual Machine Wizard, click Next.
4. On the Specify Name and Location page, specify the name of the virtual machine and where you want to store
it.
5. On the Generation for the Machine page, select “Generation 1” for the virtual machine.
Note
Generation 2 does not support CentOS 5.x
6. On the Memory page, specify a minimum of 4GB memory to run the guest operating system for the virtual
machine.
We recommend that you disable the Use Dynamic Memory for this virtual machine option, which is enabled
by default. This is to prevent memory over commits.
7. On the Networking page, connect the network adapter to an existing virtual switch to establish network
connectivity at this point. A second (optional) switch can be added later if desired.
If you want to use a remote image server to install an operating system on your test virtual machine, select the
external network.
8. On the Connect Virtual Hard Disk page, select Create a virtual hard disk. Specify a size for the virtual hard
disk based on the number of agents you plan to install.
Refer to "Virtual machine hardware requirements" on page70, for the virtual machine hardware requirements.
9. On the Installation Options page, select the following option to install the operating system:
Install an operating system from a boot CD/DVD-ROM. Click Browse to navigate to the DSM ISO file location
and select the file. Click Next.
10. Review your selections and click Finish.
Note
Make sure the hard drive is set as first in the boot order, before you power on your virtual machine.
11. Connect to the virtual machine console, and power on the machine to build the DSM.
Note
The installation takes approximately 30 minutes. It runs in the background. Once the DSM is ready, you
see a login prompt.
