Installing Votiro VA on Hyper-V

Votiro now supports running Votiro VA on Microsoft's Hyper-V virtual machine platform.

If you have installed Votiro VA on a VMware Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK), you can now convert that installation to a Microsoft Hyper-V installation.

Procedure

To install Votiro VA (version 9.9.344) on Hyper-V:

1. Convert the VMware Virtual Machine Disk (VMDK) file to a Microsoft Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) file. Currently, there are two Microsoft tools available to perform the conversion:
t Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). This is Microsoft's preferred solution. See Convert a VMware VM to Hyper-V in the VMM fabric.
t Microsoft Disk2vhd. For more information and to download the tool, see Disk2vhd.
t Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter (MVMC) is no longer available for download from Microsoft, so this is only relevant if you have downloaded this tool before Microsoft retired it.
2. Open Hyper-V Manager.
3. In the left pane, under Hyper-V Manager, select your server.
4. From the Actions pane, select New, and then select Virtual Machine.
5. From the New Virtual Machine Wizard, select Next.
6. For the Specify Generation option, you must select Generation 1 (this is the default). Do not use Generation 2 because the image will not be able to deploy.

7. Make the appropriate choices for your virtual machine on each of the pages. For more information, see New virtual machine options and defaults in Hyper-V Manager.
8. After verifying your choices in the Summary page, select Finish.
9. Go to the VM settings and disable Dynamic Memory on all 3 Nodes.

10. Configure parameters such as IP address, hostname, inventory.yaml, etc.
11. Edit the configuration yaml file:

vi /etc/netplan/00-installer-config.yaml

12. Change the network interface from ens160 to eth0. Repeat for all nodes.
13. If the Hyper-V uses the default interface name, which is eth0, edit line 76 to the following:

name: vip_interface

value: "eth0"

Note: The double quotes "" are mandatory.

14. Run the ansible install command, and verify that the installation completes successfully without any errors.
