Requirements
The Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, and 2019 that will be hosting the vNIOS virtual appliance must have the Hyper-V role already installed and operating. Use the Microsoft PowerShell script provided by Infoblox (with Hyper-V Manager or SCVMM) to install the vNIOS virtual appliance on the Microsoft server.
Note
You must have Hyper-V-PowerShell to successfully deploy the vNIOS virtual appliance on a Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 server using the Infoblox provided PowerShell script. You can install Hyper-V-PowerShell using the command Install-WindowsFeature -Name Hyper-V-PowerShell. For Microsoft servers earlier than Windows 2012 R2, you must have PowerShell Management Library. Refer to https://pshyperv.codeplex.com/releases to download the PowerShell Management Library.
The following are required before you install the vNIOS virtual appliance on a Microsoft Windows server:
- The vNIOS software package. You can download the vNIOS software from the Infoblox Technical Support site. To download the software, you must have a valid login account on the Infoblox support site. Register your product at https://support.infoblox.com if you do not already have an account. The vNIOS software package consists of the following:
- You must uncompress the *.vhd.gz file before using it.
Windows PowerShell® script (.ps1) for the supported vNIOS appliance model. Download the file with an extension that corresponds to the appliance model number. For information about supported vNIOS appliance models, see the virtual appliances specification tables in this topic.
Note
Copy both the .vhd.gz and .ps1 files to the same directory.
- Make sure that you configure two virtual hard disks (.vhd and .vhdx) when you deploy reporting instances on the IB-V805, IB-V1405, and IB-V2205 appliances. For more information, see Deploying vNIOS Reporting Instances.
