Before you install Cisco UCS Director for Microsoft Hyper-V, complete the following steps:
Install Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).
If you only have a Hyper-V environment, must be deployed on a Hyper-V host.
Configure an SCVMM user account with administrator privileges for Cisco UCS Director.
Download the Cisco UCS Director software from the Download Software area on Cisco.com.
Extract the Cisco UCS Director VHD and db files from the digitally signed zip file to your local disk. See Digitally Signed Images.
The minimum system requirements depend upon how many VMs you plan to manage. We recommend deploying a VM on a local datastore with a minimum of 25 Mbps I/O speed, or on an external datastore with a minimum of 50 Mbps I/O speed.
Note |
|
For information about minimum system requirements for a multi-node setup, see Cisco UCS Director Multi-Node Installation and Configuration Guide.
If you plan to manage up to 2,000 VMs, the environment must meet at least the minimum system requirements in the following table.
Element | Minimum Supported Requirement |
---|---|
vCPU |
4 |
Memory |
16 GB |
Primary Disk (Hard Disk 1) |
100 GB |
Secondary Disk (Hard Disk 2) |
100 GB |
Disk Read I/O Bandwidth |
4 MBps |
Disk Write I/O Bandwidth |

You must also edit the MEMORY_MIN and MEMORY_MAX setting in /opt/infra/bin/inframgr.env as follows:
MEMORY_MIN=8192m
MEMORY_MAX=8192m
Edit the following parameters in the /etc/my.cnf file.

Step 5 |
In the Name and Location pane, do the following:
|
||
Step 6 |
In the Select Generation pane, choose Generation1. With Generation1, this virtual machine provides the same virtual hardware to the virtual machine as in previous versions of Hyper-V. |
||
Step 7 |
In the Assign Memory pane, enter the amount of memory to allocate to this VM (16 GB minimum) and click Next. |
||
Step 8 |
In the Configure Networking pane, click Next to accept the default option in the Connection field. The default option is Not Connected. |
||
Step 9 |
In the Connect Virtual Hard Disk pane, choose Attach a virtual disk later and click Next. |
||
Step 10 |
In the Completing the New Virtual Machine Wizard pane, verify the settings and click Finish. |
||
Step 11 |
In the Navigation pane, right-click the new VM and choose Settings. |
||
Step 12 |
In the Navigation pane, choose IDE Controller 0. |
||

||
Step 18 |
In the Navigation pane, choose Processor. |
||
Step 19 |
In the Processor pane, enter the recommended value (4 vCPU). |
||
Step 20 |
Remove the network adapter that was created when you created the new VM. |
||
Step 21 |
In the Navigation pane, choose Add Hardware. |
||
Step 22 |
In the Add Hardware pane, choose Network Adapter and click OK. |
