Resolution
To deploy a virtual appliance through the Hyper-V System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) Console
- Copy the RSA Authentication Manager Hyper-V virtual appliance file (rsa-am-hyper-v-virtual-appliance-8.1.1.0.0.zip) to an existing Hyper-V VMM library server or a shared folder on a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 machine that can be added as a library server.
- Unzip the file to the current location.
- Download the updated create_vm.ps1 PowerShell script file attached to this article.
- Replace the original PowerShell script file.
- To deploy the Hyper-V virtual appliance, see the RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 Setup and Configuration Guide.
To deploy a virtual appliance through the Hyper-V Manager
- Copy the RSA Authentication Manager Hyper-V virtual appliance file (rsa-am-hyper-v-virtual-appliance-8.1.1.0.0.zip) to a location on the Microsoft Windows 2012 Hyper-V host machine.
- Unzip the file to the location where you want to create the virtual appliance, but keep the original zip file.
- After you create the virtual appliance, running the new appliance modifies the VHD files. For each virtual appliance that you deploy, you must extract a new set of VHD files from the .zip file.
Do not rename the VHD files that are included in the zip file.
- Download the updated create_vm.ps1 PowerShell script file attached to this article.
- Replace the original PowerShell script file.
- To deploy the Hyper-V virtual appliance, see the RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 Setup and Configuration Guide.
- Right-click the appliance in the Action pane.
- Click Reset in the context menu.
