Installing the Proxy Agent for Hyper-V or XenServer
A system administrator installs proxy agents to communicate with Hyper-V and XenServer server
instances. The agents discover available work, retrieve host information, and report completed work items
and other host status changes.
Hyper-V and XenServer Requirements
Hyper-V Hypervisor proxy agents require system administrator credentials for installation.
The credentials under which to run the agent service must have administrative access to the installation
host.
Administrator-level credentials are required for all XenServer or Hyper-V instances on the hosts to be
managed by the agent.
If you are using Xen pools, all nodes within the Xen pool must be identified by their fully qualified domain
names.
Note By default, Hyper-V is not configured for remote management. A vRealize Automation Hyper-V
proxy agent cannot communicate with a Hyper-V server unless remote management has been enabled.
See the Microsoft Windows Server documentation for information about how to configure Hyper-V for
remote management.
Install the Hyper-V or XenServer Agent
The Hyper-V agent manages Hyper-V server instances. The XenServer agent manages XenServer
server instances.
Prerequisites
n
The IaaS components, including the Manager Service and Website, are installed.
n
Download the IaaS Installer.
n
Verify that Hyper-V Hypervisor proxy agents have system administrator credentials.
n
Verify that the credentials under which to run the agent service have administrative access to the
installation host.
n
Verify that all XenServer or Hyper-V instances on the hosts to be managed by the agent have
administrator-level credentials.
n
If you are using Xen pools, note that all nodes within the Xen pool must be identified by their fully
qualified domain names.
vRealize Automation cannot communicate with or manage any node that is not identified by its fully
qualified domain name within the Xen pool.
