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 identied by their fully qualied domain
names.
N By default, Hyper-V is not congured 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 congure 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.
