Add a New Hyper-V Server Connection to the Manager

You can add a Hyper-V connection using the Administration tab of the CA Server Automation user interface.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the CA Server Automation user interface from the Start menu. Click Administration, Configuration.

   The Configuration page appears.

2. Select Hyper-V Server from the Provisioning section in the left pane.

   The right pane refreshes and displays the managed Hyper-V Servers.

3. Click (Add) on the Hyper-V Servers pane toolbar.

   The New Hyper-V Server dialog appears.

4. Enter the required connection data (server name, user, password) and click OK.

   If the network connection has been established successfully, the Hyper-V Server is added to the top right Hyper-V Servers pane with a green status icon. CA Server Automation discovers the Hyper-V Server automatically.

   If the connection fails, the Validation Failed dialog appears. If you click Yes, CA Server Automation adds the Hyper-V Server to the list with a red status icon indicating a connection failure. If you click No, nothing is added. For troubleshooting the connection, see Troubleshoot the Hyper-V Server Connection.
