Creating a Virtual ActivID Appliance

You can create the ActivID Appliance virtual machine using the following tools:

VMware® ESXi® server or VMware Workstation	Microsoft® Hyper-V® or Azure
VMware ESXi 5.5 and up to 6.7 For support of later versions, contact HID Global Technical Support. VMware vSphere Client 5.5 and later	Hyper-V v10.0.x on either Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2016. Hyper-V host Windows version 9.0 Note: Microsoft Azure deployment requires creating a VM with Microsoft Hyper-V and then migrating to Azure.

For all cases, the minimum system requirements for the VM are:

CPU – 4 CPUs (a minimum of 2 CPUs can be used)
16 GB RAM allocated to the VM
Two virtual hard disks:
- Hard disk 1 drive 0:0 should be 100 GB (OS)
- Hard disk 2 drive 0:1 should be 100 GB (Oracle® database)
One bridged virtual network adapter.

Note: The VM is delivered with the recommended settings. However, you can modify them to match your available resources.
