Deploying DPX Master Server with Microsoft Hyper-V

Take the following steps to deploy the Catalogic DPX Master Server for Microsoft Hyper-V:

  1. Download the .ISO file from the Catalogic MySupport page:

    1. Login to using the provided credentials.

    2. From the product selection tiles, select Catalogic DPX.

    3. From the Installation & Upgrade section, select DPX Master Server.

    4. Click the link to start downloading the .ISO file.

  2. Log in to Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V to deploy the Catalogic DPX Master Server virtual appliance. Copy the .ISO file to the system.

Attention! Do not attempt to deploy the Catalogic DPX Master Server virtual appliance on your regular workstation for daily tasks. Always use a dedicated machine.

  1. Verify the file integrity of the .ISO file by comparing the MD5 checksum values. Open either Microsoft PowerShell or Microsoft Windows PowerShell. You can use a command similar to the following example:

    PS> Get-FileHash -Algorithm MD5 `
    -Path C:\Users\hyperv\Desktop\DPX-4.11-hyperv-installer.iso

    Compare this value with the original MD5 checksum value in the product page.

  2. In Microsoft File Explorer, open the folder to which you downloaded the .ISO image file.

  3. Right-click the .ISO image file and click Mount.

  4. Open the disk image drive DPX, and open DPX-setup.exe as Administrator to open the DPX 4.10 Setup Wizard window. Click Next to proceed.

  5. Read the Software License Agreement. If you accept this agreement, select I accept the agreement and click Next.

  6. Ensure that the product directory is set to the default path: C:\Program Files\DPX\. Or select another empty folder to install the product.

  7. Select one of the Virtual Switches in the list and click Next.

  8. Configure the network settings of the virtual appliance.
