Onboard a ZTNA Connector Using Hyper-V

Onboard a ZTNA Connector using Microsoft Hyper-V.
To onboard a ZTNA Connector using a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine (VM), complete the following steps.
Before you start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
  • Download the ZTNA Connector Hyper-V image from the Customer Support Portal (CSP) under UpdatesSoftware UpdatesPrisma Access ZTNA Connector for Hyper-V.
  • Make sure that you have a Hyper-V VM that meets the minimum hosting environments for ZTNA Connector.
  1. Select WorkflowsZTNA ConnectorConnectors, and find the connector you created for the Hyper-V VM, Copy Token in the Status area, and copy the Key and Secret values.
  2. Upload the vhd image you downloaded from the CSP to the Hyper-V VM.
    Make sure that the location you choose is reachable from the Hyper-V VM.
    One (vhd) file is required for each Hyper-V VM.
  3. Go to Hyper-V Manager and create a new virtual machine by selecting ActionsNewVirtual Machine.
    This workflow shows the steps you perform to deploy Hyper-V VMs in a Microsoft server. The Hyper-V UI might look different in your environment.
  4. Go to the Next screen and enter a unique name for the VM and go to the Next page.
  5. (Optional) To change the location of the VM, select Store the virtual machine in a different location and select the location.
  6. Select Generation 1 as the VM generation and go to the Next page.
    This is the generation that the ZTNA Connector vhd file supports.
  7. Assign memory to the VM.
    Allocate a minimum memory of 8192 MB (8 GB), which meets the minimum requirements for a Hyper-V VM and go to the Next page.
  8. Configure networking for your VM; then, go to the Next page.
    The networking you use depends on your configuration. This example uses a NAT Switch for the networking.
  9. Connect the virtual hard disk.
    1. Select Use an existing virtual hard disk and Browse for the vhd file you downloaded
    2. Select the vhd file you downloaded the Open it; then, go to the Next page.
  10. Finish the new VM wizard.
    Hyper-V creates the VM.
  11. Make sure that your VM has at least four processors by going to the Processor area and making sure that you select at least 4 virtual processors.
  12. Start the VM.
  13. Connect to the serial console.
  14. Wait for the interactive CLI install program initializes, then Configure the ION model, key, and secret.

    Choose a Number or (Q)uit: 14 WARNING! After this configuration is submitted, all hardware will be signed, logged, and permanently tied to the ION Key/Secret Key in the Prisma SDWAN Cloud Controller. WHAT THIS MEANS is that hardware cannot be added/removed (disks, network cards) after this 'SUBMIT' function. If any hardware changes are required beyond this 'SUBMIT', the ION will need to be re-deployed with a new ION Key and Secret Key. If there is a need to add or remove hardware, please answer 'N' below and shut down the ION and make the changes now. Submit these changes now?[N]: y Building configuration...
