This article describes how to install ICX-Core in a Hyper-V environment.

Prerequisites

Note icon The virtual machine must have an internet connection during the installation process


Hyper-V Manager

Run the Hyper-V Manager:

First, we need to create an External Network Adapter. From the Actions tab, choose Virtual Switch Manager:

Select External and press Create Virtual Switch

Select Generation 2 as the Generation of the Virtual Machine

New Virtual Machine 4.png


Specify 1028MB as the RAM required for the Virtual Machine, and disable Dynamic Memory

New Virtual Machine 5.png


Connect your new Virtual Machine to the Default Switch for Hyper V. We will add the new External Network to the Virtual Machine in a later step.

Ubuntu

The Ubuntu installation will automatically launch after Start in the previous section. Note that while the screen captures are from VirtualBox, the process remains the same for Hyper-V

Choose your language:

ICX VB12.png


Define your keyboard:

ICX VB13.png


Confirm the network adapter:

ICX VB14.png


Enter Proxy if needed:

ICX VB15.png


Confirm mirror:

ICX VB16.png


Filesystem:

ICX VB17.png


Select HDD:

ICX VB18.png


Confirm partition:

ICX VB19.png


Confirm installation:

ICX VB20.png


Enter profile and credentials. VERY important to not forget this. Write it down!:

ICX VB21.png


Note icon The selected Username will also name the host folder for the ICX-Core


Select Install OpenSSH server:

ICX VB22.png


Skip:

ICX VB23.png


The installation is now running:

ICX VB24.png


Installation complete! Hit Enter key to reboot:

ICX VB25.png


The virtual machine reboots and starts up with Ubuntu running in terminal mode.

ICX-Core

Log in with the username and password defined earlier. Use command "ip a" to see the IP address that the virtual machine has:

ICX VB26.png








Connect to the virtual machine with WinSCP ...

ICX VB27.png


... and copy the ICX-Core installation file from your computer to the virtual machine:

ICX VB28.png


Note icon the target folder must be /home/[Username]/


Close WinSCP.

Install ICX-Core using the command (case sensitive):

sudo tar -xf ICX-Core-01.00-bionic-1.0.3.0.apt.tar install.sh --to-command /bin/sh


Where ICX-Core-01.00-bionic-1.0.3.0.apt.tar is the ICX-Core file name.

ICX VB29.png


After installation, you can access the ICX Web from any PC in the network by using the IP address of the virtual machine.

ICX VB30.png


If your Hyper-V system is Headless, and you cannot access the Web Interface from the Default Network Adapter, use the following command to enable port 80 in the Filters from the console. Don't forget to enable the correct filters in the AlphaWeb once you login.

sudo iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
