  13. To meet the minimum requirements, you also need to add a 2-TB virtual data disk. In the Settings page:

    1. В области слева выберите Контроллер SCSI.
    2. In the right pane, select Hard Drive, and click Add.

    Add hard drive on Settings page

  14. On the Hard drive page, select the Virtual hard disk option and click New. The New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard starts.

Примечание.

You can't provision a new Data Box Gateway by copying your configured VHD. Each new Data Box Gateway virtual device must be provisioned from a virtual device image for Hyper-V that is downloaded from the Azure portal.

Start the virtual device and get the IP

Perform the following steps to start your virtual device and connect to it.

To start the virtual device

  1. Start the virtual device.

    Start virtual device

  2. After the device is running, select the device, right click, and select Connect.

  3. You may have to wait 10-15 minutes for the device to be ready. A status message is displayed on the console to indicate the progress. After the device is ready, go to Action. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to sign in to the virtual device. The default user is EdgeUser and the default password is Password1.

    Sign in to the virtual device

  4. Steps 5-7 only apply when booting up in a non-DHCP environment. If you are in a DHCP environment, then skip these steps. If you booted up your device in non-DHCP environment, you will see a message to the effect.

  5. To configure the network, use the Get-HcsIpAddress command to list the network interfaces enabled on your virtual device. Если на устройстве включен один сетевой интерфейс, имя по умолчанию, назначенное этому интерфейсу, — это Ethernet.

  6. Используйте командлет Set-HcsIpAddress для настройки сети. См. следующий пример.

    Set-HcsIpAddress –Name Ethernet –IpAddress 10.161.22.90 –Netmask 255.255.255.0 –Gateway 10.161.22.1

  7. After the initial setup is complete and the device has booted up, you will see the device banner text. Make a note of the IP address and the URL displayed in the banner text to manage the device. Use this IP address to connect to the web UI of your virtual device and complete the local setup and activation.
