Installing and configuring Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V on Windows Server Core systems
You can install and configure Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V on Hyper-V hosts on Windows Server operating systems that were installed with the Server Core option.
Before you begin
On each host where Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V is installed, ensure that the HTTPS port that is used to communicate with Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V is open in the firewall. Unless specified otherwise, the default port number of 9081 is used.
About this task
Because local user interfaces are not supported on Server Core, you must install Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V silently on a stand-alone host or on each host in a cluster.
You must manage Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V by using the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console from another deployment and pointing it to a stand-alone host or a host in a cluster.
