In this recipe, we will go through the steps to use VMM 2016 to discover a physical computer, install an operating system, add the Hyper-V role, and then add the machine to a host group with streamline procedures in a highly automated operation called Bare Metal deployment.
Before starting a Bare metal deployment, a one-time configuration of the environment is required, and then when that is completed, you can start provisioning physical servers.
To deploy a Hyper-V server, you will need to run the Add Resources
Wizard, which will then discover the physical computers pre-configured for PXE, and then you will configure settings such as host group, physical computer profile, and custom settings, before starting to deploy the physical server.
Go through the following steps to prepare the infrastructure for a Bare-Metal deployment:
- Deploy a PXE Server: Install a new server (for example,
wds01
) with Windows...
