If you are installing a dedicated RAS VDI Agent, you first need to determine where it will be installed. Depending on the hypervisor type, the following options are available:
- The host on which the hypervisor is running. This option is available for Microsoft Hyper-V only.
- A supported version of Windows Server running on a physical box or in a virtual machine.
- A preconfigured Linux-based virtual appliance (provided by Parallels). The appliance can be deployed on any hypervisor on your network.
Important: All of the RAS VDI components must be installed in the same subnet. This includes the hypervisor software, the RAS VDI Agent, guest VMs, and the RAS Publishing Agent.
The following table lists RAS VDI Agent installation options for each supported hypervisor type:
