Add a virtual server (deploy/OS initial settings): Service details

The processing overview is as follows:
1. A virtual server is created on the Hyper-V server:
• Replicate a virtual server from a previously exported one in the import destination folder.
• Create a virtual server by using the import function on the Hyper-V server.
Assign a new unique ID to the new virtual server you create.
If the specified import destination folder already exists, the folder is used as is.
2. The virtual server's connection destination (management-use) virtual switch is set up:
• You must set up a management-use virtual switch for a NIC to establish communication with the
local server.
• If a connection-destination virtual switch is already set on the exported virtual server, the switch is
replaced by the specified one.
• For the first NIC, set up a management-use virtual switch that can communicate with the local
server. For the second to fourth NICs, set a management-use or operation-use virtual switch
according to the user operating requirements.
• If the number of specified virtual switches exceeds the number of NICs on the virtual server, only
the virtual switches allocated to NICs are enabled.
3. A response file to be used for OS customization is created and deployed:
a. Mount the virtual disk of the virtual server to the Hyper-V server.
b. On the mounted virtual disk, create a response file to use for OS customization.
c. Unmount the virtual disk from the Hyper-V server.
4. The virtual server starts, and the initial settings on the virtual server are specified:
• Set the computer name, company name, organization name, and time zone as the initial OS
settings.
• Set IP addresses for the virtual server.
A virtual server can have a maximum of four IP addresses. For the first IP address (management-use
IP address), set an IP address for managing the deployed virtual server. For the second to fourth IP
addresses, set an IP management-use IP address or operation-use IP address according to the user
operating requirements. Some settings require connection to the OS by using a management-use IP
address. The order in which IP addresses are set differs depending on the number of NICs installed on
the virtual server:
