Manually Creating the Cisco CSR 1000V VM Using the .iso File (Microsoft Hyper-V)
Prerequisites
While the following procedure provides a general guideline for how to manually create the VM for the
Cisco CSR 1000V, the exact steps that you need to perform may vary depending on the characteristics
of your Microsoft Hyper-V environment and setup. For more information, see Microsoft Windows
Server 2012 R2 documentation.
Note The Cisco CSR 1000V does not support deploying the OVA file in Microsoft Hyper-V environments.
Before installing the Cisco CSR 1000V on a Microsoft Hyper-V VM, the following must be installed on
the host:
• Hyper-V Manager
• Failover Cluster Manager
• Virtual Switch
Although not required, it is recommended that you create the Virtual Switch prior to creating the
VM for the Cisco CSR 1000V.

The following steps are performed on Server Manager on the host.
Step 1 On the Server Manager, select Dashboard to configure the local server.
Step 2 Select Manager from the top right, and then select Add Roles and Features from the drop-down menu.
The Add Roles and Features Wizard opens.
Step 3 Click Next.

• File and Storage Services
• Hyper-V
Step 5 Select Features. In the Features list, select the following option by clicking on the checkbox:
