AWS Amazon Machine Images for Windows Quick Start Guide
Introduction
This quick start guide describes how to configure DH2i’s pay-as-you-go DxEnterprise Windows images available on AWS. Using this guide, the user will configure DxEnterprise on two servers (nodes) and join the second node into a cluster.
Prerequisites
- An AWS Virtual Machine (VM) with DxEnterprise pre-installed. To create a DxEnterprise VM using a Marketplace Image, search for “DxEnterprise” in the Marketplace using the AWS search bar.
- A second DxEnterprise VM for joining two nodes into a cluster.
Configure Server
-
Ensure the VM is up-to-date using Windows Update or sconfig.
-
Ensure the server hostname is set and unique.
-
Run the DxEnterprise Setup shortcut on the desktop to start DxEnterprise services.
Configure DxEnterprise Using DxConfiguration Manager
DxConfiguration Manager is a client tool used to configure first-time DxEnterprise installations on Windows. After the configuration is completed, administrators can use DxEnterprise’s management UI, DxAdmin, for cluster management. See the DxConfiguration Manager Admin Guide for more information.
