Install the Mirage Server

The Mirage servers manage the storage and delivery of base layers, app layers, and CVDs to clients, and consolidate communications for monitoring and management. You can deploy multiple servers as a server cluster to manage endpoint devices for large enterprise organizations.

About this task

You can allocate a larger number of concurrent CVDs for high-end servers, or a smaller number for low-end servers.

The .msi installation file is located in the Mirage installation package.

Prerequisites

• Install an SSL Certificate on the server. See Install an SSL Server Certificate for the Mirage Server.

• Verify that the SQL server is reachable from the server node, and that the firewall settings on the SQL server allow for remote connections.

• The relevant software requirements are met. See Software Requirements.
