# Advanced

The **Advanced** page has different properties for different types of Providers. The differences are described below.

## **Hypervisor-based Providers:**

* **Cluster Shared Volume (CSV)**, **Network share**: These two options appear if you are using Hyper-V Failover Cluster. They allow you to select a type of storage where hosts will be created. Select a desired option and then click the **\[...]** button next to the edit field. Depending on the option selected, specify a Cluster Shared Volume or network folder. Note that a shared folder must be compatible with SMB 3.0. Please also note that the same credentials used to register Microsoft Hyper-V host as a Provider will be used to access the SMB file share for Hosts.

  Please also read the important note below.

**Note:** To use this functionality, you need to set SMB constrained delegation (resource-based) using Windows PowerShell. **Important:** Windows Server 2012 forest functional level is required.\
On a server running Windows 2012 R2 and above install the Active Directory PowerShell module using Powershell. Note that you don’t need the module on a Hyper-V host or SMB file servers.\
Run the following cmdlet:\
`Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell`\
Delegate SMB delegation on a file server (cluster) for every node of Hyper-V cluster. For example if you are running a four-node Hyper-V cluster and you use a Scale-Out File Server cluster FS-CL01 as virtual machine storage:\
`Enable-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01 –SmbClient Hyperv-01`\
`Enable-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01 –SmbClient Hyperv-02`\
`Enable-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01 –SmbClient Hyperv-03`\
`Enable-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01 –SmbClient Hyperv-04`\
**Mandatory:** verify applied settings (the actual delegations) as follows:\
`Get-SmbDelegation –SmbServer FS-CL01`
{% endhint %}

* **Folder:** This option is available if you are using Hyper-V, VMware vCenter, or Nutanix AHV (AOS). It specifies a folder where hosts will be created.
* **Use a separate network interface for LAN access**: This option is available if you are using any of the Hyper-V or VMware providers. Specifies the network interface that will be used by Connection Broker and Provider Agent. This is useful if a template has several network interfaces and you want to use a specific one for communication with Parallels RAS. If you select this option, you also need to specify the following:
  * **Address**: IP address of the network interface.
  * **Subnet mask**: Subnet mask of the IP address.
* **Resource pool**: Specifies a VMware resource pool.
* **Physical Host:** Available for VMware vCenter. Specifies a physical host where hosts will be created.
* **Enable hardware acceleration graphics licensing support:** This option is available if you are using VMware vCenter or VMware ESXi. Select it to allow vGPU-enabled hosts to unregister their vGPU licenses from the license server on shutdown.

## **Microsoft Azure Provider:**

* **Resource group**: Select an Azure resource group where the cloned VM will be created. Note that this must be a group to which you granted permissions to the Microsoft Entra ID app. For details, see [**Create a Microsoft Entra ID application**](/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/virtual-desktop-infrastructure-vdi/add-a-provider/add-a-cloud-provider/microsoft-azure/create-microsoft-entra-id-application.md).
* **Size:** Select a VM size to be used for cloned VMs.
* **OS disk type:** Select a disk type to be used for cloned VMs.
