RAS Provider Agent installation options
If you are installing a dedicated RAS Provider Agent, you first need to determine where it will be installed. Depending on the Provider type, the following options are available:
The host on which the hypervisor is running. This option is available for Microsoft Hyper-V only.
A supported version of Windows Server running on a physical box or in a virtual machine. For supported Windows Server versions, see Software requirements > RAS Provider Agent.
The following table lists RAS Provider Agent installation options for each supported Provider:
In the table above, find the Provider type that you are using and see where the RAS Provider Agent can be installed. Depending on the available choices, do one of the following:
Built-in Agent: The agent is a part of RAS Connection Broker, so it is already installed. When possible, it is always recommended to use the built-in Provider Agent for high availability and business continuity.
Agent on a Windows Server (VM or HW): To use this option, make sure you have a physical box or a virtual machine running a supported version of Windows Server. You will need to specify its FQDN or IP address when adding a Provider to the Farm.
