Add a CPU Core to an EDA 1000v on Hyper-V

This guide explains how to add a CPU core to an ExtraHop virtual appliance that is running in a Hyper-V environment.

The ExtraHop Discover 1000v requires a minimum of two processing cores with hyper-threading support. If you want to enable SSL decryption, we recommend that you add a third processing core to avoid performance degradation.

Note:You must have a valid ExtraHop license before you can enable SSL decryption.
  1. From the Admin UI, in the Appliance Settings section, click Shutdown or Restart.
  2. In the System row, click Shutdown.
    Note:You must save or revert changes to the running config file before shutting down or restarting the system.
  3. Open the Hyper-V Manager.
  4. In the Virtual Machines list, select the name of the virtual machine. For example, ExtraHop-EDA1000v.
  5. In the right panel, under the name of the virtual machine, click Settings.
  6. In the Settings window, click Processor.
  7. From the Number of virtual processors drop-down list, select 3.
  8. Click Apply, and then click OK.
  9. In the right panel, under the name of the virtual machine, click Start.
