Development SDK VM Creation

The Developer SDK VM can be created from scratch by the developer.

The developer can use virtualization software of their preference. For this document, examples of Oracle VirtualBox will be used.

For the VM, the developer may select the O/S of their preference. We recommend using a Linux distro with a GUI. For the purposes of this guide, We will use Linux Ubuntu 22.04.3 desktop distribution from Ubuntu.com. Download the O/S ISO file, you will later attach the ISO file to your VM to allow installation.

Make sure the selected hardware can run the VM, and its disk has at least 300GB free.

  1. Create the VM with at least 8GB RAM, 2 virtual processors, 100GB disk.

  2. It is mandatory to have 1 LAN port. Make sure to configure it in the VM Network configuration (as below):

    Network Settings Adapter 1

  3. If hardware is available, it is recommended to configure a second LAN port:

    Network Settings Adapter 2

Note

The Network Adapters shown on your system will differ from the above images.

Installation Procedure

  1. Attach the previously downloaded O/S ISO file to the VM and boot up.
  2. Once the VM boots up, make sure to configure the LAN ports accordingly to the HCC2 requirements:
    • LAN1 – IPv4: DHCP – IPv6: Disabled
    • (Optional) LAN2 – IPv4: 192.168.1.72/24 (make sure that this IP Address does not already exist in the same network), IPv6: Disabled.
