Hyper-V VHD image for FMC virtual

Hello,

Cisco install documentation refers to a VHD image for FMC virtual but I can't find that in downloads. Has anybody seen this file?

Thanks

@tato386 it's the same as the Azure image I believe as per - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/quick_start/fmcv/fpmc-virtual/m_deploy_the_management_center_virtual_on_hyper_v.html#concept_hqs_bmw_3wb

Download Management Center Virtual VHD Image

Download the Management Center Virtual compressed VHD image from the Cisco Download Software page to your local machine:

Navigate to Products > Security > Firewalls > Firewall Management > Secure Firewall Management Center Virtual
Click Firepower Management Center Software and download the required VHD image. For example, Cisco_Secure_FW_Mgmt_Center_Virtual_Azure-7.4.0- xxxx.vhd.tar.

The Azure VHD did indeed work on straight up Hyper-V on Win2019. I took me several tries because the documentation is a bit short on details on how to use the day0-config ISO. It seems like mounting the ISO on the correct IDE slot is important. I used this post to finally get it to recognize the ISO.
